Abstract

Disclosed is a method for storing and transmitting a voice mail using SVMS (Simple Voice Mail/Message Service) in a mobile telecommunication terminal. The method comprises compressing a voice message inputted by a user or a received voice mail into a voice data-and storing the compressed voice message or mail; if an SVMS function is selected, reading from a memory a selected voice data, segmenting the read voice data into segmented voice data of a predetermined size, and transmitting the segmented voice data to another mobile communication terminal using the SVMS; reassembling segmented voice files received from a transmitting mobile communication terminal, and storing the reassembled voice file in the memory; and upon receiving a voice mail playback request from the user, reading a selected voice data from the memory, decompressing the read voice data into voice signals, and outputting the voice signals to an output device of the mobile communication terminals.

Claims (9)

1. A method for communicating a voice mail using a SVMS (Simple Voice Mail/Message Service) in a mobile telecommunication terminal, the method comprising the steps of:

creating a voice file having a specific extension and compressing a voice message input by a user and a received voice mail into the voice file having the specific extension in a format compatible with different terminals and storing the compressed voice file, respectively;

if an SVMS function is selected, reading from a memory of said mobile telecommunication terminal a selected voice file, segmenting the selected voice file into segmented voice data of a predetermined size not exceeding a transmission capacity restricted in an SMS (Short Message Service) or an e-mail, and transmitting the segmented voice data to another mobile communication terminal using the SVMS;

reassembling the segmented voice data received at said another mobile communication terminal into a new voice file having a specific extension, and storing the new voice file in a memory of said another mobile communication terminal; and

upon receiving a reproduce request for one of a voice message and a voice mail from the user, reading a selected voice file from the memory of said another mobile communication terminal, decompressing the read voice file into voice data, and outputting voice signals corresponding to the voice data to an output device of the mobile communication terminal.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the voice data has a specific format compatible with a PC (Personal Computer).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the voice signal outputting step comprises the steps of:

storing the decompressed voice data in a buffer; and

decoding the decompressed voice data into the voice signals.
