How to specify a ringtone for each mobile carrier by mobile carrier {DIFFERENT ALARM SOUND SETTING METHOD OF MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL FOR INDIVIDUAL TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICE PROVIDER}

1 is a screen example showing a conventional ringer setting process for each caller.

2 is a conceptual diagram showing a ring setting process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a method for designating a ringtone for each communication provider of a mobile communication terminal. In particular, when a call is provided from a specific communication service provider by analyzing an incoming signal of the mobile communication terminal, a ring tone set for each service provider sounds. The present invention relates to a ringtone designation method for each service provider.

As the use of mobile terminals has spread rapidly, the performance improvement of mobile terminals has been accelerated. The performance improvement of the mobile communication terminal was made to reflect the new user's demands such as the change of communication method or the generation and playback of multimedia contents, and the use of more memory or the use of a high performance controller to improve such performance. This was inevitably accompanied.                         

However, the most important function of the mobile terminal is by far the voice call function, and various incoming notification related functions have undergone various improvements. In other words, the function of providing the incoming call notification sound as multiple chords or accessing the content provider server through the wireless communication method and downloading the desired call sound sound has been generalized. Is also provided.

In addition, in the case of using the calling party number display service, the mobile communication terminal checks the calling party information provided by the base station when the incoming call is displayed on the screen, and changes the incoming call notification sound or the incoming call mode based on this. Is also being added.

1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a process of registering a specific caller number and a ringtone according to a conventional number. When a different phone number and a ringtone are registered for each caller using the above function, a call is received from the corresponding phone number. By performing the incoming call notification with the ringtone set in advance, it is a function that leads the user convenience by knowing who the call is from only the ringtone.

As shown, the caller is registered by using the caller ringtone setting menu (FIG. 1A) included in the ringtone selection menu (FIG. 1B), and the caller is designated through a process of specifying a ringtone to be used when a call is received from the caller (not shown). You will register a star ringtone.

Subsequently, when the incoming call is carried out, the incoming caller's phone number is checked and the incoming call is notified by using the registered ringtone if the corresponding phone number is a calling party number registered to use the ringer function for each caller.

However, since the prior art is to specify a ringtone to be used based on a specific caller, to specify a specific ringtone, you need to specify the caller's phone number one by one or in a group, and the number of callers is limited. The ringtone could not be assigned by classification.

As described above, the caller ringtone setting function of changing the ringtone according to the caller's information among the ringtone setting of the conventional mobile communication terminal allows the user to set a specific caller's telephone number and the corresponding ringtone, and to the caller information detected when the call is received. Because it analyzes the phone number included to generate the appropriate ringtone, the user has to set the caller ringtone by one person or group, and there is a limit to the number of caller ringtones. There was a problem that can not specify the ringtone by classification.

In view of the above problems, the present invention analyzes caller information included in an incoming signal when an incoming call is performed to obtain communication service provider information subscribed to by the caller, and uses a ring tone preset by the user according to the acquired communication service provider information. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of designating a ringtone for each carrier of a mobile communication terminal so that all callers can be classified into ringtones classified by carrier.

The present invention for achieving the above object, the step of analyzing the caller information included in the incoming signal when the call is received, the step of obtaining the communication provider information subscribed to the analyzed caller, the obtained communication And selecting a ringtone preset by the user according to the operator information, and performing a call notification using the selected ringtone.

Adding a ringtone setting menu for each operator to the ringtone setting menu, and providing a preset list of carriers when the user selects a ringtone setting menu for each operator; and selecting one of the ringtone lists previously stored in the terminal from the user. It characterized in that it comprises the step of designating a ringtone to be used for each communication provider.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a ringtone setting process for each operator according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, a ringtone setting item for each operator is further added to the ringtone setting screen (FIG. 2A), and the user sets the ringtone setting item for each operator. If you select, a list of carriers (FIG. 2b) is provided, and when a user selects a desired carrier from the list of carriers, a ringtone selection list specifying a ringtone to be used when a call is received from a caller subscribed to the carrier is provided. (FIG. 2C). If a desired ringtone is specified in the ringtone selection list, all incoming calls from callers subscribed to a specific communication service provider can check the incoming call through the ringtone selected by the user.

Therefore, if you specify different ringtones for some carriers existing in Korea, you can easily distinguish the call from the caller using the wired network (default ringtone) and the call (set ringtone) from the caller using specific (mobile) carriers. In addition, it is possible to guess by listening to only the ringtone which carrier is a caller subscribed to by a different ringtone for each carrier. Through this, the caller can roughly guess the caller, and because it does not know who the call is coming from, it is possible to obtain a variety of use of the ringtone to enjoy any of the ringtones specified by the user. In addition, even when a call comes from a caller who is not registered in his or her phonebook or is not registered separately, the ringer designation function can operate.

Looking at the internal operation of the mobile communication terminal to actually implement such a function, first, the above-described user interface is configured, and ring tone designation data for each service provider obtained through the interface is obtained and stored in a specific area.

Then, when the incoming call is carried out, if the ringtone designation function for each carrier is in operation, the caller information included in the incoming signal is analyzed to obtain information about the communication service provider. The caller information included in the incoming signal may use a method in which the base station provides the network operator information separately. In this case, even if the telephone number integrated with "010" is used, the unique number (01x) of the specific network operator may be obtained. have. However, for this purpose, the incoming signal format provided by the base station to the terminal should be modified, and the receiver program of the mobile communication terminal should be changed to receive the desired communication network operator information.                     

A simpler method is simply to determine the carrier using the first three digits of the calling party's telephone number. This can be used when the user uses the calling party number display service, and can change the separate communication data format by using the calling party number information obtained through the existing mobile terminal configuration configured to obtain the calling party number information provided at the incoming call. You do not need this. That is, the first three digits from the caller's telephone number obtained after the call are distinguished from the service provider and the ringer is searched using this information.

When the carrier information is acquired in the same manner as above, the ringer data set for the corresponding carrier is found from the stored ringtone data through the ringtone setting interface for each carrier to notify the incoming call. If the ringtone for a specific carrier is not set, the incoming call will be notified using the default ringtone. If the caller using the wired network does not follow the rules of "01x", the first three digits are stored through the ringtone setting interface for each carrier. You can't get the data you want from the ringtone data, and you'll be notified of the incoming call using the default ringtone.

As described above, the present invention can identify all the incoming calls that the user can receive using a specified ringtone by using a service provider-specific classification that can include all callers, so that the caller can be guessed, and the preferred ringtones set by the user You can enjoy random ringtones from among them, so you can enjoy listening to ringtones that can be boring.

As described above, in the method of designating a ringtone for each service provider of the present invention, when the incoming call is performed, the caller information included in the incoming signal is analyzed to obtain the service provider information subscribed to by the caller. Therefore, by letting the user perform an incoming call notification using a preset ringtone, not only the caller can be classified into ringtones classified by communication service providers but also random ringtones according to the caller are used. It is effective to enjoy various ringtones.
