As shown in FIG. 1, the figure exemplarily describes a process in which a sender sends a voice message and a background tone in a voice message. First, the sender records a voice message through the portal system, fills in the number of the recipient, and selects the background sound. The portal system assigns a voice message number to the voice message, and establishes a correspondence between the voice message number and the background sound number, thereby establishing a correspondence relationship between the voice message and the background sound.

The background sound selected by the sender of the voice message through the portal system may be the background sound already stored by the file storage system, or may be a custom background sound uploaded by the sender. For background sounds stored in the file storage system, the portal system stores corresponding background sound numbers. The background sound number can reflect the storage path of the corresponding background sound in the file storage system. When the portal system plays the voice message to the receiver, the corresponding background sound can be found in the file storage system according to the background sound number. The voice message number can also reflect the storage path of the corresponding voice message in the file storage system. When the portal system plays the voice message to the receiver, the corresponding voice message can be found in the file storage system according to the voice message number.

If the sender of the voice message selects an existing background sound through the portal system, the portal system establishes a correspondence between the voice message number and the background sound number. If the sender does not select the background sound, the portal system may randomly assign a background sound. And then establishing a correspondence between the voice message number and the background sound number; if the sender uploads the custom background sound, the portal system assigns the background sound number to the background sound and records, and then establishes a relationship between the voice message number and the background sound number. Correspondence. In the solution of the present invention, the user can select different background sounds according to his or her own preference, or upload a custom background sound, which satisfies the personalized needs of the user.

The service control system stores the voice message in the file storage system. If the sender also uploads a custom background sound, the background sound and the voice message are stored together in the file storage system; Information such as the sender number, the recipient number, the voice message number, the background sound number corresponding to the voice message number, whether it has been played, or the like is stored in the data storage system.
