  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a wireless communication apparatus having a pager function according to an embodiment of the present invention, for example, a pager with display. In FIG. 1, a wireless communication device having a pager function includes an antenna unit 1, a wireless unit 2, a waveform shaping unit 3, a decoder unit 4, a control unit 5, a notification control circuit 6, an EEPROM unit 7, The memory unit 8, the display control circuit 9, the display unit 10, the operation unit 11, the motor unit 12, the LED unit 13, and the sounding unit 14 are configured.

  Next, the general operation of a wireless communication apparatus having a pager function will be described. A high frequency signal received through the antenna unit 1 and the wireless unit 2 is demodulated into a digital signal by the waveform shaping unit 3 and input to the decoder unit 4. Is done. The decoder unit 4 decodes the digital signal, and the control unit 5 operates the notification control circuit 6 and matches the sounding unit 14 or the motor unit 12 when they match the selected selective call address written in the EEPROM unit 7. At the same time, the LED unit 13 is driven to notify the reception of the self address.

  When the message signal is added following the self address, the decoder unit 4 decodes the message signal and stores it in the memory unit 8 together with the arrival time by the control unit 5. At this time, the control unit 5 determines whether the sender identification code and the continuous message code exist in the message, and if so, stores the sender identification code and the continuous message code in the memory unit 8 together with the message. . The control unit 5 reads the message data stored in the memory unit 8 and displays the message on the display unit 10 by the display control unit 9 by a user operation performed via a function button in the operation unit 11 such as a jog dial.

  The stored message can be read again from the memory unit 8 by pressing a function button in the operation unit 11.

  Next, a message deleting method according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5 and Table 1. FIG.

  FIG. 2 illustrates an example of a message erasing method according to the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, a menu is displayed on the display unit (for example, a display unit including an LCD) 10. The user operates a function button in the operation unit 11 such as a jog dial to select a function and confirm the content of processing. Next, the user operates a function button in the operation unit 11, for example, a jog dial to select and confirm the top of the erase range. Next, the user operates a function button in the operation unit 11, for example, a jog dial, searches for the erase range last, scrolls, and selects and confirms the erase range last. Here, if necessary, the user can also confirm the erase range by scrolling by operating a function button in the operation unit 11, such as a jog dial. After the user confirms, if the user presses the function button in the operation unit 11 and selects erasure, the erasure is executed from the top of the erasure range to the last range of the erasure range.

  Table 1 shows an example in which information messages received in time series are stored in a memory, and whether they have been read or not read are distinguished in a read state and displayed.

  In Table 1, the first message erasing method of the present invention will be explained. For example, when it is desired to delete messages before January 20, including unread messages, message number 120 (the top of the erasure range). When a message is selected and deleted, messages numbered 1 to 120 can be deleted at once. The conventional method has only a method of erasing all messages except for unread messages at a time, and therefore has no method of erasing a specific portion. Also, unread messages cannot be erased at once.

  In Table 1, the second message erasing method of the present invention will be described. For example, when it is desired to delete a message on January 20 including an unread message, message numbers 61 (last in the erasure range) and 120 When the message of the number (top of the deletion range) is selected and deleted, the messages of message numbers 61 to 120 can be deleted at once. The conventional method has only a method of erasing all messages except for unread messages at a time, and therefore has no method of erasing a specific portion. Also, unread messages cannot be erased at once.

  In Table 1, the third message erasing method of the present invention will be described. For example, when it is desired to erase messages before January 20 except for unread messages, message number 120 (the top of the erasure range) When a message is selected and erased, messages of message numbers 1 to 120 excluding unread messages of message numbers 60 and 61 can be erased at once. In the conventional method, unread messages cannot be erased collectively.

  In Table 1, the fourth message erasing method of the present invention will be described. For example, when it is desired to delete the message of January 20 except for the unread message, message numbers 61 (last in the erasure range) and 120 When message No. (the top of the deletion range) is selected and deleted, messages numbered 61 to 120, excluding unread messages with message number 61, can be deleted at once. In the conventional method, unread messages cannot be erased collectively.

  Next, a fifth message erasing method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3. In FIG. 3, a menu is displayed on the display unit (for example, a display unit including an LCD) 10. The user operates a function button in the operation unit 11 such as a jog dial to select a function and confirm the content of processing. Next, the user operates a function button in the operation unit 11, for example, a jog dial to select and confirm a deletion message. Furthermore, if there is an erase message, the user operates a function button in the operation unit 11, for example, a jog dial, searches for the erase message, scrolls, selects the erase message, and confirms. Here, if necessary, the user can check a message to be deleted by scrolling by operating a function button in the operation unit 11, for example, a jog dial. After the user confirms, if the user presses the function button in the operation unit 11 and selects deletion, the messages designated by the user can be deleted together.

  Next, a sixth message erasing method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4.
