  • the proposed system allows a mobile user to automatically set his/her latest status update or social network message or personal choice message as the user's caller tune for his/her callers.
  • One or more of Web, WAP, USSD, IVR, and SMS can be used by a user to set his/her status message, which then automatically becomes the respective mobile phone's caller tune.

Abstract

La présente invention porte sur un système et un procédé pour modifier une sonnerie d'appelant d'un téléphone mobile d'un utilisateur sur la base de messages d'état personnalisés de l'utilisateur. Les messages d'état peuvent soit être réglés au niveau d'un ou plusieurs sites web de réseautage social tels de Linkedln, Facebook, SoundCloud, Myspace et Twitter, soit être réglés sur d'autres supports de communication web tels que des clavardages, des groupes et des blogues. Des messages d'état peuvent également être directement écrits par un utilisateur dans une application de dispositif mobile sans aucune interface web. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le système proposé permet à un utilisateur mobile de régler automatiquement son message de mise à jour d'état ou de réseau social le plus récent ou un message à son choix personnel à titre de sonnerie d'appelant de l'utilisateur destinée à ses appelants. Une ou plusieurs fonctions parmi web, WAP, USSD, IVR et SMS peuvent être utilisées par un utilisateur pour régler son message d'état, qui devient ensuite automatiquement la sonnerie d'appelant du téléphone mobile respectif. La sonnerie d'appelant serait également appelée dans ce qui suit, d'une manière interchangeable, tonalité de retour d'appel d'appelant (CRBT).
