Voice code package downloading system for mobile communication terminal for voice caller display and its service method {voice-code package downroading system for voice over CID for mobile terminal and service method of the same}

The present invention relates to the field of a caller indication service system, and in more detail, when a call including caller information is received at a mobile communication terminal through a wireless mobile communication network, the caller information is immediately converted into a voice and the voice is transmitted to the voice. Direct caller identification.

In general, the Calling Identification Display (CID) service is a service that notifies the receiver in advance by printing the phone number and name of the caller who made the call before or during the call on the LCD display of the call display terminal. Since it was commercialized in Bell, New Jersey in 1987, it has been commercialized in more than 50 countries, including developed countries and China, and Korea has also begun pilot service since April 1.

This caller ID service is an extension of the telephone network's ANI (Automatic Number Identification) function, which was previously used for special purposes such as billing for third-party brokerage calls, and can effectively prevent telephone violence received from anonymous callers. In addition to providing a communication infrastructure for providing data services to analog subscribers, a significant industrial effect is expected with regard to computer telephony integration (CTI), which has recently been activated.

In Korea, the provision of this service has been withheld due to the restriction of the Communications Secrets Protection Act.However, in 1985, when telephone violence became a serious social problem, the Korean Telecom's caller ID verification service using the ANI function (CRIS: The CalleR Identification System has begun to provide limited service subscribers with rigorous screening.

Then, the general configuration of the caller ID service system of the mobile communication terminal will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 1 or FIG. 2.

The caller indication service system of the conventional mobile communication terminal is connected to the PSTN network and when a call is sent from the caller-side terminal 100, the caller side exchange 130 that finds and sends caller information matching the call, and a plurality of registered A caller information database (caller information DB) 150 for storing and managing caller information, a receiving side exchange 140 for receiving caller information sent with a call from the calling side exchange 130, and a receiving side exchange When the caller information is received at the receiver side terminal 120 together with the call, it is divided into a display terminal device 110 which visually displays it. In this case, the receiver terminal is a mobile communication terminal 160. And sender information along with the call via the provider network.

Here, the calling side exchange 130 performs a function operation of processing the caller's personal information (phone number or name) on a call-by-call terminal 120 if it does not want to display the caller's personal information (call number or name) to provide the caller indication service. It has the characteristic of sending and collecting the calling information from the network and sends it to the display terminal of the service subscriber when a call is made of DN (Directory Number) having the calling service indication service class. .

In addition, the caller information database 150 stores data defining whether the caller indicates blocking intention at the time of blocking the caller name and the line unit among the caller information, and then corresponds to the information queried from the receiving exchange 140. The display terminal device 110 performs a function of visually displaying the caller information sent from the calling exchange by mounting the LCD screen so that the service subscriber can visually check the caller information.

Therefore, when caller information is received at the receiver side terminal 120 or the mobile communication terminal 120 together with the call, the caller information is displayed on the LCD screen before the receiver starts the call, so the call is sent before the call. Caller's confirmation is possible, and if missed call comes, the caller's information is saved in memory area, and then caller's information such as caller's phone number and call time is saved by recipient's click on separate caller information confirmation button. The service displayed on the image is provided.

However, in the conventional caller display service, when a call is received, the caller rings and at the same time, caller information is displayed on the LCD screen. Therefore, in order to confirm the caller information, the mobile communication terminal must be pulled out and checked. There was a risk of an accident when the caller must be checked through the LCD screen.

In addition, due to the problem of the method of the caller verification is only visual, there is a discontinuity in the case of the visually impaired can not use this caller ID service.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and when a call including caller information is received at a mobile communication terminal through a wireless communication network, the caller information is immediately converted into a voice and the direct caller is transmitted by the voice. The purpose of this is to eliminate the inconvenience of having to check the caller by providing the guidance, and to make the caller indication service available to the visually impaired.

Hereinafter, the main configuration of the apparatus according to the present invention will be described.

At least one movement comprising voice conversion means (eg, a TTS engine) 351 for converting the caller information into a voice so that direct caller guidance is provided through the voice when caller information is received with a call via a wireless communication network. A voice code package 352 for storing and managing a communication terminal 350, a voice code package 352 for converting the caller information into a voice of a specific person, and a voice code package 352 from a customer through a wireless Internet network. If there is a download request of the customer's mobile communication terminal 350 is configured as a transmission server 320 for downloading.

In addition, the transmission server 320 has an ARS system 330 that allows a customer connected through a PSTN network (ordinary telephone network) to request the selection and download of the voice code package 352 to their mobile communication terminal 350. The voice code package database 310 downloads the voice code package 352 to the mobile communication terminal 350 of a customer connected to the service homepage through the Internet using a personal computer (340). Web server (WEB server) 300 is interlocked so that the request can be configured the whole system.

Referring to the operation of the present invention configured as described in detail, first, the mobile communication terminal of the customer for the service is a hardware or software voice conversion means to decode the transmitted caller information to the voice of a specific person according to the voice code package It is assumed that it must be added.

The voice conversion means may be implemented in the form of a text to speech (TTS) engine, for example. The TTS engine has a function of converting a text into a voice in a computer to which a speech synthesis function is added and outputting it through a speaker. By telling a statement by sound, a beginner or the like can easily use the system. When the TTS engine is mounted on a mobile communication terminal, the received caller information can be reproduced with a voice code to reproduce the voice of a specific person.

In FIG. 4, the voice code package downloading service process of the present invention includes first accessing a voice code package downloading service screen of a wireless Internet network through a mobile communication terminal (S110), and a plurality of voice code package databases stored in a voice code package database.

The step S140 and the step of checking whether the voice code package is searched again are terminated (S150).

Here, the charging method of the service fee is performed by receiving a credit card or bank account number according to a general payment method of electronic commerce, or using a method according to an Internet electronic cash card such as an E-cash card or a mobile phone call fee. One or more methods may be appropriately applied, such as the method of imposing a taxonomy.

In FIG. 7, the voice code package includes an introduction section for reproducing a designated greeting along with background music, a voice code section for realizing caller display through voice by recombining caller information received by being coded with a specific person's voice and When the voice caller display is completed, the ending section is configured to play the ending together with the background music. The voice code package may be coded as voice data such as a WAVE file, for example, to reproduce a real sound. It is preferable that the converting means is repeatedly performed so that the receiver can sufficiently recognize the reception of the call when converting the caller information into the voice using the voice code package.

Furthermore, the voice code package provides a user's favorite celebrity voice and background music according to a customer's preference, and if necessary, a service for digitizing his or her voice into a voice code package can be implemented.

In addition, in order to provide various service access environment to customers, voice code package database is linked with ARS system (aka 700 voice information service) through general telephone network and web server through wired and wireless internet network to select and download voice code package. The ARS system may refer to an audio response system or an automatic response service. In FIG. 6, the ARS system allows a customer to select a desired voice code package through a general telephone network. When the voice code package is selected, the transmission server transmits the selected voice code package to the mobile communication terminal of the customer according to a download request of the customer.

Here, the transmission server can be implemented as a WAP server (Wireless Application Protocol server) for performing the purpose, the swap server refers to a server that serves to transmit the relevant information through a portable wireless device, where the portable The wireless device means a general mobile phone, a pager, a two-way radio, a PDA, or the like.

In addition, other types of transport servers may be replaced by a stinger server or a streaming server capable of performing the same role.

On the other hand, a customer connected via a wired or wireless internet network with a PC or a laptop is first connected to a web server built for downloading a voice code package, and the web server can download a voice code package. As the site is established, the user can select the desired voice code package while viewing the image and description, and then download it and request the WAP server to send it to the customer's mobile terminal. When the communication terminal is turned off or the transmission is in a bad state, a retry may be attempted or a text message may be sent for transmission.

Therefore, when the caller information is received at the mobile communication terminal of the customer, this is a step (S310) in which a call is sent from the caller as shown in FIG. 5, the mobile communication terminal receiving caller information together with the call (S320), and Converting the caller information into a voice of a specific person using a voice code package by the voice conversion means of the mobile communication terminal, and outputting the converted caller information as a voice to perform caller guidance (S340); The method may be briefly summarized as a step (S350) of repeatedly performing the previous step and setting up a call (S360) and ending according to the call connection intention of the receiver.

At this time, since the voice code package is already downloaded and stored in the mobile communication terminal of the customer, as the caller information is received together with the call, the received caller information is converted into voice instead of the existing ring tone and output. .

Therefore, the caller guide is directly performed by voice instead of a ringtone notifying the reception of a conventional call, and thus, the receiver may have a very convenient advantage since the caller may select whether to connect the call after the caller confirmation without a separate confirmation process.

In addition, the mobile communication terminal described in the present invention is not only limited to the wireless Internet phone to which the voice conversion means is added, but is applicable to all types of mobile communication terminals such as PDAs or laptops.

In the present invention, a voice code package downloading system for a mobile communication terminal for displaying a voice caller and a service method thereof replace a ring tone indicating a reception of a conventional call and display the caller directly through the voice to confirm caller information through a conventional LCD screen. In addition to eliminating the inconvenience, visually handicapped people are also able to identify the caller is expected to have an excellent ripple effect across the industry.

In addition, when the user's voice or entertainer's voice is stored or downloaded, the caller's information can be selectively implemented through the entertainer's voice or his own voice. Therefore, there is an excellent advantage that can satisfy the taste of consumers more.
