Abstract

PURPOSE: A sender image display method during generating an incoming signal in a portable terminal is provided to diversify a simple incoming sound access signal and display an image which a sender wants on a receiver's terminal while an incoming sound is resounded. CONSTITUTION: A communication subscriber uploads desired image data to a server of a mobile communication company using a portable terminal. The mobile communication company stores the uploaded image data a code number of a corresponding portable terminal to register a portable terminal. When the communication subscriber performs a communication using the registered portable terminal, corresponding image data stored in the server of a mobile communication company is inquired and the image data are transmitted to a communication's opponent together with an incoming signal. While the communication subscriber receives the incoming signal from the receiver's portable terminal, the transmitted image is displayed.

Description

Method for displaying of image data of sender during the incoming call indication at mobile terminal}

The present invention relates to a method in which an image desired by a caller is transmitted from a counterpart via a wireless communication network so that the image is displayed on the receiver's portable terminal while an incoming signal of the portable terminal is generated.

1 is a block diagram of a general wireless communication network. As shown in Fig. 1, outgoing related information from a user terminal passes through a base station of a mobile communication company, and is relayed through a server of a head office to reach a receiver's terminal.

In a typical case, a phenomenon appearing on a receiver's terminal by a caller's incoming call generates a signal for notifying the receiver terminal, such as a ringing tone or vibration. In the conventional case, while a signal for notifying an incoming call is generated, there is no change on the screen of the receiver's terminal, or only an indication (for example, an image of a telephone ringing) that is notified according to the terminal appears. In this case, since the receiver must answer the call without confirming who the caller is, it is impossible to receive the selection.

On the other hand, when the caller identification function is conventionally added, the caller's phone number appears on the receiver's portable terminal. When the receiver checks the caller's phone number, it is cumbersome, and when the caller uses a phone number that the receiver does not know, As described above, the receiver cannot predict the sender at all.

The present invention is to provide a method for diversifying a simple ring tone arrival signal as in the above-mentioned prior art, and allowing a caller's desired image to be displayed on a terminal of the other recipient during the ringing tone.

1 is a block diagram of a general wireless communication network,

2 is an operational flowchart of a caller image display method according to the present invention;

In order to achieve the above object, in the portable terminal according to the present invention, the method for displaying the caller image during the generation of the incoming signal comprises the steps of uploading the image data desired by the subscriber of the telecommunication company to which the communication subscriber using the portable terminal is subscribed. (a); (B) storing and registering the image data uploaded in the step (a) and the code number of the corresponding portable terminal in the mobile communication company; (C) when the subscriber intends to communicate using the terminal registered in step (b), the corresponding image data stored in the server of the communication company is inquired and transmitted to the other party of the communication along with the incoming signal; And (d) displaying the image transmitted in step (c) while the incoming signal is received at the terminal of the receiver to which the subscriber intends to communicate.

In the caller image display method according to the present invention described above, the image data uploaded in the step (a) may be a moving image or a still image, may be in a compressed form, or may include text. In addition, the incoming signal in the step (d) may be a ringing tone, vibration, etc. of the terminal.

In addition, it is desirable that image data stored and registered in the mobile communication company be updated by the subscriber from time to time.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a method for displaying a caller image during generation of an incoming signal in a portable terminal according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying a caller image according to the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 2, the method for displaying the caller image during the generation of the incoming signal in the portable terminal according to the present invention starts from uploading the desired image data to the server of the telecommunication company to which the subscriber of the communication using the portable terminal is subscribed. do. As such, when the subscriber uploads the image data, the server of the mobile communication company stores and registers the unique terminal code of the subscriber and the uploaded image data.

When the subscriber who has undergone such a registration process as a sender and communicates using his portable terminal, the image data of the registered subscriber is transmitted to the other party with the incoming signal, and the other party's terminal has a screen display device. While the incoming signal is generated, the image uploaded by the caller is displayed on the screen display device of the other party's terminal.

In the present invention, the image data uploaded by the subscriber includes a still picture or a moving picture including text.

In addition, the incoming signal is generally used as a ring tone or vibration of the terminal, but any signal for notifying the incoming call is not included in the scope of the present invention.

On the other hand, the image data uploaded by the subscriber can be updated at any time if the subscriber desires. In this case, the communication company updates and registers the new image data through the subscriber confirmation procedure.

The image uploaded by the subscriber may include content identifying the subscriber or advertisement content desired by the subscriber. While displaying incoming content on the recipient's portable terminal while an incoming signal is occurring, the caller may be charged for displaying the advertising content.

If the subscriber has registered the image of the content revealing his or her identity, the receiver side can check the sender during the incoming signal, so that selective reception is possible.

As described above, according to the method for displaying the caller image during the generation of the incoming signal in the portable terminal according to the present invention, while the receiver receives the incoming signal, an image desired by the caller may be displayed on the receiver's terminal. Through the identification of the identity of the sender, and through the image of the sender reveals the identity, the receiver may confirm the caller's reception to receive a selective reception. It also provides a novel revenue model that may cause the sender to pay for displaying the advertising content when displaying the advertising content on the recipient's portable terminal while the incoming signal is occurring.
