METHODO TO DISCRIMINATE THE SENDER BY A SHORT MESSAGE USE OF THE MOBILE STATION OF RECEIVE BELL}

The present invention relates to a method for acoustically identifying a sender when a text message is received. In particular, the present invention relates to a predetermined caller phone number and a text message received from the caller phone number in a menu related to a text message of a mobile communication terminal. The present invention relates to a method of designating and assigning a predetermined ringtone to identify a sender through a reception tone of a text message, which can identify the sender only by the reception tone of the text message.

With the recent rapid development of information and communication technology and the desire of people who want to communicate freely anytime and anywhere, mobile phone users have increased geometrically. As mobile phones become a necessity for modern people, their use is not only for sending and receiving phone calls, but also for texting, Internet, e-commerce and, more recently, transportation card functions.
