And a server means for transmitting the audio file requested by the user among the converted audio files stored in the storage means to the user's mobile phone through a communication network.

The audio service system for mobile phones utilizes correction means for correcting distortion by frequency by inverting the processing process of the voice codec for mobile phones and the characteristics of the reproduction frequency, and encoding the data corrected through the correction means through the encoding means. By encoding, the original audio can be reproduced similarly to the original audio because it is audible and immersive in the reproduction of the final result.

Specifically, the correction means is a compressor for reducing the overall gain of the digital audio within the dynamic range of the earphone or speaker, which is the final output of the audio, and an equalizer for correcting the difference between gains for each frequency. It consists of (Equalizer).

In the audio service system for mobile phones mentioned above, the equalizer function allows the settings set as presets or user settings to be applied equally to the entire song. For example, if the user has set the equalizer setting to pop, the entire song stored in the phone, regardless of the genre of the song, such as jazz, rock, disco, hip hop, folk, and chanson The same applies to the pop equalizer setting.

Therefore, the user has to listen to the same equalizer setting for all the songs stored in the mobile phone, and there is a problem in that the equalizer setting for each song needs to be changed for the equalizer setting for each song.

The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide an audio service method for a mobile phone that provides a user interface function to set the equalizer for each song by selecting a playable music file when using the audio service using a mobile phone.

In the audio service method for a mobile phone according to an aspect of the present invention, a preset function and a band of a song according to a user's preference are set so that an equalizing function suitable for each song genre is set for each song through a user interface. By providing a user setting function that enables boosting / down separately, the user can change the equalizer setting through the correction means so that the song can be played with the equalizer and user setting values set for each song when playing music files. Watch.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art may easily implement the present invention.

First, an audio service method for a mobile phone according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

1 illustrates a configuration of an audio service system for a mobile phone applied to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the audio service system for a mobile phone applied to an embodiment of the present invention, when the audio is reproduced through a voice-only codec for the mobile phone, a gain and a harmonic distortion for each frequency are generated, and the voice is a voice. Edo outputs sound somewhat distorted from the original tone.

Therefore, by utilizing the correction means 10 for correcting the distortion portion for each frequency by inverting on the basis of the processing process of the voice-only codec for the mobile phone and the characteristics of the reproduction frequency, the correction means 10 encodes the data corrected through the encoding means ( By encoding through 20), the original audio can be reproduced similarly to the original audio sound because it is auditoryly felt during the reproduction of the final result.

Specifically, the correction means 10 includes a compressor and a frequency-specific gain that reduce the overall gain of the digital audio within the dynamic range of the earphone or speaker which is the final output terminal of the audio. It consists of an equalizer that compensates for the difference.

That is, the core of the audio signal correction means 10 is an equalizer, and audio data that can be reproduced similarly to the original audio through an equalizer for each frequency band according to a modulation scheme for each frequency band of the voice-only codec. Will be converted to.

In addition, techniques such as ancillary volume (volume) and spectrum (spectrum) for improving the sound quality can be used, but basically included in the equalizer (Equalizer) in the concept of correcting the audio based on the range.

When the correcting means 10 and the encoding means 20 are combined to be referred to as audio file conversion generating means, the audio file conversion generating means may be configured in hardware, but is mainly programmed to implement a function in software. .
