203 results about "Ring pattern" patented technology

A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for allowing network operators to download ringing tone pattern(s) associated with one or more musical scores to mobile stations (MSs) according to the music selection of mobile subscribers associated with the MSs. Once executed, the ringing tone pattern provides a musical ringing tone on the MS, instead of the normal ringing tone. In addition, ringing tone patterns can be used to enhance the "distinctive ringing" function within the MS. Thus, instead of using distinctive ringing patterns to represent different called party numbers, different music can be used.
