However, for convenience of description, descriptions of other components are omitted.

MS o / t (105a, 105b) is a mobile communication terminal, such as wired and wireless phones, cellular phones, PCS phones, etc. capable of voice communication, next-generation mobile communication terminals such as IMT-2000, UMTS, personal digital assistant (PDA), WAP (WAP) ) It can be a terminal, etc., and data communication is possible regardless of the kind.

MSC o / t (110a, 110b) is a device for processing the incoming / outgoing signal from each mobile phone base station (not shown), and adjusts the mobile phone base station (not shown).

The HLR 120 is a database management system for storing and managing subscriber parameters or location information of MSC o / t 110a and 110b for all mobile communication terminals registered in its own area. It manages important data such as basic service and additional service and performs route processing of called subscriber. In addition, the HLR 120 manages the CLRT automatic access field for each subscriber, and if the subscriber requests the CLRT activation, the characteristic code for activating and deactivating the CLRT automatic access function ( It also controls the feature code. In addition, when the subscriber attempts to set up a call to activate the sound effect service (CLRT), the HLR 120 obtains routing information to the sound effect providing server 140 and transmits the routing number to the MSCo 110a.

The TIIS G / W 130 interworks with the HLR 120 and the BSR 150 through TCP / IP, and provides a function of directly controlling a service to a subscriber through the wired / wireless Internet.

The BSR 150 is a device for storing information about the calling subscriber and the called member of the effect sound service (CLRT). The BSR 150 is connected to the Central Data System (CDS) interface from the Customer Oriented Information System (COIS) for the automatic connection of the effect sound service (CLRT), so that the origination subscriber can call for the automatic connection of the effect sound service (CLRT).

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for automatically connecting sound effects according to an embodiment of the present invention.

For the present invention, at least one user of the mobile communication terminal may apply for a sound effect service (CLRT) in advance and register as an outgoing subscriber of the sound effect service (CLRT), and designate at least one called number as a called member. have.

When the calling subscriber of the sound effect service (CLRT) wants to perform a call using the sound effect service (CLRT), the MSCo 110a requests the location registration to the HLR 120 as the calling subscriber attempts to make a call. (Registration Notification [MIN]) (S201). When requesting a location registration in step S201, the HLR 120 activates the effect sound service (CLRT) automatic access function if the caller ID transmitted from the MSCo 110a is the subscriber call number of the effect sound service (CLRT) automatic access function. If the caller is not a subscriber to the effect sound service (CLRT) automatic access function, the effect sound service (CLRT) automatic access function is deactivated.

When the effect sound service (CLRT) automatic connection function is activated, the HLR 120 transmits to the MSCo 110a that the trigger type of the additional service is the effect sound service (CLRT) automatic access function and the MSCo 110a. ) Stores it (Registration Notification RR [ORIGTRG = K_DIGIT]) (S203).

As such, when a subscriber of the effect sound service (CLRT) automatic access function attempts to make a call after the sound effect service (CLRT) is activated, the MSCo transmits a call request message to the HLR 120 (Origination Request [Digits (Dialed)). , CPND]) (S205).

The HLR 120 receiving the call request message through the MSCo 110a confirms that the call is activated by the subscriber to which the effect sound service (CLRT) automatic access function is activated, and sends the service request message through the TIIS G / W 130 (S207). It transmits to the BSR 150 of the sound effect providing server 140 (Service Request [Digits (Dialed), CPND, SVCID = CLRT_ACON]) (S209). At this time, it notifies that the calling number, the called number, and the call establishment attempt of the subscriber to the effect sound service (CLRT). However, when the effect sound service (CLRT) automatic access function is deactivated, the HLR 120 performs the general call processing procedure without performing the effect sound service (CLRT) automatic access function.

The BSR 150 of the sound effect providing server 140 has a calling number (CPND) included in the service request message of the HLR 120, and is a calling number of a subscriber to the effect sound service (CLRT) automatic access function, and a called number (Digits (Dialed)). If) is designated as a called member, a service request response message is transmitted to TIIS G / W 150 to provide a CLRT automatic connection function (Service Request RR [ActionCode = Continue Processing, Return Result = OK]). (S211). However, if the caller is not a subscriber to the CLRT automatic access function or if the called number (Digits (Dialed)) is not designated as the called member, the service request response message is performed so that the general call processing is performed instead of the CLRT. (Service Request RR [ActionCode = Continue Processing, Return Result = NOK]).

When the HLR 120 receives the service request response message from the TIIS G / W 150 (Service Request RR [ActionCode = Continue Processing, Return Result = OK]) (S213), the server 140 provides the effect sound to the outgoing request response message. Including routing information and called number (Digits (Dialed)) for connection to BMS 145 of the transmission), it is sent to MSCo 110a (Service Request RR [ActionCode = Continue Processing, Return Result = OK, CLRT RoutingNumber + DGTDIAL]). ]) (S215). However, if a message is received from TIIS G / W indicating that the caller is not a CLRT subscriber or the called number is not designated as a called member (Service Request RR [ActionCode = Continue Processing, Return Result = NOK]). ), And transmits the outgoing request response message including only the called number (Digits (Dialed)) to the MSCo 110a, except for the route information to the BMS 145 so that the general call processing is performed instead of the sound effect service (CLRT) (Service Request). RR [ActionCode = Continue Processing, Return Result = NOK, DGTDIAL]).

The MSCo 110a sets up a call to the BMS 145 of the sound effect providing server 140 using the path information received from the HLR 120 (ISUP_IAM / ACM) (S217). At this time, the MSCo 110a transmits the called number to the BMS 145 of the effect sound providing server 140.

Accordingly, the BMS 145 of the effect sound providing server 140 prepares to drive the effect sound service (CLRT), transmits the called number to the CGS 160, and sets up a call (S219).

The CGS 160 obtains the route information to the MSCt 110b using the received called number Digits (Dialed), and then the MSCt 110b transmits a paging signal to the MSt 105b to the MSCt 110b. A call is set (S221).

When the called party answers, a response is sent from MSt 105b to MSCt 110b, and an ISUP (ISDN User Part) response is sent from MSCt 110b to CGS 160 to BMS 145. . The BMS 145 of the sound effect providing server 140 drives the sound effect service (CLRT) and relays the ISUP response to the MSCo 110a, so that the MSCo (110a) ↔BMS (145) ↔CGS (160) ↔MSCt (110b) The call is set to (S223). However, in step S217, the BMS 145 of the sound effect providing server 140 transmits IDN (ISDN User Part) _REL when the route information transmitted from the MSCo 110a does not match its route information.

Accordingly, when the automatic effect sound service (CLRT) connection function is activated, when the calling subscriber makes a call to the called party number designated as the called member, the effect sound service (CLRT) automatic connection function is performed and the predetermined sound effect is automatically assigned to the voice message. Are mixed.

As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features thereof.
