Therefore, by downloading, sorting, or playing the MP3 files, users cannot sort and play songs by artists, albums, and songs that are desired by users. Customizable settings were not possible and could not satisfy the various needs of users.

Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, by using the ID tag information defined in the format of the MP3 file downloaded to the mobile terminal with a built-in MP3 player song title, artist name, album An object of the present invention is to provide a method of arranging and playing music files of a mobile communication terminal, which can facilitate user convenience by providing a method of sorting and playing by artist and album based on information such as name and release year.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a method of sorting and playing music files in a mobile communication terminal with a built-in MP3 player, when the user of the mobile terminal selects the MP3 configuration menu list sorting and playing method A first step of displaying a setting menu on a screen; a second step of displaying a sorting menu by file names, artists, and albums when a user selects a list sorting setting menu in the first step; When the user selects any one of the menus in the step, sorting is performed based on the ID tag information defined in the MP3 file format downloaded in advance according to the sorting condition of the selected menu, and the sorted MP3 list is displayed on the screen. Arranges the list of MP3s displayed on the screen when the playback key is selected by the user in the third and third steps And a fourth step of reproducing in the order in which they have been performed.

In addition, in the first step of the present invention, when the user selects the playback method setting menu, the user displays one song playback, one song repeat, all repeat, random repeat, singer repeat and album repeat on the screen. If any one is selected, a fifth step of reproducing in the sorted order is performed by performing the sorting according to the reproducing condition of the selected menu.

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

1 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of a mobile communication terminal with a built-in MP3 player according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a flowchart illustrating a music file alignment and playback method of the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention, 3 is an exemplary view showing a music file sorting method of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention on the screen, Figure 4 is an exemplary view showing a music file sorting method of the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention on the screen.

First, referring to FIG. 1, a mobile communication terminal 10 having a built-in MP3 player according to the present invention includes a codec unit 12 for digitally processing a voice signal input and output through a handset 11, and the codec unit 12. RF signal processing input / output through) to save and manage various messages transmitted to or received from other communication equipments, and to download and store MP3 files through Internet connection according to user's request, and to sort and play by users If a condition is entered, MSM (Mobile Station Mode; 13) performs sorting using the ID tag (TAG) information defined in the MP3 file format, displays it on the screen, and plays the MP3 files in sorted order when the play key is selected. And MP3 files, such as MP3 files, downloaded directly through the Internet or downloaded through a USB port of a personal computer, based on the control signal of the MSM 13. MP3 player 14 for restoring audio data to PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) data and converting it into an analog audio signal for playback, and an earphone for outputting an analog audio signal reproduced from the MP3 player 14 in stereo ( 15) and a memory unit 16 for storing the downloaded MP3 file according to the control signal of the MSM 13 and separately storing the sorted data using ID tag information defined in the stored MP3 file format, and the MSM ( And various menus based on the display control signal of the MSM 13 and the keypad 17 provided with a plurality of function setting keys and scroll keys, a plurality of numeric and character keys, which are provided at one end and input by a user. And an LCD display unit 18 for displaying the MP3 configuration, arrangement setting, playback method setting menu, and playback screen.

Hereinafter, a music file sorting and playing method according to the present invention will be described based on the mobile communication terminal having the above-described configuration.

As shown in Figure 2, the mobile communication terminal 10, in the general call waiting state (S10), when the user operates the keypad 17 as necessary to select the MP3 configuration menu (S11), The MSM 13 displays the MP3 configuration menu screen on the LCD display unit 18 as shown in FIG. Here, the MP3 configuration menu is divided into an internal screen setting, an external screen setting, a list sorting setting, a playback method setting, and the like and displayed as a screen.

When the MP3 configuration menu is displayed on the screen, when the user inputs a desired menu such as a numeric key or scrolls the menu bar to select a list sorting setting menu (S12), the MSM 13 The corresponding submenu of the selected list sort setting menu is displayed as shown in FIG. 3 (S13). Here, the list sort setting menu is divided into file name sort, sort by artist, sort by album, and the like, and displayed on the screen.

When the list sorting setting menu is displayed on the screen, when the user selects a corresponding menu, for example, a mantissa sorting menu (S13), the MSM 13 reads mantissa sort data stored in the memory unit 16. As shown in FIG. 3, an MP3 list menu screen is displayed (S14), and a playback key displayed on the screen is selected (S15).                     

In the playback key checking step (S15), when the playback key is selected, the MP3 list displayed on the screen is sequentially played and output through the earphone 15 (S16).
