TECHNICAL FIELD [0001]The present invention relates to a method and a device for generating a commercial information ringback tone such as advertisements, music or news during a communication wait, and more particularly to a method and a device for generating voice/text/image commercial information ringback tone during the communication is on wait in which when a telephone caller calls upon a telephone receiver or upon any type of automatic response application systems (ARS, VMS, VISS, PPS) by using ordinary telephones, mobile telephones (CDMA, PCS, TDMA, GSM, AMPS, IMT-2000), video telephones, satellite telephones or internet telephones, the caller can hear and see by providing into the caller's telephone various commercial information such as advertisements, music or news in forms of voice, text or image instead of the waiting signal sound through the telephone. BACKGROUND ART [0002]In general, when a telephone caller by using ordinary telephones or mobile telephones calls a particular company or a subscriber service center by phone, he or she can hear the commercial advertisements. These advertisements have been very effective since they naturally flow out during the communication wait. In a conventional art, during the communication is on wait, messages such as "hold on for a while`, and "other communication is still going on" are repetitively generated to the caller's phone. Recently, a particular service system for some mobile telephones provides voice type advertisements to the caller's phone.

So, there is a problem that can be happened time consuming and inconvenient aspects. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [0006]The object of the present invention is to overcome the above described problem and is to provide a method for generating a voice/text/image commercial information ringback tone through which the telephone originator can hear and see advertisements, music and news in the form of voice, text or image with the background music, and through which the communication company can have the benefit made by providing the commercial information and the advertisement company can maximize the advertisement productivity. [0007]Another object of the invention is to provide an information generating device during the communication wait to achieve the above described method. [0008]To achieve the first object, there is provided a method for generating a voice/text/image commercial information ringback tone through a communication system including a call process function carrying out a transfer of a commercial information to an originating telephone instead of a ringback tone or a guide message during a communication wait till a receiving side is received after the calling from the originating telephone of a subscriber to a receiving side (a receiving telephone of a subscriber or a receiving communication system)is completed, the method comprising the steps of: checking a telephone call (S1), connecting with an information generating device (hereinafter, a commercial information ringback tone generating system/device) at an originating or a receiving communication system when the call is detected (S2), beginning to transmit a commercial information to an originating telephone from the commercial information ringback tone generating system in at least one form of a voice, a text, and/or an image, during a communication wait (S3), requesting a connection to a receiving telephone from the commercial information ringback tone generating system when a first predetermined time (A-timeout) lapses (S4),and continuously transmitting the commercial information to the originating telephone (S5); checking whether the receiving telephone accepts the connection request (S6), checking whether a second predetermined time (B-timeout) lapses since the commercial information ringback tone is provided if the connection request is not accepted (S11), checking whether a telephone connection fails if within the second predetermined time (B-timeout) (S14) and continuously providing the commercial information ringback tone to the originating telephone if the telephone connection does not fail (S5); stopping the providing of the commercial information ringback tone if the telephone connection is made in the step S6 (S7), connecting a communication line between the originating telephone and the receiving telephone (S8), checking whether the communication is finished (S9), and disconnecting the communication line if the communication finishes (S10); stopping the sending of the commercial information ringback tone if the second predetermined time (B-timeout) lapses since the connection request in the step S11 (S12), and connecting a relay line between an originating switch and a receiving switch (S13); and stopping the sending of the commercial information ringback tone if the connection request fails (S15), releasing the relay line between the originating switch and the receiving switch (S16), checking whether a next connection request is (S17), and beginning to transmit the commercial information to the originating telephone from the commercial information ringback tone generating system (S3). [0009]The method further includes the steps of requesting the connection to the receiving telephone after the first predetermined time (A-timeout) lapses in the step S4, stopping the sending of the commercial information ringback tone and beginning to transmit an original ringback tone or the guide message to the originating telephone when a ringback tone hearing mode is set (S18), checking whether the receiving telephone accepts the request (S19), stopping the providing of the ringback tone of the guide message if the request is accepted (S20), connecting the communication line between the originating telephone and the receiving telephone (S21), checking whether the communication is finished (S22), and disconnecting the communication line between the originating telephone and the receiving telephone (S23). [0010]To achieve the second object of the invention, there is provided an information generating device having a communication system including an originating telephone, a receiving telephone including an ordinary telephone, a mobile phone (CDMA, PCS, TDMA, GSM, AMPS, IMT-2000 type etc), a video phone, a satellite phone, an internet phone etc a subscriber communication line and a relay communication line which are positioned in a switch system, the device comprising: a commercial information server for providing commercial information including advertisement, music, composite information (news, weather, sports, stock information, humor, entertainment etc), subscriber information (bio-rhythm, fortune, position, entertainer information, stock, fee information etc); a voice/text/image commercial information ringback tone generating device for providing a commercial information ringback tone in forms of a voice, a text, or an image from the commercial information server to the originating telephone which is on communication wait through the subscriber communication line, the voice/text/image commercial information Ringback tone generating device being provided in the switch system; a voice/text/image commercial information ringback tone generating system for providing a commercial information ringback tone in forms of a voice, a text, or an image from the server to the originating telephone which is on wait through the relay communication line and the subscriber communication line, the voice/text/image/commercial information ringback tone generating system being provided outside of the switch system; and a subscriber's private information server for providing a subscriber's private information individually in terms of regions, gender, ages and time bands, the commercial information ringback tone is provided depending on the subscriber's private information.
