Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the configuration and operation of the present invention.

1 is a block diagram to which a unique ring tone storage method using a voice mailing system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is applied, and includes a terminal 10, a switching network 20, and a VMS 30.

The terminal 10 has a memory 12 for storing a ringing tone or a ringing tone, and when a telephone number corresponding to the VMS 30 is dialed by a subscriber using the terminal 10, the telephone number according to the dialing input is dialed. The input signal is transmitted to the switching network 20. In addition, the terminal 10 listens to the announcement for the ring tone or ring tone (telephone ring) selection method transmitted from the switching network 20, and transmits the desired letter or number input signal to the switching network 20, corresponding After listening to the ring tone, if the ring tone is desired, the ring tone is stored in the memory 12.

The memory 12 is located in the terminal 10 and stores a ring tone or ring tone signal by the terminal 10.

The switching network 20 internally receives a telephone number input signal from the terminal 10 and performs a number translation internally. The switching network 20 controls the communication path in the direction of the VMS 30 according to the number translation result, and then the terminal 10 and the VMS ( Switch to call connection between 30).

After the VMS 30 is connected to the terminal 10 by the switching network 20, the VMS 30 transmits the announcement to the terminal 10 through the switching network 20. In addition, the VMS 30 receives a text or numeric input signal in response to the announcement of the announcement broadcast from the terminal 10 through the switching network 20, the terminal ringing through the switching network 20 corresponding to the ring tone Send it out.
