Description

How to send a voice message as a download method {VOICE MESSAGE TRANSMISSION METHOD OF DOWNLOAD MODE}

The present invention relates to a method of transmitting a download type voice message, and in particular, the mobile communication terminal converts and transmits an advertisement or a circulating voice message into a minimized file type that can be downloaded like a phone ringtone or melody. The present invention relates to a method of transmitting a voice message in a downloadable manner so that a voice message can be simply checked without a separate call or expense for checking contents.

In general, a mobile communication terminal has both a voice call and a short message transmission function. When the mobile communication terminal wants to talk to an arbitrary party, the current state is incapable of call (power off or in a call-free area). When the base station server outputs a message to the mobile terminal requesting the call, 'The mobile terminal to call is currently turned off' and leaves a voice message on the mobile terminal that is turned off, the server stores the voice message in the database. The mobile communication terminal notifies that there is a voice message when the mobile communication terminal is available for a call.

Then, the user can directly call the voice message confirmation menu or the service center of the terminal to check the received voice message after a predetermined authentication process. There is a problem that must continue to pay.

In addition, although voice messages have other advantages over text messages, such as simple input and easy empathy, the storage of voice messages has been difficult to store in a terminal having a limited memory capacity due to the large size of data during recording. Compared to text messaging, there was no service provided.

Accordingly, the present invention has been created to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, by converting and transmitting a voice message for advertisement or circulation in a mobile communication terminal into a minimized file form that can be downloaded as a telephone ringtone or melody. Its purpose is to provide a downloadable voice message transmission method for enabling the user to check the contents at any time and to simply check the voice message without a separate call or cost for the contents verification.

The present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of recording by transmitting a voice message input through the terminal to the base station; Converting, by a base station, a file of which the size of the voice message is minimized to a file stored in a base station database; Notifying the reception of the voice message to the counterpart terminal number to which the voice message is to be transmitted, and confirming whether to download the voice message; And transmitting the voice message file when selecting the download of the counterpart terminal.

Figure 4 is a flow chart illustrating a download process voice message transmission process according to the present invention.

According to the present invention, a voice message inputted only when the other party is absent can be recorded directly by the user's needs as a text message, and can be stored in advance as a voice message file and delivered to a desired party when necessary. There is a feature that allows you to check downloaded voice messages at any time without cost.

That is, in the related art, a voice message can be stored only when a call is not made with the other party, and a voice call can be made directly to deliver the same contents to a plurality of people, such as a circular or a notice, or only when a call is not made. However, in the present invention, it is possible to deliver a pre-stored voice message to a number of people instead of a text message, so that even if there are many contents to be delivered, it can be easily inputted and delivered in a short time.

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

1 is an exemplary view showing a menu selection screen for creating a voice message according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a user presses a menu button (not shown) to call a main menu such as (a). Select the 'Message' menu to send a voice message. When the 'message' menu is selected, various submenus for message management are output as shown in (b), and the 'outgoing' menu is selected among them, and the submenu is output as shown in (c) and 'send' voice message is sent. 'Select the menu.

Accordingly, a screen for selecting whether to send a new voice message or an archived voice message is output as shown in (d), and when the user selects to send a new voice message, the screen for recording a voice message as shown in (e). This is output, the user presses the 'start' button to start recording the voice message, and when the recording of the voice message is completed, press the 'end' button.

At this time, before starting the recording of the voice message, the title of the voice message (in this embodiment, “Kana-Dara”) is input together in the edit screen, and the title is also stored together with the completion of the recording. However, the recorded voice message (including the title) is not stored in the terminal, but is transmitted to a voice message server (not shown) of the base station to be stored in a corresponding database (not shown).

The title of the voice message is used to select only the list (title) from the base station when selecting a voice message in storage.

FIG. 2 is an exemplary view showing a menu selection screen for transmitting a voice message created in FIG. 1, and a new voice message may be created or selected and stored in a stored voice message.

First, if the corresponding menu is selected to transmit the stored voice message, a list of voice messages stored in the voice message server (not shown) of the base station is received and displayed as shown in (a), and among the voice messages desired by the user. If you select, as shown in (b), a screen for inputting a counterpart number to which a voice message is to be transmitted is output.

Accordingly, when the user inputs the telephone number in the counterpart number input window and presses the 'Next' button, the user outputs a screen for inputting the counterpart number to be added as shown in (c). That is, in the present invention, in order not to transmit only to one person, but to send a group of the same voice message to several people, such as circulation and notification, the other party number to be transmitted can be added continuously.

If the 'next' button is pressed without inputting a number on the counterpart number input screen to be added, it is determined that there is no counterpart number to be added any more, and as shown in (d), a screen for inputting a number to be contacted is displayed. Accordingly, the user enters the number to be contacted and presses the 'send' button.

As described above, the process for transmitting a voice message in the present invention is performed by a procedure similar to the process for inputting a conventional text message, so that the user can easily become familiar with the voice message service.

On the other hand, in the conventional case, when the voice message is received, the base station notifies the receiving terminal of the voice message using a text message, and as described above in the related art, the ARS guide message outputted by the user of the receiving terminal dialing into a service center. After the predetermined authentication procedure, the voice message was confirmed or the confirmed voice message was deleted.

However, the present invention notifies the reception of the voice message to the other party's telephone number and allows the voice message file to be downloaded through the data transmission service.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the base station notifies the receiving terminal user that the voice message has been received, and when the user presses the 'download' button, the base station downloads the message to a memory area for storing the voice message. At this time, the received voice message file is preferably converted into a minimization file that can be easily downloaded, such as a telephone ringtone or melody, by applying a minimization algorithm in a voice message server (not shown) of the base station.

Of course, the voice message download by the data transmission service should be a terminal capable of services such as Internet access or data packet reception.

In addition, the downloaded voice message file can be checked with a separate menu on the terminal, and the voice message file can be immediately played like a ringtone or melody.

In this case, a charge for data packet transmission is charged when downloading the voice message file, but it is very inexpensive compared to the fee charged for a voice call for checking a conventional voice message. Is not added.

If the sender changes the voice message to be set as the receiver's telephone ringtone by using the remote ringer change service of the receiver terminal by the sender, the receiver can check the voice message at no cost at all. Of course, in order to change the ringtone of the receiver terminal by the sender as described above, the mobile carrier must support the remote ringtone change service, and the sender must know the password of the receiver terminal. In the case of a relationship, it may be limitedly used.

Next, FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a download method voice message transmission process according to the present invention, wherein a user of a transmitting terminal selects a corresponding menu for voice message transmission and starts recording a voice message. The voice message is transmitted to the base station without being stored in the terminal, and the base station converts the voice message into a minimization file by a predetermined algorithm and stores the result in a voice message database (not shown).

Of course, if the memory capacity and the CSI speed of the terminal is sufficient, the voice message may be directly converted into a minimization file and stored in the terminal. However, for the present time, it is preferable to perform the above processing at the base station.

Next, when the terminal selects the transmission by inputting the other party's telephone number, the base station notifies that the voice message has been received by the other party's telephone number (receiving terminal) by an SMS service or the like, and selects the download of the voice message on the receiving terminal. The voice message stored in the database is transmitted, and the receiving terminal downloads the voice message and plays the voice message immediately as in the case of playing a ringtone.

In this case, the voice message may be transmitted in the form of a file such as a telephone ring or a melody using a data packet transmission protocol.

As described above, the present invention download method voice message transmission method, the mobile communication terminal converts and transmits a voice message for advertisement or circulation in the form of a minimized file that can be downloaded, such as a phone ringtone or melody, and check the contents at any time This has the effect of allowing you to simply check the voice message without the need for a separate call or cost to check the contents.
