When the above-mentioned message information is received, the control unit 3 sends a signal to the driver 12 and sends a signal to the speaker 13.
A notification sound is generated to notify the reception. The DTMF signal generator 14 is a circuit for generating a tone signal of a push phone, and sends to the speaker 13 a tone signal of the push phone corresponding to the telephone number data of the TelNo. Memory 4 and the fixed phrase code of the fixed phrase memory 10. Then, the sound of the touch phone is generated from the speaker 13.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the contents of the TelNo. Memory 4 described above. The TelNo. Memory 4 comprises row memories M0, M1, M2,... As shown in FIG. 3, and each row memory stores telephone data. The row memory includes a name data storage area K1 for storing name data, a telephone number data storage area K2 for storing telephone number data, and an identification code data storage area K3 for storing identification code data. For example, if the telephone data is the row memory M0 in FIG. 3, the name data "Kato" is stored in the name data storage area K1 and the telephone number "03-123-4567" is stored in the telephone number data storage area K2. The identification code data of "0" is stored in the identification code data storage area K3, indicating that the telephone number of Mr. Kato at 03-123-4567 is not the telephone number of the paging receiver.

The operation of the phone dialer device of the paging receiver of the embodiment configured as described above will be described below with reference to the transmission processing flowchart of FIG. Now, it is assumed that a plurality of telephone data are stored in the paging receiver of this embodiment. It is also assumed that the identification data of the telephone data is registered by the operator at the time of inputting the telephone data. First, a normal / Tel switch S
When W1 is operated and Tel mode is selected, Tel
Since one set of telephone data from the plurality of telephone data stored in the No. memory 4 is displayed on the display unit 5, in the TelNo. Selection processing of step S1, the up switch SW3 or the down switch SW4 is operated. The telephone data to be called is selected and displayed on the display unit 5.

In the next step S2, the telephone number of the called party to be called is a paging receiver with a message receiving function,
For example, in the process of determining whether the telephone number is a paging receiver with a display function, when the identification code of the telephone data displayed on the display unit 5 indicates that the identification code is “0”, the displayed telephone number is the same as that of the paging receiver. If it is not a telephone number, NO is selected. If the identification code is "1", YES is selected because it is a telephone number of the paging receiver. If YES is selected here, the process proceeds to step S3, where the transmission prohibition flag F1 of the control unit 3 is first set, and at the same time, the message mark 52 of the display unit 5 blinks. The blinking of the message mark 52 prompts the operator of the paging receiver of this embodiment to set the message information. Next, in step S4, the operator sets the Mes switch SW to set the message information.
Operate 2.

In this set, the operator prepares, for example, to input a message sentence from a touch-tone phone or memos on a sheet or the like, or a data input switch if message information is set in the apparatus of this embodiment. A code corresponding to a desired fixed phrase is input using the keys of the group 2. Here, when a numeric key is operated to input a fixed phrase code to the paging receiver of this embodiment, the message flag F2 of the control unit 3 is set, and message information is set in the paging receiver of this embodiment. Is stored. The control unit 3 stores the fixed phrase code data in a fixed phrase code register (not shown),
The fixed phrase data corresponding to the fixed phrase code is read from the fixed phrase memory 10, and the character data corresponding to the data is read from the CG 11 and output to the display unit 5.

The display unit 5 displays a fixed phrase by character data corresponding to the fixed phrase data. In this way, after the message data is input from the touch phone or after inputting the fixed phrase code of the message information to the paging receiver, the # key for instructing the completion of the message data setting of the data input switch group 2 is operated, and the # key data is changed. When output to the control unit 3, the control unit 3 determines that the message data has been set, resets the transmission prohibition flag F1, and sets the paging receiver of this embodiment to be transmittable. Next, a process of determining whether or not the transmission SW is on in step S5 is executed.

When the message data is input by operating the key of the touch phone, it is not necessary to set the message information in the paging receiver of the present embodiment. In such a case, the Mes switch SW2 is set in step S4. After the operation, operate the # key of the paging receiver. As a result, when the identification code is "1", the transmission prohibition flag F1 is reset even if no message information is set in the paging receiver, so that the tone of the touch-tone corresponding to the telephone number can be generated. it can.

Next, at step S5, the transmission switch S
If W5 is pressed, the result is YES, so the next step S6
Then, in step S6, it is determined whether the transmission prohibition flag F1 is set. Here, step S
No at 4 since the transmission prohibition flag F1 has been reset
Then, the DTMF signal conversion processing in the next step S7 is executed. In this DTMF signal conversion processing, the telephone number data of the receiver to be called is output to the speaker 13 by the DTMF signal generator 14 as a tone signal of a push phone, and the tone of the push phone corresponding to this phone number is reported from the speaker 13. You. Subsequently, a process of determining whether the message flag F2 is set in step S8 is performed. Here, if the fixed phrase code of the message information is input, the message flag F2 is determined in step S4.
Is set, so that the result is YES, and the process proceeds to step S9. In step S9, the fixed phrase code of the message information and the fixed phrase corresponding to the code are displayed on the display unit 5. Therefore, in the next step S10, if the transmission switch SW5 is pressed again and the result is YES, the DTMF in step S11 is reached.
Through the signal conversion processing, the sound of the push phone corresponding to the fixed phrase code of the message information displayed on the display unit 5 is output from the speaker 13.

On the other hand, if the identification code is "0" in the discrimination processing in step S2, the telephone number of the receiver to be called is not the telephone number of the paging receiver, so the process proceeds to step S5. In step S5, the transmission switch SW5 is pressed, and in step S6, a process of determining whether the transmission inhibition flag F1 is set is performed. Here, since the identification code is "0" and the transmission prohibition flag F1 in step S3 has not been set, the determination is NO, and the process proceeds to step S7, where the sound of the touch-tone corresponding to the telephone number is generated.

Next, the message flag F2 in step S8
In the determination process of No., since the fixed phrase code of the message information has not been input and the message flag F2 has not been set, the determination is NO, and the process ends.

For example, if the transmission switch SW5 of step S5 is operated without operating the # key in the message input process of step S4, the transmission inhibition flag F
Since 1 has not been reset, the determination in step S6 becomes YES, and the process returns to the message input process in step S4.

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, the identification number of the telephone data identifies whether the telephone number of the receiver to be called is the telephone number of a paging receiver capable of receiving message information or not. When the identification code of the telephone data is "1" indicating the telephone number of the paging receiver, the message mark is blinked to notify that the telephone number of the receiver to be called is the telephone number of the paging receiver. In addition, the transmission inhibition flag can be used to prevent the push-tone from sounding even if the transmission switch is operated before the message data is set.

In this embodiment, when the telephone data is the telephone data of the paging receiver, the notification is made by blinking the message mark, but the identification code may be blinking. It is also effective that the notifying means is a sounding means from a speaker or a light emitting means such as an LED.
