Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a method of outputting a sound effect during a call of a mobile communication terminal to make a conversation fun and rich by allowing an effect sound to be inserted into a voice call with a counterpart. Has its purpose.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises the steps of downloading a sound effect to be used during a call with the Internet or a computer via the menu operation sound effect setting items; Allocating only the sound effects to be mainly used among the sound effects to a keypad or making a database for each type; Outputting a sound effect by pressing a button of a keypad on which the sound effect is set during a phone call, or outputting the sound effect list by selecting a desired sound effect item on a screen during a phone call. It is characterized by.

The present invention stores a variety of sound effects that can be applied during a conversation in the user's mobile communication terminal, and by outputting the sound effect according to the dialogue situation during the voice call using the mobile communication terminal, having fun with the other party The main idea is to provide a way to make people feel better and make conversations more enjoyable.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described.

1 is a flow chart illustrating a method of outputting a sound effect during a call of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention. Although a terminal has several sound effects basically mounted thereon, sound effects that do not fit the user depending on the user's personality are provided. Since there may be, the terminal allows a new sound effect to be downloaded by connecting to the Internet or a computer.

In this case, the downloaded sound effects are databased in a method that can be designated by the terminal, and may be simply assigned in numerical order, assigned by type (laugh, cry, animal, voice, etc.), and mainly used for sound effects. Is assigned to the keypad so that the effect sound assigned to the button is output as soon as the keypad is pressed during a conversation.

In this case, separate sound may be provided to clearly include the effect sound in the conversation, but even if the sound is output through a speaker for speaker output or a handset (speaker) for voice output, the sound effect is communicated through the handset of the terminal. Since it may be included in, it would be desirable to apply a method that does not require a separate additional cost for the application of the present invention.

Of course, in order to set the sound effect on the keypad as described above, or separately register as an appropriate item in the database, a user interface as shown in FIG. 2 should be further included.

2 is an exemplary view showing a setting screen for outputting a sound effect during a call of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, and selecting an item related to setting a sound effect during a call from a menu screen output by calling the main menu.

Next, submenu items related to the busy sound effect setting are output. The submenu items may include 'keypad assignment', 'change registration order', 'download sound effects', 'create separate items', and 'output sound effect list'.

Here, the 'Keypad Assignment' item is for assigning frequently used items to the keypad buttons among the sound effects already downloaded, and the 'Change Registration Order' item is the order in which the sound effects are stored. When you select one of them and output it, the sound effects are output in the order of saving. Therefore, the sound effects that you want to use often are used when you need to change them to higher numbers.

In other words, in recent years, the number of users using PDA-type terminals is increasing. In the case of PDA-type terminals, the user picks up the terminal in the hand and looks at the screen, and then calls with earphones.

Next, when the database is generated as described above, the 'separation item generation' item is used to store corresponding sound effects by creating a new separation item that does not exist in the database when allocating sound effects by type. In other words, it creates a kind of new folder for storing sound effects.

Next, the 'output sound effect list' item is to output the list to the screen to selectively output the sound effects stored in the database.

That is, in the present invention, there is a method for assigning and outputting an effect sound to a keypad or for displaying and displaying various effect sound items on a screen.
