ABSTRACT:
A method and device for providing a mixed audible signal which includes a ringing tone and the identity of a calling party upon receiving the incoming call of the calling party. The incoming call can be a voice call, a call to convey an MMS message, or a call to convey an SMS message. A TTS synthesizer is used to generate sounds representative of the text identifying the caller if the identity can be found in a caller ID database. A MIDI protocol is used to generate a ringing tone of one or more musical note sequences. A combining module is used to integrate the TTS message and the MIDI tone into the mixed audible signal. Whether only the ringing tone or the mixed audible signal is played is selectable based on a use profile of the device.
