Description

SENDER'S IDENTITY INDICATION METHOD IN MOBILE PHONE
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method of indicating a sender's identity (ID) using a speaker's image identity (SPIID) which includes image files or multimedia files in a mobile communications terminal, and more particularly to, a sender's identity (ID) indication method for indicating a SPIID which includes a digital image file such as a picture, character, motion image, cartoon, animation, trademark, and corporate logo and a multimedia file including music, voice messages of ten words or so and natural sound in the digital image, on a terminal display window, when a call request, voice message, email and the like are transmitted using a 4-generation (4G) terminal, or a digital communications terminal such as a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) terminal/ PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) terminal, notebook personal computer, and IMT2000 terminal. Further, the present invention relates to a method for indicating a sender's ID using a SPIID, which can align the number of times of using a SPIID and its ranking by popular favor, and simultaneously put in effect an event of exceeding a predetermined number of times or users of using SPIID to thereby provide a benefit service such as free calls or prize money to a user selected whenever the number of times of using the SPIID or the number of users using the SPIID exceeds a predetermined number of times or a predetermined number, irrespective of the digital file or multimedia files.
Background Art
As is well known, mobile communications terminals such as portable phones cannot only make a phone call using voice but also store character or voice messages and confirm and transmit the stored character or voice message as desired. Accordingly, when senders' phone numbers or names are stored in conventional mobile communications terminals, senders can be identified through the terminals. That is, receivers can identify each of senders through the conventional mobile communications terminals when phone calls are received from the senders, since the senders' phone numbers or names are displayed on a receiver's display window.
However, the conventional technology is burdensome since a sender's phone number or name is provided as character information . and thus a receiver should read received information each and every information in order to identify a sender on a receiver display window.
In other wise, since only a sender's phone number or name is displayed as a simple text when sender's indication is put into effect in the case of the conventional art, users who are accustomed to use video media are tired of using his or her terminal. It is also burdensome that it takes time for a receiver to read data in order to identify a sender.
Further, when a call request or email is sent using a mobile communications terminal in the conventional art, there is no event for users such as gift of free call services or prize money. Accordingly, programs that induce users to be interested in use of their terminals are not supplied to users.
Disclosure of the Invention
To solve the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sender's identity (ID) indication method for indicating a speaker's image identity (SPIID) which includes a digital image file such as a picture, character, motion image, cartoon, animation, trademark, and corporate logo and a multimedia file including music, voice messages of ten words or so and natural sound in the digital image, on a terminal display window, when a call request, voice message, email and the like are transmitted using a 4-generation (4G) terminal, or a digital communications terminal such as a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) terminal, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) terminal, notebook personal computer, and IMT2000 terminal.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for indicating a sender's ID using a SPIID, which includes image files or multimedia files in a mobile communications terminal, and which can align the number of times of using a SPIID and its ranking by popular favor.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a method for indicating a sender ' s ID using a SPIID, which includes image files or multimedia files in a mobile communications terminal, and which can put in effect an event of exceeding a predetermined number of times or users of using SPIID to thereby provide a benefit service such as free calls or prize money to a user selected whenever the number of times of using the SPIID or the number of users using the SPIID exceeds a predetermined number of times or a ■ predetermined number, irrespective of a type of SPIID files such as digital or multimedia files. It is yet another object of the present' invention to provide a method for indicating a sender's ID using a SPIID which includes image files or multimedia files in a mobile communications terminal, and which can enhance corporate images, and activation of an advertizement market and use of mobile communications- terminals.
To accomplish the above object of the present invention, according to the present invention, there is provided a method for indicating a sender's identity (ID) using a speaker's image identity (SPIID) in a mobile communications terminal, which displays a sender's SPIID on a receiver's terminal, the sender's ID indication method comprising the steps of: accessing a wireless Internet via a controller of a sender's terminal; searching a speaker's image identity (SPIID) from an image stock which stores SPIIDs as a database in which the SPIIDs are made in advance via a server; selecting a user's desired SPIID; selecting whether or not the selected SPIID will be indicated together with a sender's phone number; setting the selected SPIID to be indicated together with the sender's phone number if a user desires the SPIID to be indicated with the sender's phone number indication, and the former not to be indicated together with the sender's phone number if not; storing the set SPIID as the set result; making a phone call; transmitting the stored SPIID; and indicating the SPIID on a receiver's terminal.
Accordingly, the stored SPIID is displayed as a sender's specific image on a receiver's terminal display window whenever a sender makes a phone call until the sender deletes or alters the stored SPIID, to thereby make a receiver easily identify the SPIID and recognize the sender.
