Method and a telecommunication apparatus for creating an alerting signal

摘要

Apparatus and methods are presented to allow the creation of a personalized audio signal for a communication device. An option to record audio input and create a call signal audio file is selected via an input mechanism (203). Audio input is recorded when a record button (204) is pressed and the recording is terminated when the record button (204) is pressed a second time. Processing circuitry (220) optionally applies audio compression, filtering and encoding algorithms to said audio input and creates a call signal audio file. The call signal audio file is then stored in the memory circuitry designated for call signal audio files (210). Additional audio output circuitry (207) plays the call signal audio file when an incoming call is detected by the transceiver (201). <IMAGE>
