Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to the field of processing technology for call (signal) calls, and more specifically relates to a method and apparatus for setting up a callback signal and a call bell, and also to a method and system for implementing conversion between a callback signal and a call bell.

State of the art

A callback signal (call waiting signal) is an audio fragment played for the calling party before the called party “picks up the phone” and answers the call initiated by the calling party. The services currently being developed for individualizing callback signals are becoming increasingly popular due to the high flexibility of setting up such services. Within the framework of the individualization (“coloring”) services of callback signals for the calling party, various audio files determined in accordance with the user's settings can be played, and in addition, different callback signals can be set for different calling parties. For example, a group ringback tone or a default ringback tone can be set. To set up a group callback signal, the user ascribes a specific audio file to a group of contacts in his address book, where the sound recorded in such an audio file is a callback signal for a group. When a user initiates a call from any of the users in this group, this user, who is the caller, will hear the sound of this audio file. The default ringback tone is used when the user does not define specific ringback tones for subscribers listed in the address book. Therefore, when such a subscriber initiates a user call, the caller hears a callback signal set by the user for use by default. The correspondence relationship between the caller and the user-defined audio file is stored in the callback signaling platform.

When the calling party initiates the call, the callback signal platform plays back the corresponding audio file for the calling party in accordance with the stored correspondence relationship between the calling party and the audio file.

A call bell is an audio fragment played for the called party by the user terminal of the called party when a call is received for the user. The user can set different ring tones for different callers using the user terminal, for example, such as a group ringtone or the default ringtone. A group call bell is an audio file assigned by the user for a specific group of contacts in the address book, so that the sound of the audio file is used as a ringtone for that group. When a user initiates a call to this user by a member of such a group, the called party hears the sound of the corresponding audio file. The default call ringtone is a ringtone used in cases when the user does not define specific ringing tones for subscribers listed in the address book. Therefore, when such a subscriber initiates a call to this user, the called party hears the call ring set by this user for use by default.

Currently, there are three schemes for callback signals: a smart network diagram, a calling party subscriber station diagram, and a called party subscriber station diagram.

Step A: the caller initiates a call to the Service Switching Point (SSP); SSP starts the intelligent service in accordance with the label of the callback signal service in the call and transmits the label information to the Service Control Point (SCP); SCP receives the callback ring number and transmits it to the SSP.

Step B: The SSP initiates a call to the called party and the callback signaling platform according to the received number for the callback signal.

Step C: a voice channel is established via SSP and operating under SSP control, and the voice channel connects the called party to the calling party, and a voice channel is established and activated via SSP under SSP control, so that the voice channel connects the callback signal platform and the calling side .

Step D: The callback signal platform reproduces an individual callback signal for the calling party via the voice channel between the callback signaling platform and the calling party.

Step E: the called party picks up the phone, which activates the voice channel between the calling party and the called party, after which the calling party and the called party communicate with each other via the voice channel. At this time, the SSP disconnects from the callback signaling platform and frees up the callback signaling platform resources.

Figure 1 schematically illustrates the architecture of a system for loading and setting up a call ring, as is known in the art. As shown in FIG. 1, the system includes a call ring loading server, a proxy gateway using Push technology (Push Proxy Gateway, PPG), a wireless application protocol (WAP) gateway, and a mobile terminal. The call ringtone download server is configured to transmit information about the ringtone selected by the user to the PPG and transmit the ringtone to the mobile terminal via the WAP gateway in accordance with the call ringtone download request received from the mobile terminal. PPG is configured to generate a Push message in accordance with the call information received from the call ringtone download server and send a Push message containing information about the ringtone download to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal is configured to connect to the WAP gateway in accordance with the Push message received from the PPG, send the request to download the call ringtone to the call ringtone download server through the WAP gateway, and download the call ringtone transmitted by the call ringtone download server through the WAP gateway. Since the exchange of information between the mobile terminal and the WAP gateway is based on WAP technology, and the exchange of information between the WAP gateway and the call ringtone download server is based on the HTTP protocol (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol), the WAP gateway is capable of converting the protocol for information transferred between a mobile terminal and a call ringtone download server, from one format to another. In addition, the mobile terminal is configured to set the received call ringtone for use as a ringtone for the respective subscribers listed in the address book in accordance with the actions performed by the user. PPG is mainly intended for the active forced transfer of information, the receipt of a push request (request for forced transfer) of WAP information from the server for loading call calls and transmitting the corresponding WAP information to the mobile terminal.

In addition, the exchange of information between the call call download server and PPG is based on the PAP (Push Access Protocol) protocol, and the exchange of information between the PPC and the mobile terminal is based on the P-OTA protocol (Push Over-The-Air).

The user can register on the server to download call calls through a personal computer (PC) or mobile terminal and select a call call to download. When a user registers with a call ringtone download server via a PC, the PC registers with a call ringtone download server via the Internet, after which the user can select a ringtone to download using the PC’s interaction with the ringtone download server. When a user registers with the call ringtone download server through the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal registers with the ringtone download server via the WAP gateway, after which the user can select the ringtone to download using the interaction of the mobile terminal with the ringtone download server.

Figure 2 presents a block diagram of the operations of loading and setting up call rings, as is known from the prior art. As shown in FIG. 2, loading and setting up a call bell includes the following steps.

Steps 201-202: the user logs on to the call ringtone download server through a PC or mobile terminal and selects the call ringtone to download using the interaction of the ringtone download server with a PC or mobile terminal.

Step 203: after the user selects the call ringtone to download, the ringtone download server transfers to the PPG information about the ringtone selected by the user.

Step 204: after receiving the call ringtone information, the PPG gateway generates a push message in accordance with the ringtone information and transmits a push message containing information about the ringtone download to the mobile terminal. The next steps involve the participation of a mobile terminal, but not a PC.

Steps 205-206: the mobile terminal receives the Push message, establishes a connection with the WAP gateway in accordance with the Push message, and transmits a request to download the call ring to the WAP gateway. After receiving a request to download a call bell, the WAP gateway sends a request to download a call bell to the call ringtone download server and issues a request to download the corresponding call bell.

Step 207: Upon receiving the call ringtone download request, the ringtone download server transfers the ringtone selected by the user to the WAP gateway.

Step 208: Upon receipt of the call, the WAP gateway transmits a call selected by the user to the mobile terminal.

Step 209: upon receipt of the call, the mobile terminal transmits receipt confirmation to the WAP gateway to inform the WAP gateway of the successful reception of the call bell.

Step 210: After receiving a confirmation of receipt, the WAP gateway transmits the result of the transfer of the call to the call ringtone download server to inform the call ringtone download server to complete the current call ringtone download operation.

Step 211: upon receipt of a call bell, the mobile terminal can configure the call bell in accordance with the actions of the user to use the call bell as a call bell for the corresponding subscriber included in the address book.

There are no explicit time sequences for performing steps 209-210 and step 211. Steps 209-210 and step 211 may be performed simultaneously; a variant is also possible in which steps 209-210 are first performed and then step 211; a variant is also possible in which step 211 is first performed and then steps 209-210.

Figure 3 presents a schematic diagram of a system for setting callback signals, as is known from the prior art. As shown in FIG. 3, such a system comprises peripheral equipment, a web server, and a callback signaling platform. The peripheral equipment is configured to register callback signals in the platform via a web server and submit a request to configure the callback signal by the callback platform. The callback signal platform is configured to configure a user terminal callback signal in accordance with a request to configure a callback signal and maintain a correspondence relationship between the configured callback signal and the calling party. The web server is configured to convert protocols for information transmitted between the peripheral equipment and the callback signaling platform. The exchange of information between peripheral equipment and the web server is based on the HTTP protocol, and the exchange of information between the web server and the callback signaling platform is based on the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). The peripheral equipment may be a personal computer (PC).

Figure 4 presents a block diagram of the operation of setting the callback signal, as is known from the prior art. As shown in FIG. 4, setting up the callback signal includes the following steps.

Step 401: the peripheral equipment sends a registration request to the callback signaling platform; The callback signaling platform authenticates peripheral equipment. Upon successful authentication, the peripheral equipment registers the callback signals in the platform.

Steps 402-403: The peripheral equipment sends a request to configure a callback signal to the web server to configure the callback signal. Upon receiving a request to configure a callback signal, the web server sends a request to configure a callback signal to the callback signaling platform.

Step 404: upon receiving a request to configure a callback signal, the callback signaling platform adjusts the callback signal for the user terminal in accordance with the request to configure the callback signal and saves the correspondence relationship between the calling party and the configured callback signal.

Steps 405-406: Upon completion of the callback setup, the callback framework returns the result of the callback setup to the web server to inform the peripheral that the callback has been configured successfully. Having received the result of setting the callback signal, the web server transmits the result of setting the callback signal to the peripheral equipment.

Studies conducted by the author of the invention have shown that the conversion between a call ringing and a callback signal cannot be implemented within the framework of known solutions.

Since, within the framework of the known solutions, the ringing call and the ringback signal cannot be converted into one another, it is impossible to ensure that the ringing and ringing ringtones, which are the same sound, are stored in the terminal and on the network side. Even in the case when the call bell and the callback signal, which are the same sound, are stored in the terminal and on the network side, they are configured separately and there is no correlation between them, as a result of which the user who wants to establish the same call bell and the callback signal for any subscriber or group of subscribers should initiate and make their respective settings separately. Consequently, the appropriate settings for the call ringtone and callback signal must be done separately by the user, which is irrational, associated with significant inconvenience for the user and negatively affects the development and application of callback ringtone and call ringtone loading services.

The implementation of the invention

In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method for converting a callback signal to a call ringtone, which allows a callback signal to be converted to a ringtone on a terminal. As shown in FIG. 5, the method includes the following main steps.

Stage 1: the network side determines the necessary call ring data corresponding to the configured callback signal, and sends such data to the user terminal.

Stage 2: the user terminal receives a call ring in accordance with the necessary data.

According to a first embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for converting a callback signal into a call ringtone comprising the following steps.

Step 101: The network callback signaling platform determines the necessary callback data corresponding to the configured callback signal.

Since both the callbacks stored in the callback database and the callbacks are all numbered, the callback can be a regular callback, such as a call containing an audio recording, or a multimedia callback containing an audio fragment, video clip, image and etc. The callback signaling platform can determine the ringing tone corresponding to the configured ringing tone through the correspondence relationship between the ringing tone number and the ringing ring number, and then determine the necessary data. The ringback tone number and the corresponding ringtone number can be identical. In this case, the callback signal platform performs a direct search for the call ring number matching the callback signal number to determine the call ring corresponding to the configured callback signal. In an alternative embodiment, the rules for numbering callback signals and call rings may be different; in this case, the ringback tone number and the corresponding ringing bell number may also be different. In this case, the correspondence relationship between the callback signal number and the call ring number can be established using the callback ring numbering rule and the call ringing numbering rule, after which the call ring corresponding to the configured callback signal can be determined.

The following are two examples of possible required data.

In the first example, the necessary data defined by the callback signaling platform is the call ringing itself.

In the second example, the necessary data defined by the callback signaling platform is the download URL for the call ringing.

Step 102: the callback signaling platform sends the necessary data to the user terminal.

During this operation, the callback signaling platform may first forward the necessary callback data corresponding to the callback signal to the Data Management System (DMS).

The DMS then determines whether a Management Object (MO) exists in the user terminal to direct the necessary data. If the necessary data exists in the user terminal, the DMS directly activates the control object to send the necessary data to the user terminal.

Otherwise, the DMS transmits a control object to the user terminal to forward the necessary data. The user terminal stores the control object sent by the DMS. Then, the DMS activates the control object stored in the user terminal to forward the necessary data to the user terminal.

Alternatively, the necessary data can be located directly in the node of the control object for direction to the user terminal when the DMS transmits the control object for sending the necessary data to the user terminal.

The DMS may also not determine whether a control object exists in the user terminal to send the necessary data, and directly transmit the control object to send the necessary data. The specific actions in this case are the same as described above.

Two examples of the necessary data for step 101 correspond to two examples of the direction of the necessary data.

In the first example, the DMS receives call information in the user terminal. The DMS transmits a call bell to the user terminal if there is no call bell. Alternatively, the DMS may directly transmit the call ring to the user terminal.

In the second example, the DMS receives call information in the user terminal. If there is no call ring, the DMS sends the download address and download command to the user terminal. Alternatively, the DMS may directly transmit the download address and download command to the user terminal.

Step 103: The user terminal receives a call ring in accordance with the necessary data.

In the case corresponding to the first example of step 101, the user terminal receives and stores the call ring sent by the DMS.

In the case corresponding to the second example of step 101, the user terminal executes the download command transmitted from the DMS and downloads the call bell from the download address sent by the DMS.

This operation completes the automatic receipt by the terminal of the call ringer corresponding to the callback signal.

The user terminal can also designate the appropriate call ringtone as an active ringtone in accordance with a command from the network side to ensure automatic synchronization of the ringtone and ringtone even if a logically complex ringtone configuration is used. The following two modes of transmitting instructions to the network side.

Mode 1: The control object is transmitted in data management (DM) mode in order to configure call ringing in the user terminal.

Upon receiving instructions to configure the terminal's call ringtone, the callback platform instructs the DMS to configure the ringtone for the user terminal accordingly. The DMS adjusts the call ring in accordance with the instructions sent by the callback platform by transmitting the tuning control object to the user terminal and activating the tuning control object or by directly activating the tuning control object present in the user terminal. The tuning control object transmitted to the DMS user terminal and the control object for sending the necessary data can be transmitted to the user terminal together or separately. In other words, the DMS can send the necessary call ring data and configure the call in the terminal at the same time, or send the necessary call ring data and configure the call in the terminal separately.

If the instruction to configure the terminal call ringtone adopted by the callback signaling platform contains a terminal ringtone setting strategy, and the terminal ringtone setting strategy contains the duration of the ringtone in the ringtone, for example, complex logic configuring the control object transmitted from the DMS may contain a control object to configure call ringtone and scheduling management object to process call duration. After completing the above step, the DMS adjusts the logic of the planned operation for the planning control object in accordance with the duration of the call. When the conditions of the planning control object are fulfilled, the planning control object starts the operation logic to activate the call ringer control object in order to configure the call ringer in the user terminal.

Mode 2: The callback signal number is contained in the CONNECT (connection) instruction transmitted to the user terminal by the switching center, whereby the user terminal uses the call in accordance with the callback signal number.

In the above steps, in step 102, when the callback signaling platform sends the necessary data to the user terminal, at the same time, a correspondence table between callback signal numbers and call ring numbers can be transmitted and stored in the user terminal.

After performing step 103, during the establishment of the call, the switching center receives the number of the existing callback signal from the callback signaling platform and enters the received number into the CONNECT instruction transmitted to the user terminal. The user terminal retrieves the number contained in the CONNECT statement. Then, the user terminal locally searches for the call ring corresponding to the received number in the table of correspondence relations between the ringback signal numbers and ringing call numbers, if such a table is locally stored in the user terminal. In another possible embodiment, the user terminal locally searches for a call ring with the same number if the correspondence relationship table between callback signal numbers and call ring numbers is not stored locally in the user terminal. After finding the desired call bell, the user terminal makes calls by setting the found call bell as the active call bell. If the desired call bell is not found, the user terminal makes calls using the active call bell.

The following is a detailed description of embodiments of the method according to the invention.

According to a second embodiment of the present invention, a call bell is transmitted directly in DM mode, and a call bell is configured in a user terminal by a control entity. As shown in FIG. 6, the method of the present embodiment includes the following steps.

Step 1: The user interface application sends a logical command to configure the callback signal and instructions to configure the call to the server of individualized ringback tones (CRBT). The user interface application may be a portal or SMS message, etc., and the CRBT server is included in the callback signaling platform.

Step 2: The CRBT server configures the callback signal and determines the necessary callback data corresponding to the configured callback signal.

Step 3: The CRBT server sends the call call processing request and the necessary data to the DMS.

Required data may include call information; unique call identification, such as call identifier (ID), name, validity, size, author’s name, copyright holder’s name; a tuning strategy, such as a strategy for changing a call over time functional teams:

call setup command, specific call delete command; call data: the actual call call.

The following is an example of a specific implementation.

Step 4: The DMS preprocesses, for example, converting the command format. If complex logic is used, the DMS can additionally determine the planned operations.

Step 5: DMS establishes a data management (DM) session with a user terminal (device).

Step 6: DMS requests call information and user terminal call setup information

Step 7: The user terminal returns the result of the request to the DMS.

Step 8: DMS generates a control object for sending the necessary data to the user terminal, a control object for setting up the call bell. In the case of complex logic, the DMS can also optionally generate a scheduling control object for setting the call duration. DMS transfers the generated control object to the user terminal; in the following description, the generated control object is referred to as SoundMO. The DMS transmits the call bell to the user terminal through the control object. An example of SoundMO is presented in Fig.7.

In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the call ring number, for example, 601502000000001001 is stored in the “ID” node. This number corresponds to the number of the configured ringback tone.

The main node corresponding to the control object looks like

This table illustrates the data format indicated by the identifier.

Downloading the call file can be done by executing the Replace command (replacement) for the Data node in Fig. 7 and sending the call file directly to the Data node.

The following command is used to download a call.

Note: If at step 7 it is indicated that the given call bell has already been saved in the user terminal, execution proceeds to step 10. If at step 7 it is indicated that this call bell has already been assigned as the active call ring of the user terminal, execution ends.

Step 9: The user terminal returns the result of the operation.

Step 10: DMS sends the installation / configuration command to the user terminal.

Upon completion of the download, the control object of Fig. 7 executes the Exc (execution) command for the Install node to ensure that the installation of the call file is completed. Installation means adding a call file to the call list of the terminal. The added call does not have to be configured as an active call. To configure this call as an active call, a command is sent, for example, the Ex command to activate the call setup node (Active node).

The following command is used to set up and activate a call.

Step 11: The user terminal sets up the call ring according to the command.

Steps 12-14: The user terminal returns the configuration result to the network side.

According to a third embodiment of the present invention, the call ringtone download address is transmitted in the data management (DM) mode, and the ringtone setup and download is performed by the control entity. As shown in FIG. 8, this embodiment of the invention includes the following steps.

Step 1: The user interface application sends a logical command to configure the callback signal and instructions to configure the call to the server of the individualized ringback tones (Coloring Ring Back Tone), the user interface application can be a portal / SMS message, etc., and the server CRBT is included in the callback signaling platform.

Step 2: The CRBT server configures the callback signal and determines the necessary callback data corresponding to the configured callback signal.

Step 3: The CRBT server sends the call call processing request and the necessary data to the DMS.

The required data includes call information: unique call identification, such as call identifier (ID), name, validity, size, author’s name, copyright holder’s name; customization strategy.

for example, a strategy for changing a call over time; functional teams:

call setup command, specific call delete command; call data:

URL address where the call file is stored. The following is an example of a specific implementation.

Step 4: DMS preprocesses, for example, converting the command format. If complex logic is used, the DMS can optionally determine scheduled operations.

Step 5: DMS establishes a data management (DM) session with a user terminal (device).

Step 6: The DMS requests the call information and the call setup information of the user terminal.

Step 7: The user terminal returns the query results to the DMS.

Step 8: DMS generates a control object for sending the necessary data to the user terminal, a control object for setting up the call bell. In the case of complex logic, the DMS can also optionally generate a scheduling control object for setting the call duration. The DMS transmits the generated control object to the user terminal (in the further description, the generated control object is referred to as SoundMO) and transmits the download address and the call ringtone download command to the user terminal via the control object. An example of SoundMO is presented in Fig.7.

In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, the call ring number, for example 601502000000001001, is stored in the ID node. This number corresponds to the number of the configured ringback tone.

The main node corresponding to the control object looks like

This table illustrates the data format indicated by the identifier. Downloading the call file can be accomplished by executing the Replace command (replacement) for the “URL” node (URL node) of FIG. 7 to direct the download address of the call file, and then executing the Exec (execution) command for the “Download” node, which causes the terminal to download the call from the content server.

To load a call, use the following command:

If it is known in step 7 for these actions, for example, that the given call is already stored in the user terminal, execution proceeds to step 12. If at step 7 it is indicated that the given call is already assigned as the active call in the user terminal, the execution ends.

Step 9: The user terminal sends a request to download data according to the content server to download the call bell from the download address. This step can also be performed between steps 12 and 13.

Step 10: The content server returns a call to the user terminal located at the download address.

Step 11: The user terminal returns the result of the operation to the DMS.

Step 12: The DMS sends the installation / configuration command to the user terminal.

Upon completion of the download, the control object of FIG. 7 executes the Exec command for the Install node to ensure that the installation of the call file is completed. Installation means adding a call file to the call list of the terminal. The added call does not have to be configured as an active call. To configure this call as an active call, a command is issued, for example, the Exec command, to activate the call setup node (Active node). To install and activate a call, use the following command:

Step 13: The user terminal sets up the call ring in accordance with the command.

Steps 14-16: The user terminal returns the configuration result to the network side.

According to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a circuit in which a call bell is transmitted directly in a data management (DM) mode. During the establishment of a call, the switching center transmits a CONNECT instruction containing the number of the current callback signal to the device (terminal) of the user, which triggers the corresponding call call. In this embodiment, the following steps are available.

Steps 1-10 are the same as steps 1-10 of the first embodiment.

Step 11: During call setup, the switching center connected to the CRBT server in the callback signaling platform requests the information about the callback signal from the CRBT server and receives the current callback signal number. A switching center can be a calling or called Mobile Switching Center (MSC) in a GSM network, a fixed network switch, or a proxy server that sends an Invite command.

Step 12: The current callback signal number is transmitted as part of the CONNECT instruction when the CONNECT instruction is transmitted to the user terminal.

In these operations, the method of including the current callback signal number is to expand the CONNECT instruction transmitted by the switching center to the user terminal. An extended CONNECT statement can be a CONNECT statement used on an intelligent network or an SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) Invite command.

The following is an implementation option for the extension in the form of the Invite command of the SIP protocol. The extended part may have the following form.

The following is an example of an extended Invite command, in which SoundID is an extended message header.

Step 13: The called user terminal performs a local search in the terminal of the corresponding call bell in accordance with the number contained in the received command. If a corresponding call bell exists, the terminal makes a call using the call found for the user. Otherwise, the currently configured call is used to make calls.

With these operations, there is a slight change in the logic of the user's terminal calls. The changed logic is illustrated in FIG. 9.

Upon receipt of the CONNECT instruction, the user terminal first receives the terminal settings to determine whether to play the call. If so, the terminal determines whether the CONNECT statement contains the callback signal number. Otherwise, the user terminal vibrates.

If the CONNECT statement contains a ringback tone number, that number is retrieved, after which a local search is made for the corresponding ringtone. If a corresponding call bell is detected, a call parameter is received in the terminal, for example, the volume, after which the terminal plays the call. Otherwise, the terminal plays the call using the currently configured call. If the CONNECT instruction does not contain a ringback tone number, the terminal immediately plays the call using the currently configured call.

In a fourth embodiment of the invention, the CONNECT instruction is sent to the called user terminal after receiving the callback signal data from the CRBT server. A fourth embodiment of the invention cannot be used in a callback signaling scheme in which a CONNECT instruction is sent to a called user terminal before receiving a callback signal data from a CRBT server.

The invention also provides a callback signaling platform. The interface between the callback signaling platform and the DMS is responsible for transmitting the necessary call ringtone data, as well as call ringtone setup commands, and the ringtone call data needed can be the ringtone itself, the ringtone download URL, etc. Such an interface can be implemented through the DM Web Service Interface (DM WSI) or use an individual interface between the callback platform and the DMS, for example, based on calls of the modified RPC protocol (Remote Procedure Call).

The callback signaling platform according to the invention comprises a callback signal data module, a call control module, a call ringing data sending module and a terminal call ringing data module, wherein these modules are interconnected in series.

The callback signal data module is configured to store a callback signal.

The call control module is configured to configure a callback signal and launch a call ringing data sending module upon receiving a call ringtone loading instruction, as well as launching a terminal call ringtone setting module when receiving a terminal call ringtone setup instruction.

The call ringing data sending module is configured to search for a ringing call corresponding to the currently configured callback signal in the terminal ringing data module and sending the necessary ringing call data to the user terminal.

The call ring stored in the terminal call ring data module corresponds to the ring back signal stored in the ring ring signal data module. The terminal call call data module may also be provided as part of a content server independent of the callback signaling platform.

According to a fifth embodiment of the invention, there is provided a circuit for automatically synchronizing between a ring back tone and a ringing bell, corresponding to Mode 1 of transmitting an instruction by the network side according to the method described above, comprising a terminal call ringtone setup module connected to the call management module as shown in FIG. .10. In addition, a strategy setting module is further provided, connected to a terminal call ringtone setting module.

The terminal call ringtone setup module is configured to generate a ringtone setup logic in the terminal in accordance with the terminal call ringtone setup strategy and transmit configuration commands to the terminal. The terminal call ringtone setup module can also send a delete command to the terminal containing the terminal ringtone number corresponding to the currently configured callback signal, if it is known that this callback signal is not working.

The strategy settings module can be used by the user to configure the strategy or by the system to set the default strategy, and such a strategy represents the conditions for the call settings module of the terminal’s call setup to generate the call settings in the terminal.

In accordance with a sixth embodiment of the invention, the number providing module shown in FIG. 11 is connected to the callback signal data module and is designed to automatically synchronize between the ringtone ringtone and the ringtone in accordance with the Network transmission mode 2 in the above method.

The number providing module is configured to provide the switching center with a corresponding callback signal number during call setup.

In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a user terminal is further provided comprising a first control object (MO) storage module and a receiving module interconnected.

The first module for storing control objects is configured to save the control object transmitted by the DMS and used to direct the necessary call ring data corresponding to the callback signal.

The receiving module is configured to receive a call bell in accordance with the necessary data transmitted by activating the control object stored in the first module for storing management objects of the network side.

In accordance with a seventh embodiment of the invention, the second control object storage (MO) storage module and the first execution module, shown in FIG. 12, are provided, connected to each other and for automatic synchronization between the ringback tone and the ringing bell in accordance with the instruction transmission Mode 1 the network side in the above method.

The second module for storing control objects is configured to save the control object transmitted by the network side to configure the call or to save the control object transmitted by the network side to configure the call and the planning control object to process the call duration.

The first executive module is configured to use the control object to configure the call ring stored in the second module for storing the control objects, in accordance with the command transmitted by the network side, in order to complete the call ring setting for the user. In one embodiment, the first executive module may be configured to engage a control object to configure a call ring stored in a second control object storage module in accordance with a command transmitted by a planning control object stored in a second control object storage module in order to complete call ringer settings for the user.

According to an eighth embodiment of the invention, a number identification module, a search module and a second executive module, shown in FIG. 13, are connected in series and are designed to automatically synchronize between a ring back tone and a ring in accordance with Mode 2 of the instruction transmission by the network side in the above method.

The number identification module is configured to identify the number in the CONNECT instruction.

The search module is configured to perform a local search for the call bell corresponding to the number identified by the number determination module.

The second executive module is configured to play a call ring found by the search module.

The method by which a terminal receives a call of the present invention is not limited to sending the necessary call data of a terminal call to a user terminal in a data management mode. Alternatively, the call bell and call setup instructions may be transmitted via a multimedia message. The setup instruction may be an AT instruction or an extended specific instruction.

For example, upon receiving instructions for setting up a callback signal for use as a terminal call ringtone, the callback signaling platform generates a multimedia message, the content of which is a call ringtone corresponding to a callback signal. A special identifier is included in the multimedia message. Then, the callback signaling platform interacts with the Multimedia Message Service (MMS) server and transmits the multimedia message to the user terminal. The user terminal identifies the specific identifier contained in the multimedia message and finds out that the call contained in the multimedia message is used to set up the ringing bell. Then, the call contained in the multimedia message is retrieved and saved. This embodiment of the invention also allows for synchronization between ringing a ringback tone and a ringing bell. For example, a call setup instruction is transmitted via a short message or multimedia message in order to complete the setup of a call ringer in a user terminal. Alternatively, the current callback signal number is included when called into the CONNECT instruction, after which the user terminal identifies the corresponding call ringtone and searches for it.

A system for converting a callback signal to a call bell according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises

a network element on the network side, configured to determine the necessary call ringer data corresponding to the configured callback signal, and route said necessary data;

a user terminal configured to receive a call ring in accordance with the necessary data sent by the network side; and

a callback signaling platform on the network side, configured to determine the necessary callback data corresponding to the configured callback signal and transmit the necessary data to the user terminal via the Device Management Server (DMS). Namely, the DMS sends the necessary data to the user terminal by transmitting to the user terminal a control object (MO) used to send the necessary data, or by activating the control object used to send the necessary data already present in the user terminal.

In the diagram of one embodiment of the invention, the call ringtone download server receives the callback signal setup result transmitted by the callback signaling platform and provides the user terminal with a call ringtone corresponding to the callback signal setup result through the gateway. The user terminal configures such a ringtone to be used as a ringtone for the calling party, as a result of setting a ringback tone. In other words, the callback signaling platform informs the call ringtone download server of the result of setting up the callback signal upon completion of setting up the callback signal in accordance with the user's request. The call ringtone download server provides the user terminal with a ringtone corresponding to the result of setting the callback signal after receiving the result of setting the ringback signal. The user terminal configures such a ringtone to be used as a ringtone for the calling party, as a result of setting a ringback tone.

In the case where the call ringtone download is initiated by setting up the callback signal, the system used to configure the callback signal and call ringtone includes the callback signaling platform, call ringtone download server and user terminal. 14 illustrates the connections between them. The callback signal platform is configured to configure the callback signal in accordance with the request of the user and inform the call ringtone download server of the result of the callback signal setup. The call ringtone download server is configured to receive a ring back tone setting result and provide the user terminal with a ring tone corresponding to the ring back tone setting result. The user terminal is configured to receive a call ringtone and configure the received call ringtone for use as a call ringtone for the calling party, as a result of setting a callback signal in accordance with the user's actions. An additional gateway may be provided between the user terminal and the call ringtone download server. This gateway is configured to transmit information exchanged between a user terminal and a call ringtone download server. The system for setting the ringtone and ringback tone may further comprise a web server. The user can register on the callback signaling platform through a web server using peripheral equipment and send the callback signaling platform a request for setting up a callback signal. In alternative embodiments, the user can also register on the callback signaling platform using other methods. For example, a user may register on a callback signaling platform directly through a user terminal.

On Fig presents a first conditional diagram illustrating the architecture of a system for setting up a call ringtone and a callback signal according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 15, the gateway of FIG. 14 may comprise a proxy gateway using Push (Push Proxy Gateway, PPG) technology and a WAP gateway. In this case, the call ringtone download server is configured to transmit call ringtone information to the PPG and transmit the ringtone to the WAP gateway in accordance with the call ringtone download request received from the WAP gateway. The PPG is configured to generate a push message in accordance with call ring information from the call ringtone download server and transmit a push message containing call ringtone download information to the user terminal. The WAP gateway is configured to transmit a call ringtone and a call ringtone download request, exchanged between the user terminal and the ringtone download server. The user terminal establishes a connection with the WAP gateway after receiving a Push message from the PPG, transmits the call ringtone download request to the ringtone download server, and downloads the ringtone transmitted by the ringtone download server through the WAP gateway.

The PPG must send a push message to the user terminal in accordance with the call ring information provided by the call ringtone download server. However, if the message processing module in the user terminal is not turned on, the user terminal cannot receive a push message, which may lead to an unsuccessful operation. In this regard, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the following solution is proposed. When the message processing module in the user terminal is turned on, a message is sent to the WAP gateway about the transition to online mode (online message); when the message processing module of the user terminal is turned off, a message is sent to the WAP gateway to switch to offline mode (offline message). The message online or offline contains the identifier of the message processing module. As the identifier of the message processing module, the identifier of the user terminal may be used. Thus, the WAP gateway provides an online list of message processing modules of all user terminals, and such an online list contains identifiers of online message processing modules. When receiving an online message transmitted by the message processing module in the user terminal, the identifier of the message processing module of the user terminal is added to the online list. When receiving an offline message transmitted by the message processing module in the user terminal, the identifier of the message processing module of the user terminal is deleted from the online list. The call call download server contacts the WAP gateway to determine if the message processing module of the corresponding user terminal is online. If confirmed, the call ringtone download server transfers call ringtone information to the PPG. Otherwise, the call ringtone information is buffered in the message queue by the call ringtone download server. If it is determined that the message processing module in the user terminal is online, the call ring information is sent to the PPG. The method used by the call ringtone download server to find out that the message processing module in the user terminal is online includes periodically contacting the WAP gateway regarding the online list or requesting the WAP gateway to send a message to the call ringtone download server when the message processing module of the corresponding terminal user goes online.

To prevent situations when the message processing module is accidentally turned off without sending an offline message to the WAP gateway, due to the accidental disconnection of the user terminal, the validity period can be set in the WAP gateway. If the time spent by the message processing module in the user terminal on-line exceeds this limit of validity, the message processing module of this user terminal can be considered already switched to offline and the identifier of the message processing module of this user terminal is deleted from the online list. When the WAP gateway receives new messages online from the message processing module of this user terminal, the message processing module identifier is added to the online list.

On Fig presents the first diagram of the settings of the call ringer and callback signal according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 16, in this embodiment, the operation of setting up a call ringer and a ring back tone includes the following steps.

Step 701: The callback signaling platform configures the user terminal's callback signal in accordance with the user's request. The user can register on the callback signaling platform through a web server using peripheral equipment and send the callback signaling platform a request for setting up a callback signal. In alternative embodiments, the user can also register on the callback signaling platform using other methods. For example, a user may register on a callback signaling platform directly from a user terminal.

Step 702: After completing the setup of the callback signal, the callback signaling platform informs the call ringtone download server of the result of setting the callback signal. The result of setting the callback signal may contain at least user information and ringback signal information. If the user sets an audio file as the ringback tone, the result of setting the ringback tone may also contain user information and the correspondence relationship between the ringback tone and the calling party.

Step 703: The call ringtone download server receives the callback ringtone setup result, determines the ringtone corresponding to the ringtone setup result, and then contacts the WAP gateway regarding the identifier of the message processing module in the user terminal contained in the online list to determine if the module is located processing messages in the user terminal, corresponding to user information, online. If the message processing module in the user terminal is online, execution proceeds to step 704; otherwise, call ringing information is buffered in the message queue. To find out that the message processing module of the corresponding user terminal is online, the call ringtone download server can use the following methods: periodically contact the WAP gateway regarding the online list or request the WAP gateway to send a message to the call ringtone download server when the message processing module of the corresponding The user's terminal goes online.

Step 704: The call ringtone download server transmits call ringtone information corresponding to the result of setting the callback signal to the PPG.

Step 705: Having received the call ringtone information, the PPG generates a push message in accordance with the ringtone information, and then transmits a push message containing call ringtone download information to the user terminal.

Step 706: After receiving the push message, the user terminal searches the locally stored files to determine if there is a file among them corresponding to the ringing tone. If such a file exists, step 713 is directly executed; otherwise, execution proceeds to step 707. A file corresponding to a call is understood to mean a locally stored file whose format corresponds to the format of the call. Accordingly, files that do not correspond to a call ringer are understood to mean files that are not saved locally, or files whose format does not correspond to the format of a ringer call.

Before searching for a file corresponding to a call ringtone, the user terminal may first display a request to the user through the operating interface whether the user wants to download the ringtone. If confirmation is received from the user, execution proceeds to step 706; otherwise, execution ends immediately, that is, no operation is performed.

Steps 707-708: The user terminal establishes a connection with the WAP gateway in accordance with the received push message and transmits a call ringtone download request to the WAP gateway. Having received the request to download the call bell, the WAP gateway sends the request to download the call bell to the call ringtone download server and requests the download of the corresponding call bell.

Step 709: Upon receiving the call ringtone download request, the ringtone download server provides the WAP gateway with a ringtone corresponding to the result of setting the ringback tone.

Step 710: Upon receiving the call ring, the WAP gateway provides the user terminal with a call ring corresponding to the result of setting the ring back tone.

Step 711: Having received the call bell, the user terminal transmits receipt confirmation to the WAP gateway, which informs the WAP gateway about the successful reception of the call bell.

Step 712: Upon receipt of confirmation of receipt, the WAP gateway transmits the result of the call setup to the call ringtone download server to inform the call ringtone download server that the current call ringtone download is complete.

Step 713: After receiving a call, the user terminal can configure the call to be used as a call for the calling party, as a result of setting up a ring back tone in accordance with the user's actions.

There are no explicit time sequences for performing steps 711-712 and step 713. Steps 711-712 and step 713 may be performed simultaneously; a variant is also possible in which steps 711-712 are first executed, and then step 713; a variant is also possible in which step 713 is performed first and then steps 711-712.

Instead of the above steps 703-713, the following steps may also be used in which the OMA standard loading mode (Open Mobile Alliance) is used to direct the necessary call ring data corresponding to the result of setting the callback signal. The following specific steps are used.

Step 1: The call ringtone download server receives the result of the callback signal setting, determines the call ringtone corresponding to the result of the callback signaling setting, and then forcibly transmits the call descriptor file (Download Descriptor, DD) to the user terminal. Such a file is used to describe the information of the call file intended for download. This information may contain information about the provider, file size, installation parameter, installation notification message, etc. Forced transmission can be done using the Push WAP mechanism or the MMS mechanism. In the case of using the Push WAP mechanism, the Application ID element should use x-oma-application: dlota.ua with the binary form 0 × 11. The following is an example DD file:

Step 2: The user terminal analyzes the received DD file, determines whether the capabilities of the terminal satisfy the download requirements (for example, if there is enough memory), and downloads the call file in accordance with the address information contained in the ObjectURI element of the DD file. Download is done by sending an HTTP request to the address specified in the ObjectURI element.

Step 3: Upon completion of the download, the user terminal configures the call ring in accordance with the instructions in the installNotifyURI element of the DD file. If the DD file also contains the installParam element, the call setup is made according to the instructions in the installation parameters in the installParam element.

Step 4: Upon completion of call ringtone setup, the user terminal transmits information about the setting result to the specified server according to the address information in the installNotifyURI element of the DD file. HTTP is used to transmit this information.

In accordance with a further embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method for converting a call ringtone into a callback signal, including the following basic steps.

Upon completion of the call ringtone setup, the user terminal reports the result of the ringtone setup to the callback signaling platform. The callback signaling platform inserts a callback signal corresponding to the call ringtone into the ringback signal array of this user terminal in accordance with the result of setting the call ringtone.

In accordance with a further embodiment of the invention, there is provided a system for converting a call ringtone into a callback signal, which comprises:

a user terminal configured to configure a call bell and with the ability to report the result of setting a call bell; and

a callback signal platform configured to insert a callback signal corresponding to the call ringtone into the ringback signal array of this user terminal in accordance with the result of the ringtone setup transmitted by the user terminal.

In addition, the user terminal completes the ringtone setup in accordance with the user’s actions and also, in accordance with the user’s actions, transmits a callback signaling platform to the callback signaling setup based on the result of the ringing call setup. The callback signaling platform adjusts the callback signal of the user terminal in accordance with the received request.

In the case where the ringback tone setting is triggered by the ringing tone setting, the system for setting the ringing tone and ringback tone may include a user terminal and a ringback tone platform. The connections between them are illustrated in FIG. 14, where the user terminal is configured to configure the ringtone in accordance with the actions of the user and also, in accordance with the actions of the user, transmits to the ringback signaling platform a request to configure the ringback ringtone based on the result of setting up the ringtone. The callback signal platform is configured to configure a callback signal of a user terminal in accordance with a received request.

In the case where the ringback tone setup is triggered by the ringing ringtone setup, the system for setting the ringtone and ringback tone may include a user terminal, a ringtone platform and a ringtone download server. The connections between them are illustrated in FIG. 14, where the user terminal is configured to configure a ringtone in accordance with user actions, such as, for example, setting up a ringtone to be used as a ringtone for a corresponding subscriber included in the address book, and also in accordance with the actions of a user transmitting to the platform callback signals of a request for setting up a callback signal based on the result of setting up a call bell. The callback signal platform is configured to configure a callback signal of a user terminal in accordance with a received request. The call ringtone download server is configured to transmit information exchanged between the user terminal and the callback signaling platform. The call ringtone download server is configured to provide a call ringtone to a user terminal. A gateway may be provided between the user terminal and the call ringtone download server for exchanging information exchanged between the user terminal and the ringtone download server.

In the absence of a call ringtone download operation, a system for setting up a ringtone and ringback tone may include a user terminal, a gateway, a web server, and a ringback tones platform. The connections between them are illustrated in FIG. 14, where the user terminal is configured to configure the ringtone in accordance with the actions of the user, and also in accordance with the actions of the user, transmitting the callback signaling platform a request for setting up the ringback signal based on the result of setting the ringtone. The callback signal platform is configured to configure a callback signal of a user terminal in accordance with a received request. The gateway and the web server are configured to transmit information exchanged between the user terminal and the callback signaling platform.

When the user terminal sends the callback signaling platform a request to configure the callback signal based on the result of the call ringtone setup, the request can be transmitted to the callback signaling platform through the call ringtone download server. If there is a gateway in the system, the request can also be transmitted to the callback signaling platform through the gateway and the call ringtone download server. If there is a gateway and a web server in the system, the request can also be transmitted to the callback signaling platform through the gateway and the web server.

The callback signal platform is configured to return to the user terminal the result of setting the callback signal. The result of setting the callback signal can be transmitted to the user terminal via the call ringtone download server. If there is a gateway in the system, the result of setting the callback signal can also be transmitted to the user terminal via the call ringtone download server and the gateway. If there is a gateway and a web server in the system, the result of setting the callback signal can also be transmitted to the user terminal via the web server and the gateway.

On Fig presents a second conditional diagram illustrating the architecture of the system for setting up a call ringtone and a callback signal according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 17, the gateway of FIG. 14 may comprise a proxy gateway using Push (Push Proxy Gateway, PPG) technology and a WAP gateway. In this case, the call ringtone download server is configured to transmit call ringtone information to the PPG and transmit the ringtone to the WAP gateway in accordance with the request to download the ringtone from the WAP gateway. The PPG is configured to generate a push message in accordance with call ring information from the call ringtone download server and transmit a push message containing call ringtone download information to the user terminal. The user terminal establishes a connection with the WAP gateway after receiving a Push message from the PPG gateway, sends a request to download the call bell to the call ringtone download server through the WAP gateway, and downloads the call ring provided by the call ringtone download server through the WAP gateway.

In the case where the callback signaling platform returns the result of setting the callback signal to the user terminal via the call ringtone download server and PPG, the call ringtone download server is further configured to transmit the result of setting the callback signal to the PPG. The PPG is further configured to generate a Push message in accordance with the result of setting up a call back signal from a call ringtone download server and transmitting a Push message containing the result of setting a call back signal to a user terminal. In order to avoid confusion in the user terminal of the original Push message with the Push message containing the result of setting the callback signal, this Push message can be received through a separately configured port or through the source port, provided that this Push message contains information that can implement function of this push message.

The PPG must send a push message to the user terminal in accordance with the result of the callback signal setting provided by the call ringtone download server. However, if the message processing module in the user terminal is not turned on, the user terminal cannot receive the push message. In this regard, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the following solution is proposed. When the message processing module in the user terminal is turned on, a message is sent to the WAP gateway about the transition to online mode (online message); when the message processing module in the user terminal is turned off, a message is sent to the WAP gateway about the transition to offline mode (offline message). The message online or offline contains the identifier of the message processing module. As the identifier of the message processing module, the identifier of the user terminal may be used. Thus, the WAP gateway provides an online list of message processing modules of all user terminals, and such an online list contains identifiers of online message processing modules. When receiving an online message transmitted by the message processing module in the user terminal, the identifier of the message processing module of the user terminal is added to the online list. When receiving an offline message transmitted by the message processing module in the user terminal, the identifier of the message processing module of the user terminal is deleted from the online list. Before transmitting the result of setting the callback signal to the PPG, the call ring loading server contacts the WAP gateway regarding whether the message processing module of the corresponding user terminal is online. If confirmed, the call ringtone download server sends the result of setting the callback signal to the PPG. Otherwise, the result of setting the callback signal is buffered in the message queue by the call ringtone download server. If it is determined that the message processing module in the user terminal is online, the result of setting the callback signal is transmitted to the PPG. In order for the call ringtone download server to know that the message processing module of the corresponding user terminal has gone online, the following methods can be used: periodically contact the WAP gateway regarding the online list or send a request to the WAP gateway to send a message about transition of the message processing module of the corresponding user terminal to online mode.

To prevent situations when the message processing module is accidentally turned off without sending an offline message to the WAP gateway, due to the accidental disconnection of the user terminal, the validity period can be set in the WAP gateway. If the time spent by the message processing module in the user terminal on-line exceeds this limit of validity, the message processing module of this user terminal can be considered already switched to offline and the identifier of the message processing module of this user terminal is deleted from the online list. When the WAP gateway receives new messages online from the message processing module of this user terminal, the identifier of this message processing module is added to the online list.

On Fig presents a second diagram of the settings of the call ringer and callback signal according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 18, in this embodiment, the operation of setting up a call ringer and a ring back tone includes the following steps.

Step 901: The user terminal configures the call ring in accordance with the actions of the user. For example, a user terminal may configure a ringtone to be used as a ringtone for a specific subscriber listed in the address book.

Before performing step 901, the user terminal may download the corresponding call ringtone by interacting with the ringtone download server. If the corresponding call bell is already stored in the user terminal, the user terminal can immediately activate the call bell in accordance with the actions of the user.

Step 902: In accordance with the actions of the user, the user terminal transmits a request for setting a callback signal to the WAP gateway, requesting the setting of a callback signal by the callback platform in accordance with the result of setting up the call ringtone. The callback ringtone setup request contains at least the name of the call ringtone file configured by the user terminal.

Before sending a request to configure the callback signal to the WAP gateway, the user terminal may first prompt the user through the working user interface if the user wants to configure the callback signal. If confirmation is received from the user, execution proceeds to step 706; otherwise, execution ends immediately, that is, no operation is performed.

Steps 903-904: Upon receiving the request to configure the callback signal, the WAP gateway sends the request to configure the callback signal to the call ringtone download server. After receiving a request to configure a callback signal, the call ringtone download server sends a request to configure a callback signal to the callback signaling platform.

Step 905: Upon receiving the request to configure the callback signal, the callback signaling platform adjusts the callback signal of the user terminal in accordance with this request to configure the callback signal.

The callback signal platform extracts the name of the call ringtone file from the callback signal setup request, and then searches the callback signal database for a callback signal whose name matches the name of this call ringtone. The callback signaling platform brings the necessary information of this callback signal to the user terminal callback signal array. Then, the callback signal can be tuned using the methods described in the known solutions.

Alternatively, if, after retrieving the call ringtone name from the callback setup request, the callback platform determines that the necessary information for the callback signal, the name of which matches the name of the call ringtone, is not in the user terminal callback signal array, the platform callback signals performs a search for the call ringtone in the callback signal database, whose name matches the name of the given call ringtone. Then, the callback tone can be adjusted using the methods described in prior art.

Step 906. Upon completion of setting up the callback signal, the callback signaling platform transmits the result of setting up the callback signal to the call ringtone download server.

Step 907: After receiving the result of setting the callback signal, the call ringtone download server contacts the WAP regarding the presence of the identifier of the message processing module in the user terminal in the online list and determines whether the message processing module of the user terminal corresponding to the user information is online. If confirmed, execution proceeds to step 908; otherwise, call ringing information is buffered in the message queue. When it is determined that the message processing module in the user terminal is online, step 908 is performed. In order to find out that the message processing module in the user terminal has gone online, the call ringtone download server can use the following methods: periodically access the WAP gateway regarding an online list or sending a request to the WAP gateway to send a call message to the download server when the message processing module of the corresponding user terminal enters nlayn.

Step 908: The call ringtone download server transmits the result of setting the callback tone to the PPG.

Step 909: Having received the result of setting the callback signal, the PPG generates a Push message in accordance with the result of setting the callback signal, and then transmits the Push message containing the result of setting the callback signal to the user terminal.

Instead of the above steps 902-904, the following steps can also be used, in which the user terminal can also transmit the result of setting up the call bell via a short message. The following specific steps are used: the user terminal transmits the result of setting up the call ring to the Short Message Center, and the center of short messages transmits the result of the setting to the callback signal platform.

Instead of the above steps 902-904, the following steps can also be used, in which the user terminal can also transmit the result of setting up the call bell via the SIP message. Namely, the following specific steps are used: the user terminal transmits a SIP message to the callback signaling platform, and the SIP message contains the result of setting up the call bell.

On Fig presents a third diagram of the settings of the call ringer and callback signal according to one embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 19, in this embodiment of the invention, the operation of setting up a call ringer and a ring back tone includes the following steps.

Step A01: The user terminal sets up the call ring in accordance with the user's actions. For example, a user terminal may configure a ringtone to be used as a ringtone for a corresponding subscriber listed in the address book.

Before performing step A01, the user terminal can download the corresponding call call by interacting with the call ringtone download server. If the corresponding call bell is already stored in the user terminal, the user terminal can immediately activate the call bell in accordance with the actions of the user.

Step A02: In accordance with the user’s actions, the user terminal sends a callback signal setup request to the WAP gateway in order to request the callback signaling platform to configure the callback signaling in accordance with the result of setting up the call ringtone.

Before sending a request to configure a callback signal to a WAP gateway, a user terminal may first prompt the user through a working user interface whether the user wants to configure a callback signal. If confirmation is received from the user, execution proceeds to step 706; otherwise, execution ends immediately, that is, no operation is performed.

Step A03 - Step A04: Upon receiving the request to configure the callback signal, the WAP gateway sends the request to configure the callback signal to the web server. Upon receiving the request to configure the callback signal, the web server sends the request to configure the callback signal to the callback signaling platform.

Step A05: Upon receiving a request for setting up a callback signal, the callback signaling platform adjusts the callback signal in the user terminal in accordance with such a request for setting up a callback signal.

Step A06: Upon completion of the setup of the callback signal, the callback platform transmits the result of the setup of the callback signal to the call ringtone download server.

Step A07: After receiving the result of setting the callback signal, the call ringtone download server contacts the WAP regarding the availability of the identifier of the message processing module in the user terminal in the online list and determines whether the message processing module in the user terminal corresponding to the user information is online . If confirmed, execution proceeds to step A08; otherwise, call ringing information is buffered in the message queue. When it is determined that the message processing module in the user terminal is online, execution proceeds to step A08. To find out that the message processing module of the corresponding user terminal has gone online, the call ringtone download server can use the following methods: periodically contact the WAP gateway regarding the online list or send a request to the WAP gateway to send a message to the call ringtone download server when the processing module messages of the corresponding user terminal goes online.

Step A08: The call ringtone download server transmits the result of setting the callback tone to the PPG.

Step A09: Having received the result of setting the callback signal, PPG generates a Push message in accordance with the result of setting the callback signal, and then transmits the Push message containing the result of setting the callback signal to the user terminal.
