As shown in FIG. 1, the system of the present invention includes a mobile terminal 10, a sound source providing apparatus 20, a broadcast sound source management server 30 or an ARS system 40, and a terminal specification information DB 50. , Sound source providing control server 60.

The sound source providing apparatus 20 stores a plurality of pieces of sound source information and provides reproduction music of a specific sound source to the mobile terminal 10 through the mobile communication network N1.

The broadcast sound source management server 30 communicates data with the sound source providing apparatus 20 via the Internet network N2 and stores identification codes for all the plurality of sound source information stored in the sound source providing apparatus. The broadcast sound source management server 30 receives and stores sound source information for each broadcast time zone used for a broadcast programming program from each broadcasting station server, and performs data communication with the mobile terminal 10 through the Internet network N2. The sound source information for each broadcast time zone provided by the broadcast sound source management server 30 from the broadcast station server includes music name and / or singer information such as music, music video, and effect sound matched to the broadcast time zone information.

The ARS system 40 performs data communication with each broadcasting station server through the Internet network N2, receives and stores sound source information for each broadcasting time zone used in the broadcasting program of each broadcasting station, and stores the mobile communication network N1. Voice communication with the mobile terminal 10 is performed. The ARS system 40 is the same as the broadcast sound source management server 30, but providing a service through a subscriber mobile terminal and a voice call is a difference from the broadcast sound source management server 30.

The terminal specification information DB 50 stores a unique code (ie, a product number) of each mobile terminal, and the unique code is a basis for determining the performance of the mobile terminal, that is, an acceptable service type.

The sound source providing server 60 controls the operation of the sound source providing server 60 by performing data communication with the sound source providing apparatus 50 through the Internet network N2, and the sound source providing apparatus 50.

The program information stored in the database is a program name, a program video or audio file, an advertisement file, and the like. Here, prior to explaining the present invention, the program information of the broadcasting program managed by each broadcasting company server includes sound source information for each program, and the sound source information for each program is matched to the broadcasting time zone and includes song names, singer information, and the like. It is assumed that

2 is a flowchart illustrating a service providing method of downloading music to be heard as a ringing tone according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

When a subscriber who is listening to or watching a music broadcast, a drama or an advertisement through a TV or a radio decides to download the currently listened music to the incoming call source, the user presses a specific hot key formed on the mobile terminal. Then, a data call path is established between the subscriber's mobile terminal 10 and the broadcast sound source management server 30 and the subscriber mobile terminal 10 is connected to the broadcast sound source management server 30.

In this state, when the subscriber requests a ringtone download service request for the music being broadcast to the broadcast sound source management server 30 (S201), the broadcast sound source management server 30 performs subscriber authentication in a conventional manner. That is, the subscriber is required to input the registered ID and password, and the ID and password are obtained from the subscriber. Then, it is determined whether the service subscriber is compared with the subscriber information stored in the subscriber storage DB (80) (S202).

The broadcast sound source management server 30 knows the telephone number of the visitor through the ID and password obtained through the authentication process, and uses it for billing and service registration. The present invention can serve not only subscribers confirmed through authentication but also non-subscribers who do not undergo authentication. However, the non-subscriber must have a personal information acquisition process that receives the non-subscriber's personal information or mobile phone number from the non-subscriber for billing purposes, and the personal information acquisition process can be performed at any time before providing the user with a specific sound source. have.

In the determination (S202), the broadcast sound source management server 30 transmits a message notifying the denial of service to the subscriber mobile terminal if the subscriber is not a service subscriber (S203), and if the subscriber is a service subscriber, the time at which the service request is received from the subscriber. (Hereinafter referred to as 'service request time') (S204). Then, the subscriber list is provided so that the subscriber can select a broadcaster providing the music that is currently being listened to (S205).

In step S205, the subscriber mobile terminal displays a list of broadcasters. When the subscriber selects a broadcaster, radio, TV, and Internet broadcast channels managed by the broadcaster are displayed. Accordingly, when the subscriber selects one broadcast channel from the displayed channels, the broadcast sound source management server 30 receives the identification code of the broadcast channel selected by the subscriber (S206).

Receiving one broadcast channel identification code from the subscriber, the broadcast sound source management server 30 searches for and reads the sound source information currently broadcast in the corresponding broadcast channel from its own stored database and provides the subscriber mobile terminal (S207).

Here, the method of determining the sound source information currently broadcast from the database by the broadcast sound source management server 30 uses a time when the ring tone download service request signal is received, that is, a service request time. That is, the broadcast sound source management server 30 determines that the sound source information of the channel broadcast in the time zone including the service request time checked in step S204 is sound source information currently broadcasted in the channel.

However, the sound source information corresponding to the service request time is preferably one piece of sound source information broadcasted during the time period including the service request time, but the service is considered in consideration of the performance of the terminal, the data traffic situation, and the service request time delay of the subscriber. It is preferable to further include at least one sound source information (hereinafter referred to as 'previous sound source information') broadcast before the request time. Therefore, the sound source information provided to the subscriber mobile terminal from the broadcast sound source management server 30 is the sound source list information which records the sound source information currently broadcast and the previous sound source information sequentially broadcasted from the service request time.

As a result, the mobile terminal 10 of the subscriber who selects one broadcasting channel is provided with a sound source list, and displays at least one sound source information, that is, a song name and a singer information list according to the received sound source list. In this case, the sound source information list displayed on the mobile terminal 10 is displayed by giving priority to the most recently broadcast sound source information from the present time.

According to the sound source information list display, the user's sound source selection is one example. If the sound source for service registration is still being broadcast, the first sound source information in the list is selected, and the sound source for service registration is broadcast immediately before the sound source currently broadcasted. If so, the second source information is selected (S208).

The sound source information selected by the subscriber is transmitted to the broadcast sound source management server 30 as a sound source identification code, and the broadcast sound source management server 30 receives one piece of sound source identification information (code) selected by the subscriber from the subscriber mobile terminal. It is checked whether the sound source identification code is stored in the self-stored sound source identification code database and checks whether it is a serviceable sound source (S209).

The sound source identification code stored in the broadcast sound source management server 30 itself is preferably information matched with a plurality of sound source information stored in the sound source providing apparatus 20. That is, each index information of the sound sources stored in the sound source providing apparatus 20 is a sound source identification code stored in the broadcast sound source management server 30 itself.

The broadcast sound management server 30 determines that there is an identification code of the sound source selected by the subscriber in the sound source identification code database through the checking process (S208), and determines that the service is not possible without the identification code of the sound source selected by the subscriber. . When the determination is finished, the broadcast sound management server 30 notifies the subscriber mobile terminal 10 with the determination result as a response message (S210).

If the response message is a message indicating that the service is unavailable, the broadcast sound management server 30 does not perform any further service operation on the sound source selected by the subscriber, but if the response message is serviceable, it satisfies the specification of the subscriber mobile terminal 10. Check the specifications of the terminal to provide a sound source. That is, the broadcast sound source management server 30 obtains the specification information of the subscriber mobile terminal 10 from the terminal specification information DB 50 using the telephone number of the subscriber mobile terminal (S211).

Then, the supportable ring tone of the subscriber mobile terminal 10 is determined based on the obtained specification information. According to the currently released mobile terminal models, the supported chords include unvoiced, 16-chord, 32-chord, and 42-chord. Therefore, the broadcast sound source management server 30 learns whether the subscriber mobile terminal 10 is an unvoiced, 16, 32 or 42 chord through the terminal specification information. When grasping the chord information of the subscriber mobile terminal 10, the broadcast sound source management server 30 to the sound source providing device 20, the sound source selected by the subscriber that meets the specifications (ie, chord information) of the subscriber mobile terminal 10 (S212), and obtain (S213).

 When the subscriber acquires the selected sound source, the broadcast sound source management server 30 downloads the acquired sound source to the subscriber mobile terminal 10 to enable registration as a ring tone (S214).

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention described with reference to FIG. 2 will be described.

In the above description, the present invention is to perform the service availability check (S209) after the subscriber's sound source selection (S208), but can be performed before providing the sound source list (S207). In this case, before the sound source list is provided, the broadcast sound source management server 30 knows whether the service is available for each sound source in the sound source list, and accordingly, adds the service availability information to the sound source in the sound source list and provides the subscriber mobile terminal. can do. As a result, the subscriber mobile terminal receiving the list information displays whether the serviceable sound source and the non-serviceable sound source can be serviced by text, color, or flashing, and so on. Before selecting a sound source, whether the service is available or not, the sound source is not selected.

Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3. 3 is a flowchart of a service providing method for downloading music listened to during a broadcast as a ring tone according to a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a subscriber can set a ring tone using the ARS system 40.

When a caller who is listening to or watching a music broadcast or drama or advertisement via TV or radio decides to download the currently listening music as a ring tone, a specific hot key requesting access to the ARS system 40 formed in the mobile terminal. Press () or enter the phone number of the ARS system 40 to request a connection. The caller's mobile terminal 10 transmits the ring tone download service request to the ARS system 40 through the mobile communication network (S301).

Then, the ARS system 40 checks the time when the ring tone download service request is received from the caller mobile terminal 10, that is, the service request time (S302). The ARS system 40 provides a list of broadcasters by voice so that the caller can select a broadcaster that broadcasts the music that is currently being listened to (S303).

When the caller listens to the broadcaster list by voice through the process (S303), the caller performs one key channel to select a channel of the corresponding broadcaster (channel of the broadcaster currently listening) according to the voice guidance. Select (S304).

When the caller selects one broadcast channel, the ARS system 40 checks the broadcast channel selected by the caller, and stores sound source information broadcast on the checked broadcast channel in a time zone including the service request time checked above from its own stored database. After searching and reading it is provided to the caller mobile terminal 10 by voice (S305).

When the caller who has received the sound source information by voice selects one sound source among the sound source information by operating a key button (S306), the ARS system 40 plays the sound source selected by the caller and provides the caller with music (S307). In this case, the caller notifies the registered sound source that the user wants to register the service by pressing a specific key button if the music he wants to register is the music being heard (S308).

If the incoming music is not the music to be registered, the caller selects another sound source of the voice guided sound source information and repeats the process of listening to the playback music from the ARS system 40. The final choice is the ring tone to download music.

When the ARS system 40 knows the sound source to be downloaded to the caller through the above-described process, the sound source providing server to determine whether the sound source selected by the caller can be serviced and the download to the caller mobile terminal can be performed through a conventional method. In step 60, the caller requests the caller to download the last selected sound source while providing the caller's phone number and the caller's identification code of the last selected sound source (S309).

Then, the sound source providing server 60 allows the caller mobile terminal 10 to be connected to itself in a conventional manner. That is, a data call path is established with the caller mobile terminal 10 (S310).

There are two main methods for setting a data currency according to the conventional method.

First, the sound source providing server 60 requests a wireless data channel setting with the base station controller corresponding to the current of the caller mobile phone 10, and the base station controller performs service negotiation with the caller mobile terminal. Allow a data channel to be established between mobile terminals. When the data channel is set in this way, the caller mobile terminal 10 registers the IP and makes a session connection to the sound source providing server 60.

Second, the sound source providing server 60 requests the transmission of the callback URL including the URL information of the sound source providing server 60 through the SMSC (Short Message Service Center), and the SMSC calls back the caller mobile terminal 10. By sending a URL, the caller mobile terminal 10 is connected to the sound source providing server 60 according to the callback URL.

 When the mobile terminal 10 is connected to the sound source providing server 60 through one of the above-described methods, the identification code of the sound source selected by the caller is identified in the self-stored sound source identification code database to determine whether there is the same. It is determined whether the service is available (S311). The sound source identification code stored in the database is preferably information matched with a plurality of sound source information stored in the sound source providing apparatus 20. That is, each index information of the sound sources stored in the sound source providing apparatus 20 is a sound source identification code stored in the broadcast sound source management server 30 itself.

If it is determined that the service is not available, the sound source providing server 60 notifies the mobile terminal 10 of the service impossible (S312). On the other hand, if it is determined that the service is available in the above determination, the sound source providing server 60 checks the specifications of the terminal to provide a sound source conforming to the specification of the caller mobile terminal 10. That is, the sound source providing server 60 obtains the specification information of the caller mobile terminal 10 from the terminal specification information DB 50 using the phone number of the caller mobile terminal 10 (S313).

Then, the sound source providing server 60 grasps the supportable ringtones of the caller mobile terminal 10 through the obtained specification information, and then sends the sound source providing device 20 to the specification (ie, the chord information) of the caller mobile terminal 10. Acquire and obtain the sound source selected by the corresponding caller. When the sound source providing server 60 obtains the sound source requested from the sound source providing apparatus 20, the sound source providing server 60 downloads the obtained sound source to the caller mobile terminal 10 so as to be registered as a ring tone (S314).

On the other hand, the above-described process S310 (set as a data call) of the second embodiment of the present invention may be performed after it is determined that the service is possible through the process S311 (determination of service availability), and in this case, the sound source providing server ( 60) it is preferable to inform the caller mobile terminal 10 of the service unavailable using the SMS.

The technical spirit of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this is by way of example only and not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, it is obvious that any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and imitations without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

The present invention has the effect of allowing the user to download a sound source such as music or music video or effect sound being watched or listened to through a broadcast medium as a ringing tone immediately by using a communication medium such as a mobile terminal or a computer.
