Abstract

PURPOSE: A method of downloading and hearing melodies during a phone waiting time is provided to alleviate tediousness while the waiting time by hearing a preference melody instead of ring back tone. CONSTITUTION: A user downloads a preference melody in a cellular phone before calling. The downloaded melody starts being played when the user pushes a 'SEND' button on the phone to call. A mobile station and a base station transmit/receive messages to contact other phones. If the phone is busy, the melody is stopped and busy tone is transmitted. If a response signal is transferred, the melody is stopped.

Description

How to download and listening to the melody using the certain period of the time between pushing the send from the start of the call to the reception of the other party's signal (answer / busy / missed) button of the mobile phone and receiving the signal from the called party}

The present invention will be described in detail by listening to the melody downloaded by the user by using a predetermined time from the start of the call to the other party's signal (answer / busy / missed) is received as follows. When the mobile subscriber presses the telephone number and presses the SEND button, the mobile terminal transmits a melody at a certain time when a silent state and ringback tone are transmitted, and recognizes a busy tone from the base station or receives a counterpart response signal. Once delivered, the melody will immediately stop and either hear a busy tone or make a call available. This is the time that the caller is waiting for the other party's response, so you can listen to the melody while checking the call connection state without interrupting the call, thereby reducing the boredom of the caller waiting for the other party's response. In the case of a mobile phone, there is a silent state of about 3-5 seconds while the subscriber sends and receives a message with the base station after initiation of the call, and it takes about 3-10 seconds to receive a response from the subscriber. You can take advantage of this time by holding your phone for 15 seconds and waiting for a response. In addition, if the other subscriber does not respond, it can be used for about 20-40 seconds depending on the mobile carrier. This melody should be downloaded by the subscriber to the operator's system and stored in the terminal.

To handle the melody listening service above, the following must be done; 1) the terminal software should be developed so that the subscriber can hear the melody as much as possible without interrupting the call; 2) develop an operating system to manage the charges for subscribers to download melodies; 3) develop a system that allows subscribers to easily download desired melodies; 4) Various melodies should be provided so that the user can select the desired melody.

In the case of a conventional mobile phone, there is a case where a melody is downloaded and registered as a ringtone and a greeting of a voicemail is registered. About 100 companies, including wireless carriers, currently offer these 700 services.

The present invention is intended for subscribers of a mobile phone (cellular or PCS) and receives the melody from the operator system in advance in the Down Load terminal and plays the melody to the subscriber for a predetermined time until the call is connected. Instead of listening to the tone, instead of listening to your favorite melody, you get rid of boredom while the call is connected.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention starts a call from a mobile phone (cellular, PCS) terminal and simultaneously downloads a melody stored in the terminal to the subscriber and starts the call from the operator system. To listen to the melody for a certain period of silence and ringback tone. While listening to the melody, the busy signal from the base station, the missed signal to stop the melody immediately when the control signal is detected or the other party responds. When a response is received from the subscriber, the user is connected to enable the call immediately. When the busy tone and the missed tone are transmitted from the base station, the subscriber informs the subscriber of the corresponding tone. This is a method that takes full advantage of the characteristics of the mobile phone terminal. The detailed configuration and operation of the present invention are as shown in Figure 1 and the contents thereof are as follows.

When the caller presses the other party's telephone number, the DTMF tones generated here are sent to the caller's wireless base station, and the melody stored in the telephone is started;

At the calling base station, first checking a user's assigned authentication code, and then checking a telephone number to which the caller wants to connect;

Receiving, at the wireless base station, a recipient's telephone number sent by the caller and forwarding the received telephone number to the central center of the wireless communication service provider;

If the number of the received receiver is that of the same wireless telecommunication business station, the wireless telecommunication central center checks whether or not the other party can be received through its wireless base station. If the recipient number is a landline telephone or another wireless telecommunications station number other than the same wireless telecommunications station, forwarding to the receiver side business station;

Checking, at the receiver side wire / wireless communication business station, whether the receiver is in a reception state through an exchange or a wireless base station, and transmitting the reception status back to the caller side business station;

In the calling party's business station, checking whether the signal received from the called party's wired or wireless communication business station is in a callable state and transmitting the signal of the receiver to the calling party's telephone through a wireless base station of the calling party;

The caller's terminal receives the signal of the called party's call from the caller's exchange and, when the signal is busy, generates a busy signal to indicate that the caller's phone is busy (for example, Tu! Stopping the melody that has occurred at the same time as delivering the!

If the other party can receive the call, transmitting the generated melody as it is instead of a sound indicating that the call signal is being transmitted;

When the response signal of the receiver side is transmitted from the wired or wireless communication service provider of the receiver side or the termination signal is transmitted from the caller side, the melody is stopped.

The structure of the operator system that can download the melody is shown in Figure 3, and the subscriber purchases a terminal capable of processing a message (but, if the existing terminal is used, it is checked whether the terminal can be supported by software upgrade). ;

Connect to the operator system and select the desired melody according to the system description and download it. If you download the melody, you will hear it every time you use the phone, and if you want to download another melody, you will need to access the operator system and download it again.

In order to provide this service, the function of the terminal must be implemented. The hardware functional block diagram of the voice flow of the terminal is shown in FIG. The part of interest here is to supply PCM data to a codec, which selects the other party's voice PCM data or auxiliary voice PCM data (voice data stored in memory) using the control signal c6.

When the origination is initiated according to the outgoing signaling procedure (Figure 1), the voice output process of the terminal is subdivided as follows.

A. Process 1 ~ 11 Silent PCM data transmission

B. Process 11 ~ 12 Ringback Tone PCM Data Transmission

C. After the process 12, the voice PCM data transmitted from the base station is transmitted (Mode 1).

D. Transmission of Melody PCM Data Stored in Procedure 1 ~ 12 Memory

E. Modify the control program to transmit voice PCM data received from the base station after step 12 (Mode 2).

In the present invention, the server storing the melody in the operator system is connected to provide the desired melody to the user. The ringback tones offered by existing exchanges are limited and it is not easy to add new ringback tones to these exchanges. There is a ringback tone generator at the receiver side, and it is difficult to replace the stored chip of the ringback tone generator at each exchange, and the melody must be exchanged or added periodically. On the contrary, when the melody is downloaded in advance from the sender's terminal and processed by the terminal, the user database and the melody database can be managed by one operator system without any installation on each exchange. For example, the user accesses the operator's system through his terminal or a landline and selects and downloads the desired melody.

The present invention is made by utilizing the waiting time until the telephone connection by the method using the characteristics of the mobile phone terminal does not cause any damage to the talker or the receiver. In addition, the user hears the melody selected by the user until connected to the other party eliminates the boredom while the call is connected to the user without interrupting the call.
