The present invention relates to a method and system for providing a call service through a service control system and a media system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a voice / video message which is registered in advance by a user or temporarily receives an incoming call / video message. The present invention relates to a method and a system for transmitting an audio / video message to a called terminal together with a registered caller indication content.

In general, the caller ID service is a caller ID service when the called party requests a caller ID service through a mobile carrier to which the subscriber has subscribed. The caller ID for the incoming call is displayed on the LCD screen of the called terminal. To display.

However, the conventional caller display service does not have a method in which a user can verify the caller information without directly checking the caller information displayed on the liquid crystal of the terminal.

In addition, the conventional caller ID service may not provide accurate caller information because it simply displays registered caller information regardless of who the actual user is, according to subscriber information of the calling terminal.

In addition, a user of a terminal provided with a conventional caller ID service may use a phone number as a caller information. For example, when a friend of a friend changes a phone number and calls a new number, only the phone number is displayed as a caller information. Since there is no way to check the phone number, if the unknown phone number is displayed, it may be mistaken for a wrong call, and thus it may not be an important phone call.

Meanwhile, another example of a conventional caller ID service method is an MCID service in which a multimedia caller ID (MCID) content provided by a content provider (CP) is provided to a called terminal. Contents of the MCID service may be produced by an individual or may be registered by the user by selecting a standardized content provided by a content provider (CP).

However, the conventional MICD service method may select MCID contents provided by the CP, but the user may not arbitrarily change the selected MCID contents to suit his or her taste. That is, in the conventional MICD service method, only the previously registered content is transmitted until the user changes the content once registered, whether in the personal production form or the CP provision form, to other content, so that the service user transmits the content to the called party. There is a hassle of having to register a change in advance.

The present invention has been made to improve the prior art as described above, and a method and system for providing a voice / video message and caller indication content to a called terminal when a call is made by interworking a service control system and a media processing system with a switch.

In case of one-time call service, it is targeted to a specific called party, so the information of the called party is saved as a temporary profile. In the case of one-time use, the service profile manager needs to record the number of the called terminal, and although the voice / video message registered by the user is used, other contents may be written once.

The voice / video message separator is for distinguishing the actual voice / video message content file in the service system. The voice / video message separator may be a combination of English and numbers. The voice / video message corresponding to the actual file is a message registered before the call is made by the user and set to be identical to all called parties or registered by the user for one-time use when sending to a specific called party. The voice / video message is a message that a user wants to send to the called party by using his or her own voice or video, or the sender wants to send the called party to interest. The voice / video message is output to the called terminal together with the caller indication content. . The voice / video message may be generated as the voice / video data input from the user of the calling terminal is stored through a predetermined web page provided by the media processing system.
