In the embodiment of the present invention, the analog signal from the external service system is divided into two lines, one line is connected to the communication module (corresponding to the narrowband line), and the other line is connected to the modem (corresponding to the broadband line).

Wherein, the modem can be disposed in the display module, that is, belongs to the terminal device; It can be set separately, that is, it is set outside the terminal device. Used to convert between analog and digital signals.

The splitter can also be set in the terminal device or set outside the terminal device.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a method for implementing a CRBT service by using a terminal device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. A detailed description of a CRBT service implementation scheme is provided below.

The calling terminal initiates a call request to the call center through the communication module, and the calling terminal uses the terminal device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and the called terminal does not limit.

The call request is sent to the call center, and the call center initiates a call request to the called terminal.

After the called terminal starts ringing, it returns a call response to the call center; the call center returns a call response to the calling terminal.

The call center sends a CRBT file location acquisition request to the multimedia CRBT system according to the information of the called terminal, that is, the multimedia CRBT system queries the called terminal user whether the CRBT service is customized. If customized, the multimedia CRBT system returns to the called terminal user customization. The location information of the ring tone is given to the call center. The location information may be in the form of a URL, but is not limited to this form. The location information may accurately describe the location of the ringtone file customized by the called terminal user, and may also be used by the terminal to obtain the CRBT file. The call center sends the CRBT file location information to the communication module of the calling terminal.

The communication module of the calling terminal receives the CRBT file location information sent by the call center through the narrowband line, and sends control information for starting the ring tone to the display module, that is, sending the CRBT file location information to the display module.

The display module downloads the CRBT file through the broadband line according to the location information of the CRBT file, and plays the CRBT file at the same time. That is, the display module sends an Ethernet data signal of the CRBT file acquisition request message to the multimedia CRBT system, where the CRBT file location information is carried; the display module acquires the Ethernet data signal of the CRBT file acquisition response message sent by the multimedia CRBT system, which includes the CRBT file. . When the called terminal starts to answer the call, it sends a receiving notification request message from the called terminal to the call center, and the call center forwards the message to the communication module of the calling terminal.

The communication module of the calling terminal sends a request to stop playing the CRBT file to the display module to stop the ring back tone that the display module is acquiring and playing. After the display module stops acquiring and playing the CRBT, it returns a response to stop the CRBT file playback to the communication module. After receiving the response, the communication module starts to answer the call, that is, sends an answer notification response message to the call center, and the call center receives the answer notification response message. Forward to the called terminal.

In summary, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the calling terminal sends a call request to the called terminal, the CRBT file location information corresponding to the called terminal is obtained through the narrowband line; the calling terminal passes the broadband according to the CRBT file location information. The CRBT file is downloaded from the line, thereby realizing the CRBT service based on the narrowband line and the broadband line, so that the playback effect of the CRBT is better. That is, the separation of control and data is achieved through the cooperation of broadband and narrowband. The terminal device implemented by the embodiment of the present invention implements narrowband service control and broadband data transmission, and the implementation manner is a user who has a traditional fixed telephone and temporarily gives up the number, and has a narrowband and broadband network but does not have Construction

The operator of the IMS network provides a solution to experience broadband services using narrowband numbers, which is extremely practical.
