The present invention relates to a service system and method for establishing a star-linked ring back tone, and more specifically, when a star designated by a service subscriber changes the ring back tone, the ring back tone of the corresponding service subscriber is also set to the ring back tone changed by the star. The present invention relates to a system and method for establishing a star link ring tone service for providing differentiated services to subscribers having homogenous needs.

A ring back tone service is a service for transmitting a sound source designated by a called party to a caller who is waiting for a call, and a CRBT (Customized Ring Back Tone) system for providing a ring back tone service is provided as shown in FIG. 1. (1) a base station / base station controller (BTS / BSC) that performs wireless section communication with (1), an exchange (MSC) 3 connected with the base station controller, a home location register (HLR) that manages subscriber location information and additional service information. And a sound source reproducing apparatus (CRBT IP) 5 connected to the switchboard 3 of the mobile communication network including 4) and having a sound source DB and the sound source reproducing apparatus 5 to manage subscriber ring tone setting information. It is composed of a ring back tone service server (CRBT server) 6.

2 shows a ring tone service process in the CRBT system.

As shown, when the calling terminal sends a call to the called terminal subscribed to the ring back tone service (S1), when the exchange requests subscriber information (location information and additional service information) of the called terminal to the home location register (S2). ), The home location register returns service subscription information indicating that the called party is a subscriber to the ringer service (S3).

Accordingly, the exchange requests the playback of the sound source to the sound source playback device instead of transmitting the basic ringback tone to the calling terminal during the process of connecting the call to the called terminal (S4), and the sound source playback device corresponds to the call back tone service server. Acquire the sound source code for the call ring tone of the called party (S5, S6), and plays the ring tone for the sound source code to the calling terminal until the called party receives the call (S7).

Checking whether or not the ring tone of the star is changed, the star ring tone change alarm unit 113 periodically extracts the sound source code information of the star from the sound source code information stored in the call connection sound database 114, the sound source code information at the previous confirmation And the call connection tone setting unit 111 determines whether the subscriber's mobile phone number is a number stored in the star MDN database 115 when the call connection tone of the subscriber is changed. , According to the result can be made by providing the change information to the star ring tone change alarm unit 113.

On the other hand, the star interlocking ring tone setting service of the present invention basically by the star interlocking service system 300 requests a call ring tone change of each service subscriber to the ring tone service server 110, the ring tone service server 110 Instead of changing the ring back tone of each subscriber or changing the ring back tone of each subscriber for service efficiency when the number of service subscribers who designate a specific star is very large, the ring back tone service server 110 changes the subscriber's mobile phone number and star. By mapping mobile phone numbers, it is also possible to provide corresponding ring back tone without changing the sound source code.

This, the star MDN management unit 112 receives the mobile phone number information of the service subscriber and the mobile phone number (MDN; Mobile Directory Number) information of the star designated by the service subscriber from the star interlocking service system 300 to receive the star MDN database 115. And, the call connection tone setting unit 111 receives the mobile phone number of the call connection tone service subscriber from the sound source playback device 120, with reference to the call back tone database 114 star MDN database 115, receive It is possible by identifying the mobile phone number of the star mapped to the service subscriber mobile phone number and returning the sound source code information mapped to the identified mobile phone number to the sound source reproducing apparatus 120.

At this time, the ringback tone database 114 may store a specific code indicating that the subscriber uses the ringback tone of the star as a sound source code of the star linkage ringtone setting service subscriber, the ringtone setting unit 111 is a ringtone tone database (114) and if the subscriber's sound code is a specific code indicating that the subscriber uses the ringback tone of the star, the star MDN database 115 acquires the mobile phone number of the star designated by the subscriber, and the mobile phone of the star The sound source code stored for the number may be obtained from the call connection sound database 114 and transferred to the sound source reproducing apparatus 120.

When the service is implemented in this way, the star interlocking service system 300, when the service subscriber designates a specific star, instead of performing the ring back tone change request for each subscriber to the ring back tone service server 110, the mobile phone of the service subscriber The number and the mobile phone number of the star designated by the subscriber may be provided to the ring back tone service server 110.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the star linkage service system 300 includes a star subscription information management unit 310, a service subscription information management unit 320, a change target extraction unit 330, a change determination unit 340, and a change. It is configured to include a processing unit 350, the charging processing unit 360, the settlement unit 370.

Star subscription information management unit 310 stores and manages the mobile phone number information of the star in the star database 311, and receives the star mobile phone number information of the star database to the CRBT system 100 to receive the ring tone information of the star. to provide.

The service subscription information management unit 320 maps the mobile phone number information of the subscriber linked call connection tone setting service subscriber and the star information designated by the subscriber, and stores and manages them in the service subscriber database 321, and the service providing environment is different according to the plan. In this case, the service plan designated by each service subscriber is additionally managed.

When the change target extraction unit 330 receives the mobile phone number information of the specific star and the call ring tone information of the star from the CRBT system 100, and extracts the mobile phone number of the subscriber designating the star, and the extracted mobile phone number, The call connection tone information of the star is provided to the change determining unit 340 or the change processing unit 350.

In this case, the change determination unit 340 or the change processing unit 350 may provide a change processing after confirming the intention of the subscriber and a case where the change is automatically performed without the confirmation of the subscriber. .

For example, the rate plan charges a monthly service fee and automatically changes to a flat rate plan that automatically changes without the subscriber's confirmation, and charges a monthly service fee, limiting the number of monthly changes to a certain number of times, and confirming the subscriber's intention when changing. There may be a flat rate limit plan, a pay-as-you-go rate plan, and a pay-as-you-go plan to check and change the subscriber's intention. At this time, in the case of a flat rate automatic change plan, you can request a change to the direct change processing unit 350, but in the case of other plans, you should request the change determination unit 340 to confirm the intention of the subscriber.

At this time, when the change target extraction unit 330 changes the information transmission destination to the change determination unit 340 or the change processing unit 350 according to the plan, the change target extraction unit 330 and the change determination unit 340. Since it is necessary to double check the rate plan, the change target extraction unit 330 preferably transmits information to the change determination unit 340 irrespective of the rate plan.

Therefore, the change determination unit 340 refers to the service subscriber database 321, if the plan of the subscriber is the automatic change plan, the corresponding to the change processing unit 350 without confirming the subscriber's intention to change the ring tone Sends the mobile phone number of the subscriber and the ring tone information of the star designated by the subscriber to request the ring tone change processing, and if the plan requires the subscriber's intention, transmits a message including the star ring tone information to the subscriber's mobile phone, When the response for changing the ring tone is received, the mobile phone number of the subscriber and the call ring tone information of the star designated by the subscriber are transmitted to the change processor 350 to request the ring tone change processing.

At this time, the change whether determiner 340 is a plan that the subscriber's rate plan is the number of changes to the ring-tone connection is a certain number of times, by comparing the number of changes and the number of ring-tone ringtones of the subscriber whether the remaining number of changes If it is determined whether there is a remaining change number, it is preferable to transmit a message including the ring tone information and the remaining change number information of the star to the subscriber mobile phone.

In addition, the change determination unit 340 preferably transmits a message including the call ring tone information and the fee guide information of the star to the subscriber's mobile phone when the subscriber's rate plan is a pay-as-you-go plan.

The change processing unit 350 transmits the mobile phone number of the subscriber received from the change determining unit 340 and the call connection tone information (voice code) of the star designated by the subscriber to the CRBT system 100 to change the ring tone. Request and store and manage the ring back tone change processing information of the service subscriber in the service usage information database 351 for service usage statistics and settlement, billing, and the like.

On the other hand, even if the change of the ring back tone is automatically handled, it will be desirable to inform the subscriber of the change of the ring back tone, accordingly, the change processing unit 350 includes the ring back tone information that is changed during the ring tone change processing; The message may be transmitted to the mobile phone of the subscriber, and it is preferable to transmit the message after receiving the information that the change is normally completed from the RBT service server 110.

The billing processing unit 360 is a block that performs billing processing for the ring back tone change with reference to the service usage information database 351. In order to allow the service usage fee of the present invention to be added to the mobile phone bill, it is usually performed on a monthly basis. The billing system of the mobile carrier sets the usage fee for each subscriber according to the service subscriber's plan information and provides billing information accordingly.

For example, the billing processing unit 360 sets a fee according to the plan in the case of a subscription automatic change subscriber, and in the case of a subscriber who limits the number of subscriptions, the fee is set in consideration of the case of exceeding the limit. In the case of a pay-as-you-go subscriber, you can set a fee based on the number of times (changes) of the month.

The settlement unit 370 periodically processes (eg, monthly) statistics on the exposure level of the ring-tone tones for each star by referring to the information stored in the service usage information database 351, and according to the statistical processing result, each star (or entertainment) The settlement process between the planning agency) and the star interlocking service system 300 is performed according to a predetermined settlement rate.

Here, the degree of exposure of the ring-tone ringtone for each star means the number of changes made to the ring-tone ringtone of the corresponding star for each star, and the degree of exposure is large. Less exposure will result in less exposure.

Next, the star-linked ring back tone setting service method of the present invention will be described in sequence according to the subscriber's rate plan through FIGS. 7 to 9 as follows.

First, FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a process of setting a star linkage ring tone for a subscription auto-changing subscriber according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, in order to implement the service of the present invention, the CRBT system must first have a star MDN (mobile phone number) (S701), and the star interlocking service system includes the MDN of the star and the subscriber's MDN, that is, the subscriber's MDN. The subscriber should manage the mapping information of the MDN of the star designated (S701 ').

Thereafter, when the CRBT system recognizes that the call connection sound of a specific star has been changed (S703), the CRBT system transmits change information including the mobile phone number and changed sound source information of the star to the star linkage service system (S705). .

According to the received change information, the star linkage service system extracts the mobile phone number of the subscriber designating the star whose call connection tone is changed (S707). And change request information including sound source information included in the change information to the CRBT system to request a change in the call connection tone of the service subscriber (S711).

Accordingly, the CRBT system automatically changes the ring back tone of the subscriber according to the received change request information (S713), and returns a predetermined Ack message indicating that the change is completed to the star linkage service system (S715).

Thereafter, the star interlocking service system preferably notifies the subscriber terminal of the change to the subscriber station using SMS (S717), and stores the service use information in a database for charging and settlement (S719) and uses the stored information. The degree of exposure of the ring back tone for each star for a certain period of time is statistically processed so that settlement processing can be performed between each star and the star linkage service system according to the statistical processing result.

Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a process of setting a star-linked ring back tone service of a subscriber with a subscription limit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The processing process according to the rate plan differs only from the process of extracting the subscriber's MDN from the star linkage service system to requesting the change to the CRBT system.

As in FIG. 7, the CRBT system must have a star MDN (mobile phone number) (S801), and the star linkage service system manages MDN information of the star and subscribers of each star (S801 ').
