Abstract

In a method for setting up theme pictures and bells of a mobile telecommunication terminal, contents data stored in a storage unit of the mobile telecommunication terminal are retrieved based on a user's setting of a theme picture and a bell. A selection window is provided to the user to select the retrieved contents data. It is to determine whether the contents data selected in the selection window are VOD contents. If the contents data are the VOD contents data, at least one among video and audio data including the VOD contents data is decoded. A setup window is provided to determine whether the theme pictures include the decoded audio data. A speaker of the mobile telecommunication terminal is controlled on or off based on a user's setting of the setup window when the theme pictures are set up.
