The called subscriber connects to the web server 130 through wired Internet, wireless Internet, or ARS, and the like, such as a terminal number 160 or a subscriber information, etc., for tracking the location of the ring-tone replacement service proposed by the present invention. When the recipient terminal 160 information is input (200), the web server 130 is connected to each mobile communication subscriber existing in the home location register or the web server 130 of the mobile communication network to which the destination terminal 160 is connected. Check the validity of the location-based ring-tone replacement service for the destination terminal 160 through the information.

Validation of the location-based ring-tone replacement service is that the called terminal 160 inputted by the called subscriber checks whether the location tracking service for providing the location-based ring-tone replacement service is possible through the method proposed by the present invention. The wireless location server 145 tracks the location of the called terminal 160 to check whether the ring tone providing server (or device) 100 is possible.

For example, the called party's wireless location server 145 is a network-based wireless location method for tracking the location of a terminal using a pilot signal used in a mobile communication network as described above, and a handset-based that embeds a GPS chipset inside the terminal. A location-based call that tracks the location of the called terminal 160 through at least one wireless positioning method among all types of wireless positioning, including a wireless positioning method and the like. It should be possible to transmit to the RBT providing server (or device) 100 periodically before starting the RBT replacement service or at the same time as the RBT replacement service is started.

If the web server 130 does not confirm the validity of the information on the called terminal 160 input by the called subscriber as described above (205), the web server 130 inputs the called terminal 160 information valid to the called subscriber. Ask.

On the other hand, if the web server 130 confirms the validity of the location-based ring-tone replacement service proposed by the present invention with respect to the called terminal 160 inputted by the called subscriber, the called subscriber may call the called terminal through the web server 130. The location-based RBT extracting information including location setting coordinates and logical location information is input to the location of the location 160.

According to the present invention, the location setting coordinates and the logical location information for the location of the called terminal 160 correspond to one-to-one, and the receiving subscriber inputs location-based RBT extraction information about the location of the called terminal 160. Inputs a method of allowing the web server 130 to inquire directly to the called terminal 160, inputs member information of the called terminal 160 pre-registered in the web server 130, and inputs location setting coordinates. And a method of inputting logical location information, and a method of inputting logical location information and inputting positioning coordinates.

Among the methods of inputting location-based RBT extraction information on the location of the called terminal 160, the web server 130 may directly input the contact terminal 160 by inputting the location-based RBT extraction information. And there is an effect that can perform the process of obtaining the approval of the receiving terminal 160 at the same time. That is, when the called subscriber inputs the location name of the logical location information on the location of the called terminal 160, the web server 130 inquires the address of the logical location information, etc., to the called terminal 160, and the web server 130 automatically extracts the positioning coordinates through the inquired address as described above. At this time, the positioning coordinates extracted by the web server 130 based on the address where the called terminal 160 is to be located are two-dimensional coordinate values, the second plane coordinate values consisting of the upper left and lower right corners, or the reference coordinate points and the radius. It is set to the circle or ellipse coordinate value of the made secondary plane.

Among the methods of inputting location-based RBT extraction information on the location of the called terminal 160, the method of inputting member information of the called terminal 160 registered in the web server 130 may be performed by the called terminal 160. This is valid when the server 130 is already registered as a member. According to the present invention, the web server 130 may input a series of logical location information, such as 'home', 'company', 'contractor', or 'frequent visit' of the member during the member registration process. . Therefore, if the called terminal 160 is already registered as a member of the web server 130, the called subscriber uses the member information of the called terminal 160 to provide the positioning coordinates and the logical position information of the called terminal 160. You can enter

Among the methods of inputting location-based RBT extraction information on the location of the called terminal 160, a method of inputting location setting coordinates and inputting logical location information may be performed using a geographical information system (GIS). This is effective when inputting location-based RBT extraction information of 160. As described above, the positioning coordinates are two-dimensional coordinates of the area where the called terminal 160 is to be located, and are in the form of two-dimensional coordinates consisting of coordinates of the upper left and lower right, or of two-dimensional coordinates consisting of reference coordinates and a radius. Take form. However, it is not easy for the called party to input coordinate values on the two-dimensional coordinate plane where the called terminal 160 is to be located. Accordingly, the present invention allows the called subscriber to select a rectangular area of the secondary plane consisting of the upper left and the lower right, or the reference coordinate point and radius, on the electronic map produced through the GIS to easily input the positioning coordinates. By selecting the circle or ellipse area of the secondary plane to automatically input the positioning coordinates of the terminating terminal 160. Location-based ring back tone extraction information is input by inputting a set of logical location information, such as 'home', 'company', 'contractor', or 'frequently visited', to the location setting coordinates input as described above. .

Among the methods of inputting location-based RBT extraction information on the location of the called terminal 160, the method of inputting logical location information and inputting location setting coordinates recognizes an address of a location of the called terminal 160. It is effective if there is. When the called subscriber inputs an address corresponding to a location where the called terminal 160 is to be located, the web server 130 automatically extracts positioning coordinates including the address. At this time, the positioning coordinates extracted by the web server 130 based on the address where the destination terminal 160 is to be located are two-dimensional coordinate values, which are secondary plane coordinate values consisting of an upper left and a lower right, or a reference coordinate point and a radius. It is set to the circle or ellipse coordinate value of the secondary plane.

According to the present invention, the web server 130 inputs the location-based RBT extraction information for the called terminal 160 through at least one of the above-described method of inputting the location-based RBT extraction information.

When the called party inputs the location-based RBT extraction information of the called terminal 160 through the above method, the called subscriber includes the type of the RBT corresponding to the location-based RBT extraction information of the called terminal 160.

According to the present invention, the RBT information is provided by the RBT control server 105 of the RBT providing server (or device) 100 through the location-based RBT extraction information of the called terminal 160. ) Is used to generate a ring back tone extracting code for extracting the ring back tone from the ring back tone D / B 125, which is the ring back tone D / B 125 of the ring back tone providing server (or device) 100. Or a ring back tone that is previously stored in the call, or is directly input by the called party through the web server 130.

As described above, the determination of the location-based call ring tone extraction information of the called terminal 160 and the corresponding call ring tone is repeated until all positions of the called terminal 160 desired by the called subscriber are applied (220). .

If the called subscriber determines both the location-based RBT extraction information of the called terminal 160 and the corresponding RBT, the web server 130 determines the location-based call of the called terminal 160 set by the called subscriber. The connection sound extraction information and the call connection sound information are stored in the location information D / B 110 of the call connection sound providing server (or device) 100 through the gateway (230).

When the approved location-based RBT extraction information and RBT information are stored in the D / B 110 of the RBT providing server (or device) 100 as described above, the web server 130 may call the location-based call. Location-based ring tone replacement service information (or ring tone setting information) including the calling terminal 155 information, the called terminal 160 information, the ring tone setting information, the ring tone routing information, and the like identified during the input of the ring tone extraction information; It generates and the like to store in the subscriber D / B 115 of the call connection sound providing server (or device) 100 to register or update (235).

3 shows the location-based ring back tone replacement service information (or ring back tone setting information) transmitted from the subscriber D / B 115 of the mobile communication system and the content provider while the originating terminal 155 starts the mobile communication service. A simple flow diagram of the steps of setting up to the subscriber D / B 115 of the exchange 135.

When power is supplied to the calling terminal 155 and the mobile communication service is started (300), the calling terminal 155 displays the system setting detail state, the pilot channel acquisition detail state, the synchronization channel acquisition detail state, and the timing conversion detail state. It communicates with a base station, a control station, an exchange, etc. in order, and registers with a home location register.

Location-based ring back tone replacement service information (or ring back tone) including the ring back tone setting information and the ring back tone routing information stored in the subscriber D / B 115 of the ring back tone providing server (or device) 100 in the above process. Setting information) is transmitted to the home location register of the calling terminal 155 (305). The ring tone setting information includes information for determining whether to provide a location-based ring tone replacement service provided by the present invention, call ring tone routing information for providing a ring tone to replace the ring tone for the calling terminal 155, and the like. It is.

When the location-based call ring tone replacement service information (or call connection tone setting information) is transmitted to the home location register, the home location register transmits the location-based call ring tone replacement service information (or call connection tone setting information) in the home location register. Stored in the subscriber D / B 115 (310), and sets the destination terminal 160 location-based ring back tone replacement service provided by the present invention to the originating terminal 155 profile of the home location register (315). The home location register transmits the location-based ring back tone replacement service information (or the ring back tone setting information) to the originating exchange 135 and stores 320.

When the location-based ring back tone replacement service information (or the ring back tone setting information) is stored in the originating exchange 135 through the above process, the outgoing exchange 135 is called terminal 160 to the called party's wireless location server 145. Request location tracking 325.

4 shows a server (or device) for providing a ring back tone before the location-based ring back tone replacement service by the receiver side wireless positioning server 145 extracting the position information on the position movement of the called terminal 160 during the movement of the called terminal 160. It is a simple flow diagram for the step of delivering periodically to 100 or at the same time as the service start.

When the calling terminal 155 is connected to the mobile communication network (400), the called party's wireless positioning server 145 uses a cell ID based wireless positioning method using the wireless terminal location information of the mobile communication base station, and a pilot signal used in the mobile communication network. Network based wireless positioning method for tracking the location of the terminal, and a handset based wireless positioning method including a GPS chipset inside the terminal to track the location of the called terminal 160 through at least one wireless positioning. Extract and generate location coordinates for 405.

As described above, when the called party wireless location server 145 extracts and generates location coordinates of the called terminal 160, the called party wireless location server 145 extracts the generated location coordinates of the called terminal 160 and provides a ring back tone. A method of transferring to the server (or device) 100 is determined (410).

According to the present invention, a method of transmitting the location coordinates of the called terminal 160 to the call connection sound providing server (or device) 100 by the called party wireless location server 145 may include location-based call connection replacement service information (or call connection tone). Setting information).

If the called party's wireless location server 145 is configured to periodically transmit the location coordinates of the called terminal 160 to the RBT providing server (or device) 100 (415), the called party's wireless location server 145 420 transmits the location coordinates of the destination terminal 160 extracted to the current location of the destination terminal 160 to the call ring tone providing server (or device) 100 and the No. 7 network and the gateway (420). As described above, the location coordinates of the called terminal 160 which are periodically transmitted to the call connection sound providing server (or device) 100 are provided with a call connection sound during a call connection message from the calling terminal 155 to the called terminal 160. The server (or device) 100 is used as information for identifying the location of the current destination terminal 160.

On the other hand, if the called party's wireless positioning server 145 is not set to periodically transmit the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 160 to the RBT providing server (or device) 100 (425), the called terminal 160 positioning The coordinates are transmitted to the RBT providing server (or device) 100 in the process of transmitting the call connection message from the calling terminal 155 to the called terminal 160. Accordingly, the called party wireless location server 145 transmits a call connection tone providing server (or device) in the process of transferring a call connection message from the originating terminal 155 to the called terminal 160 by extracting the generated coordinates of the called terminal 160. In step 430, the receiver 100 stores the received information on the called party's wireless location server 145 and the destination exchange 140 so that they can be immediately delivered to the server 100.

If a call connection message is transmitted from the calling terminal 155 to the called terminal 160 while the called terminal 160 positioning coordinates are stored in the called wireless positioning server 145 and the called exchange 140 as described above. If this occurs (435), the called party wireless location server 145 and the destination exchange 140 is the location coordinates of the pre-stored destination terminal 160 to the No.7 network and the gateway to provide a ring back tone server (or device) 100 (440).

On the contrary, if the call connection message is not transmitted from the calling terminal 155 to the called terminal 160 while the called terminal 160 positioning coordinates are stored in the called wireless positioning server 145 and the called exchange 140 (445). The receiver wireless positioning server 145 performs a process of extracting and generating a new positioning coordinate by tracking the position of the receiver terminal 160.

When the location coordinates of the called terminal 160 are transferred to the call connection sound providing server (or device) 100, the called-side wireless positioning server 145 checks whether the called terminal 160 moves.

According to the present invention, the location movement of the called terminal 160 may be moved from the inside of the positioning coordinate area of the location-based RBT extraction information to the outside, from the outside of the positioning coordinates to the inside of the measurement coordinate area, and the like. It includes.

If the location of the called terminal 160 has moved (455), the called-side wireless positioning server 145 repeats the process of extracting and generating location coordinates by tracking the location of the called terminal 160.

On the other hand, if the location of the called terminal 160 has not moved (460), the called-side wireless positioning server 145 checks whether the called terminal 160 is disconnected from the mobile communication network through the called exchange 140 and terminated ( 465).

If the destination terminal 160 is connected without being terminated in the mobile communication network (470), the destination wireless positioning server 145 repeats the process of checking and tracking the location of the destination terminal 160.

On the other hand, if the terminating terminal 160 is terminated in the mobile communication network (475), the terminating side radio location server 145 terminates the location tracking for the terminating terminal 160 (480).

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a call back tone providing server based on location-based call back tone replacement service information (or ring back tone setting information) by a call exchanger 135 in a process in which the call terminal 155 requests call setup to the called terminal 160; Or device) provides a location-based ring back tone corresponding to the current location information of the called terminal 160 by replacing the ring back tone of the originating terminal 155 with the call back tone.

When the calling terminal 155 makes a call to the called terminal 160 to request call setup (500), the call connection message is transmitted from the calling terminal 155 to the calling exchange 135, and the calling exchange 135 transmits the call. Receives the existing ring back tone for the calling terminal 155 by checking the ring back tone setting information based on the location-based ring back tone replacement service information (or the ring back tone setting information) stored in the calling exchange 135 through the call connection message. It is checked whether the service is replaced with the call connection tone set by the subscriber (505).

If the calling exchange 135 cannot determine whether to replace the existing ringback tone with the ringback tone set by the called party through the ring back tone setting information (510), the outgoing exchange 135 is the calling terminal 155 to the called terminal (155). The 160 recognizes the incoming call and transmits the existing ring back tone until the call response message is delivered.

On the other hand, if the calling exchange 135 confirms that the ringback tone setting information is set to replace the existing ringback tone with the ringback tone set by the called subscriber (515), the outgoing exchange 135 is the location-based ringback replacement service information. (Or call connection tone setting information) request to send the call-back tone providing server (or device) 100 by replacing the location-based call ring tone proposed by the present invention with the call connection tone of the calling terminal 155 through the call ring tone routing information. (520).

The call connection tone transmission request for the alternate ring back tone is transmitted to the ring back tone providing server and the ring back tone control server 105 of the ring back tone providing server (or device) 100 through a gateway, and the ring back tone control server 105 is a subscriber. Position to the calling terminal 155 based on the location-based ring back tone replacement service information (or the ring back tone setting information) including the calling terminal 155 information and the called terminal 160 information stored in the D / B 115. The validity of the location-based RBT replacement service is checked through whether the RBT can be extracted and replaced with the RBT (525).

If the ring back tone control server 105 fails to confirm the validity of the location-based ring back tone replacement service (530), the ring back tone control server 105 is an existing subscriber set by the called terminal 160 to the calling terminal 155. The validity of the based ring back tone replacement service is checked (535).

If the subscriber-based ringback tone alternate ringtone set by the destination terminal 160 is set in the process of validating the subscriber-based ringback tone replacement service (540), the ringback tone control server 105 is the position suggested by the present invention. The subscriber-based RBT extraction code irrelevant to the RBT replacement service is generated and transmitted to the RBT providing server 120 (545).

On the other hand, even in the process of confirming the validity of the subscriber-based ring-tone replacement service in the process of not verifying the validity of the ring-tone replacement service (550), the ring-tone control server 105 in conjunction with the ring-back tone providing server 120 ring-tone Stopping the replacement service, the originating exchange 135 to send the existing ring back to the originating terminal 155.

On the other hand, if the RBT control server 105 confirms the validity of the location-based RBT replacement service (555), the RBT control server 105 is the current position of the called terminal 160 from the called party's radio location server 145 Extract the location coordinates for (560).

According to the present invention, the method of transmitting the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 160 to the RBT server 105 by the called party wireless location server 145 is periodically transmitted and simultaneously delivered with the start of the RBT replacement service. There is a way. If the called party wireless location server 145 periodically transmits the location coordinates of the called terminal 160 to the ring back tone control server 105, the ring back tone control server 105 receives the most recently received call terminal 160. The location coordinate of) is extracted as the location coordinate for the current position. On the other hand, if the called party wireless location server 145 delivers the location coordinates of the called terminal 160 at the same time as the ring-tone replacement service is started, the ring-tone control server 105 is the called party wireless location server 145 or the destination exchange ( The location coordinates of the most recent destination terminal 160 stored in 140 are extracted.

As described above, when the location coordinates of the current location of the called terminal 160 are extracted, the ring back tone control server 105 checks whether there are positioning coordinates including the location coordinates of the current location of the called terminal 160. (565).

According to the present invention, the positioning coordinates including the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 160 are present in the region designated by the called terminal 160, and the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 160 The method of checking whether the position exists in the positioning coordinate area is shown in FIG.

The positioning coordinates of the location-based RBT information may be a rectangular coordinate region consisting of a left-top and a right-bottom, or a circular circle consisting of a reference point and a radius. It is expressed as a coordinate area of (Circle / Ellipse).

For example, if the positioning coordinates are a rectangular coordinate area represented by the upper left and the lower right, the upper left coordinate is (x1, y1) and the lower right coordinate is (x2, y2) on the GIS map based on the northern hemisphere. And if the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 160 are (x, y), if x is greater than or equal to x1 and less than or equal to x2, and y is greater than or equal to y1 and less than or equal to y2, then the called terminal The positioning coordinates of 160 are included in the positioning coordinates.

Or, if the positioning coordinates are a circular or elliptical coordinate region represented by the reference coordinate point and the radius, the reference coordinate point is called (x1, y1) on the GIS map, and the coordinate region is the radius R from the reference coordinate point, and the incoming call is received. If the positioning coordinates of the terminal 160 is (x, y), if the distance L between the reference coordinate point (x1, y1) and the positioning coordinates (x, y) of the terminating terminal 160 is less than or equal to R, The positioning coordinates of the terminating terminal 160 are included in the positioning coordinates.

As described above, if the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 160 are included in the positioning coordinates, the RBT server 105 considers that the called terminal 160 exists at a position indicated by the logical position information corresponding to the positioning coordinates. do.

If the location coordinates of the called terminal 160 are included in the location setting coordinates (570), the RBT control server 105 provides the RBT server through the logical location information and the RBT information corresponding to the location setting coordinates (120). Generate a RBT extracting code for extracting the location-based RBT presented by the present invention in the RBT D / B 125 (575), and generating the RBT extracting code based on the RBT server; 120) (580).

On the other hand, if the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 160 are not included in the positioning coordinates but exist outside (585), the ringer tone control server 105 determines that the called subscriber has the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 160 in the set ring tone. When not included, generate the RBT extracting code for extracting the RBT or extracting the existing subscriber-based RBT that is not related to the current location of the called terminal 160 and calling the generated RBT extracting code. Deliver the connection sound to the server 120.

When the RBT extract code is transferred from the RBT control server 105 to the RBT providing server 120, the RBT providing server 120 receives the call from the RBT D / B 125 through the RBT extract code. The ring tone is extracted and replaced by the ring tone of the calling terminal 155 through the calling exchange 135 and sent (590).

As described above, the call connection sound transmitted by being replaced by the call connection sound of the calling terminal 155 is not changed until the called terminal 160 recognizes the incoming call and the call response message is delivered, or until the designated call connection sound effective transmission time runs out. Sent to (155) (595).

7 is a diagram illustrating a receiving subscriber (or receiving terminal) location based RBT storage medium configured by a receiving subscriber according to the present invention and a method of providing a receiving subscriber (or receiving terminal) location based RBT using the same through a WAP gateway; An embodiment of an implementation is also shown.

As interlocked, the base station transmits the location-based ring back tone data of the receiving terminal to the receiving terminal through a swap wireless communication method.

In addition, the receiver terminal location-based call ring tone data is transmitted from the call connection tone providing server to the receiving terminal in a swap-based wireless communication scheme, in which case the call ring tone data is compressed and transmitted to increase transmission efficiency.

When the calling subscriber receives the call connection tone signal from the exchange after requesting a call connection to the receiving terminal, the calling subscriber detects this and plays the location-based call connection tone previously stored in the receiving terminal, and when a call path between the calling party and the receiving party is formed. Play stops and calls are made normally.

In this case, the ring back tone signal provided from the exchange terminal is configured to extract the ring back tone corresponding to the current position of the receiver terminal preset by the receiving subscriber among the ring back tone stored in the receiving terminal. And location information of the receiving terminal provided from the wireless positioning server together with identification information of the.

In addition, in order to store and reproduce the receiver terminal location-based RBT data, the receiver terminal may include a memory area (or an IC chip area) that stores the receiver terminal location-based RBT data transmitted through the swap gateway, and a calling subscriber. When the user dials a predetermined number, the signal receiving unit receiving the RBT signal and the compressed data are released, and the RBT processing unit and the receiving subscriber regenerate the stored RBT data instead of the original machine tone RBT. And an extracting unit for extracting location information of the receiving terminal and an output unit for outputting the ringing tone data in order to extract the ring back tone corresponding to the current position of the set receiving terminal from the receiving terminal. do.

8 is a block diagram of a receiving terminal (or receiving terminal) location-based RBT set by a receiving subscriber according to the present invention in advance in the receiving subscriber terminal, and then configured to configure the receiving terminal for providing the receiving terminal location-based RBT data. (In addition to the swap gateway method shown in FIG. 7, the receiving terminal location-based ring back tone data is stored in the receiving terminal through a communication network.)

In the present embodiment, the step of setting and registering the ring back tone is the same as that described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, and the location-based ring back tone data stored in the location-based ring back tone providing server is transmitted to the receiving terminal. After storing in advance in the memory area (or IC chip area) of the terminal, when the calling subscriber receives the call connection tone signal from the exchange after requesting a call connection to the receiving terminal, the receiving terminal location-based call connection tone previously stored in the receiving terminal is detected. Is an embodiment of a configuration for reproducing the data.

In this case, the method of transmitting the location-based RBT data of the receiving terminal to the receiving terminal specifies that a communication network other than the swap gateway method shown in FIG. 7 may be used.

In addition, the receiving terminal location-based call ring tone data is transmitted from the call connection tone providing server to the receiving terminal, in this case, the call connection sound data is compressed and transmitted to increase the transmission efficiency.

Accordingly, the called party wireless location server 945 provides the RBT server (or apparatus) in the process of transferring the call connection message from the originating terminal 955 to the called terminal 960 by using the extracted coordinates of the called terminal 960 extracted from the originating terminal 955. In operation 1230, the receiver 300 stores the received information on the called party's wireless location server 945 and the destination exchanger 940 so as to be immediately transmitted to the 900.

If the destination terminal 960 positioning coordinates are stored in the destination wireless positioning server 945 and the destination exchange 940 as described above, a call connection message is transmitted from the originating terminal 955 to the destination terminal 960. When this occurs (1235), the destination wireless location server 945 and the destination exchange 940 is the coordinates of the No.7 network and the gateway to provide the ring back tone providing server (or apparatus) 900 (1240).

On the other hand, if a call connection message is not transmitted from the originating terminal 955 to the terminating terminal 960 while the terminating coordinates of the terminating terminal 960 are stored in the terminating wireless positioning server 945 and the terminating exchange 940 (1245). The receiver wireless positioning server 945 performs a process of extracting and generating new positioning coordinates by tracking the position of the receiver terminal 960.

When the location coordinates of the called terminal 960 are transferred to the call connection sound providing server (or device) 900, the called party wireless positioning server 945 checks whether the called terminal 960 moves (1250).

According to the present invention, the position movement of the called terminal 960 is moved from the inside of the positioning coordinate area of the location-based RBT extraction information to the outside, from the outside of the positioning coordinates into the measurement coordinate area, etc. It includes.

If the location of the called terminal 960 has moved (1255), the called-side wireless positioning server 945 repeats the process of extracting and generating positioning coordinates by tracking the position of the called terminal 960.

On the other hand, if the location of the called terminal 960 has not moved (1260), the called-side radio positioning server 945 checks whether the called terminal 960 is disconnected from the mobile communication network and terminated through the called exchanger 940 ( 1265).

If the terminating terminal 960 is connected without ending the connection in the mobile communication network (1270), the terminating side wireless positioning server 945 repeats the process of checking and tracking the position of the terminating terminal 960.

On the other hand, if the terminating terminal 960 is terminated in the mobile communication network (1275), the destination radio location server 945 terminates the location tracking for the terminating terminal 960 (1280).

FIG. 13 shows a server for providing a ring back tone based on location-based ring back tone replacement service information (or ring back tone setting information) by the destination exchanger 940 in a process in which the calling terminal 955 requests a call setup to the called terminal 960. Or device) provides a location-based ring back tone corresponding to the current location information of the called terminal 960 by replacing the ring back tone of the calling terminal 955 with the call.

When the calling terminal 955 makes a call to the called terminal 960 to request call setup (1300), a call connection message is transmitted from the calling terminal 955 to the called exchange 940, and the called exchange 940 transmits the call. Receives the existing ring back tone for the calling terminal 955 by checking the ring back tone setting information based on the location-based ring back tone replacement service information (or the ring back tone setting information) stored in the destination exchange 940 through the call connection message. In operation 1305, it is determined whether the service is replaced with the call connection tone set by the subscriber.

If the destination exchange 940 cannot determine whether to replace the existing ring back tone with the ring back tone set by the called party through the ring back tone setting information (1310), the destination exchange 940 is the calling terminal through the outgoing exchange 935. In 955, the called terminal 960 recognizes the incoming call and transmits the existing ring back tone until the call response message is delivered.

On the other hand, when the destination exchange 940 confirms that the ring back tone setting information is set to replace the existing ring back tone with the ring back tone set by the called subscriber (1315), the destination exchange 940 replaces the location-based ring back tone service information. (Or call connection tone setting information) to the call connection tone providing server (or device) 900 through the call connection sound routing information to replace the location-based call connection tone proposed by the present invention to the call connection tone of the calling terminal 955 Request 1320.

The call connection tone replacement call connection sound transmission request is transmitted to the call connection sound providing server 920 and the call connection sound control server 905 of the call connection sound providing server (or device) 900 through a gateway, and the call connection sound control server 905. ) Is based on the originating terminal 955 information stored in the subscriber D / B (915) and the location-based ring back tone replacement service information (or ring back tone setting information) including the destination terminal 960 information. In step 1325, the location-based RBT replacement service is validated based on whether the location-based RBT can be extracted and replaced by the RBT.

If the ring back tone control server 905 fails to check the validity of the location-based ring back tone replacement service (1330), the ring back tone control server 905 is the originating terminal 955 as the calling terminal 955. The validity of the based ring back tone replacement service is verified (1335).

If the subscriber-based RBT replacement call ring tone set by the called terminal 960 is set in the process of validating the subscriber-based RBT replacement service (1340), the RBT control server 905 is a position suggested by the present invention. The subscriber-based RBT extracting code irrelevant to the RBT replacement service is generated and transmitted to the RBT providing server 920 (1345).

On the other hand, even when the validity of the subscriber-based ring-tone replacement service is not confirmed even when the validity of the ring-tone replacement service (1350), the ring-tone control server 905 in conjunction with the ring-tone sound providing server 920 ring-tone Stopping the replacement service, the destination exchange 940 is to send the existing ring back to the originating terminal 955 through the originating exchange 935.

On the other hand, if the RBT control server 905 confirms the validity of the location-based RBT replacement service (1355), the RBT control server 905 is the current position of the called terminal 960 from the called party's wireless location server 945. Extract the location coordinates for.

According to the present invention, the method of transmitting the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 960 to the ring back tone control server 905 by the called party wireless positioning server 945 is periodically transmitted and delivered simultaneously with the start of the ring back tone replacement service. There is a way. If the called party's wireless location server 945 periodically transmits the location coordinates of the called terminal 960 to the ring back tone control server 905, the ring back tone control server 905 transmits the most recently received call terminal 960. The location coordinate of) is extracted as the location coordinate for the current position. On the other hand, if the called party's wireless location server 945 delivers the destination terminal 960 location coordinates at the same time as the ring-tone replacement service is started, the ring-tone control server 905 is the called party's wireless location server 945 or the destination exchange ( The most recent destination terminal device 960 stored in the coordinates 940 is extracted (1360).

As described above, when the positioning coordinates of the current location of the called terminal 960 are extracted, the ring back tone control server 905 checks whether there are positioning coordinates including the positioning coordinates of the current location of the called terminal 960. (1365).

According to the present invention, the positioning coordinates including the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 960 exist in the area designated by the called terminal 960, and the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 960 are A method of confirming whether the position exists in the positioning coordinate area is shown in FIG.

The positioning coordinates of the location-based RBT information may be a rectangular coordinate region consisting of a left-top and a right-bottom, or a circular circle consisting of a reference point and a radius. It is expressed as a coordinate area of (Circle / Ellipse).

For example, if the positioning coordinates are a rectangular coordinate area represented by the upper left and the lower right, the upper left coordinate is (x1, y1) and the lower right coordinate is (x2, y2) on the GIS map based on the northern hemisphere. And if the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 960 are (x, y), if x is greater than or equal to x1, less than or equal to x2, and y is greater than or equal to y1, and less than or equal to y2, then the called terminal The positioning coordinates of 960 are included in the positioning coordinates.

Or, if the positioning coordinates are a circular or elliptical coordinate region represented by the reference coordinate point and the radius, the reference coordinate point is called (x1, y1) on the GIS map, and the coordinate region is the radius R from the reference coordinate point, and the incoming call is received. If the positioning coordinates of the terminal 960 is (x, y), and if the distance L between the reference coordinate point (x1, y1) and the positioning coordinates (x, y) of the destination terminal 960 is less than or equal to R, The positioning coordinates of the terminating terminal 960 are included in the positioning coordinates.

If the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 960 are included in the positioning coordinates as described above, the ring back tone control server 905 considers that the called terminal 960 exists at a position indicated by the logical position information corresponding to the positioning coordinates. do.

If the location coordinates of the called terminal 960 are included in the location setting coordinates (1370), the RBT control server 905 provides the RBT server through the logical location information and the RBT information corresponding to the location setting coordinates. In the RBT D / B 925, generates a RBT extraction code capable of extracting the location-based RBT presented by the present invention (1375), and generates the RBT extracting code based on the RBT server. 920, 1380.

On the other hand, if the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 960 are not included in the positioning coordinates but exist outside (1385), the ringer tone control server 905 indicates that the called subscriber has the positioning coordinates of the called terminal 960 within the set connection ring tone. When not included, generate a RBT extracting code for extracting a RBT or an existing subscriber-based RBT not related to the current location of the called terminal 960 and extracting the RBT extracting code. The connection to the sound providing server 920 transfers (1345).

When the RBT extract code is transferred from the RBT control server 905 to the RBT providing server 920, the RBT providing server 920 receives the call from the RBT D / B 925 through the RBT extract code. The ring tone is extracted, and the called exchange 940 replaces the ring tone of the calling terminal 955 via the calling exchange 935 and sends the ring tone (1390).

As described above, the call connection tone transmitted by being replaced by the call connection tone of the calling terminal 955 is called until the called terminal 960 recognizes an incoming signal and delivers a call response message or until the designated call connection tone effective transmission time runs out. It is sent to 955 (1395).
