There may be a plurality of embodiments of the present invention, and a preferred embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will be able to better understand the objects, features and advantages of the present invention through this embodiment.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a button tone providing service system for explaining a button tone changing process of a mobile phone according to the present invention.

As shown in the drawing, the button tone providing service system includes a mobile phone 100, a base station 110, a mobile communication switchboard 120, a button tone providing server 130, and a content providing server 140.

The mobile phone 100 has the same structure as shown in FIG. 3, but at least one button sound group downloaded according to a user's request is stored in the memory 30, and has a user interface for resetting the button sound group. And a communication interface capable of providing a data communication service. In addition, the mobile phone 100 is connected to the base station 110, the mobile communication switch 120 and the button tone providing server 130 using a communication interface in accordance with a data service request of the user, for example, a button tone group download request. You can download a group of button tones. The button sound group downloaded from the button sound providing server 130 is stored in the memory 30, and the stored button sound groups are withdrawn according to a user's button sound change request and displayed on the display window of the mobile phone 100. At this time, the sound data corresponding to the button stored in the memory 30 is changed by the button sound group selected according to the selection of a button sound group by the user.

Here, in the button sound group, sound data corresponding to a plurality of buttons mounted on the mobile phone 100 is set.

The content providing server 140 provides the button sound providing server 130 with content related to a plurality of button sound groups.

The button sound providing server 130 stores the button sound group provided by the content providing server 140, and displays the stored button sound group on the display of the user's mobile phone 100 according to the user's button sound download request. The selected button tone group is provided to the mobile phone 100 through the mobile communication switch 120 and the base station 110.

The button sound providing service providing process of the button sound providing service system having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 2. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a mobile phone button sound providing and changing process according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, when a user requests a button tone group by accessing the button tone providing server 130 through the base station 110 and the mobile communication switchboard 120 using the communication interface of the mobile phone 100, The button sound providing server 130 displays the stored button sound group list on the mobile phone 100 (S200 and S202).

According to the user's selection of any one of the button tone group list, the button tone providing server 130 provides the selected button tone group to the mobile phone 100 through the mobile communication switch 120 and the base station 110. 100 stores the button sound group provided by the button sound providing server 130 in the memory 30 (S204 and S206).

Thereafter, the mobile phone 100 determines whether there is a button tone group change request from the user (S208), and as a result of the determination of step S208, a user interface for changing the button tone group when the user requests a button tone group change request. To provide. In other words, the mobile phone 100 displays at least one button sound group list stored in the memory 30 on the display window according to the user's request for changing the button sound group, and according to the selection of any one of the displayed button sound group list. The button sound group set in the memory 30 is changed to the selected button sound group (S210 and S212).

As a result of the determination in step S208, when there is no request to change the button sound group from the user, the cellular phone 100 proceeds to step S214 to determine whether there is a button operation (S214), and as a result of the determination of step S214, the user When the button is operated, sound data corresponding to the operated button is read out from the button sound group set in the memory 30. At this time, the read button sound is reproduced by the voice reproducing unit 20 (S216).

In the present invention, the mobile phone 100 is connected to the button tone providing server 130 through the base station 110 and the mobile communication exchange 120 to receive a button tone group for changing the button tone of the mobile phone 100 For example, the button sound group may be provided by accessing the button sound providing server 130 using a public network such as an ARS system.
