Abstract

PURPOSE: A voice message transmission method is provided to enhance users' convenience by simply transferring a voice message without call communication. CONSTITUTION: A user sequentially selects a voice message transmission mode and a destination tone mode in an origination terminal(201) and inputs a destination number(203). An automatic response server is connected with an origination terminal(205). The automatic response server checks whether the user has been subscribed as a member by using an origination number(207). If the user has been subscribed, the origination terminal transmits a voice message to the automatic response server and the automatic response server stores the received voice message(209). The automatic response server checks whether a destination terminal has been subscribed for a caller designated melody service(211). If the destination terminal has been subscribed for the service, the automatic response server inserts an identification code indicating a voice message transmission instead of a destination tone into a paging message and transmits it to the destination terminal(213). The destination terminal receives the voice data stored in the automatic response server(215). The automatic response server checks whether a destination call is inputted to the destination terminal(217). When the destination call is inputted, the automatic response server opens a voice channel for the call(219).

Description

How to send a voice message {METHOD FOR TRANSMITING VOICE MESSAGE IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK}

The present invention relates to a voice message transmission method, and more particularly, to a voice message transmission method for transmitting a caller's voice message instead of a ring tone.

Due to the rapid dissemination of mobile communication networks, many people carry mobile communication terminals, which are used as a means for providing various information as well as voice calls.

In the conventional mobile communication terminal, the ringing tone can be set to the ringing tone or the vibration mode. In the ringing tone mode, one of various ringing tones is selected according to the user's taste. That is, these various ring tones are downloaded from the ring tone server and desired ring tones are stored in the mobile terminal.

Therefore, once a fixed ring tone is set as a ring tone, the ring tone is reproduced as a ring tone when a call signal is received.

On the other hand, while using a mobile communication terminal, it is very difficult to make a personal phone call in an office or the like, and sometimes there is a case where you do not want to receive a call from a place related to work even after the work is finished.

Even in this case, since only one ring tone set as a conventional ring tone is reproduced, an incoming call is selectively selected after checking a caller ID (Caller ID) displayed when a call signal is received.

However, recently, since a function called a phone number display prohibition number is added, it is practically impossible to selectively receive an incoming call.

Accordingly, the present invention was created to solve the above problems, the present invention by transmitting the caller's voice message instead of the ring tone, it is possible to prevent the stress caused by unnecessary phone calls in advance, simply to deliver the voice message without a call It is an object of the present invention to provide a voice message transmission method of a mobile communication system that can further improve the convenience of the product.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples.

1 is a diagram illustrating a mobile communication system to which the present invention is applied. As shown in FIG. 1, a mobile communication system to which the present invention is applied includes an originating terminal 111 and an answering machine connected to the originating terminal 111 ( 113, a sound source server 115 connected to the answering machine 113, an answering server 113 and a called terminal 121 connected to the calling terminal 111 through the communication network.

Here, the caller terminal 111 is provided to execute a voice message transmission mode for transmitting the caller's voice message instead of the caller's ringing tone.

The answering machine 113 checks whether the subscriber is a subscription member for the voice message transmission mode by using the telephone number of the calling terminal 111 and stores the voice message provided from the calling terminal 111 when the subscription member is a member. Using the called number provided from the calling terminal 111 and the personal information of the sound source server 115, it is checked whether the called terminal 121 subscribes to the caller designation melody service subscribed to, and if the service is subscribed, the calling party designation is designated. It is provided to insert the identification code indicating the voice message transmission instead of the ring tone to the paging message indicating that the melody service to the destination terminal 121.

The receiving terminal 121 receiving the identification code indicating the voice message transmission instead of the ringing tone supplied from the answering machine 113 receives a voice data by opening a data channel after receiving a call with the answering machine 113. It is provided to convert the voice data into a voice message, and when the incoming call is input during the reception of the voice message, the voice channel is opened to make a call with the calling terminal 111.

In the voice message transmission apparatus using the communication network to which the present invention made as described above is applied, first, as shown in FIG. 2, the user sequentially processes the voice message transmission mode and the ringing tone among the modes displayed on the screen window of the calling terminal 111. When the caller terminal 111 inputs the called party number, the calling terminal 111 transmits the identification code for the voice message transmission to the answering machine 113 instead of the ringing tone to the called party number, and receives the answering code. Is connected to the call terminal 111 through the communication network.

The answering machine 113 connected to the caller terminal 111 checks whether a member is already subscribed by using the calling phone number and, if an old member, sends a message requesting an input of a voice message for transmission instead of a ringing tone. The calling terminal 111 transmits the voice message according to the message supplied from the answering machine 113.

The answering machine 113 receiving the voice message stores the input voice message in the form of voice data, and uses the called number stored from the calling terminal 111 and the personal information supplied from the sound source server 115. Check whether the terminal 121 is subscribed to the caller-specific melody service subscribed to, and if the subscriber is subscribed to the paging message indicating that the caller-specific melody service is inserted, an identification code indicating the transmission of a voice message instead of the ring tone is received. To send.

The receiving terminal 121 receiving the identification code indicating the transmission of the voice message instead of the ringing tone receives a voice data stored in the answering machine 113 by opening a data channel, and converts the received voice message into voice. Make it known to the called party. For example, 'Please answer me XX.' Or, a voice message such as "Today's Sinchon meeting X is XX" is sent instead of the ring tone.

When the incoming call of the called terminal 121 is input while the voice message is received, the voice channel is opened and the call is made after stopping the opening of the data channel.

In addition, if an incoming call of the called terminal 121 is not input during the incoming of the voice message, the call connection is terminated after the voice message is received. That is, the called party receives only a simple voice message transmitted instead of the ringing tone, and no call is made between the called party and the caller.

On the other hand, when the called terminal 121 is not subscribed to a caller-specific melody service, the call connection between the calling terminal 111 and the called terminal 121 is performed through a call connection process.

In an embodiment of the present invention, when the caller subscribes to the voice message transmission member, the voice message transmission service is provided after the member registration. However, when the member does not register, a call using a normal ring tone may be made.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a voice message transmission process using a communication network according to the present invention. Referring to Figure 3 describes a voice message transmission process using a communication network according to the present invention.

First, the user sequentially selects the voice message transmission mode and the ring tone mode among the modes displayed on the screen window of the calling terminal 111 (step 201), and then inputs the called number (step 203). The calling terminal 111 transmits an identification code for the voice message transmission to the answering server 113 instead of the ringing tone to the called number, and the answering server 113 receiving the identification code sends the calling terminal 111 through the communication network. Call connection (step 205).

The answering machine 113 connected to the caller terminal 111 checks whether a member is already subscribed using the calling phone number (step 207), and inputs a voice message for transmitting instead of the ringing tone if the former member is a member. The request message is transmitted to the calling terminal 111, and the calling terminal 111 transmits a voice message according to the message supplied from the answering machine 113. The answering server 113 receiving the voice message stores the input voice message (step 209).

Using the called number input from the calling terminal 111 and the personal information supplied from the sound source server 115, it is checked whether the called terminal 121 subscribes to the caller designated melody service subscribed to (step 211). If subscribed to the paging message indicating that the caller-specific melody service is inserted into the identification code indicating the voice message transmission instead of the ring tone to transmit to the destination terminal 121 (step 213).

The receiving terminal 121 receiving the identification code indicating the transmission of the voice message instead of the ring tone opens a data channel to receive voice data stored in the answering machine 113, converts the received voice message into voice, and sends it to the called party. It is recognized (step 215).

It is checked whether the incoming call of the called terminal 121 is input during the incoming call of the voice message (step 217). In this case, when an incoming call is input, the voice channel is opened after the opening of the data channel is stopped (step 219).

In addition, if the incoming call is not input during the voice message reception in step 217, the process proceeds to step 218 to check whether the voice message reception is completed, and if the voice message reception is not completed, proceeds to step 215. If the voice message reception is completed, the program ends.

If it is determined in step 207 that the voice message transmission service is not subscribed to instead of the ringing tone, the message requesting membership and input of personal information is requested to apply for membership (step 221), and the process proceeds to step 201. do.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 211 that the called terminal 121 is not providing the caller-specific melody service, after the call connection between the calling terminal 111 and the called terminal 121 through the usual process (step 223 In step 217, if it is determined that no incoming call is input in step 217, the process proceeds to step 215 to continue transmitting the voice message.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined in step 207 that there is no member registration, the process proceeds to step 221 to provide a voice message transmission service after registration, but in step 207, membership is not registered. In this case, the process may proceed to step 223 where a normal call may be made.

As described above, the voice message transmission method using the communication network according to the present invention, by transmitting the caller's voice message instead of the ringing tone, it is possible to prevent the stress of the user due to unnecessary phone calls in advance, the convenience of the product It can be further improved.
