Description

Method for transmission of voice message in mobile phone}

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting a voice message of a mobile phone terminal, and more particularly, to a method for transmitting a voice message of a mobile phone terminal, which is suitable for a new generation or a college student who is capable of transmitting and receiving voice messages.

Conventional mobile phone terminals have used a method of contacting the other party by using a short message service and a voice mailing service function when a direct call with the other party is not possible.

The Short Message Service (SMS) function may transmit only a short text message to the other party, may use it between mutually agreed service providers, and does not have a service agreement (for example, DCN (Digital Cellular). There is a drawback that mobile phones cannot be used between networks and PCS operators.

In addition, the voice mailing service function is a limited function that performs a voice mailbox function and is available only when a call cannot be made with the other party.

Therefore, young people who do not want to talk or can not afford the burden of communication costs, I think you will need a cell phone that can be used cheaply without having to talk directly to the other party.

Communication methods between terminals provided with such an additional service may be classified into three types.

First, the most common means of mutual communication is a direct call method, which is a method of directly making a call from a terminal to a counterpart terminal. This has a disadvantage that the communication cost is burdened if the talk time is long.

Secondly, when a user attempts to make a call to the other party, the communication method connects to the other party's personal mailbox (VMS function) without direct connection depending on the circumstances of the other party or the state of the device. Once connected to your personal mailbox, you can take a voice message like a pager, or leave the number you want to call.

The third method is to create or edit a sentence to be sent to the user's terminal by using the short message service function without first attempting to make a call, and then to send it to the other's terminal.

These three methods are the most commonly used methods in general mobile phone terminals.

However, the short message service (SMS) function of such a communication method is not very effective because only a short sentence can be made and edited and then exchanged, and the cellular phone can communicate with each other and PCS can communicate with each other. There is a limit.

In addition, the voice mailing service (VMS) function can be used only when a call is not attempted with the other party, and is not always available.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has a voice-only memory unit in the mobile phone terminal to record and transmit a voice message to be sent to the other party, and store the voice message in the voice-only memory unit at a reservation time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for transmitting a voice message of a mobile phone terminal capable of transmitting.

Voice message transmission method of a mobile phone terminal according to the present invention for achieving the above object,

(a) selecting a menu to be used, preparing a voice recording, and inputting (recording) a voice message to be sent to his terminal;

(b) checking whether the data is transmitted after step (a);

(c) If the determination result of step (b) is transmitted, the process proceeds to the step of receiving the counterpart's personal mailbox.

Here, if the determination result of step (b) is not transmitted, storing the voice message in the voice-only memory unit, and transmitting the voice message stored in the step at a scheduled time to be received in the personal mailbox of the other party; It is characterized by.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a block diagram of a mobile phone terminal according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a voice message transmission method of the mobile phone terminal according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an RF / IF processing unit 1 for transmitting and receiving an RF signal through an antenna ANT, and a modulation and demodulation unit for modulating and demodulating data transmitted and received through the RF / IF processing unit 1. (2), a data compressor (3) for exchanging data with the modulator and demodulator (2) and compressing the data, and a code and decode for coding and decoding the compressed data with the data compressor (3). A codec 4, a DTMF (Dual Tone MultiFrequency) generating part 5 for generating sound of a voice frequency and applying it to the modulation and demodulation part 2, and a display part LCD 6 to be displayed on an LCD screen. And a memory unit 7 storing certain parameters necessary for the terminal, a voice-only memory unit 8 storing voice data, a key pad 9 for inputting button signals, and controlling each unit. The system control unit (MPU; Main Processor Unit, 10), the speaker 11 for outputting the audio signal to the outside, and And a microphone (MIC) 12 for inputting a voice signal, and an audio amplifier 13 for amplifying the voice signal.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, a method for transmitting a message of a mobile phone terminal of the present invention configured as described above is as follows.

1 is a configuration diagram of a mobile phone terminal for the present invention,

When receiving a signal from the terminal, the RF signal (Radio Frequency) received through the antenna is received by the RF / IF processing unit 1 and processed as an IF signal (Intermediate Frequency), the IF signal is modulated and demodulated (2) By the data compression unit 3 after demodulation.

The data compressed by the data compression unit 3 is decoded by the code and decode unit 4 and then output to the speaker 11 through the audio amplifier 13. In addition, when data is received, the system controller 10 displays the screen of the display unit 6 and stores the corresponding phone number in the memory unit 7.

When the signal is transmitted from the terminal, the user inputs information to be sent to the other party using the keypad 9 while looking at the screen of the display unit 6, and the system control unit 10 recognizes this and then the DTMF generating unit 5 The frequency generated by the DTMF generation unit 5 is input to the modulation and demodulation unit 3,

At this time, the audio signal input through the microphone 12 is amplified by the audio amplifier 13 and then coded by the code and decode unit 4, and the coded signal is compressed by the data compressor 3. It is then modulated by the modulation and demodulation section 2 and carried on the RF signal.

On the other hand, it is provided with a voice-only memory unit 8 that can store voice data so that the user can send a voice message after a certain time to store the voice message when the user records the voice message.

For a voice message transmission method using the mobile phone terminal having such a configuration, referring to FIG. 2, the voice message transmission function is selected from the menu of the mobile phone terminal, the voice message recording is selected from the guide display. Prepare for recording (S101).

When the preparation for recording of the voice message is completed, the voice message to be sent is recorded (S102), and after inputting the phone number of the other party to be sent, the user also inputs his or her number to determine whether to transmit it now (S103). . As a result, if it is now transmitted, the voice message is transmitted, and the transmitted voice message is received in the personal mailbox of the other party (S104, S105).

However, in the case where the user does not send a voice message now or in an area where the radio wave is weak, the recorded voice message is temporarily stored in the voice-only memory unit 8 provided in the terminal itself. The voice memory unit 8 stores and stores only voice data, so that the voice memory unit 8 stores voice separately as well as real-time transmission of voice messages (S106).

In this case, if the user has set the scheduled transmission, the stored voice message is sent to the counterpart's personal mailbox at the scheduled time (S107 and S105).

In this way, the voice message is transmitted immediately or stored separately in the terminal, such as a text message without directly calling the other party, and then sent later at a desired time.

For this purpose, it is desirable to support the short message service function from the software level and to transmit the voice message.

The present invention can support only voice message transmission in the current personal terminal, but the present invention can be applied to MP3 dedicated terminals preferred by new generations in the future. This will allow new generations to send and receive their favorite songs in voice messages, without having to talk directly to the other person in the form of an e-mail.

As described above, according to the voice message transmission method of the personal terminal according to the present invention, by adding a voice message transmission function can reduce the burden on the new generation and college students of the main customer base of the terminal, You can also mix and edit your voice messages with the songs you have saved and send them to you in the form of song letters.
