Title: Method for transmitting digital data and system thereof and mobile terminal for the same in call waiting

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to a method and system for transmitting digital data while waiting for call connection and a mobile communication terminal for the same, and more specifically, to a method and system for providing call connection waiting information containing a plurality of digital data while connecting a call and a mobile communication terminal for the same, in which the digital data can be transmitted to the mobile communication terminal while connecting a call without separately using an additional protocol. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     Recently, call connection tone services are spotlighted, in which various sounds specified by a terminating terminal user can be heard through a mobile communication terminal or a landline phone of an originating terminal user while the originating terminal user attempts a call. The call connection tone service is also referred to as a ring back tone (RBT) service or a coloring RBT (CRBT) service. Such a call connection tone is a concept of a service for providing an originating mobile communication terminal user with a sound specified by a terminating mobile communication terminal user. It is a service allowing sounds of bird chirping, sounds of running water, and even previously recorded user&#39;s voices, as well as latest folk songs and popular songs, to be used as a call connection tone, in stead of a beep sound, which is a mechanical call connection tone generated in a conventional call. Owing to such call connection tone services, the originating mobile communication terminal user hears a sound out of a sound source specified by the terminating mobile communication terminal user, in stead of hearing monotonous mechanical call connection tones, and feels auditory satisfaction. 
     In addition, since services for providing multimedia moving images, advertisements, and the like, as well as music substituting for the beep sound, in the form of images are introduced, users may feel visual amusement, in addition to the auditory satisfaction. 
     However, since the call connection tone is recognized as a means for expressing user&#39;s personality or emotion, as well as easing tediousness while waiting for call connection, it is required to develop a new service that uses a sense of touch, a sense of smell, temperature, and the like, as well as a sense of sight and a sense of hearing, as a call connection tone.

     MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION 
     The preferred embodiments of the invention will be hereafter described in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings. 
       FIG. 1  is a view showing the configuration of a data transmission system according to the present invention. 
     As shown in the figure, the data transmission system includes mobile communication terminals  100 - a  and  100 - b , a mobile communication system including a call connection processing server  200  and a subscriber information providing server  300 , and a connection information providing server  400 . 
     Describing in further detail, if an originating mobile communication terminal  100 - a  attempts call connection, the mobile communication system searches for service subscription information of a terminating mobile communication terminal  100 - b  and confirms whether or not the terminating mobile communication terminal is a subscriber of a data transmission service. If the terminating mobile communication terminal is a subscriber of the data transmission service, the mobile communication system requests and receives call connection waiting information containing a plurality of digital data and matching to the terminating mobile communication terminal  100 - b  from the connection information providing server  400 , and encodes and transmits the call connection waiting information to the originating mobile communication terminal  100 - a.    
     Here, the data transmission service is defined as a service for delivering call connection waiting information containing a plurality of digital data (e.g., voices, vibration, temperature, colors and the like) set by the terminating mobile communication terminal to the originating mobile communication terminal while waiting for call connection. Unlike a conventional call connection tone, the call connection waiting information contains a plurality of digital data respectively having a different character and an additional header for identifying a corresponding digital data within one frame. 
     If the originating mobile communication terminal  100 - a  attempts call connection, the call connection processing server  200  requests the subscriber information providing server  300  to search for service subscription information of the terminating mobile communication terminal  100 - b  to which the originating mobile communication terminal attempts the call connection and confirms whether or not the terminating mobile communication terminal is a subscriber of the data transmission service. If the terminating mobile communication terminal is a subscriber of the data transmission service, the call connection processing server  200  requests and receives call connection waiting information matching to the terminating mobile communication terminal  100 - b  from the connection information providing server  400 , and encodes and transmits the call connection waiting information to the originating mobile communication terminal  100 - a.    
     Here, if the originating mobile communication terminal  100 - a  attempts voice call connection, the call connection processing server  200  changes a corresponding traffic class to allow transmission of call connection waiting information containing a plurality of data, and if transmission of the call connection waiting information is completed (e.g., the terminating mobile communication terminal accepts the call), the call connection processing server  200  returns to the previous state (a state for transmitting voices) to continue transmitting voices. 
     The subscriber information providing server  300  stores and manages user information including service subscription information. If the subscriber information providing server  300  receives a request for confirming whether or not a specific mobile communication terminal user is a subscriber of a data transmission service from the call connection processing server  200 , the subscriber information providing server  300  confirms whether or not the corresponding mobile communication terminal subscribes the data transmission service and transmits a result of the confirmation to the call connection processing server  200 . 
     The connection information providing server  400  stores and manages call connection waiting information containing a plurality of data, and extracts and provides corresponding call connection waiting information in response to a request from the mobile communication system. 
     If the mobile communication terminal  100  receives the call connection waiting information transmitted from the mobile communication system, the mobile communication terminal  100  analyses the call connection waiting information, divides the plurality of data, and processes each of the divided data. 
     On the other hand, the call connection processing server  200  is configured to perform a function of an exchange that performs call connection between the originating mobile communication terminal and the terminating mobile communication terminal in the mobile communication system, and it is referred to as a call connection processing server so as not to be limited to a specific communication network. 
     In addition, the subscriber information providing server  300  is configured to perform a function of a home location register that manages and provides various types of information including additional service subscription information of a subscriber in the mobile communication system, and it is referred to as a subscriber information providing server so as not to be limited to a specific communication network. 
       FIG. 2  is a block diagram showing the configuration of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention. 
     As shown in the figure, the mobile communication terminal  100  includes a wireless communication unit  110 , an input unit  120 , an output unit  130 , a memory  140 , a decoder  150 , a file analyzing unit  160 , and a data processing unit  170 . 
     The wireless communication unit  110  for performing communications through a communication network, the input unit  120  for performing input control, the output unit  130  for aurally or visually providing data needed for using a voice communication service or a data service, and the memory  140  for storing information related to the mobile communication terminal have a general configuration, and details thereof will be omitted. 
     Describing in further detail, if the decoder  150  receives call connection waiting information from the mobile communication system, the decoder  150  confirms whether or not a preset identification code indicating that the call connection waiting information contains a plurality of data is contained in the header of the file format. If the identification code is contained in the header as a result of the confirmation, the decoder  150  decodes the call connection waiting information and transfers the decoded call connection waiting information to the file analyzing unit  160 . 
     The file analyzing unit  160  analyzes the file format of the call connection waiting information transmitted from the decoder  150 , divides the call connection waiting information into a plurality of data, and transfers the data to the data processing unit  170  to implement the data on the mobile communication terminal. 
     The data processing unit  170  processes the call connection waiting information divided into a plurality of individual data and transmitted from the file analyzing unit  160 , on the basis of corresponding individual data. 
     Here, if the call connection waiting information contains a plurality of data, it has a file format including a mixed mode field containing a code specifying the type and number of the contained data, a header field containing identification information of real data for identifying each of the plurality of real data, and a real data field containing real data, as shown in  FIG. 3 . 
     The real data is digital data such as a voice, vibration, temperature, a color, and the like. 
     As shown in  FIG. 3 , the call connection waiting information is constructed in order of the mixed mode field, the header, and the real data, and it is possible to add more real data as is needed by an operator. When a real data is added, a header matching to the real data is also added. 
     On the other hand, as shown in  FIG. 4 , the call connection waiting information further contains a codec header field that is added when the mobile communication system performs encoding based on a specific codec. 
     The codec is a speech codec having a variable speed, such as an adaptive multi-rate (AMR) codec, G.711, G.729, EVRC, or the like. 
       FIG. 5  is a sequence diagram illustrating a method of transmitting data while waiting for call connection according to the present invention, and a method of transmitting data while the mobile communication system is connecting a call is described as an example. 
     First, if the mobile communication system (the call connection processing server and the subscriber information providing server of  FIG. 5 ) receives a call connection request from the originating mobile communication terminal  100 - a , the mobile communication system searches for service subscription information of the terminating mobile communication terminal  100 - b  and confirms whether or not the terminating mobile communication terminal is a subscriber of a data transmission service S 101  to S 107 . 
     As shown in the figure, the subscriber information providing server internally transfers a result of the search to the call connection processing server. 
     If the terminating mobile communication terminal  100 - b  is a subscriber of the data transmission service, the mobile communication system requests and receives call connection waiting information containing a plurality of digital data and matching to the terminating mobile communication terminal  100 - b  from the connection information providing server  400  S 109  and S 111 . 
     Next, the mobile communication system encodes and transmits the call connection waiting information received from the connection information providing server  400  to the originating mobile communication terminal  100 - a  S 113 . 
     Next, if the originating mobile communication terminal  100 - a  recognizes that the call connection waiting information contains a plurality of data by confirming the header of the file format of the call connection waiting information received from the mobile communication system, the originating mobile communication terminal  100 - a  divides the plurality of data and processes each of the divided data S 115 . 
     If the terminating mobile communication terminal  100 - b  accepts the call and call connection is established between the originating mobile communication terminal  100 - a  and the terminating mobile communication terminal  100 - b  S 117 , the mobile communication system terminates transmission of the call connection waiting information. 
       FIG. 6  is a flowchart illustrating a method of executing call connection waiting information in a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention. 
     First, if the mobile communication terminal attempts call connection, the mobile communication terminal receives call connection waiting information transmitted from the mobile communication system S 201  and S 203 . 
     Next, the mobile communication terminal examines the header of the file format of the call connection waiting information and confirms whether or not a preset identification code indicating that the call connection waiting information contains a plurality of data is contained in the header S 205 . 
     Here, the call connection waiting information contains a codec header field that is added when the mobile communication system performs encoding based on a specific codec. If a plurality of data is contained in the call connection waiting information, the call connection waiting information contains a mixed mode field containing a code specifying the type and number of the contained data, a header field containing identification information of real data for identifying each of the plurality of real data, and a real data field containing real data. 
     In step S 205 , the mobile communication terminal confirms whether or not a preset identification code indicating that the call connection waiting information contains a plurality of data is contained in the header referring to the contents of the codec header field. 
     If the preset identification code is contained in the header as a result of the confirmation, the mobile communication terminal decodes the call connection waiting information, analyzes the file format of the decoded call connection waiting information, and divides the call connection waiting information into a plurality of data S 207  and S 209 . 
     In step S 209 , the mobile communication terminal divides the plurality of data into individual data referring to the contents of the header field. 
     Next, the mobile communication terminal processes the call connection waiting information divided into a plurality of individual data, on the basis of corresponding individual data S 211 . 
     For example, if a voice and vibration are contained in the call connection waiting information as real data, the mobile communication terminal divides the voice and the vibration, and the voice is outputted if the mobile communication terminal is configured to output voices, and the vibration is outputted if the mobile communication terminal is configured to process vibration. 
     On the other hand, if the preset identification code is not contained in the header as a result of the confirmation in step S 205 , the mobile communication terminal decodes the call connection waiting information S 213  and performs step S 211 . 
     Hereinafter, an example of the above-mentioned data transmission service will be described with reference to  FIGS. 7 to 13 , and the call connection processing server is divided into a terminating call controller and an originating call controller for the convenience of explanation. 
     In addition, the subscriber information providing server is divided into an originating location register and a terminating location register. 
     On the other hand, the emotional information call connection waiting information disclosed in  FIGS. 7 to 13  has the same meaning as the call connection waiting information described above. However, it will be distinguished from the call connection waiting information for the convenience of explanation.
