METHOD FOR PROVIDING MULTIPLE RING BACK TONES AND THEREOF
Technical field
The present invention generally relates to a method for providing multiple
ring-back-tone substitutive sounds, and more particularly, to a method and a device for
providing at least two ring-back-tone substitutive sounds to a caller according to the
condition established by a receiver in advance.
Background art
A call connecting sound or a ring-back-tone refers to a signal tone of making
and providing at a switching center for informing that a call connecting to a receiver's
terminal is attempted to a caller. Recently services that can change a uniform
ring-back-tone fit for a taste of a service subscriber are tendency to be introduced
variously. These services is made up in order to output a ring-back-tone substitutive
sound that the service subscriber sets up instead of a conventional ring-back-tone when
the caller is attempting to call. Various embodiments about these ring-back-tone
substitutive sound services are existing, hereinafter, a ring-back-tone substitutive sound
service provided by a receiver's switching center will be described. When a call connecting to a receiver's terminal subscribed for a ring-back-tone
substitutive sound service is attempted, a caller's switching center attempts to connect a
call to a receiver's switching center at which the receiver's terminal is registered
through a HLR(Home Location Register). If a call connect is completed, the receiver's
switching center check whether or not a receiver's terminal subscribes for the
ring-back-tone substitutive sound service and ask a sound source providing apparatus
which provides the ring-back-tone substitutive sound service for that the receiver's
terminal subscribes for providing a ring-back-tone substitutive sound. Through this step,
it is connected a call line among the sound source providing apparatus, the caller's
switching center and the receiver's switching center. The sound source providing apparatus searches a sound source which the
receiver's terminal sets up in advance and which is based on an identification
information of the receiver's terminal received from the receiver's sv tching center, and
transmits it to a caller's terminal through the call line. If the receiver's terminal replies
while the ring-back-tone substitutive sound is transmitting, the call line between the
receiver's switching center and the sound source providing apparatus is disconnected,
and the call line between the receiver's switching center and the receiver's terminal.
Recently the case that ring-back-tone substitutive sound is used for business
announcement of a company is increasing. Namely, huge effect of marketing is acquired
with a light cost, by providing a company's public-relations CM or an information of
introducing new product during the time from customer attempting to call to mobile
phone for working to connecting a call. However, there are problems as described
thereafter, in order that the ring-back-tone substitutive sound of the personnel in
situation of company is used for marketing. The conventional ring-back-tone
substitutive sound service provided only one ring-back-tone substitutive sound that a
receiver set up in advance, therefore the receiver that sets up business announcement
sound source as ring-back-tone substitutive sound cannot use ring-back-tone
substitutive sound to suit his taste. And nowadays it is not descriminated between a call
for business and a call except business, and business announcement sound source is
playing and transmitting in case of private call being connected in time-band except
business time, therefore it can cause the consequence to invade of privacy or private
property rights.
In addition, until now in case of a ring-back-tone substitutive sound played
shortly, it is provided continuously and repeatedly. For example, in case that a
subscriber sets up self-introduce voice of which play time is within 10 seconds as
ring-back-tone, if a receiver's terminal(namely, a subscriber's terminal) does not
response for a long time, a caller must hear same ring-back-tone substitutive sound
repeatedly.
Technical problem The present invention has been made for solving the above problems, and thus
an object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device for providing
multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sounds selectively or successively according to the
predetermined condition.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device for
providing multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sounds which can acquire excellent
marketing effect with a light cost, by providing business announcement of a company as
ring-back-tone substitutive sound to a caller's terminal using a subscriber's mobile
phone or by providing successively business announcement and ring-back-tone
substitutive sound set up by the subscriber to the caller's terminal. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device
for providing multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sounds, which determines whether it
provides business announcement sound source according to callers or specific time by
setting up various conditions of providing busmess announcements of a company as
ring-back-tone substitutive sound. In addition, an object of the present invention is to
provide a method and a device for providing multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sounds,
which can be set for each time-band of providing business announcements of company
according to each subscriber and thus provides the corresponding benefit to the
time-band set up.

Mode for invention
Hereinafter, a method and a device for providing multiple ring-back-tone
substitutive sound of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to
the attached drawings, putting first embodiments of providing company's business
announcement sound source as ring-back-tone substitutive sound. However, what
illustrates the present invention with reference to embodiments is that any person skilled
in the art to which the present invention pertains can understand easily, not restricted
within business announcement providing service or intro-ring service.
Embodiment 1 :
Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating a multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound
service system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound service system of the present
invention comprises a caller's switching center 110, a receiver's switching center 115, a
HLR(Home Location Register) 120, a sound source providing apparatus 130, a
subscriber database 140 and a multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound source
databases 150 to 152. The caller's switching center 110 and the receiver's switching
center 115 relay a voice call setting up a call line according to a call connecting request
from a caller's terminal 100 to a receiver's terminal 105. At this time, the receiver's
terminal 105 refers to the HLR 120 for knowing a location registered at present and a
kind of service subscribed. The receiver's switching center 115 connects the sound
source providing apparatus 130 through a call line and transmits a ring-back-tone
substitutive sound played and transmitted from the sound source providing apparatus
130 to the caller's terminal 100 till the receiver's terminal 105 answers, if the receiver's
terminal 105 is subscribed for the ring-back-tone substitutive sound service.
If the sound source providing apparatus 130 is requested to provide the
ring-back-tone substitutive sound that the receiver's terminal 105 set up in advance
from the receiver's switching center 115, the sound source providing apparatus 130
extracts the corresponding ring-back-tone substitutive sound source referring to set-up
information stored in the subscriber database 140. The extracted ring-back-tone
substitutive sound source is played and transmitted to the receiver's switching center
115. The subscriber database 140 stores a transmitting condition and storage location of
at least two ring-back-tone substitutive sound source set up in advance corresponding to
the receiver's terminal 105.
Here the transmitting condition is a specified caller or a specified time-band,
which is one among an object, a period and a time-band to apply the multiple
ring-back-tone substitutive sound service. Therefore, in the case of setting up the
transmitting condition, if there is a call connecting request from the specified caller's
terminal 100 (or at the specified time), the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound
service is provided. On the other hand to the caller's terminal 100 not specified, the
multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound service cannot be provided or one
ring-back-tone substitutive sound can be provided. The multiple ring-back-tone
substitutive sound source databases 150 to 152 for providing the multiple
ring-back-tone substitutive sound service can be managed by same businessman or by
separately different businessmen. The multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sounds are at
least two sound source that the subscriber sets up, and one of ring-back-tone substitutive
sounds is chosen, played and outputted according to the predetermined condition when
there is the call connecting request from a caller's terminal.
Fig. 2 is a flow chart showing a method for providing multiple ring-back-tone
substitutive sounds according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
At step 200 and 210, if there is a call connecting request from a caller's
terminal 100 to a receiver's terminal 105, a caller's switching center 110 at which the
caller's terminal 100 is registered connects a call line to a receiver's switching center
115 at which the receiver's terminal 105. The receiver's switching center 115 checks
present location of the receiver's terminal 105 and whether or not it is registered at the
multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound service simultaneously or successively. The
present location of the receiver's terminal 105 and whether or not it is registered at the
multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound service can be checked through the HLR 120
or a communication device having same/similar function. The multiple ring-back-tone
substitutive sound service register information can be managed by the HLR 120,
however preferably the HLR 120 manages only whether or not it is registered at the
ring-back-tone substitutive sound service, and the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive
sound service register information can be managed by a special device(for example, an
intelligence network service management device like SCP(Service Control Point)). For
the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound service, a subscriber must apply in
advance through wire or wireless communication, and information about the requested
multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sounds, transmitting conditions and transmitting
information are stored in the intelligence network service management device.
If the receiver's terminal 105 with which the call connecting is requested is not
registered for the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound service, the receiver's
switching center 115 transmits standard ring-back-tone, and connects a call line when
the receiver's terminal 105 responses.
In case that the receiver's terminal 105 with which the call connecting is
requested does not set up multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sounds though the
receiver's terminal 105 is registered for the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound
service, it proceeds to step 220 where the ring-back-tone substitutive sound registered at
present is outputted to the caller's terminal 100 through the call line connected.
In case that the receiver's terminal 105 with which the call connecting is
requested is registered for the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound service and
sets up multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sounds, it proceeds to step 230.
At step 230, a receiver inquires about predetermined transmitting conditions
and transmitting information. The transmitting condition is a condition for transmitting
one of a plurality of ring-back-tone substitutive sounds set up in advance by the
subscriber(fhe receiver) to the caller's terminal 100, and it is one chosen from the
caller's terminal information, time at which a call connecting was requested and a
combination thereof. It is preferred that the kind of the transmitting condition is
determined in advance by a ring-back-tone substitutive sound service provider. It is
preferred that after the subscriber chooses a plurality of ring-back-tone substitutive
sounds, the subscriber distinguishes between the ring-back-tone substitutive sound of
applying the transmitting condition and the ring-back-tone substitutive sound of not
applying the transmitting condition. Therefore, each ring-back-tone substitutive sound
can be separately applied with different transmitting conditions.
In case that the caller's terminal information is set up as the transmitting
condition, at least one caller's terminal identification information(for example, wire or
wireless phone number, etc.) must be registered. Therefore, the multiple ring-back-tone
substitutive sound service subscriber, the receiver, must register the caller's terminal
identification information corresponding to the ring-back-tone substitutive sound
chosen by himself/herself in advance through a wire or wireless terminal. In case of
setting up time as the transmitting condition at which a call connecting was requested,
the time-band corresponding to each ring-back-tone substitutive sound must be
registered in advance. The transmitting information is the caller's terminal identification
information or the time-band registered according to the transmitting condition.
After inquiring the transmitting condition and the transmitting information,
comparison information corresponding to the pre-selected transmitting condition is
acquired. In case that the transmitting condition is the caller's terminal information, the
identification information of the caller's terminal 100 requesting the call connecting at
present is acquired through the caller's switching center 110 or the receiver's switching
center 115. In case that the transmitting condition is the time-band, the time at that the
call connecting request is received is used as the comparison information.
At step 240, it is determined whether the transmitting information set up in
advance is identical to the comparison information. If it is identical, it proceeds to step
250 that the designated ring-back-tone substitutive sound corresponding to the
transmitting condition is played and transmitted to the caller's terminal 100, however if
it is not, it proceeds to step 220 that the ring-back-tone substitutive sound for which the
transmitting condition is not designated is played and transmitted to the caller's terminal
100. Here, because the ring-back-tone substitutive sound transmitted at step 220
does not have any given transmitting condition, the subscriber can change it arbitrarily.
The ring-back-tone substitutive sound transmitted at step 250 has a particular given
transmitting condition, and according the embodiments, the subscriber cannot change it
arbitrarily. In case that the ring-back-tone substitutive sound is business marketing
announcement of a company, the ring-back-tone substitutive sound having a given
transmitting condition cannot be changed arbitrarily, and it is the case that the
subscriber setting up the business marketing announcement of the company as the
ring-back-tone substitutive sound receives the compensation money of particular
amount.
Fig. 3 is an exemplary diagram showing a method for providing business
announcements of company as ring-back-tone substitutive sound according to a
preferred embodiment of the present invention. The method for providing the multiple
ring-back-tone substitutive sound can be used as means for business marketing
announcements of the company. Therefore, the present invention can be embodied by
concrete embodiment of providing the company's business marketing announcements
as ring-back-tone substitutive sound through company members' mobile phones and
forcing a caller to listen to such company's business marketing announcements. It is
able that only company members can set up company's business marketing
announcements as a ring-back-tone substitutive sound, however, it is preferred that
some subscribers can use company's business marketing announcements on the premise
of particular compensation. The compensation can be provided by paying an appropriate
percentage or sharing an appropriate amount of commumcation fee from the company
requesting company's business marketing announcements as the multiple
ring-back-tone substitutive sounds.
At step 300, the company registers its business announcements as
ring-back-tone substitutive sound and pays a service fee. Here the company can also
provide subscriber information to register its business marketing announcements as a
ring-back-tone substitutive sound. At step 310, company members or general subscribers set up company's
business marketing announcements registered through wire or wireless terminal as the
ring-back-tone substitutive sound. Ring-back-tone substitutive sound that each
subscriber can freely set up or change is a free ring-back-tone substitutive sound source,
and ring-back-tone substitutive sound that each subscriber cannot freely set up or
change according to a compensation agreement is a forced ring-back-tone substitutive
sound source(company's business marketing announcement). A company limits the
number of subscribers in advance, and can register collectively those company members
as subscribers. But a company can circulate only certification information necessary to
subscribe to the company members, and make members themselves apply to subscribe.
Further, without limitation on numbers a company can make general subscribers use
company's business marketing announcements. In this case, information about
subscribers, that set up company's business marketing announcements sound source as
ring-back-tone substitutive sound at present, can be made and provided to the company
periodically or by request, or be used for system management and the like by a service
provider that provides the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound. Further, the
number of every subscriber's transmissions and so on is recorded and provided to the
company periodically or by request, or is used for system management and the like by a
service provider that provides the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound. Specially,
because a subscriber can set up the transmitting condition not to be effective(for
example, in case that a subscriber controls time-band or registers too many objects to
listen to free ring-back-tone substitutive sound source), transmitting record must be
recorded for managing subscribers.
At step 320, when a call is sent to a subscriber setting up company's business
marketing announcements, the caller hears the company's business marketing
announcements as ring-back-tone substitutive sound. Of course, free ring-back-tone
substitutive sound source set up by each subscriber is played as ring-back-tone
substitutive sound in case that the call does not satisfy the transmitting condition set up
by a company or each subscriber.
At step 330, a communication fee of each subscriber setting up the company's
business marketing announcements periodically is billed after subtracting the agreed
amount from the used communication fee.

center 110, a receiver's switching center 115, HLR 120, a sound source providing
apparatus 130, a subscriber database 440, multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound
source databases 150 to 151, and an intro-ring sound source database 452. The caller's
switching center 110 and the receiver's switching center 115 relay a voice call by
setting up a call line according to a call connecting request from a caller's terminal 100
to a receiver's terminal 105. At this time, the receiver's terminal 105 refers to the HLR
120 for knowing a location registered at present and a kind of service subscribed. The
receiver's switching center 115 connects the sound source providing apparatus 130 with i a call line and transmits a ring-back-tone substitutive sound played and transmitted from
the sound source providing apparatus 130 to the caller's terminal 100 till the receiver's
terminal 105 answers, if the receiver's terminal 105 is subscribed for the ring-back-tone
substitutive sound service. If the sound source providing apparatus 130 is requested to provide the
ring-back-tone substitutive sound that the receiver's terminal 105 set up in advance
from the receiver's switching center 115, the sound source providing apparatus 130
extracts the corresponding ring-back-tone substitutive sound source referring to the
set-up information stored in the subscriber database 440. The extracted ring-back-tone
substitutive sound source is played and transmitted to the receiver's switching center
115. The subscriber database 440 stores a transmitting condition and storage location
for at least two ring-back-tone substitutive sound source set up in advance
corresponding to the receiver's terminal 105. Further, in case that a receiver sets up the
transmitting condition, the subscriber database 440 stores additional transmitting
condition. Here the transmitting condition is a specified caller or a specified time-band,
which is one chosen from an object, a period and a time-band to apply the multiple
ring-back-tone substitutive sound service. Therefore, in case of setting up the
transmitting condition, if there is a call connecting request from the specified caller's
terminal 100 (or at the specified time), the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound
service is provided. On the other hand the caller's terminal 100 not specified, the
multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound service cannot be provided or one
ring-back-tone substitutive sound can be provided.
The multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound source databases 150 to 151 for
providing the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound service can be managed by
same businessman or by separately different businessmen. The intro-ring database 452
stores and manages intro-ring sound sources. The multiple ring-back-tone substitutive
sounds are at least two sound sources that the subscriber sets up, are played and
outputted successively according to the condition set up in advance when there is a call
connecting request from a caller's terminal. Intro-ring is a kind of ring-back-tone
substitutive sound and sound source that has short play time generally, and it is played
and outputted faster than ring-back-tone substitutive sound set up by a subscriber. Here
the intro-ring is company's business announcement, that is tones for marketing
messages of a specified company or ads of a specified product. In another embodiment,
the intro-ring can be personal salutation of each subscriber. Therefore, each subscriber
can use the intro-ring in order to introduce himself or inform his own situation(for
example, "Hello, I am in abroad on a business trip. Please leave a voice memo for
making contact with you immediately when I come back homeland," etc.). The
embodiment of using the intro-ring is described referring to fig. 5 and 6.
Concrete functions of the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound service
system having the organization described above in fig. 4 is described referring to fig. 5.
At step 500, if there is a call connecting request from a caller's terminal 100 to
a receiver's terminal 105, a caller's switching center 110 at which the caller's terminal
100 is registered connects a call line to a receiver's switching center 115 at which the
receiver's terminal 105. The receiver's switching center 115 checks present location of
the receiver's terminal 105 and whether or not it is registered for the multiple
ring-back-tone substitutive sound service simultaneously or successively. The present
location of the receiver's terminal 105 and whether or not it is registered for the
multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound service can be checked through the HLR 120
or a communication device having same/similar function to the HLR 120.
If the receiver's terminal 105 with which the call connecting is requested is not
registered for the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound service, the receiver's
switching center 115 transmits a standard ring-back-tone, and connects a call line when
the receiver's terminal 105 responses. At step 510, the sound source providing apparatus 130 refers to the subscriber
database 440 and determines whether the receiver's terminal 105 with which the call
connecting is requested is subscribed for the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound
service. As a result of decision, in case that the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive
sound is not set up, there is progressing to step 520 that the ring-back-tone substitutive
sound registered at present is outputted to the caller's terminal 100 through the call line.
In case that that the receiver's terminal 105 with which the call connecting is requested
is subscribed for the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound service and sets up a
plurality of ring-back-tone substitutive sounds, there is progressing to step 530.
At step 530, the receiver stored in the subscriber database 440 extracts the
stored location and the play condition of the ring-back-tone substitutive sound source
set up in advance. Here in case that the receiver sets up play sequence and the stored
location of the ring-back-tone substitutive sound source is stored in the subscriber
database 440 according to the play sequence set up, a separate play condition cannot be
extracted. The play condition is one chosen from (1) playing a plurality of
ring-back-tone substitutive sounds in the sequence set up by the receiver(endowing the
priority order to the ring-back-tone substitutive sound), (2) playing in the sequence that
plays first the ring-back-tone substitutive sound having shorter play time or longer play
time based on the play time, and (3) playing first the intro-ring if the intro-ring is
included. Further, in case of (3) the receiver can set up the output time of the intro-ring.
That is, though the intro-ring, the company's business announcements, is played first, it
is preferred that each subscriber can set up the output time of the intro-ring referring to
the condition endowed for playing the intro-ring. For example, let's suppose that the
basic play time of the A company's intro-ring is 15 seconds and if the subscriber sets up
the output time is 1 to 5 seconds, the subscriber is provided with a 100 won(10 cents)
discount per month, if 6 to 10 seconds, a 200 won(20 cents) discount, if 11 to 15
seconds, a 300 won(30 cents) discount, if over 16 seconds, a 1000 won(l dollar)
discount. If the receiver selects the output time of the intro-ring by considering the
benefit to be given, the receiver is provided the corresponding discount. Similarly, a
company can provide more benefits to subscribers outputting its intro-ring for a long
time, and attract subscribers positively.
Additionally, a transmitting condition set up in advance by a receiver is made
reference. The transmitting condition is a condition for transmitting a plurality of
ring-back-tone substitutive sounds set up in advance by a subscriber(the receiver) to the
caller's terminal 100, and it is one chosen from the caller's terminal information, time at
which a call connecting is requested, and a combination thereof. Description of the
transmitting condition is omitted because of describing in detail above.
After inquiring the transmitting condition, comparison information
corresponding to the pre-selected transmitting condition is acquired. In case that the
transmitting condition is the caller's terminal information, the identification information
of the caller's terminal 100 requesting the call connecting at present is acquired by the
caller's switching center 110 or the receiver's switching center 115. In case that the
transmitting condition is the time-band, the time at that the call connecting, request is
received is used as the comparison information.
At step 540, it is determined whether the comparison information acquired
corresponds to the transmitting condition. If the comparison information is identical to
the transmitting condition, there is progressing to step 550 that the ring-back-tone
substitutive sounds set up corresponding to the play condition and the transmitting
condition is successively played and transmitted to the caller's terminal 100. On the
other hand, if it is not, there is progressing to step 520 that the ring-back-tone
substitutive sound of which the transmitting condition is not set up is played and
transmitted to the caller's terminal 100. The process of playing successively the
ring-back-tone substitutive sounds and transmitting them to the caller's terminal 100 is
executed according to the steps as described hereinafter. The ring-back-tone substitutive
sound source satisfying the play condition is chosen from at least two ring-back-tone
substitutive sound sources and played. Here in case that the play condition includes the
output time, each ring-back-tone substitutive sound source is played during the output
time set up, and then next ring-back-tone substitutive sound source is played. If play is
completed, the ring-back-tone substitutive sound source corresponding to the play
condition is chosen from the remaining ring-back-tone substitutive sound sources
excluding the played ring-back-tone substitutive sound. If end of play is detected again,
the process as described above is repeated.
Fig. 6 is an exemplary diagram for illustrating intro-ring service according to
another preferred embodiment of the present invention. The method for providing the multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sound can be
used for marketing purpose of companies. That is, the present invention can be
embodied by concrete embodiment of providing company's business announcements as
the intro-ring, that of the ring-back-tone substitutive sound played first among a
plurality of ring-back-tone substitutive sounds through company members' mobile
phones and forcing a caller to listen to company's business announcements. It is able
that only company members can set up company's business announcements as the
intro-ring, however, it is preferred that some subscribers can use company's business
announcements on the premise of particular compensation. Such compensation can be
obtained with an appropriate percentage or sharing an appropriate amount of
communication fee from the company requesting company's business marketing
announcements as the intro-ring.
At step 600, the company registers its business marketing announcements as the
intro-ring and pays the corresponding service fee. Here the company can also provide
subscriber information to register the business marketing announcements as the
intro-ring.
At step 610, company members or general subscribers set up the company's
business marketing announcements registered through wire or wireless terminal as the
intro-ring. The company defines the number of subscribers in advance, and can register
collectively those company members as subscribers. But the company can circulate only
certification information necessary to subscribe to the company members, and make
members themselves apply to subscribe. Further, without limitation on numbers
company can make general subscribers use the intro-ring. In this case, information
about subscribers that set up the company's business marketing announcements as the
intro-ring can be made and provided to the company periodically or by request, or be
used for system management and so on by a service provider that provides the multiple
ring-back-tone substitutive sound. Further, the number of every subsriber's
transmissions and so on is recorded and provided to the company periodically or by
request, or is used for system management and so on by a service provider. Specially,
because a subscriber can set up the transmitting condition not to be effective(for
example, in case that a subscriber controls time-band or registers too few objects to
listen to the intro-ring), transmitting record must be recorded for managing subscribers.
At step 620, when a call is sent to a subscriber setting up the company's
business marketing announcement, the caller hears the intro-ring as the ring-back-tone
substitutive sound. Of course, after the short intro-ring playing, the other ring-back-tone
substitutive sound sources set up by each subscriber is played.
At step 630, a communication fee of each subscriber setting up the intro-ring
periodically is billed after subtracting the agreed amount from the used communication
fee
As described above, the present disclosure explained the method and the device
for providing multiple ring-back-tone substitutive sounds referring to embodiments.
However, the present invention is not limited by the embodiments, and those skilled in
the art will recognize that many other implementations are possible, consistent with the
present invention. Further, the scope of the present invention is defined by only the
following claims.
Industrial applicability
As described above, according to the present invention, the subscribers can
selectively or successively provide two or more of ring-back-tone substitutive sounds
setting up a plurality of ring-back-tone substitutive sound to a caller's terminal.
Applying this, marketing messages of companies can be provided as the multiple
ring-back-tone substitutive sound using the company members' mobile phones, and thus
the company can take advantages for effective marketing purpose. Further, because the
company members can distinguish between caller in connection with company business
and caller in connection with personal affair or between business time and personal time,
and provide selectively the company's business announcement sound source and
personal sound source as the ring-back-tone substitutive sound, the problem like
invasion of privacy or private property rights can be prevented.
