For example, a process such as playback for 10 seconds after the start, response to a call, request for a call, and reproduction after a call may be performed. If there is a code for stopping playback in the subscriber indication information code, a process of stopping existing playback may be performed.

In addition, there is a code for identifying a telephone service and a message service in the subscriber indication information code to distinguish between a call request and a message transfer request so that different subscriber indication information is reproduced.

5 is a diagram illustrating a process of reproducing and changing subscriber display information when a state is changed according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

5 is a continuous process of the process illustrated in FIG. 4, in which caller indication information is reproduced in the caller communication terminal 200 according to a communication request such as a call transmission or a message transmission of the caller communication terminal (S500). The caller indication information is reproduced in the called party communication terminal 202 (S502).

Subsequently, when the called party recognizes the communication request and responds to the call origination or message transmission request, the telephone company 204 receives the called party call response signal from the called party communication terminal 202 (S504). The terminal 200 transmits the data to the terminal 200 (S506).

As described above, when the communication request of the caller communication terminal 200 is changed from the standby state to the response state, the subscriber indication information code transmitted by the telephone company 204 in FIG. If the subscriber display information change play code is included in the caller communication terminal 202, the playback of the standby caller display information that is previously played is stopped, and the caller display information for the call (response) is reproduced (S508). The callee display information for the call is reproduced in the communication terminal 200 (S510).

That is, as shown in FIG. 11, in the caller communication terminal 200, the called party indication information 1100 for the communication request may be changed to the called party indication information 1102, as shown in FIG. 12. Likewise, the waiting caller indication information 1200 may be changed to the calling caller indication information 1202 and reproduced in the called party communication terminal 202.

However, when the caller or the called party does not register for the change reproduction of the subscriber indication information when the state changes, the reproduction of the subscriber indication information that was reproduced during the waiting in each communication terminal can be stopped (S508 and S510).

In addition, for the state change such as the termination of the call, the reproduction of the subscriber indication information may be stopped after a predetermined time after the termination of the call.

Also, as shown in FIG. 13, when the text or voice message is transmitted, rather than the telephone call, the called party communication terminal 202 has subscriber display information 1300 for text messages and subscriber display information 1302 for voice messages. Can be recycled.

6 is a diagram illustrating a subscriber presentation information service registration process through a WAP server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A user including a caller and a called party can register a subscriber indication information service and generate subscriber indication information using a wireless application protocol (WAP) through a wireless communication terminal. Access to the subscriber information management server 210 through the WAP server (S600).

The communication terminal may include both the caller communication terminal 200 and the caller communication terminal 202 described above, but for convenience of description, the caller (user) communication terminal 200 registers with the subscriber indication information service. A case of generating subscriber indication information will be described.

If the user is not registered, the subscriber information management server 210 performs a predetermined registration procedure (S602), and transmits user information such as an ID, password, and terminal number input by the user to the user DB 212. Save it.

Thereafter, when the user requests registration of the subscriber indication information service (S604), the subscriber information management server 210 inquires into the database 208 (S606) and checks the information on the subscriber's terminal model (S608).

Here, the information inquiry and confirmation regarding the terminal model is a procedure for confirming whether the user's communication terminal can use the subscriber indication information service according to the present invention, and if the subscriber indication information service is not available, the subscriber information management server ( 210 notifies the caller communication terminal 200 of this, and rejects the registration.

However, if the terminal is available for service in the checking step (S608), the subscriber information management server 210 requests the charging server 206 for the charge corresponding to the service registration (S610).

At this time, if the subscriber information management server 210 receives a response from the charging server 206 that charging is not possible, the subscriber information management server rejects the service registration. If the subscriber information management server 210 normally charges, the subscriber information management server 210 signals the charging process from the charging server 206. In order to receive the subscriber's subscriber indication information service registration to the database 208 (S612).

Thereafter, after the registration operation is completed, the subscriber information management server 210 transmits a registration confirmation signal to the user communication terminal 200 (S614).

7 is a diagram illustrating a process of generating subscriber indication information through a WAP server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 7 illustrates a process of generating subscriber indication information to be reproduced in a counterpart communication terminal or changing already generated subscriber indication information after the caller registers with the subscriber indication information service as shown in FIG. 6. It is.

Referring to FIG. 7, the user communication terminal 200 accesses a subscriber information management server using a WAP (S700).

The subscriber information management server 210 provides an interface screen for inputting a user ID and password, and performs a login procedure for comparing the information input by the user with the information stored in the user DB 212 (S702).

After the login procedure is completed, the subscriber indication information is generated according to the user's selection (S210). Here, as described above, the subscriber indication information relates to the multimedia content played in the counterpart communication terminal selected by the user, and when the user wants to generate the subscriber indication information, the subscriber information management server 210 stores the content DB 214. The user communication terminal 200 combines a single content such as a video, an animation, a picture, and a combination content such as a background, a gender, a face, a head, a body, an arm, a leg, clothes, other items, music, and a string for generating an avatar in the user. Provided to the user to be able to generate the subscriber indication information according to the choices made by the user (S704).

As described above, the user may generate not only the contents provided by the subscriber information management server 210 but also the contents stored in the communication terminal 200 as the subscriber display information.

At this time, the subscriber information management server 210 performs a function of optimizing the capacity and file type of the content produced by the user so that the subscriber display information can be properly reproduced in the counterpart communication terminal.

In the present specification, the term 'generating subscriber indication information' is used consistently, but the generation of subscriber indication information is not only when the user generates initial subscriber indication information but also when the subscriber indication information that is already generated is partially changed and updated. It may include.

In this way, the generated subscriber indication information is stored in the subscriber indication information DB 216.

However, in the case of generating subscriber display information using contents provided by the operator, since a predetermined identification code is assigned to each content, such subscriber display information may not be stored in the subscriber display information DB 216.

Subsequently, the subscriber information management server 210 may assign an identification code for the generated subscriber indication information, and set the information on whether to play the user when the subscriber indication information is reproduced by date, time by time, playback time, and status. The subscriber indication information code including the subscriber indication information identification code, the reproduction time code, the reproduction time point code and the subscriber indication information change reproduction code is generated according to the user's setting (S706).

In this case, the subscriber indication information may be reproduced when the call is received / received or the message is transmitted or received according to the play time and the play time code, for example, for 5 seconds after the call request, when the call is requested, before the answer, after the answer, and after 10 seconds after the call. Can be.

After the subscriber indication information code is generated in this way, a counterpart list is created (S708).

The counterpart list is a list of counterpart communication terminals to which the subscriber indication information is to be reproduced. The counterpart list may include counterpart communication terminals belonging to an individual and a specific group according to a user's setting, and may include all counterpart communication terminals capable of supporting the service. It may be.

When the user inputs at least one counterpart communication terminal number, the subscriber information management server 210 inquires information about the counterpart communication terminal in the database 208 (S710). However, if the user wants to reproduce his / her subscriber indication information for all counterpart communication terminals capable of supporting the service, the above information inquiry process can be omitted.

Through this, the subscriber information management server 210 checks whether the counterpart communication terminal selected by the user is a terminal capable of supporting the service of the subscriber indication information (S712).

Thereafter, the subscriber information management server 210 transmits the generated subscriber indication information and the counterpart list to the user communication terminal 200 (S714), and the user confirms the displayed counterpart list and the reproduced subscriber indication information and then the user communication terminal. In step S716, a confirmation signal is transmitted.

After receiving the user's confirmation signal, the subscriber information management server 210 requests the billing server 206 for billing according to the use of the service (S718). When the billing process is completed, the subscriber information management server 200 corresponds to the user communication terminal 200.
