Description

Method and apparatus for providing a voice-based caller ID service having an advertisement function including an advertisement based on voice

Caller ID (CID) service is a service that displays the caller's telephone number on the receiver's telephone or display terminal before the call starts.

By using the calling number display service, the caller's number is displayed on the receiver's phone, thereby preventing the invasion of communication privacy such as anonymous phone violence and obscene calls.

In addition, since the caller ID display service displays the caller's telephone number on the receiver's telephone or display terminal before the call is started, the receiver can selectively receive the call after checking the caller's telephone number displayed on the incoming call. The caller ID service displays caller information (caller ID and name) on the subscriber display terminal before or during a call to the called party.

In addition, by using the conventional caller ID display service, the information (name and phone number) and time of the caller who missed the call are displayed so that all of the missed calls can be checked, and the number displayed on the screen can be automatically dialed. You can check your phone number if a new call comes in during a call.

According to a mobile telephone terminal having a caller ID recording function and a control method thereof according to the related art, when a call is received, the caller's telephone number received from the base station is stored in the received order, and then the stored numbers are inquired and Select to enable reconnection.

According to the caller ID display method according to the related art, only the caller ID is displayed on the receiver's telephone, so that the receiver displays only the advertisement along with the caller ID and fails to provide a connection to the website or the telephone number corresponding to the advertisement. There is this.

In addition, according to the caller ID display method according to the prior art, the user does not provide an advertisement desired by the caller to the receiver's telephone terminal by including the advertisement and additional information that the user wants for a number of people registered in his or her telephone terminal or PDA, etc. There is a problem.

In addition, according to the caller ID display method according to the prior art, there is a problem that the user does not download the desired advertisement image or voice by accessing a website where the advertisement and additional information can be downloaded.

In addition, according to the caller ID display method according to the prior art, it is difficult to check the caller ID of the incoming call when the user is located far from the phone terminal, or when the user is blind.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a caller ID display method and apparatus for providing a caller's number including information on connection to a website or a phone number corresponding to an advertisement and additional information in a telephone terminal of a receiver.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a caller ID display method and apparatus for providing an advertisement desired by a caller to a receiver's telephone terminal by including an advertisement and additional information that the user desires for a number of people registered to his or her telephone terminal or PDA. To provide.

1 is a block diagram of a voice-based caller ID service providing system having an advertisement function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a block diagram of a voice-based caller ID service providing system having an advertisement function as shown in FIG. 1, in which a service providing server 101 operated by a communication company corresponds to a caller's call request and an advertisement, prize, and lottery corresponding to the caller and the receiver. It is equivalent to extracting various services such as and displaying the same with the calling number on the receiver's terminal.

Referring to FIG. 1, a voice-based caller ID service providing system having an advertisement function includes a terminal 119, a base station 115, a base station controller 113, an exchange 103, an authentication center 105, and a service providing device ( 101) and the like.

The terminal 119 is a mobile phone terminal to be carried by an individual, and the base station 115 transmits and receives data according to a predetermined standard, that is, a Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) standard, with the plurality of terminals 119. 119), transmission and reception of wireless signals, conversion of communication protocols, encryption / decryption, and the like.

The base station controller 113 manages the plurality of base stations 115 and performs functions such as allocation control and handover determination of communication channels for each terminal 119.

The exchange 103 connects the base station controller 113 and the trunk line or trunk line exchanger and the authentication center 105, and the authentication center 105 is provided with a unique number for each terminal 119 and the like. License and billing processing).

In general, in the GSM communication system, a communication function is performed for the mobile terminal 119 by transmitting and receiving predetermined control data between the base station 115 and the mobile terminal 119. And such control data may be variously included to guide the receiver to the basic caller's number data.

In particular, in the case of caller's number data guide, since this is basically not related to providing a call function, it can be provided through an additional service function. In addition, the caller's number data guide may transmit and transmit the corresponding number data when the call data is transmitted through the paging channel to the mobile terminal 119 subscribed to the service. It is also possible to provide to the terminal 119 through, in the normal case, the caller's number data in addition to the call data in order to enable the called party to identify the caller based on the caller's number data prior to the call. It is desirable to transmit.

The mobile phone terminal 119 stores the caller's number data transmitted from the base station 115 in a memory in the mobile phone terminal 119. When the receiver requests this through the key input unit of the mobile phone terminal 119, the calling number is displayed through predetermined display means in the mobile phone terminal 119.
