In order to achieve the above object, the configuration means according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is an overall flowchart illustrating a method of utilizing music played in an MP3 as a background sound during a call. The operation of an MP3 portable terminal for selecting a desired file from various stored music files and using it as a background sound during a call can be divided into a case of receiving a call from a counterpart and a case of transmitting a counterpart through a personal portable terminal. First, when receiving a call from the caller, when the call is connected with the other party, the MP3 portable terminal acquires a signal through the wireless transmitter / receiver 101 and converts / processes the voice data through the central processing unit 102 before analog digital. The digital background sound source (background music) generated by converting the voice data into an analog signal through the conversion unit 103 and playing a desired file among the preset / stored MP3 files has the center of the file stored in the MP3 memory unit 107. It is generated by reproducing a desired sound or music through the MP3 player 107 connected to the processor 102. The generated digital background sound source is converted into an analog signal through the analog-to-digital conversion unit 108, and is mixed with the conversational voice data for the call and the voice mixing unit (MUX, 104). You can listen to the background music provided by the same time. At the next call, when the caller's terminal is connected to the other party, the voice of the MP3 portable terminal user's voice is transmitted to the voice mixer 108 through the input unit (microphone) 110, and the digital background sound source through the reproduction of the MP3 file is centered. It is generated by reproducing the MP3 file stored in the memory unit 106 in the MP3 playback unit 107 through the processing unit 102, the generated digital background sound source is converted into an analog signal through the analog digital processing unit 108 After that, the voice mixer 109 mixes the background music and the voice signal of the caller, and the mixed signal is transmitted to the receiver terminal through the wireless transmitter / receiver 101 through the central processing unit 102 and the wireless transceiver of the receiver terminal. Receives it so that you can listen to the conversation voice and the MP3 background sound or the sound of the background music during the call at the same time. Looking at the configuration of the voice mixing unit according to the present invention in more detail, when the caller connects the phone to the other party, the background music is played using the corresponding MP3 music file set in advance and the played background music is the two voice mixers. Is passed to (MUX). One voice mixer (MUX) 109 receives the sender's voice from the sender's transmitting microphone and mixes the received voice with the background music generated by the playback of the MP3 file. Used when sending to the receiver. Another voice mixing unit (MUX, 104) acquires the voice signal of the other party through the wireless transceiver, and the speaker of the caller by mixing the voice of the other party through the central processing unit and the analog-to-digital conversion unit and the background music played in the MP3 Through this, you can hear the mixed voice of the other party's dialogue voice and background music. The background music may be provided by both the caller and the receiver. If the other party attempts to make a call by setting the mode to provide the background music during the call, the background music may cause confusion. When the background music is included, the receiver determines that the personal portable terminal of the receiver does not operate the background music providing mode. If it is determined that the caller does not provide the background music, the caller may provide the other party with the background music preset in the receiver terminal during the call. More specifically, in a personal portable wireless terminal having a built-in MP3 according to the present invention, a method for providing a background music by selecting a desired file among music files stored in the memory of the MP3 during a call may include a) Setting the desired music or sound to a desired size so that the background music or sound stored in the MP3 can be provided during a call using the button of b), b) the caller or C) transmitting the background music or the background sound transmitted to the counterpart and the sound including the caller's or receiver's conversation to the caller's or receiver's handset. The voice mixing unit in the step of mixing the caller's or receiver's conversational voice with the background music or sound played on the MP3 is a voice mixer and a receiver for the receiver's voice that is transmitted to the receiver and the MP3 background music or sound. It is divided into a caller's voice mixer for mixing the talk voice of the receiver and the MP3 background music or sound transmitted to the speaker. If the background music is not set in step a), the general call is made without the background music provided. According to the present invention, when both the sender and the receiver having a personal portable radio terminal with a built-in MP3 set a mode in which a background sound or a background music can be provided to the other party, a means for giving priority to the caller is included. That is, in the terminal of the receiver, a means for determining whether the background music is included in the voice sent by the caller is included in the step before exporting the background music. If it is determined that the caller does not send out the background music, the receiver's terminal can provide the background music set in advance during the call with the other party. Here, if a call is made while listening to a music file of MP3 and a call is started, the call is started after changing to the function to listen to MP3 background music if the provision of MP3 background music is set. If not, it is desirable to end the playback of the MP3 file and change to the normal call state to try the call. Also, in step a), it is preferable to check whether the MP3 file is stored in the flash memory of the MP3 portable terminal before determining whether the MP3 background sound function is set. . In the step a), the user in setting the function of providing the background music by the MP3 by the user should download the MP3 file to the MP3 memory of the mobile phone and store the downloaded MP3 file list. The stored file list can add to the enjoyment of the call, including means and steps for selectively inputting and providing specific background music to certain people (love, parents, master) as needed. Means for inputting a volume of the background music upon setting and inputting the background music. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of using the MP3 background sound in the MP3 portable terminal according to the present invention.
