Meanwhile, detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

1 is a network diagram for the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, clients 104 and server 102 are connected to a communication network 100, and a portable mobile telephone base station 108 is connected to the communication network 100. A network configuration for communicating is shown. According to the present invention, the server 102 includes a ringtone file database 110 in which various ringtone files are stored, and a user's portable mobile phone key pad 202 when a call request signal is received. It provides a key input by the user to the MPU 200. The display unit 204 is provided with a liquid crystal display (LCD) to display the chemical information according to the control of the MPU 200 through the LCD. The codec 206 connected to the MPU 200 and the microphone 222 and the speaker 224 connected to the codec 206 are voice input / output blocks used for telephone calls and voice recording. In addition, the duplexer 220 separates a signal transmitted and received to and from the mobile base station 106 through the antenna 226. The RF transmitter 218 modulates a signal to be transmitted from the MPU 200 through the interface 214 to transmit an RF signal through the duplexer 220 and the antenna 226, and the RF receiver 216 is an antenna ( 226 and the RF signal received through the duplexer 220 are demodulated and output to the MPU 200 through the interface 214.

For a ringtone download service method having a caller name voice output means according to the present invention, the voice data of various ringtones is formed into a file and stored in a ringtone file database 110 provided in the service providing server 102. The ringtone file includes various ringtone files suitable for each model of the wireless terminal. In addition, the input unit for receiving the caller name displayed on the LCD configured on the display unit 204 of the user's wireless terminal in a ring tone of a specific part designated by the user in a call request request signal includes various forms suitable for each model of the terminal. do. When the user of the cellular phone as shown in FIG. 2 wants to download a ringtone, the user first accesses the service providing server 102 through a communication service using a PC connected to the communication network 100.

In the following description, a user connects to the service providing server 102 through his personal computer corresponding to one of the clients 104 as an example. When the user accesses the service providing server 102 in this manner, the service providing server 102 performs an operation according to the processing flowchart of FIG. 3.

3 is a process flow diagram of the service providing server 102 of FIG. 1 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, in operation 300, the service providing server 102 performs step 302 in response to a user connecting. In step 302, the service providing server 102 provides a list of ringtone files stored in the ringtone file database 110 to the user through a communication network, and waits for the user to select a ringtone file in step 304. . On the other hand, the provided ringtone file is displayed on the PC monitor screen as in the case of normal PC communication. If the user selects one ringtone file, the service providing server 102 performs step 306 of determining whether to edit the ringtone file selected by the user in response to step 304. If the user selects to edit the ringtone file in step 306, the service providing server 102 performs step 308 of providing an editing unit 112 for editing the selected ringtone file. In operation 308, the ringtone file editing unit 112 provided by the service providing server 102 may include an input unit receiving the caller name displayed on the LCD configured on the display unit 204 of the user's wireless terminal and the input caller name. It is composed of a voice conversion program for converting the voice, ring tone playing sound processing unit for deleting the incoming ringtone or change to a weak playing sound when the caller name is output to the voice. Here, the ringtone sound processing unit deletes the ringtone sound when the name is output as a voice according to the user's selection, or deletes the lyrics and the caller's name is output as the voice according to the sound. Can be provided.

In operation 308, when the user edits the ringtone file using the editing unit 112, the user listens to the edited ringtone playing sound in advance (310). In operation 310, the operation performed by the user to determine whether to listen to the ringtone playing sound and to edit it again is performed (312). If you do not like the ringtone playing sound edited in step 312, perform steps 308 to 312 to re-edit the ringtone, and if you like the ringtone playing sound, perform step 314. . If the user requests a download for the ringtone file edited in step 314, the service providing server 102 inserts an input unit for receiving a caller name and a voice conversion program for outputting a caller name input to the input unit as a voice. The ringtone file is transmitted to the user's portable mobile phone terminal 108.

Subsequent ringtone downloading steps and storing and setting the ringtones downloaded by the user to the portable mobile phone terminal 108 are the same as those of the conventional method, which will not be described below.

4 shows a processing flow diagram of the portable mobile phone terminal 108 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

When the user's mobile phone terminal 108 receives a call request signal in step 400, the user's mobile phone terminal 108 detects caller information from a caller reception service provided by a telecommunication company (402). Perform the steps. Step 404 is performed to extract data from the caller information detected at step 402. In step 404, the caller information extracted in step 404 and the user input in advance to the portable mobile phone terminal 108 are compared with the stored data. If the sender information and the stored data match in step 406, step 408 is performed to extract the name of the caller from the stored data. In step 410, the caller name extracted in step 408 is transmitted to an input unit inserted into an incoming ringtone file stored in the flash RAM 208 of the user's portable mobile terminal 108 according to a user's request. Perform The caller name input in step 410 is performed in step 412 in which the caller name is output as a voice from a specific part of the ring tone designated by the user by the voice conversion program inserted in the ringtone file.

If the caller information is not detected in step 402 or if the data extracted from the caller information in step 406 and the data stored by the user input to the portable mobile phone terminal 108 do not match (414). Follow the steps.

As such, when the user connects to the service providing server 102 and designates a specific part of the ring to be downloaded using the editing unit 112, the service providing server 102 assigns the ring file selected by the user to the user's portable mobile phone terminal ( 108 to insert an input unit and a voice conversion program for receiving the caller's name when transmitting to the user's portable mobile phone terminal 108 to change the caller's name to be output as voice in a specific part of the ringtone selected by the user Can be used.

On the other hand, various modifications to the above-described embodiment can be carried out without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, while the above-described embodiment shows an example of applying the present invention to a mobile phone, the same applies to other types of portable mobile phone terminals such as smart phones. Therefore, the scope of the invention should not be defined by the described embodiments, but should be defined by the equivalent of claims and claims.

As described above, according to the present invention, the caller's name is directly output from the specific part of the ringtone by using an editing unit provided by the service providing server while the user selects the ringtone of the wireless terminal in various ways. You can make your ringtones. That is, when a call request signal is received by the user's portable mobile phone terminal, the caller ID transmitted from the communication network is recognized, and the recognized phone number is compared with the stored phone number input by the user, and the caller name is extracted. It has the effect of increasing the convenience of the user caller identification by outputting from the voice.
