The present invention relates to a multimedia service in a mobile communication network, and more particularly, to a method of simultaneously providing a voice message service in a multimedia game.

In the past, Internet services through wired networks have become commonplace. In particular, online games over the Internet have become popular.

On the other hand, in the Internet wired network where online games are active, high-speed data transmission and voice transmission are performed through the packet network. As a result, when several users play online games at the same time, one user may deliver voices to several other users at the same time, or may deliver voices to only specific users.

However, these prior arts are mainly used for wired networks. In other words, the simultaneous transmission of voice during online games is possible only in the Internet wired network, and in the wireless network, voice and high-speed data communication cannot be performed together due to technical limitations.

In other words, in the prior art, there has been a technology for transmitting communication between users who play online games in an internet wired network as voice during the game. However, due to technical limitations, wireless networks could not provide simultaneous services for online gaming and voice transmission.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention has been made in view of the above, and is an online multimedia utilizing a simultaneous voice and data (SVD) service that simultaneously provides voice and data wireless communication. The present invention provides a method of simultaneously supporting a voice message service during a game.

It is another object of the present invention to easily communicate by communicating between users while simultaneously playing online games using SVD services that simultaneously support voice and data wireless communication in a 1xEV-DV (1xEvolution Data and Voice) system. The present invention provides a method of providing a voice message service in a multimedia game.

A feature of the present invention for achieving the above object is a method for providing a voice message service in the multimedia game when a plurality of mobile communication terminal is running a multimedia game provided by the system side of the mobile communication network, the mobile communication One of the terminals, the calling terminal, converts the input user's voice into a wireless signal of either a voice message or a text message, and then transmits a wireless signal corresponding to the voice message through a wireless packet data channel or transmits to the text message. Transmitting a corresponding wireless signal through one of an access channel and a dedicated call channel, and a called terminal, which is one of the mobile communication terminals, outputs as a voice a wireless signal received through the wireless packet data channel; One of the access channel and the dedicated call channel It is made of a step of outputting the radio signal received through one as a character.

Preferably, the voice message is a wireless voice packet packetizing the user voice.

Preferably, as it is confirmed that the wireless signal received through one of the access channel and the dedicated call channel is a text message, the called terminal outputs the text on the screen where the multimedia game is in progress.

Preferably, the plurality of mobile communication terminal stores the identification information of each other. Then, the called terminal determines whether the received wireless signal is transmitted from the terminal receiving the multimedia game by using the identification information of the mobile communication terminals stored therein.

Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating the configuration and operation of the embodiment of the present invention, the configuration and operation of the present invention shown in the drawings and described by it will be described by at least one embodiment, By the technical spirit of the present invention described above and its core configuration and operation is not limited.

The present invention provides a multimedia game to mobile communication terminals through a communication network, in particular, a mobile communication network. If the mobile communication terminal wants to deliver a message by voice while the multimedia game is running, the user's voice message is packetized and transmitted to other user terminals, or the user's voice message is converted into a text message. To the other user terminals.

In particular, the present invention delivers a voice message input during a multimedia game through a voice channel (FCH) after packetization. In addition, the voice-converted message is transmitted through an access channel (ACH) or a dedicated traffic channel (DTCH).

When a message is received during the multimedia game, the receiving terminal determines whether the received message is a voice message or a text message. Afterwards, it is printed according to the message type.

This invention will be described in more detail below.

First, a device configuration for providing a voice message service in a multimedia game according to the present invention is based on a 1xEV-DV system, and in particular, uses an SVD service. Thus, a multimedia game service is provided to various user terminals connected online through a packet data channel (PDCH) capable of high-speed data transmission. At the same time, the voice input from a specific user terminal is transmitted to a designated counterpart terminal or various user terminals in a game through a voice channel (FCH). In this case, the user terminal is preferably a mobile communication terminal, and most preferably, a 1xEV-DV handset.

In addition, the present invention supports a voice recognition function.

Accordingly, if desired by the user, the device of the voice recognition function converts the input voice into text. The signal transmitting end of the user terminal transmits the converted text message to the designated counterpart terminal or various user terminals in the game through an access channel (ACH) or a dedicated call channel (DTCH). The user terminal has its own voice recognition device.

As another example, the present invention includes a device that receives a voice message from the user terminal and converts it into a text in a server that provides a multimedia game service so that structural changes of the mobile communication terminal, which is a user terminal for text conversion, are not added. Thus, the multimedia game service server converts the voice into text and transmits it to the opposite terminal. The server is most preferably provided in the core network of the mobile communication network in consideration of the fact that the user terminal is a mobile communication terminal.

A procedure for providing a voice message service in a multimedia game based on the above configuration will be described below.

1 is a diagram illustrating a procedure for transmitting a voice message according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, various mobile communication terminals (where 1xEV-DV handsets are mobile communication terminals) connect to a communication system (here, 1xEV-DV system) network (S1).

When the connected mobile communication terminals request the execution of the multimedia game to the communication system network, the communication system network provides the multimedia game to the connected mobile communication terminal (S2, S3). Therefore, the connected mobile communication terminals play the multimedia game, so that several users simultaneously play the multimedia game (S4). At this time, the multimedia game is provided through the packet data channel (PDCH) (S3). The subject of providing the multimedia game is a communication system network, and a server for providing a multimedia game in detail is provided in the core network of the communication system.

 The multimedia game is a game that can be participated by several users, and it is preferable that the game be a team play. Therefore, for team play, communication between users participating in the multimedia game is required.

When communication between users is required while the users are playing a multimedia game, the user expresses the content to be delivered as voice. The expressed voice is then input to the mobile communication terminal (S5, S6).

At this time, the mobile communication terminal operates in two modes. One is voice delivery mode and the other is text delivery mode. These delivery modes operate by the user presetting the mobile communication terminal.

In the voice transmission mode, the mobile communication terminal transmits the input user's voice to other user terminals through the voice channel (FCH) (S8). On the other hand, the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention packetizes the input voice of the user (S7), and transmits the resulting voice packet to other user terminals through the packet data channel (S8). In other words, when the voice is to be sent directly to the voice without converting it to text, such as the voice transmission mode, it is more preferable to make the voice into a packet and then transmit the packet to the packet data channel. When the voice channel (FCH) is opened and used between users during the multimedia game, the voice call is continuously maintained between the mobile communication terminals.

In the text delivery mode, the mobile communication terminal recognizes the voice of the user input using the voice recognition device and then converts the voice into text (S9). Thereafter, the converted character is transmitted to other user terminals through an access channel (ACH) and / or a dedicated call channel (DTCH) (S10).

In the above two modes, the mobile communication terminal to which the voice / text is to be transmitted in advance designates a counterpart terminal to receive the voice / text in response to a user's request. However, as another example, if the current multimedia game is a team play game, the server controls the voice / text to be transmitted and received only between the same team members unless specified by the user.

As a result, multimedia games are provided through the communication system network, and at the same time, voice and text transmission and reception are provided between user terminals, thereby providing an SVD service.

In this case, when multiple users play a multimedia game at the same time, communication between the users must be promptly performed in accordance with the progress of the fast-paced game. To pass.

2 is a diagram illustrating a procedure for receiving a voice message according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, it is assumed that a user receives and receives a multimedia game from a mobile communication terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a called terminal) in operation S11.

At this time, the communication system network side receives a message from a mobile communication terminal (hereinafter referred to as a calling terminal).

The communication system network side acts as a relay to deliver the received message to the called party.

Thereafter, the called terminal receives the message of the calling party via the communication system network (S12).

The destination terminal first checks whether the received message is a voice or a text (S13), and then outputs the voice through the output means (speaker) as the message is the voice (S15). On the other hand, if the received voice is a voice packet, the called terminal outputs the voice through the output means after depacketizing the received voice packet (S14). The receiving terminal checks whether the received message is received through the wireless packet data channel or the access channel (ACH) and / or the dedicated call channel (DTCH) because the receiving and receiving text messages are different from each other. It is obvious to see if the received message is voice or text.

If the received message is a text, the received text is controlled by the called terminal as follows.

The called terminal receives the message of the calling terminal via the communication system network.

The called terminal checks whether the received message is voice or text. At this time, if the received message is a text message, the called terminal is a message transmitted from a user who is currently playing the same multimedia game with the user (called user) or a short message service (SMS) supported by the mobile communication network. check whether the message is a short message (S16).

In the case of the former (text message of a user playing a multimedia game), the called terminal outputs the received text message through a display means (S17). That is, the received text message is displayed on the game screen where the game is currently in progress.

On the other hand, when the latter is not the message of the user who enjoys the same multimedia game as the short message by the short message service, the called terminal stores the received short message in the message storage box (S18).
In the above, since the receiving terminal has a different channel type depending on whether the received message is voice or text, it is easy to check whether the received message is voice or text.

Through the above procedure, while receiving a multimedia game through a communication system network, voice / text transmission and reception between the calling party and the called party users is simultaneously provided, thereby providing an SVD service.

On the other hand, when the voice message is converted to text and sent to another user, the called party is playing a multimedia game, and thus the game in progress is continuously displayed on the display means for receiving the received text message.

For this purpose, we use a structure for sharing messages between a user interface that presents a message and a user interface that presents a game. For example, the received text message may be displayed on some screen portions of the display means on which the game in progress is output.

Thus, when a message is received, there is no inconvenience in checking the message archive, a tool separate from the tool for executing a multimedia game, to check the message.

In addition, in the present invention, the communication system network side sends the identification numbers of the corresponding user terminals to each user terminal to share each other's identification numbers (for example, International Mobile Subscriber Identifier) among users who have received the same multimedia game. to provide.

Accordingly, the called terminal stores the terminal identification number (e.g. IMSI) of users who are currently playing the same multimedia game with themselves (the called user), and the message received from the stored information is presently present (the called user). And whether the message is sent from a user who is playing the same multimedia game.

When the voice message service providing method is used in the multimedia game according to the present invention, it is easy to secure a customer of the multimedia game service in the mobile communication network.

In particular, it provides a multimedia game service to the mobile communication terminal and at the same time provides a communication service (by voice or text) between users who enjoy the game, thereby meeting the expectations of the users.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the detailed description of the specification but should be defined by the claims.
