It is the current reality that wired or wireless telephones are installed one by one in every home and the number of mobile telephones being used are on a so explosively increasing trend that the demand for them cannot be foreseen.
When such a mobile telephone or wired or wireless telephone attempts a call connection to a subscriber number (i.e., a telephone number) of a desired communication terminal, it is common that a given period of waiting time is present from a point of call connection attempt time until a point of call termination time the call connection is established. For such a period of waiting time, a switching center checks whether a called subscriber line is in use and then sends a busy tone signal to the calling party if the called subscriber line is in use. In the case where the called subscriber line is availably empty, the switching center sends a calling tone signal to the called party and, at the same time, a ring back tone signal to the calling party. Generally, the busy tone signal has short sounds repeated (i.e., toot-toot-toot...) and the ring back tone signal has long sounds repeated (i.e., toot—toot—toot...). The calling tone signal is generated to inform the user of the called communication terminal that an incoming call has terminated at the called terminal.
However, the user of the calling communication terminal may get irritated with a speech disable state while hearing either the busy tone sounds or ring back tone sounds . Further, in the case where the period of waiting time for the call connection establishment is long, the user of the calling party may feel bored with the ring back tone sounds being repeatedly heard, which may lead to uneasiness in his emotion. Disclosure of the Invention
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a ring back tone/busy tone selection-type communication terminal which is capable of letting the user hear desired music or advertisement information voices instead of either a busy tone or ring back tone for a period of waiting time until a call connection is established. In accordance with the present invention, the above and other objects can be accomplished by a provision of a ring back tone/busy tone selection-type communication terminal comprising a transmitter for transmitting a call originating signal at a predetermined transmission frequency to attempt a call connection to a called party, a receiver for receiving any one of a busy tone signal and ring back tone signal from a switching center for a period of waiting time for the establishment of the call connection and a signal processor for processing the call originating signal transmitted from the transmitter and the busy tone signal or ring back tone signal received by the receiver, wherein the communication terminal further comprises a detector for detecting any one of the busy tone signal and ring back tone signal from the receiver and outputting an associated detection signal; a determination unit for determining in response to the detection signal from the detector which one of the busy tone signal and ring back tone signal is received by the receiver; and audio output means for outputting any one of a music signal and information voice signal to the user in accordance with the result determined by the determination unit .
Preferably, the audio output means may include a memory for storing the information voice signal and music signal; a controller connected between the determination unit and the memory for reading any one of the music signal and information voice signal from the memory in response to an output signal from the determination unit; and a speaker for outputting the music signal or information voice signal read from the memory to the user so that it can be heard by the user.
