Background of the Invention
Field of the Invention
The present invention describes about the system and method of giving hello tunes option for Internet messenger like Gtalk, Yahoo Messenger, Skype, Live Messenger etc. This invention explains about the method and system of how'senders and receivers can set the hello tune/caller tune for their messenger at the time of making call.
Description of the Related Art
The present phone system provides the hello tunes/caller tunes options. Many of the mobile service providers in all countries provide this hello tunes/caller tunes features for their customers. But there is no service like this for messenger chatting. At the time of making call in messengers, the receiver and the call maker can hear the normal beep sound only. There is no possibiiity of setting some other songs and sounds also for that beep sound.
At the time of making call in the messenger, some amount of power will be spent for normal ringing voltage. The present systems have limitation and it does not allow cutting the receivers ringing tone, which is the beep. While using low charge Notebooks / PDA / Mobile for chatting, this ring tone consumes some amount of power. But the service providers/mobile phones are not giving any options for call sender to cut the hello tunes to save the power.
The Patent entitled 'Method and apparatus for Ring back tone personalization' [US 0286401AI, 2007] explained the concept of ring back tone personalized by the calling party instead of called party. But in this Patent, the proposed method and apparatus does not have the feature to suppress the caller tune by a calling party. And this patent is not mentioning the way to achieve the above ring back tone setting for Messengers. This method is checking for the caller tune in sender side only, if the calling party does not have any subscribed tone, this method simply return the normal ring tone only.

Summary of the Invention
This Patent describes about the method of giving options and features to the call senders and call receivers regarding hello tunes/caller tunes or ring tunes in Internet Messengers like Gtalk, Yahoo Messenger, Live Messenger etc., Whenever the person wants to make a call to another person in Internet Messengers, he/she cannot have any option to set hello tune/caller tune. The location server has this hello tune as per the Internet usemame of the Messenger or device address of the Internet. This new inventing method describes the embodiment for the same and to suppress receiver side hello tune/caller tune while at the time of making call for saving power and noise.
This system and method of giving hello tunes option for Internet messenger like Gtalk, Yahoo Messenger, Skype, Live Messenger etc., with the call suppress option for call sender to avoid call receivers caller tune. In this invention allows the user can set the tune as his/her dialing tone. As per this invention, whenever the sender makes call, the intermediate proxy search his own tune in the location server as per the device address, before contacting receiver. If the sender doesn't have any hello tune/caller tune, the local server automatically sends the receiver hello tune/caller tune instead of ringing signal. The user can request the service provider before to set the hello time/caller tune while his/her dialing or receiving call. The service provider can makes changes in the location server and add his/her device address in the caller tune list.
For tune suppressing, this method of invention describes two ways. One-way is giving caller tune suppression option in the dialing side. The other one is giving the call suppression option through the server. At the time of making call, if the user wants to suppress the ringing tone, the option is there in the server. But the user need to request for it to the messenger provider. If the sender does not activate any hello tunes means, the server searches for the tunes of receiver and send that tune to the sender instead of default ringing tone. This invention gives the first preference to the sender tune activation only. But using the location server setup changes, we can set the high preference to the receiver side hello tunes as per the customer request.

Detailed Description of the Invention with Reference to Accompanying Drawings
The Figure-1 explains the complete illustrated view of the invention method with the connection of Messenger Sender 101 and Messenger Receiver 102 to the Location Server 104 through Intermediate proxy 103.
The Figure-2 explains the complete flow of this invention. It is a diagram describes about the operation and functions of proxy 203 and location server 204 while sender 201 making call to the receiver 202.
Whenever the sender 101 makes the call to another receiver 104, the call passes through the intermediate server 103. After the signal reached from sender to proxy, the proxy gels connected with the location server 104 to search the hello tune/caller tune or ring tone suppress enabled. If the suppress signal enabled, it means the proxy will not activate any ringing tune/caller tune. If is not activated, the server automatically sends the hello tunes or ringing beep sound to the sender 101 through proxy.

The Figure-2-Flow diagram explains the operation of the inventing system like how this messenger ringing/hello tune suppression takes place using server and users system. After sender dials the number the initiative signal reaches the receiver through the proxy. If the proxy does not locate the receiver immediately, the 'trying' signal 205 has reached the sender. When the signal get reaches receiver, it sends the ringing signal. If the receiver located successfully, then the proxy checks 206 the location server for hello tunes/caller tunes or suppress signal enables. If the user already enables any hello tunes/caller tunes using their Messenger providers, instead of ringing signal this tune 207 will be enabled and send to the sender.
If the sender does not activate any hello tunes means, the server searches for the tunes of receiver and send that tune to the sender instead of ringing tone. After the ringing signal reaches the sender, the user can have an option to suppress 208 the ringing tone/hello tune in his/her Messenger GUI. When the user picks the call, the 'OK' signal 209 has sent from the receiver to the sender. Then acknowledgement signal 210 reaches receiver from the sender. Using RTP 211 the voice gets transfer in full duplex mode.
The Figure- 3 Explains the complete start to end process of hello tune activation by sender/receiver and Suppress. Initially the server checks after dial 301, whether the caller tune suppress enable or not 302. If it is enabled, it is simply returned to the dialer without sending any caller tune or ringing tone 303. If it is not enabled, the server checks the Sender's caller tune 304. If the sender have caller tune, it originate the profile 305 in the server, check preference 306 and play the tone 307. If the server could originate sender's caller tune profile, it is returned to check the next. If the sender does not have any caller tune, it checks whether the receiver has tone or not 308. If the receiver has caller tune, the server checks the preference 309 and play the tone 310. Otherwise it plays the standard ringing tone 311.
This invention gives the first preference to the sender tune activation. But using the location server setup changes, we can set the high preference to the receiver side hello tunes as per the customer request.
