Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for providing a ringing tone is provided to connect to a voice mail box of a termination subscriber and offer the ringing tone such as a music file, a melody, greetings recorded in the voice mail box instead of a fixed ring-back tone to an origination subscriber. CONSTITUTION: An origination MSC(Mobile Switching Center) retrieves a profile of a termination subscriber and judges whether the termination subscriber is a registration subscriber registered in a voice mail box service(S47). If the corresponding termination subscriber is the registration subscriber, the origination MSC attempts the connection to the voice mail box using a VSRN(VMS Service Routing Number) received from an HLR(Home Location Register)(S48). The origination MSC transmits a ringing tone such as a music file, a melody, or greetings recorded in the voice mail box(S49). The origination MSC attempts the calling of the termination subscriber using the connection result of the voice mail box and profile information of the termination subscriber and performs the setting of a call(S50). The origination MSC requests paging to a corresponding BSC/BTS(Base Station Controller/Base Transceiver Station) using position information of the termination subscriber and pages the termination subscriber(S51). If the termination subscriber recognizes an alarm and receives response(S52), the origination MSC releases a channel connected to the voice mail box(S53) and connects a channel with the termination subscriber(S54).

Description

Method of Offering Call Melody}

The present invention relates to a method for providing a ringing tone, and more particularly, to a ringing tone providing method for a calling party to provide a ringing tone such as a music file, a melody or a greeting recorded in a voicemail box by a subscriber instead of a ringback tone.

In general, a mobile communication network provides a processing tone to a calling party to inform the calling subscriber that the calling subscriber is paging the called subscriber, and when receiving a response to the paging request, the calling subscriber is called. Provide a fixed ringback tone to the calling party to inform the caller. Then, when the called party receives the response, it releases the processing tone and ringback tone that were provided to the calling party.

A method of providing a conventional ring tone as described above will be described in detail with reference to the scenario of FIG. 1 and the flowchart of FIG. 2.

First, when the calling subscriber dials the called party number and dials the called party number (step S21), the calling exchange allocates a call resource (for example, a call) for call processing (step S22). ), By requesting the calling party information inquiry (step S23), it is determined whether the calling party is performing the call under conditions such as illegal, outgoing call, and arrears. If the calling party is a normal sender, the called party number is transmitted to the HLR (Home Location Register) to perform the inquiry of the called party information (step S24). As a result of the inquiry, it is classified according to the location information of the called subscriber and whether it is the same exchange or another exchange, and if it is another exchange, it occupies the relay line.

On the other hand, after judging the legitimacy in consideration of illegal, incoming call ban, or arrears of the called party, if it is a normal called party, after attempting to call the called party (step S25), a call path with the called party is set (step S26) . Then, the paging is requested to a base station controller / base transceiver system (BSC / BTS) using the location information of the called subscriber. The exchange requesting the paging sends a processing tone to inform the calling party that it is sending paging to the called party. Upon receiving a response to the paging request, the called subscriber is notified that the called party is ringing tone (step S27). After that, when the called party answers, the processing tone and ring back tone are released, and the call subscriber transitions to the ready state. However, if there is no response from the called party, the procedure is to transition to additional service or release the call.

As described above, in the conventional mobile communication network, when the calling subscriber provides a processing tone to inform the calling subscriber that the calling subscriber is paging to the called party when receiving the call, and receives a response to the paging request, the incoming call is received. In order to inform the subscriber that it is being alarmed, it provided a fixed ringback tone to the subscriber.

The present invention is to solve the general problems as described above, its purpose is to access the voicemail box of the called party, instead of the fixed ringback tone ringtones recorded by the called party in the voicemail, voice files, melody, greetings, etc. To provide the subscriber.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The method for providing a ring tone according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the scenario of FIG. 3 and the flowchart of FIG. 4.

First, the originating subscriber dials to make a call to the called party and performs call origination (step S41). At this time, the originating exchange allocates a resource (for example, a call) for performing call processing (step S42). By requesting the caller's information inquiry to the HLR (step S43), it is determined whether or not the calling subscriber can perform the call by illegal, outgoing call, arrears (step S44). If the calling subscriber information inquiry result shows that the calling subscriber does not deviate from the legality, it is determined whether the calling subscriber is the same network mobile subscriber by performing a number translation on the dialed number (step S45). As a result of the dialed number translation, if the same network mobile subscriber is requested, the information of the called party is requested to the HLR (step S46). After that, if the incoming subscriber does not deviate from the legality, the incoming subscriber's profile is searched to determine whether or not the registered subscriber is registered in the voicemail service (step S47). As a result of the profile search result of the called subscriber, if the called subscriber is a service subscriber, an attempt is made to connect to the voicemail with the VSRN (VMS Service Routing Number) received from the HLR (step S48). At this time, the subscriber profile information should be delivered so that the user can listen to music files, melodies, greetings, etc. without being transferred to the message listening or message recording while accessing the voicemail. When attempting to access the voicemail box, the connection result should be transmitted to the calling party, and the calling party forwards the result to the called party to determine whether the ringback tone is transmitted. After connecting to the voicemail box, a call sound such as a music file, melody or greeting recorded in the voicemail box is transmitted (step S49).

Subsequently, if the call setup is performed by the corresponding subscriber call including the voicemail connection result and the called party profile information (step S50), the paging is requested to the corresponding BSC / BTS using the called party location information. Is called (step S51). After calling the called party, when the called party recognizes the alarm and receives a response (step S52), the call path connected to the voicemail box is released (step S53), and the call path with the called subscriber is connected (step S54). . When the call between the calling subscriber and the calling subscriber is terminated, the call is released (step S55).

On the other hand, if the called number number translation result, if the other mobile subscribers through the relay line (step S56), and attempts to set up the call to the corresponding subscriber including the voicemail connection result and the subscriber subscriber profile information (step S57) , The paging request is made to the corresponding BSC / BTS using the called party location information, and the called subscriber is called (step S58). After calling the called party, the calling party transmits the processing tone and the ringback tone (step S59).

When the called party recognizes the call and receives the response (step S60), the call subscriber connects to the call path (step S61). When the call between the calling subscriber and the calling subscriber is terminated, the call is released (step S55).

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be modified or modified in various ways. Therefore, changes of the embodiments of the present invention will not be able to escape the technical scope of the present invention.
