    How to limit the number of ringtones in your phone
    The present invention relates to a method for controlling tone generation of a portable telephone, and more particularly, to a method for allowing a user to limit the number of occurrences of a ring tone.
    Due to the rapid development of the telecommunications industry, various types and types of mobile phones are rapidly spreading to many people, and various problems are caused by excessive use of mobile phones. For example, an incomminf call (or an information message and an alarm signal according to a communication method) for calling the mobile phone while the mobile phone user is located in a quiet office space or a theater. When an information message is received by the mobile phone, a ring tone continues to ring from the mobile phone until the user answers the phone, thereby causing a problem of quieting.
    In order to solve the above problems, most mobile phones are applied with various incoming signal reception alarm functions. For example, methods for alarming a user that a call is received when a call is received from the mobile phone include a method of generating a ring tone, a method of vibrating the mobile phone, and a lamp that emits light to the outside of the mobile phone. The method of driving the is applied.
    However, the vibrate mode that vibrates the mobile phone and the method of blinking the lamp are effective when the mobile phone user has the mobile phone, but when the user does not have the mobile phone, it is difficult to immediately answer the call of the other party. Unable problem occurs. In addition, most mobile phones are configured to generate a ring tone whenever an incoming call (or alarm signal) transmitted from a base station at a frame period or a predetermined period is received so that the ring tone continues around the user unless the user answers the call of the other party. Sound waves of the ringing will cause damage to nearby people.
    Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a control method for allowing a user to limit the number of occurrences of a ring tone generated when an incoming call is received to a mobile phone that forms a call channel through a call procedure message with a base station.
    The present invention for achieving the above object is a control method for limiting the number of ringtones generated by a mobile phone that generates ringtones by receiving an incoming signal transmitted from a base station, wherein the ringtones are input from the outside while the ringtone menu is displayed. A ringtone generation count setting step of storing a ring tone generation limit mode and storing the incoming call generation limit mode; searching whether the incoming call generation limit mode is set in response to the reception of an incoming call for a call in the standby mode; A ringtone generation process for generating a ringtone in response to receiving an incoming call when the call generation restriction mode is not set, and in response to receiving the incoming call when it is determined that the incoming call generation restriction mode is set in the search process. A ringtone limit occurrence that limits the number of occurrences of the ringtone to the stored occurrences; In addition, the ring tone is generated at least once by the reception of the incoming call, and in the state in which the incoming call is continuously received, the method comprises the step of establishing a call path by setting a communication channel when the user responds.

    Figure 3 is a flow chart according to the method for limiting the number of ring tone generation of the mobile phone according to an embodiment of the present invention.
    Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that in the following description, only parts necessary for understanding the operation according to the present invention will be described, and descriptions of other parts will be omitted so as not to obscure the subject matter of the present invention. In addition, in the following description example, a CDMA mobile phone is described.
    1 is a block diagram of a part of a mobile phone in which the present invention is carried out. The mobile phone having the configuration as shown in FIG. 1 receives frame data of a forward call channel after being synchronized and called by receiving data of a sync channel and a paging channel transmitted from a base station. In this case, the data frame of the forward call channel includes an information message and an alert with information message, which are incoming calls (calling signals) for calling a mobile phone.
    1, reference numeral 12 denotes an RF unit, and 14 denotes a base band analog (BBA) circuit including a digital to analog converter (DAC) 22 and an analog to digital converter (ADC) 24. The digital signal is converted into an analog signal or the analog signal is converted into a CDMA digital signal and output. The BBA circuit 14 can use a chip of "BBA2.X (Q5312CDMA)" produced by "QUALCOMM" in the United States.
    Reference numeral 16 denotes a modulator 26, a deinterleaver and decoder 28, an interleaver and an encoder 30, a vocoder 32, and a microprocessor 34 for controlling them, which are connected to an input / output node of the BBA circuit 14. A mobile station modem (MSM) configured to perform symbol demodulation on the digital signal output from the ADC 24 through the forward channel, and deinterleaving and decoding the symbol demodulated signal to generate error-corrected information frame data. It analyzes the content of the frame data and outputs the voice sample data of the PCM data through the vocoder 32. In addition, it also includes a function of outputting call-related message data through the reverse channel and converting PCM data into CDMA data and supplying it to the BBA circuit 14. This MSM can also use the "MSM2300" supplied in the form of one chip from the "QUALCOMM company".
    Reference numeral 18 denotes a memory unit in which an operation source program of the microprocessor 34 is stored, and stores processing or message data under control of the microprocessor 34. Further, reference numeral 20 decodes the PCM voice data sample output from the vocoder 32 and outputs it as an audible signal of an analog, converts the input of the analog signal into a PCM voice data sample, and transmits it to the vocoder 32. do.
    As described above, an operation according to the present invention in a CDMA mobile phone which transmits and receives voice data by transmitting and receiving frame data of a forward channel and a reverse channel is described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
    Fig. 2 is a flow chart of the ring tone generation frequency setting registration control of the mobile phone according to the embodiment of the present invention, which is a masked program in the memory unit 18 shown in Fig. 1.
    3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for limiting the number of ringtone occurrences of a mobile phone according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is a masked program in the memory unit 18 shown in FIG.
    Now, when the mobile phone having the configuration as shown in FIG. 1 is operated in the standby mode, the microprocessor 34 in the mobile phone receives an alert message related to an incoming call from the base station or the menu key in step 102 of FIG. A ring tone (CNI) is received and retrieved by reading the keypad (not shown) and the outputs of the deinterleaver and decoder 28.
    If the user selects the menu key to limit the number of times the incoming bell of the cellular phone is in the above state, the microprocessor 34 accesses the menu display data stored in the memory unit 18 to display a window (not shown). The menu is displayed in step 104 of FIG. In operation 106 of FIG. 2, the microprocessor 34 searches whether the ring tone generation limit menu is selected. When the ring tone generation limit menu is not selected in step 106, the microprocessor 34 performs the function of the menu selected in step 108 and returns to the standby mode.
    However, if it is determined that the user selects a menu limiting the number of ring tones generated from the menus displayed on the display window using a key located on the keypad, the microprocessor 34 prompts for the number of ring tones in step 110. Is displayed on the display window. That is, it asks the user how many ringtones to generate. In operation 112, the microprocessor 34 searches whether the set number of times is specified. At this time, when the user selects and inputs one of the numeric keys on the keypad, for example, "digit 2", the microprocessor 34 searches whether the storage key is input in step 114.
    If the storage key is not input in such a state, the microprocessor 34 performs an operation corresponding to the key selected in step 116. If the storage key is selected, the microprocessor 34 uses the value of the numeric key input in step 118 as the set value. The ring tone generation restriction mode is set by setting the ring tone generation restriction bit located in the memory unit 18 in step 119. At this time, the memory unit 18 is a non-wheeling memory, and retains the stored data as it is even if the power is turned on or off or the battery of the cellular phone is removed.
    Therefore, by the control process as described above, the user can limit the number of occurrences of the telephone ringing when there is an incoming call to the mobile phone and store it in the memory unit 18. By this operation, the ring tone occurrence value set and registered in the memory unit 18 conveniently provides an opportunity to respond to an incoming call more easily without damaging the neighbors when the user of the mobile phone is in a public place or the like. do.
    On the other hand, in the standby mode in which the number of occurrences of the ring tone is set and registered as described above, when an alert message for calling the mobile phone is received from the base station, the RF unit 12 is known as is well known in the art. Through the DAC 22 and the demodulator 26, downconverting, conversion to digital signals, CDMA demodulation and symbol combining are supplied to the deinterleaver and decoder 28.
    The deinterleaver and decoder 28 deinterleave and decode the symbol-coupled received data to supply error corrected information bits to the microprocessor 34. In this case, the microprocessor 34 analyzes the information bits output from the deinterleaver and the decoder 28 to search whether the alert message has been received in step 120 of FIG. 3. If it is determined that the alert message for the call (ring tone) has been received, the microprocessor 34 searches for the flag bit set in the memory unit 18 to determine whether the ring tone generation limit mode is set in step 122.
    If the ringtone generation restriction mode is not set, the microprocessor 34 outputs ringtone generation data to the vocoder 32 in step 124. The vocoder 32 vocodes the ringtone generation data output from the microprocessor 34 to supply the PCM voice sample data of the ringtone to the codec 20 so as to be output from the speaker. Thus, when the ringtone generation restriction mode is not set, each time an alert message is received, a ringtone is generated from the cellular phone to inform the user that the call has come.
    However, when it is determined in step 122 that the ring tone generation restriction mode is set, the microprocessor 34 searches whether the ring tone mute bit set in the memory unit 18 is set in step 126. Here, the ring tone mute bit is set when the reception of the alarm signal (ring tone) is received more than the ring tone generation limit number set by the user and the generation of the ring tone is already limited, which will be more accurately understood by the following description. will be.
    When the ringtone mute bit is determined to be in the reset state, the microprocessor 34 supplies the ringtone generation data to the vocoder 32 as described above in step 128 so that the ringtone is generated. Count. In operation 132, the microprocessor 34 compares and searches whether the count value of the number of ring tones is equal to the set value set by the control process of FIG. 2.
    If it is determined in step 132 that the number of ringtones generated is not the same as the limit of the set ringtones, it is determined in step 136 whether the user responds to an incoming call. This search is determined by searching whether a key is input from the keypad or whether a flip is opened. If the user does not respond to the search result, the user transitions to the standby mode and receives a message transmitted from the base station through the forward channel.
    When the alarm message is received again, the ring tone is generated from the cellular phone and is output as an audible sound. The value of the counter that counts the number of ring tone occurrences is increased. When the increased ring tone counter value becomes equal to the set value, the microprocessor 34 sets the ring tone mute bit set in the memory unit 18 at 134 over, and mutes the ring tone. That is, even if an alarm message is received, no ringtone generation data is supplied to the vocoder 32 so that there is no output of the ringtone. Accordingly, it can be seen that the ring tone is not generated more than the set number of times even when the alert message of the forward channel for calling the mobile phone is received by the above control.
    If the user responds while the user is in a state where a ringtone is generated or the ringtone is muted due to a ringtone generation restriction, the microprocessor 34 transmits a connect order to the base station at 138 over the call channel. To form. At this time, the ring tone mute bits set in the memory unit 18 are also reset.
    In the above-described embodiment, the case of the CDMA mobile phone using the MSM has been described. However, it should be noted that those skilled in the art may apply the same to the GSM (global system mobile) mobile phone.
    As described above, according to the present invention, when the alarm signal is received by the mobile phone, the user can set the number of occurrences of the incoming signal, so that the user can reliably respond to the call without causing inconvenience to the neighbors when using in a place requiring quietness. have.
