It is characterized by ringing the incoming call ring of the mobile phone.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the configuration and operation of the melody input device of the mobile telephone according to the present invention.

1 is a block diagram of a melody input device of a mobile phone according to the present invention, in which a melody input and edit unit 1 is inputted and edited by operating a button by assigning a function for melody editing to various buttons of a mobile phone. And a display unit 2 for displaying a process of inputting and editing a melody according to a button operation of the melody input and editing unit 1, and a memory unit semi-permanently storing the melody finally generated by the melody input and editing unit 1. (3), the RAM (4) for storing the same melody stored in the memory unit 3, the telephone receiver 5 for receiving a call when a call to the mobile phone, and the telephone receiver 5 When receiving a call, the telephone ring output unit 6 which reads the melody stored in the RAM 4 and outputs to the incoming call ring of the mobile phone, and the operation of the entire configuration (1 to 6) It consists of the control part 7 to control.

The melody input and editing unit 1 assigns various functions for editing the melody to each button of the mobile phone, that is, the height and the length of the note and the function to set the speed of the rest and the melody to operate the button, thereby controlling the desired melody and You can make melodies with speed.

At this time, the melody can be edited through text processing or graphic processing through the operation of a button. In particular, a melody is displayed on the display unit 2 during graphic processing, and notes and commas are displayed on the sensation to form a melody. Your eyes will be noticeable.

The memory unit 3 is a memory device that can be read and written in hardware. The melody is mainly controlled using an EEPROM memory or a flash memory under the control of the controller 7. The melody created by the input and edit unit 1 is stored.

That is, the reason for using the semi-permanent YPIROM memory or flash memory is that even when the power is turned off and then turned on again, the previously stored melody is not erased and can be used again.

The reason why the melody stored in the memory unit 3 is stored in the RAM 4 again is that when the telephone ring output unit 6 directly reads the melody stored in the memory unit 3, it takes a lot of time. This is to store the melody in the fast RAM (4) to lead the melody at a high speed to output the incoming call ring.

The operation of the melody input device of the mobile phone configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 2 and 3.

FIG. 2 illustrates a melody stored in the RAM 4 when the user receives a call after the user inputs the melody through the melody input and editing unit 1 and stores it in the memory unit 3 and the RAM 4. This is a flow chart showing the process of ringing a ringing incoming call to the mobile phone.

First, in the standby state of the mobile phone that is powered on (S1), it is determined whether the user performs the melody editing mode through the button operation of the mobile phone (S2).

In the case of performing a melody editing mode by inputting and editing a desired melody by operating a mobile phone button to which various melody editing functions are assigned in step S2, the control unit 7 controls the input and editing of the melody on the LCD screen. It displays via the phosphorus display part 2 (S4).

That is, in the case of using the graphic processing function, first, a wrong line is displayed on the display unit 2, and then a note or rest corresponding to a button selected by the user is displayed on the wrong line.

In this case, the user can make a special melody desired by the user by carefully manipulating the height, length, and speed of the note through the melody input and editing unit 1, and finally listens to the melody to be made and then corresponds to the end of editing function. You can end the melody editing by operating the button.

On the other hand, if the melody editing mode is not performed in step S2, the process proceeds to step S5 of determining whether the call reception mode is present.

Subsequently, the controller 7 stores the melody finally made by the melody input and edit unit 1 in the memory unit 3, and at the same time, stores the melody in the RAM 4 having a high processing speed (S4).

Then, when a call is received from the outside, that is, it is determined whether the call reception mode (S5), in the case of the call reception mode to read the melody stored in the RAM (4) at a high speed to ring the incoming call ring of the mobile phone (S6).

Then, the user easily recognizes his / her own phone ring to easily confirm that the call has been made to the user and proceeds with the call to terminate the call (S7, S8).

If it is not the telephone reception mode in step S5, the process returns to step S1 to be in a standby state.

Next, FIG. 3 illustrates that when the melody is already stored in the memory unit 3, the mobile phone is turned off and the melody stored in the memory unit 3 is stored in the RAM 4. It is a flowchart showing the process of ringing the incoming call ring of the mobile phone by reading the melody stored in the RAM (4).

When the mobile phone is turned off (S11), it is determined whether the power is turned on (S12), and when the power is turned on, the controller 7 returns the melody stored in the memory unit 3 to the RAM 4 again. To store (S13).

Then, it is determined whether the telephone reception mode (S14), and if the telephone reception mode is to read the melody stored in the RAM (4) at a high speed to ring the incoming call ring of the mobile phone (S15).

Then, the user easily recognizes that the current ringing ringer is ringing from his mobile phone and proceeds with the call after ending (S16, S17) so that the mobile phone is in a standby state (S18).

If it is not the telephone reception mode in the step (S5) to be in the standby state (S18).
