Detailed ways

As shown in Figure 1, it is the structural representation of voice communication system, by calling terminal 1, called terminal 2, calling exchange 3, called exchange 4, personalized ringing server 5 and calling HLR (home location register) 6 composition. Both the calling terminal 1 and the called terminal 2 can be fixed telephones or mobile terminals, and the calling switch 33 and the called switch 4 are used for exchanging voice data between terminals in the voice communication network, and the personalized ringing server 5 can send The special prompting ringing and message can also save the user's order information by itself, and the user's order information can be saved in the calling HLR6.

In the present invention, the calling exchange 3, the called exchange 4, the personalized ringing server 5 and the calling HLR 6 are network-side devices, corresponding to the calling terminal 1 and the called terminal 2 as user terminals.

In order to personalize the ringing of oneself, the called party can order the ringing with rich meanings to the network service provider, as shown in Figure 2, the personalized ringing customized by the called party is played at the called terminal for the present invention A schematic flow chart of a preferred embodiment of the method has the following steps:

Step 100, the called party sends an order to the network side through various ordering methods to order personalized ringing. There are many ordering ways, which can be ordered by dialing a special service number, ordered through the network or Customized methods such as sending text messages, personalized ringing can be text, pictures, audio files, audio streams, video files or video streams, etc. These ringing rings can provide users with richer information and better meet the individual needs of users.

Step 101, the calling terminal 1 initiates a circuit domain voice call to the called terminal 2, and the voice call is completed by the calling switch 3 sending an initial address message (IAM) signaling to the called switch 4.

Step 102, the called switch 4 inquires whether the called terminal 2 is in an idle state, and if it is in an idle state, executes step 103; if not idle, executes step 1021.

Step 1021 , the called switch 4 sends back to the calling terminal 1 a prompt tone indicating that the called terminal is not idle, and the calling terminal 1 disconnects, ending the call.

Step 103, for the non-idle called terminal 2, after receiving the instruction sent by the called switch 4, it will return the ringing message (Alert) signaling to the called switch 4, and play the local ringing at the same time; The calling switch 4 sends the full address message (ACM) signaling to the calling switch 3, and then the calling switch 3 sends the Alert signaling to the calling terminal 1; at the same time, the called switch 4 sends an inquiry to the personalized ringing server 5 request, in the subscription relationship database of the personalized ringing server 5, inquire whether the called party has ordered the personalized ringing, if the called party has ordered the personalized ringing, then perform step 104; if the called party does not If the personalized ring is customized, the local common ring is played, and the operation is ended.

Step 104, the called exchange 4 sends a message to the personalized ringing server 5, and the message includes the calling and called numbers, and is used to notify the personalized ringing server 5 to send the phone number ordered by the called party to the called terminal 2. Personalize the ringer.

Step 105, the personalized ringing server 5 initiates a packet domain connection to the called terminal 2, and when sending the personalized ringing, the signaling header contains an instruction, which is used to notify the called terminal 2 to automatically receive Personalize ringing and suppress local ringtones.

Step 106, after the called terminal 2 has finished receiving the personalized ringing, it can also return a confirmation character to the personalized ringing server 5, informing the personalized ringing server 5 that the called terminal 2 has finished receiving, and at the same time restrain the called The local ringing played by terminal 2 plays the personalized ringing.

In the above-described embodiment, in step 103, the called switch 4 sends a query request to the personalized ring server 5, or the called terminal 2 may send a query request to the personalized ring server 5, and in the personalized ring In the subscription relationship database of the server 5, query whether the called party has ordered the personalized ringing, if the called party has ordered the personalized ringing, then perform step 104; if the called party has not ordered the personalized ringing, then End operation.
