Abstract

A method for mixing effect sounds with a music data and storing/replaying the mixed music data using an auxiliary input device equipped at the mobile telephone is provided. The method includes extracting a direction and a displacement range of the auxiliary input device from an input signal, if the signal is input through the auxiliary input device while music data is replayed, applying effects corresponding to the extracted direction and input range to the music data, storing the music data with the applied effects in a temporary memory, and storing the music data with the applied effects as merged music data in a memory according to a user'"'"'s commmand.

Claims

1. A method for processing music data in a mobile telephone, the method comprising:

extracting a direction and a displacement range of an auxiliary input device from an input signal, if the signal is input through the auxiliary input device while music data is replayed;

applying effects corresponding to the extracted direction and displacement range to the music data;

storing the music data comprising the applied effects in a first memory; and

selectively storing the music data comprising the applied effects as merged music data in a second memory.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the applying of the effects comprises rewinding the music data if the direction comprises a counter clockwise direction.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the applying of the effects comprises fast forwarding the music data if the direction comprises a clockwise direction.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the applying of the effects comprises adjusting winding speed according to the displacement range.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the music data comprising the applied effects and the merged music data are stored in different memory regions.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the auxiliary input device comprises a jog disk.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the first memory comprises temporary memory.

7. A method for processing music data in a mobile telephone, the method comprising:

extracting a direction and a displacement range of an auxiliary input device from an input signal, if the signal is input through the auxiliary input device while music data is replayed;

playing the music data with a sound effect corresponding to the direction and the displacement;

storing the music data comprising the sound effect in a first memory; and

storing the music data comprising the sound effect as merged music data in a second memory.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the sound effect corresponding to the direction and the displacement range is configured according to manipulation of the auxiliary input device.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the auxiliary input device comprises a jog disk.

11. The method of claim 7, wherein the first memory comprises temporary memory.

12. A mobile telephone comprising:

an auxiliary input device for generating a movement signal to indicate the movement of a reference point;

a controller for extracting direction and displacement information of the auxiliary input device based on the movement signal; and

a memory;

wherein a direction and a displacement range of the auxiliary input device is extracted from an input signal, if the signal is input through the auxiliary input device while music data is replayed;

effects corresponding to the extracted direction and displacement range are applied to the music data;

the music data comprising the applied effects is stored in a first memory; and

the music data comprising the applied effects is selectively stored as merged music data in a second memory

13. The mobile telephone of claim 12, wherein the auxiliary input device comprises a movement signal generator for generating the movement signal.

14. The mobile telephone of claim 13, wherein the movement signal generator outputs a signal of the reference point of the auxiliary input device to the controller.
