Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for changing a bell sound in a mobile communication terminal is provided to ring the bell sound selected and designated by a caller through a terminal of a callee. CONSTITUTION: A reception-side terminal registers a telephone number and bell sound list having authority capable of changing a bell sound in a service provider server(S101,S102). If a caller inputs a reception-side telephone number(S103), the service provider server detects a caller's number and judges whether the caller's number is a telephone number having the bell sound change possible authority(S104). If the caller's number is the telephone number having the bell sound change possible authority, the service provider server outputs a bell sound selection guiding message(106). If the caller listens to the bell sound selection guiding message and selects a desired bell sound number(107), the service provider server loads the selected bell sound from a database(108) and transmits the loaded bell sound together with a call connection signal to the reception-side terminal(S109). The reception-side terminal reproduces the bell sound as soon as the bell sound is received(110).

Description

BELL SOUND CHANGING METHOD FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a method for changing a ring tone of a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a method for changing a ring tone of a mobile communication terminal such that a caller selects and specifies a ring tone so that the selected designated ring tone sounds through a receiver's terminal.

The ringtone of the current mobile communication terminal can be changed only by the terminal user, and can be changed into a ringtone downloaded from a professional company as well as a ringtone already built in the terminal.

In addition, a two-number service that can use two phone numbers with one terminal is also in operation, and a caller number service that displays the caller's phone number to prevent phone violence is also in operation.

In particular, the two-number service, which sets the ringtone for each phone number differently, allows the user to pick up the call and to know the caller only by the ringtone. There is a problem that privacy can not be protected by being able to predict who the person is.

In addition, as the hardware of the terminal has been recently upgraded, it is possible to output ringtones at almost audio levels, rather than simple ringtones, but to generate new demand by increasing the added value of the terminal, but using ringtones The service is still inadequate.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a method for changing a ring tone of a mobile communication terminal, in which a caller selects and specifies a ring tone so that the selected designated ring tone sounds through the receiver's terminal. The purpose is.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a first step of registering a phone number and a ringtone list in which a receiver has a right to change a ringtone to an operator server; A second step of determining, by the operator server, the number of the caller who wants to make a telephone connection with the receiver and determining whether the telephone number is authorized to change the ring tone; A third step of outputting a ringtone selection guide message when the phone number has a right to change a ringtone as a result of the determination; If the caller listens to the announcement message and selects a desired ringtone, loading the selected ringtone from the database and transmitting the ringtone to the receiving terminal together with the call connection signal; The receiving terminal has a fifth step of immediately reproducing the ring tone received with the call connection signal.

1 is a state diagram showing a method of changing a ringtone of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Also, in the following description, numerous specific details, such as specific processing flows, are set forth in order to provide a more general understanding of the invention, and it is to be understood that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. It will be obvious to them.

In addition, detailed description of well-known functions and structures which are determined to unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

The present invention is characterized in that the caller selects and designates a ringtone so that the selected ringtone sounds through the receiver's terminal, so that the caller can predict the caller before the caller's intention (feeling state) is called.

In addition, only the caller to whom the recipient has given permission to change the ringtone can change the ringtone, so that even if various ringtones are heard, others will be protected because they know that the call comes from several people rather than a specific person. It features.

In addition, the receiver can select only the ringtone registered in the ringtone list, thereby preventing overload of the system and the terminal. Of course, the ringtone registered in the ringtone list is selected and registered by the receiver.

In order to designate the ringtone of the receiver, the caller may first select a ringtone by accessing the system during a telephone call from a list of ringtones registered in the system.

When the caller's phone number is displayed on the terminal, the receiver may know who the ringer is constantly changing and may know the current emotional state of the caller.

In addition, if a caller records various voice announcements and registers them as ringtones, a short communication can be carried out as a ringtone even if there is no time, without answering the call.

1 is a state diagram illustrating a method of changing a ring tone of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, and illustrates a process between a calling terminal, a service provider server, and a receiving terminal.

First, the receiving terminal registers a telephone number and a ringtone list having the authority to change the ringtone to the operator server (S101 and S102).

In the state in which the phone number and the ringtone list are registered as described above, the caller inputs the receiving telephone number for the telephone connection (S103).

Then, the operator server detects the caller number and determines whether the telephone number is authorized to change the ringtone registered by the receiver (S104).

As a result of the determination, when the caller's number is a telephone number without the right to change the ringtone, the call is connected as in the existing call connection process, and the receiving terminal outputs the ringtone set in the terminal itself (S105).

However, if the calling number is a phone number with a ringtone changing authority, the ringtone selection guide message is output (S106).

Then, the caller listens to the guide message and selects a desired ring number among the guide messages (S107).

When the caller selects the ringtone, the operator server loads the selected ringtone from the database (S108) and transmits the call connection signal to the receiving terminal (S109).

The receiving terminal allows the playback to be performed immediately after receiving the ringtone (S110).

The present invention described above makes it easier to make a call by selecting a congratulatory music as a ringtone when a caller wants to make a congratulatory call and by selecting a quiet music as a ringtone when a caller wants to make a call. Let's do it.

Of course, there was a conventional music message service, but the receiver has to go through a variety of procedures to check the message, there was an uncomfortable problem that the call is not made directly with the caller, in the present invention, using the ringtone to convey the caller's mind, It is possible to increase the convenience of the user by enabling the call immediately.

As described above, the method for changing the ringtone of the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention allows the caller to select and designate a ringtone so that the selected ringtone sounds through the receiver's terminal, thereby expressing the caller's intention through music in advance. In other words, by making the call available immediately, the user's convenience is increased, thereby creating new added value.
