First, set the ringtone in the mobile terminal. Preview the ringtone to be played, accept the user's pause command and pause the preview during the preview. The user can set the paused position to the start position or end position of the ringtone playback. For example: The user can first set a first start position as the start position, and then pause and then set a second time during the next ringtone preview process. A termination bit is used as the termination position, the mobile terminal accepts the user's settings and records the first start bit and/or the first termination bit, and then ends the preview.

Next, the user sets the type of ringtone play. This embodiment provides two types of ringtone play: loop play and play from the beginning. among them,

The loop playing, that is, each time the ringtone is played, such as when the ringtone is played by the incoming call, the position where the last ringing play is terminated is started as the starting position, until the ringing ends, when the first playing ends, Setting a certain position set by the user, such as the first starting position, to the starting position of the ringtone to replay the ringtone until the end of the ringing tone ends;

The playing from the beginning is to start from the starting position of the ringtone of the mobile terminal to the ending position. The ringtone playing in this embodiment includes the following steps:

510. When the mobile terminal plays the ringtone, obtain a starting position and a ending position at the time of initialization. If the user sets the first start bit and the first stop bit, the first start bit and the first stop bit are used as the start position and the end position at the initialization; if not set, the default start position of the ringtone is played as a ringtone. The starting position and ending position.

Here, in the present embodiment, for the sake of distinction, the default starting position is referred to as a second start bit and a second stop bit.

511. Determine the play type. If the play type is played from the beginning, the process goes to step S13, and if it is loop play, the process goes to step S12.

S12. Set the position where the last ringtone playback is terminated to the starting position of the playback at this time, and proceed to step S13.

513. Play the playing ringtone from the starting position.

514. Determine whether the ringtone is interrupted during the ringtone playing, if the answering call causes the ringing tone to be interrupted, etc. If the interrupt is interrupted, the process goes to step S16, and if the ringtone is played to the end position without interruption, the process goes to step S15.

Step S15: The start bit obtained at the time of initialization is used as the starting position of the ringtone playing, and the process returns to step S13.

Here, the first start bit or the second start bit acquired at the time of initialization may be used as the start position of the ringtone playback.

Step S16: Record the position when the ringtone is interrupted, and end the process.

The purpose of recording the position when the ringtone is interrupted is to use the position as the starting position of the next loop playback, such as when the looping of the ringtone is started again.

In this embodiment, the starting time of the music playing can be conveniently selected, and can be synchronously set to the desired playing mode, such as: playing from the beginning or looping. The invention combines a plurality of operation processes, simplifies the operation, and realizes the user's convenient and diverse needs.
