The wired communication terminal shown in FIG. 2 includes a communication device such as a general telephone using a wired communication network. As shown in FIG. 2, a wired communication terminal according to the present invention includes a wired signal transmitting / receiving unit 41 connected to a wired telephone line for transmitting / receiving a wired signal, and demodulating a wired signal received from the wired signal transmitting / receiving unit 41. Then, a wired signal processing unit 42 for modulating a wired signal transmitted to the wired telephone transmitting / receiving unit 41, a microphone input terminal 43a in which an incoming signal to be stored is input as a voice signal or an audio signal from the outside by a microphone, and a storage unit. An incoming signal input section 43 having a wired input terminal 43b for receiving an incoming signal as a voice signal or an audio signal from outside through a wire, and the voice signal or audio signal input to the incoming signal input section 43 can be stored. An incoming signal processing unit 44 for converting the incoming signal to a new incoming signal among the wired signal, the audio signal and the audio signal.

A predetermined wired signal received by the wired signal transmitting / receiving unit 41 and demodulated by the wired signal processing unit 42 is stored as an incoming signal in the memory 47 by the selection of the incoming signal selecting unit 45, and when a ring signal arrives, it is already received. Instead of the stored incoming signal, it is output as a ring tone by the speaker 48c of the incoming signal output unit 48. Also, the ringtone input unit 43
The predetermined audio signal or audio signal input to
A ring tone is recorded and stored as a ring tone according to the selection value of the ring signal selection section 45, and when a ring signal arrives, the ring tone is output as a ring tone by the speaker 48c of the ring tone output section 48 instead of the ring tone already stored.

The operation of the wireless and wired communication terminal according to the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is as follows. First, a voice of a song or a person to be recorded is recorded through the microphone input terminals 33a and 43a, or the wired input terminal 33 is recorded.
It is determined whether a voice signal or an audio signal of a telephone, an audio device or a TV is to be recorded through b and 43b, or a signal input as a high-frequency wireless signal received by the wireless signal transmitting and receiving unit 31 is to be recorded otherwise. Here, in the case of a wired communication terminal, a wired signal received through the wired signal transmitting / receiving unit 41 and demodulated by the wired signal processing unit 42 is used instead of the wireless signal received through the wireless signal transmitting / receiving unit 31.

In order to perform recording, a recording start command of the incoming signal selection value input units 35 and 45 is required. When the recording start command is transmitted to the control units 36 and 46, the control unit 36
Reference numeral 46 stores the signal selected by the incoming signal selection value in the memories 37 and 47 as the incoming signal.

Thereafter, when a ring signal arrives, the currently stored incoming signal is output to the speakers 38d and 48c of the incoming signal output units 38 and 48 instead of the conventional incoming signal. Of course, there is also a case where an incoming signal is transmitted by selecting at least one of the light emitting indicators 38a and 48a, the vibrator 38b, and the buzzers 38c and 48b without outputting a ring tone to the speakers 38d and 48c as in the related art. .

In other words, instead of transmitting some fixed buzzer sounds as ringtones, various voice signals and audio signals desired by the user are inputted by a microphone and a wire, and the present invention's wired / wireless By storing the newly stored voice signal and audio signal to the speakers 38d and 48c of the incoming signal output units 38 and 48 by storing them in the memories 37 and 47 attached to the communication terminal, unique communication with other persons is achieved. Can be used as distinctive ringtones for individuals.

Also, using a wireless communication network, a voice post office box (VM)
The information stored in S) may be used as a ringtone. That is, the information stored in the voice mail box is received as a wireless signal, stored in the memory 37 mounted on the wireless communication terminal, and transmitted to the incoming signal output unit 38 so that the information can be used as an identifiable personal ringtone. .

[0019]

As described above, according to the wireless / wired communication terminal of the present invention, a voice signal or an audio signal input from the outside is recorded as a ring tone, and when a ring signal arrives, the user is notified. Can be made to emit a newly recorded ringtone from outside instead of the ringtone already stored. Therefore, even if many people hear ringtones in crowded or noisy places, it is not only easy to distinguish which terminal the ringtone is coming from, but also some limited ringing signals already stored. There is an effect that the user can record various voice signals and audio signals desired by the user instead of selecting among them.
