Description

Method for transmitting bell-sound and figure file to mobile phone and system therefor}

The present invention relates to a method and system for transmitting a mobile communication terminal of a ringtone and a picture file.

In general, a mobile communication terminal stores some ringtone data in the terminal, and a user can select a desired ringtone therefrom. However, the ringtones stored in the mobile communication terminal alone are difficult to satisfy various preferences and tastes of users of the mobile communication terminal, which has been exploding in recent years, and it is impossible for the user to arbitrarily change the stored ringtones.

In order to solve the above problems, a mobile communication service provider or a provider of ringtone contents is transferred to a user through a wireless Internet network using a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) server interworking with the Internet network. A service for transmitting to a communication terminal and storing the ringtone in a ringtone data memory to be transmitted to a user and reproducing the stored ringtone upon incoming call through a built-in player has been widely used.

In addition, recently, a technology for reproducing not only a ringtone but also a user having an interest in using a mobile phone terminal to reproduce at least one or more consecutive background picture files on a display screen of the mobile communication terminal has been developed. A service for transmitting files to a mobile communication terminal of a user through a wireless inter-network as described above has emerged.

However, in order to receive the ringtone or the background picture file, the user has to be inconvenient to access each web server providing the ringtone or the background picture file, so that the user may halve the interest of the user during the downloading process. Also, companies that develop various contents, such as ringtones or background picture files for mobile communication terminals, are experiencing limitations in the development of contents corresponding to various preferences and tastes of users that increase exponentially.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. By providing a user with a background picture file including a ringtone in which a conventional ringtone file and a background picture file are synthesized, the user can download the ringtone and the background picture content. The present invention provides a method and system for transmitting a mobile communication terminal of a ringtone and a picture file, which can be more simply performed, and can further activate the development of contents for a mobile communication terminal through various combinations of a ringtone and a background picture.
