As shown in FIG. 1, the system of the present invention uses a home location register (HLR) 10 and a home location register (HTP) based on a No. 7 network 20 based on a signaling transfer protocol (STP). HLR: 10) originating and terminating exchanges (O_MSC / VLR, T_MSC / VLR: 31, 32), which are connected to No. 7 network 20 and gateway (CGS): 40 via the exchange ( 31, 32 through the sound source providing device 50, the Internet network 60 via the sound source providing server 70 in data communication with the sound source providing device 50, and the Internet network 60 through the A broadcasting source management server for receiving and storing sound source information for each broadcasting time zone used for a broadcasting program from each broadcasting station server and performing data communication with the sound source providing control server 70 through the Internet network 60; 100) and broadcast programming from each broadcasting station server through a mobile communication network. Receiving and storing a broadcast time slot that is used for excitation and includes ARS system 110 for performing data communication with the sound source-providing control server 70 to the CTI (Computer Telephony Integration).

In the above, the home location register 10 has a normal function required for ring back tone service. That is, the first information indicating whether the subscriber is a ringback tone service subscriber and the second information for routing to the sound source providing device 50 together with a function as a network component for a voice call, are used as profile information for the called subscriber. It includes a function that has been preset.

The exchanges 31 and 32 communicate with the home location register 10 when registering the location of the subscriber mobile terminal to receive and store the predetermined first information and the second information, and store the received first information when the call subscriber requests a call connection. Receives a ringback tone sound source in communication with the sound source providing apparatus 50 based on the first and second information, and provides the received ringback tone sound source to the caller.

The sound source providing apparatus 50 stores various sound sources, communicates with the exchanges 31 and 32 via the gateway 40 to communicate with the exchanged sound sources, and provides the stored sound sources to the corresponding exchanges 31 and 32.

The sound source providing control server 70 communicates with the sound source providing device 50 via the Internet network 60, so that the sound source providing device 50 is provided to the switchboards 31 and 32. The type is specified based on a combination of identification information of the called subscriber who is requested to make a call connection, identification information of the caller corresponding to the call connection, and / or call request time zone information (e.g., various various sound sources are sent by caller, caller group, and caller). By age, gender, occupation, and / or calling time zone, respectively). For example, a code is assigned to various sound sources stored in the sound source providing apparatus 50, and when the called party joins or When changing the information, select the sender, sender group, call time zone, etc., and specify the corresponding sound source, and have the information about this as a table and then based on the table information. The sound source and controls the sound source providing device 50 to be provided to the heat exchanger 32 side.

The broadcast sound source management server 100 is connected to the sound source providing device 50 or the sound source providing server 70 through the Internet network 60, and also to each broadcasting station server (not shown) and the Internet network 60. It is connected via. The broadcast sound source management server 100 receives and stores sound source information used for a broadcast editing program from each broadcasting station server, and the received sound source information is broadcast of song names or / and singer information such as music, music video, and sound effects. Contains time zone information used for. And the broadcast sound source management server 100 is connected to the subscriber's terminal (that is, mobile terminal, computer, PDA, etc.), the information for specifying the sound source of the sound source providing control server 70 according to the subscriber's request (specific caller , Caller group, time zone, etc.) and the sound source code corresponding thereto are changed and added to communicate with the sound source providing control server 70.

The ARS system 110 has the same general operation as that of the broadcast sound source management server 100, but providing a service through a subscriber mobile terminal and a voice call is a difference from the broadcast sound source management server 100. .

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

In general, each airwave broadcaster has a web server so that an Internet accessor can check the information of the broadcast programming, and the web server of each broadcaster manages a database that stores the information of the broadcast programming. The program information stored in the database is a program name, a program video or audio file, an advertisement file, and the like. Here, before describing the present invention, it is assumed that the information of the broadcasting program managed by each broadcasting company server includes sound source information for each program, and the sound source information for each program is matched to the broadcast time zone and includes song names, singer information, and the like. .

2 is a flowchart of a method for allowing a subscriber to select a broadcast sound source as a ringback tone sound source according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

When a subscriber who is listening to or watching a music broadcast or drama or advertisement through TV or radio decides to select a ringback tone source (ie, ring back tone) for the music that is currently being listened to, and presses a hot key formed on the mobile terminal. The ringback tone setting service request is transmitted from the subscriber mobile terminal to the broadcast sound source management server 100 (S201).

When receiving the ringback tone setting service request from the subscriber mobile terminal, the broadcast sound management server 100 performs subscriber authentication in a conventional manner. That is, the subscriber is required to input the registered ID and password, and the ID and password are obtained from the subscriber. Then, it is determined whether the service subscriber is compared with the subscriber information stored in the subscriber storage DB (80) (S202).

In the above judgment, if the subscriber is not a service subscriber, a message informing of the denial of service is transmitted to the subscriber mobile terminal (S203), and if the subscriber is a service subscriber, the subscriber list is provided so that the subscriber can select a broadcaster that provides the music that is currently listening. (S204). The broadcast sound source management server 100 knows the telephone number of the visitor through the ID and password obtained through the authentication process, and uses it for billing and service registration.

In step S204, the subscriber mobile terminal displays a list of broadcasters, and when a subscriber selects a broadcaster, radio, TV, and Internet broadcast channels managed by the corresponding broadcaster are displayed. When the subscriber selects one broadcast channel (S205), the broadcast source management server 100 receives the ringback tone setting service request signal including the identification code of the broadcast channel selected by the subscriber, and is currently broadcast on the corresponding broadcast channel. The sound source information is retrieved and read from its own stored database and then provided to the subscriber mobile terminal (S206).

Here, the method of determining the sound source information currently broadcast by the broadcast sound source management server 100 uses a time when the ringback tone setting service request signal is received. That is, the reception time of the ring back tone setting service request signal is checked, and the sound source information broadcast in a time zone including the checked time (hereinafter, referred to as a 'service request time') is determined as sound source information currently being broadcast. The sound source information corresponding to the service request time is preferably one piece of sound source information broadcasted during the time period including the service request time. It is preferable to further include one or more sound source information (hereinafter, referred to as 'previous sound source information') broadcast before time. Therefore, the sound source information provided to the subscriber mobile terminal from the broadcast sound source management server 100 is the sound source information which records the currently broadcast sound source information and the previous sound source information sequentially broadcasted from the service request time.

The subscriber mobile terminal provided with the sound source list displays at least one sound source information, that is, a list of information of a song name and a singer. The displayed sound source information list is displayed by giving priority to the sound source information most recently broadcasted from the present time.

Therefore, according to the display of the sound source information list, the subscriber's sound source selection is one example. If the sound source for service registration is still being broadcast, the first sound source information in the list is selected, and the sound source for service registration is broadcast before the sound source currently broadcasted. If the second sound source information is selected (S207).

When the broadcast sound source management server 100 receives one piece of sound source identification information (code) selected by the subscriber from the subscriber mobile terminal, the sound source providing control server 70 inquires whether the subscriber can service the sound source selected by the call connection sound (S208). ).

The sound source providing control server 70 is whether the sound source selected by the subscriber is a sound source (that is, a sound source that can be reproduced by the sound source providing apparatus 50) stored in the sound source providing apparatus 50, or a sound source which is not broadcast or copyright law. Please confirm whether the sound source can not be broadcast in public places. The confirmation result is provided as a response message to the broadcast sound source management server 100 (S209). The response message is a message indicating service availability or service failure.

Then, the broadcast sound management server 100 determines whether the service is available through the received response message (S210), and if the service is not available according to the determination result, provides a service rejection message to the subscriber mobile terminal (S211). The subscriber performs a sound source registration process for registering the sound source selected by the call connection sound (S212).

Meanwhile, in the above description, the service availability checking process (S208, S207) is to be performed after the sound source selection process (S207), but may be performed before the process of providing the sound source list (S206). In this case, the broadcast sound source management server 100 knows whether the service is available for each sound source in the sound source list before the sound source list, and adds the service availability information to the sound source of the sound source list to provide the subscriber mobile terminal. . As a result, the subscriber mobile terminal receiving the list information displays the serviceable sound source and the non-serviceable sound source by text, color, or flashing to distinguish the service availability. It knows whether the service is available, so it does not select a sound source that is not in service.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 3, a service method for setting a music to be listened during broadcasting according to a second embodiment of the present invention to ringback tone will be described. 3 is a flowchart of a service method for setting a music to be listened to during a broadcast to a ringback tone according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

A subscriber who is listening to or watching a music broadcast or drama or advertisement through a TV or radio, decides to select a ringback tone source (ie, ring back tone) for the music that is currently being listened to and to the ARS system 110 formed in the mobile terminal. When a hot key requesting a connection is pressed, a ringback tone setting service request is transmitted from the subscriber mobile terminal to the ARS system 110 through the mobile communication network (S301).

When the ARS system 110 receives the ringback tone setup service request from the subscriber mobile terminal, the ARS system 110 performs subscriber authentication in a conventional manner. In other words, the subscriber is requested to input the resident registration number of the registered subscriber and the telephone number (or password of the mobile terminal) of the mobile terminal, and obtains it from the subscriber. Then, it is determined whether the service subscriber is compared with the subscriber information stored in the subscriber storage DB (80) (S302).

The ARS system 110 transmits a voice message notifying the denial of service to the subscriber mobile terminal when the subscriber is not the service subscriber (S303). If the subscriber is the service subscriber, the ARS system 110 selects a broadcaster that provides music that the subscriber is currently listening to. A list of broadcasters is provided by voice so as to be able to speak (S304).

When the subscriber listens to the broadcaster list by voice through the process (S304), the subscriber performs a key button operation for selecting a channel of the corresponding broadcaster (the channel of the broadcaster that is currently listening) according to the voice guidance. Select (S305).

Accordingly, the ARS system 110 knows the broadcast channel selected by the subscriber, retrieves the sound source information currently broadcasted from the broadcast channel from its own stored database, and provides the voice to the subscriber mobile terminal (S306). Here, the method of determining the sound source information currently broadcast by the ARS system 110 is the same as in the first embodiment.

When the subscriber who has received the sound source list by voice selects one sound source by operating a key button (S307), the ARS system 110 plays the sound source selected by the subscriber and provides the music to the subscriber (S308). In this case, if the subscriber wants to register the music by listening to the music, the subscriber presses a specific key button to notify the confirmation of the registration sound source to register the service (S309).

If the incoming music is not the music to be registered, the subscriber selects the sound source of the voice guided sound source list and repeats the process of listening to the playback music from the ARS system 110. Will be selected.

When the ARS system 110 determines the sound source selected by the subscriber, the ARS system 110 inquires whether the sound source selected by the subscriber can be serviced by the call connection sound (S3). The sound source providing control server 70 is whether the sound source selected by the subscriber is a sound source (that is, a sound source that can be reproduced by the sound source providing apparatus 50) stored in the sound source providing apparatus 50, or a sound source which is not broadcast or copyright law. Please confirm whether the sound source can not be broadcast in public places. The result of the confirmation is provided as a response message to the ARS system 110 (S311). The response message is a message indicating service availability or service failure.

The ARS system 110 determines whether the service is available through the received response message (S312), and if not available, provides a voice message notifying the service denial to the subscriber mobile terminal according to the determination result (S313). After providing a voice message informing the subscriber that the service is available, the subscriber performs a sound source registration process to register the selected sound source as the call connection sound (S314).

Meanwhile, in the above description, the service availability check process (S310, S311) is to be performed after the step (S309) of confirming the sound source registration, but before the process (S306) of providing the sound source list by voice. Can be. In this case, the ARS system 110 knows whether a service is available for each sound source in the sound source list before the sound source list, and can inform the subscriber of a sound service that is not serviceable during voice guidance of the sound source list. As a result, the subscriber knows whether the service is available for the sound recording that he / she wants to register, and does not select a sound source that is not in service.

The sound source registration process (S212, S314) is in accordance with the usual procedure. That is, when one sound source is selected as a ring tone by the subscriber, the broadcast sound source management server 100 or the ARS system 110 sends the ringback tone service registration information to the subscriber storage DB 80 to register the ringback tone service. Store in correspondence with the telephone number. The ring back tone service registration information includes a code indicating a ring back tone registrant and a code of a set sound source.

Then, the subscription information (including a phone number) is transmitted from the subscriber storage DB to the home location register 10, and the subscriber profile of the home location register 10 is subscribed to the service of the present invention.

The technical spirit of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this is by way of example only and not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, it is obvious that any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and imitations without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

The present invention has the effect that the sound source such as music or music video, sound effects, etc. being watched or listened to through the broadcast medium can be immediately set as the call connection sound using a communication medium such as a mobile terminal or a computer.
