Description

How to set key tone of mobile terminal {KEYTONE SETTING METHOD FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL}

1 is a screen example showing a key tone setting process of a conventional mobile communication terminal.

Figure 2 is a conceptual diagram showing a keytone setting method of an embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 3 is a conceptual diagram showing a keytone setting method of another embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a key tone setting method of a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a key tone setting method of a mobile communication terminal that allows the user to set the key tone with the recorded contents to create a unique environment.

In general, a mobile communication terminal includes a keypad containing numbers 0 to 9 and '#', '*' or other keys. When a user presses them, a specific key tone is generated to indicate whether a user input is correct. .

This key tone generation uses a means for generating a tone according to a simple frequency initially, and by assigning different frequencies to each key, different key tones are generated according to a key pressed by the user, and the number and location of the user's own key input. Help me know.

Recently, the audio reproduction means and the audio file of the mobile terminal are in charge of the key tone so that various sounds such as the stored electronic sound, the voice of the person reading the number, the sound of nature, the artificial sound, etc. are mapped to each key of the keypad. When the user presses a predetermined key, the unique sound assigned to each key is reproduced.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a process of setting a key tone, that is, a button sound by a conventional user. When a button sound (ie, key tone) selection menu is designated in the effect sound selection menu as shown in FIG. 1A, FIG. Various effect sounds that can be set are provided in a list.

The user selects the various effect sounds provided in FIG. 1B and receives various sounds according to the key input so that the user can audibly confirm his / her key input.

However, the various sound effects provided by the mobile terminal have a problem that users who value individuality are bored because only fixed sound effects already provided by the manufacturer can be selected. In particular, the ringtone can be updated with new contents through various paths, but since the button sound is a short sound effect, a service that provides it for a fee cannot be considered, and there is no way for the user to add a new button sound. .

As described above, since the key tone setting of the conventional mobile communication terminal selects only a few fixed sound effects provided by the manufacturer, new sound effects cannot be added at the user level, causing users to be bored with the existing sound effects.

In view of the above problems, the present invention enables the user to set the sound directly recorded by the user through the multimedia generation functions of the mobile communication terminal as the effect sound according to the key input, and to modify the recorded effect sound according to the type of the input key. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for setting a key tone of a mobile communication terminal to generate and use a unique key tone.

The present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of recording sound for a predetermined time using a sound recording means built in the mobile communication terminal; Selecting only a sound for a predetermined time among the recorded sounds, and adjusting the frequency of the selected sound according to a key of a mobile communication terminal to distinguish each key input.

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 key tone setting method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and illustrates a method of using a pre-generated sound video file through multimedia generating means already provided in a mobile communication terminal as shown. That is, a method of extracting only a sound portion from a pre-generated sound containing video file and obtaining only a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) of the corresponding sound as a sound effect for the keytone.

This means that the sound containing file generated by the multimedia generating means (the sound containing video file generating means, the simple voice recording means, etc.) already provided in the mobile communication terminal can be used. Changing the communication terminal can be facilitated.

First, as shown in FIG. 2A, after displaying data generated through the multimedia generating means, that is, a file list, and selecting a menu for managing the multimedia file, as shown in FIG. If you select a button sound setting item and then select a desired file, some of the sound of the file may be set as a sound effect for the key tone.

Of course, after selecting a predetermined file, some of the sounds of the file may be set as keytone sound effects through a menu, so that a specific menu position or file selection order may be changed.

If the length of the multimedia file is long, an interface for designating a desired section can be added. If the user selects a start position and then selects a pre-listen time, a preset time (approximately 1 second) region from the position is selected. You can listen to the sound of the user can specify the desired sound position. When the sound position is designated in this way, the sound of the position is separately stored and managed as a keytone effect sound.

That is, the keytone effect sound setting method described in FIG. 2 is a method of setting a desired file as an effect sound after displaying a file made through the existing multimedia generating means.                     

Unlike the method of FIG. 2, FIG. 3 is a method of adding a recording item for recording a new sound to an effect sound item provided in an existing button sound (keytone effect sound) setting menu.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3A, when a user presses a button sound setting menu to display a list of preset button tones, an item for instructing recording is added, and when the user selects the corresponding item, FIG. 3B. As described above, recording may be performed for a predetermined time by user selection. The means for recording is adapted to modify the existing voice recording means to limit the recording time to a predetermined time (about 1 second) and to store the thus-recorded recording data in a fixed location for storing the recorded sound effect in an overwriting manner. Just do it.

As described above, when the user directly records his or her voice or another person's voice or other sounds as key tone effects, the same key tone may be generated for all keys, and thus it is difficult to distinguish the differences between the keys. Therefore, in order to meet the key discrimination by hearing, which is the purpose of keytone generation, the present invention proposes a method of changing the frequency of the effect sound to be reproduced for each key. In other words, if the frequency is converted by applying the offset given to each key by using the basic sound obtained at the sampling frequency as a reference, a slightly different sound effect can be obtained for each key. As a result, it is possible to provide a sound effect that can distinguish each key.

As described above, the present invention enables the user to directly record and use the effect sound to be used as a keytone, thereby helping the user to set up a unique portable terminal.

As described above, the key tone setting method of the mobile communication terminal enables the user to set the sound recorded by the user directly through the multimedia generation functions of the mobile communication terminal as the sound effect according to the key input, and to the type of key input the recorded sound effect. By deforming accordingly, there is an effect that can satisfy the user's needs by providing a method that can create and use a unique keytone of the user.
