Description

A method and service to send a sound announcement customized with both CID (Caller Identification) and callee's status on mobile terminal}

According to the present invention, when a mobile terminal having a voice mail function is not answered or when the mobile terminal is set to a specific state in advance, the guide number of the calling telephone number, that is, the caller number and the specific state of the mobile terminal, which have been dialed is specified. It relates to the manner of telling and services.

If the called party cannot answer the call normally when the incoming call is received, regardless of who the caller is in, regardless of who the caller is when the mobile terminal is not answering the phone, the power is turned off, or the call is in a dead zone Play the guide voice. In order to provide more intimate service and to inform the sender of more information, the following new methods have been proposed.

First, the mobile terminal can receive the call normally because it is not turned off and not in the area where the call cannot be made. However, if the caller is driving and cannot answer the call, the caller will be notified that the caller is not able to receive the call. A method which can be filed is as follows.

"Driver's mobile phone answering device", application number: 10-2000-0013487

"Method for controlling call of mobile phone during high speed movement of vehicle", application number: 10-2000-0052692

However, this method has a disadvantage in that it cannot accommodate various reasons for which the called party cannot receive the call, and cannot accept the guide voice customized for each caller's phone number.

Second, the general caller only hears a predetermined guide voice, but when the caller enters his or her unique number, the method of telling the customized guide voice corresponding to the input number has been filed as follows.

"Method for Handling Automatic Response of Mobile Phone", Application No .: 10-2000-0011558

However, a unique number must be promised between the caller and the called party in advance, and it is inconvenient for the caller to enter the unique number during the call, and cannot accept various reasons why the called party cannot answer the call. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to accept the voice. In addition, all of the above proposed methods must be powered for normal operation of the mobile terminal and can be used only in the callable area.

Third, when the mobile terminal is not able to operate normally, when the power is turned off or when it is in an area where the call cannot be made, and the called party does not answer the phone without any setting such as driving on the mobile terminal, the status of the mobile terminal and the caller's telephone number The way to hear the guide voice that is very customized has been filed as follows.

"Methods and systems for voice guidance by calling party number in telephone and mobile telephone networks", application number: 10-2001-066087

However, the caller who owns the mobile terminal cannot receive a call, for example, during a meeting, listening to music, driving, etc. Hard to provide good service quality

Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, the present invention provides a separate voice announcement for each phone number of the calling telephone, that is, the calling party number and the specific state of the mobile terminal, that is, the called party. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a customized voice announcement by identifying the telephone number of the calling phone, that is, the calling party number and the set specific state, when the call is prepared and the call is not received or the state of the mobile terminal is set to a specific state.

Figure 2 is a guide voice transmission of the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 shows an overall configuration diagram according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A mobile terminal 101 with a built-in voicemail function for recording a customized guide voice and answering a caller who finds the guide voice and prepares the call when the mobile terminal is set to a specific state in advance. A wired telephone 102 which is connected to a telephone network or the Internet and attempts to make a call to a mobile terminal having a voice mail function; A mobile terminal 103 capable of attempting to call a mobile terminal with a voice mail function; And a sample guide voice server 104 for downloading a sample guide voice composed of voice or music.

Looking at the embodiment of recording the voice to be guided by the mobile terminal 101 by the application of the present invention and checking it as follows.

First, select the voice guidance recording menu, enter the calling number and status number, and record the voice announcement. Here, the calling number is the phone number of the other terminal to listen to the guide voice. If a value of "0" is input, the guide voice will be heard to the general caller who is not prepared for a separate guide voice. Guided voice includes all the sounds, music, etc. that a person can hear with their ears. The called party may be in various states that cannot normally receive a call, such as during a meeting or while driving. This is called the called party's state, and the called party's state is set in the mobile terminal. The state number indicating the state of the mobile terminal may have values of "0", "1", "2", "9" and "*", which are divided into basic state and special state, and special state. Is subdivided into states "0" through "9". The default state is defined as a state of "*" which means not being called, i.e. not answering the call. The status of the special states "0" to "9" depends on the definition of the user while the user presses the numbers "0" to "9", e.g. during a meeting, as "0". The value of this special state should always be displayed on the mobile terminal. If you enter a random number once more, it will transition to the default state.

Let's look at an embodiment of downloading the guide voice from the sample guide voice server 102 to respond in the mobile terminal 101 by the application of the present invention. As in the method of producing directly from the mobile terminal, after entering the calling number and status number, access the sample guide voice server to download and store the desired guide voice.

The call number, status number and guide voice input are stored in the guide voice pool, and the call number, status number and guide voice stored in the guide voice pool can be checked and modified through the guide voice check and edit menu.

Let us look at an embodiment (see Fig. 2) of the guide voice transmission in the mobile terminal 101 by the application of the present invention. When a call is received at the mobile terminal, the state of the mobile terminal is first examined with the state setting value of the mobile terminal (201). In the case of the basic state in which the state of the mobile terminal is not set to the special state, it is checked whether the answer waiting time is exceeded because the called party did not answer the phone due to the absence of the mobile terminal (202). If the called party sets the special state before the response waiting timeout, the mobile station receives the incoming call with the set special state. When the response waiting timeout is reached, it is checked whether the guide voice pool has the prepared guide voice (203). First, the guide voice matching the input caller ID and the absence status is searched, and if not, the guide voice corresponding to the caller ID value and the missed status of "0" corresponding to the general caller is searched. If the voice announcement is sent to the sender (204). In this case, the called number inputted refers to a calling number inputted to the called mobile terminal when a call is received in the case of a mobile terminal subscribed to the calling number extraction service. When the mobile terminal is in a special state when a call is received from the mobile terminal, it is checked whether the guide voice is prepared in the guide voice pool with the input call number and the set special state (205). First, the guide voice matching the input call number and the set special state is searched, and if not, the guide voice matching the caller value of "0" corresponding to the general caller and the set special state is found. If the voice announcement is sent to the sender (204).

When a call is received while the state of the mobile terminal is set to a special state, the mobile terminal does not emit a warning sound indicating an incoming call such as a ringing sound or a special warning sound that means that the mobile terminal is set to a special state.

With the rapid spread of mobile phones, it is now an era of one person and one phone, and in this one person one phone era, the telephone number of the outgoing phone is becoming a personal number that can identify each individual. Therefore, the caller can be identified by the phone number of the calling phone, and the caller prepares a special guide voice for each caller who wants to send more information to the caller by sending it when the phone cannot receive the call normally. An intimate message can only be a high quality service.
