The ringback service control unit 320 can provide information on the additional service condition set by the called terminal apparatus 102 that is currently connected to the call in response to a request from the call service apparatus 200. [ Further, in response to a request from the call service apparatus 200, the ringback service control unit 320 determines whether the current call connection request satisfies the supplementary service condition set by the called terminal apparatus 102, (And message) to be provided to the calling-side terminal device 101 to the call service apparatus 200. In another embodiment of the present invention, the ringback service control unit 320 may directly transmit the electronic coupon (and message) to the calling party's terminal device 101 without going through the call service device 200 .

The storage unit 330 is a structure for storing data and programs necessary for operation of the ring back service apparatus 300. [ Specifically, the additional service condition set for each user can be mapped to the terminal device information of the corresponding user and stored.

Hereinafter, an additional service providing method using a ringback mode based on the above-described devices will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.

For reference, the supplementary service using the ringback mode according to the present invention may be centered on the terminal device 100, or may be centered on the ringback service device 300.

5 and 6, an additional service method using a ringback mode by the terminal device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Referring to FIG. 5, the terminal device 100 confirms whether there is a request for setting a ringback mode-based supplementary service (S110). This can be done by checking whether the user input signal output from the input unit 120 is a setup request signal of a ringback mode-based supplementary service. The ringback all-based supplementary service setting request is output through the display unit 130 as one of the menu items of the user-selectable terminal device 100, and when the user selects the ringback-based supplementary service setting request, A signal may be generated.

As a result of the checking, if the user requests the ringback mode-based supplementary service setting, the terminal device 100 transmits the electronic coupon, the message to be transmitted together with the electronic coupon, the transmission point of the electronic coupon, The above is set as an additional service condition (S120). The step S120 may be performed through the ringback service module 162 of the control unit 160.

5, if the call connection request is received from another terminal device after setting the supplementary service condition (S130), the terminal device 100 satisfies the supplementary service condition set in step S120 (S140). For example, it is judged whether or not the call connection request is received at the calling side terminal device, and the time (year / month / day / hour / minute) at which the call connection request is received matches the preset additional service condition.

If it is determined in step S130 that the source terminal device that has transmitted the call connection request and the time point (year / month / day / hour / minute) of the call connection request match the supplementary service condition, And transmits the preset electronic coupon (and message) to the calling terminal device (S150). Here, the transmission of the electronic coupon (and the message) may be performed through the call service apparatus 200 and the ring back service apparatus 300. [ That is, either the call service device 200 or the ringback service device 300 can transmit the designated electronic coupon (and message) to the calling-side terminal device in response to a request from the terminal device 100. [ In addition, the transmission of the electronic coupon may be performed while the call connection is established, and may be displayed on the calling user interface screen of the calling terminal device.

Conversely, after the terminal device 100 makes a call connection request to another terminal device (called terminal device), the terminal device 100 may receive an electronic coupon (and a message) in accordance with the additional service condition set by the called terminal device.
