Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a portable information transmitting device, and particularly to a portable information transmitting device such as a pager (so-called pager) that receives transmitted information.

(Prior Art) Conventional pagers have been used only to obtain detailed information by calling a predetermined caller after receiving a call service such as an alarm for a funeral. However, in recent years, devices have appeared that are equipped with a display section such as a small LCD and display ratty messages such as simple letters and numbers such as telephone numbers in addition to alarms.

However, since pagers are generally carried in clothing pockets or waist belts, their primary purpose is to make them compact and lightweight.For this reason, as mentioned above, the area that should be allocated to a CD is very small, at most 7 pieces of paper. However, it has been difficult to achieve both miniaturization of the entire device and increase in display capacity.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned defects, and an object of the present invention is to provide a portable information transmission device that can increase display capacity as needed without impairing portability. purpose.

(Summary of the Invention) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, it is equipped with a portable information receiver that receives and stores transmitted information, and an information display that is provided separately from the information receiver and has display means that displays the information stored in the information receiver. Configure.

(Embodiments of the Invention) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a portable information transmitting device according to the present invention, in which a pager is used as an information receiver that receives transmitted information and generates an alarm, and also stores received demodulated signals. and a display panel body 2 as an information display body provided separately from the pager seal and displaying the stored information.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the pager 1 includes a receiving radio frequency circuit (RF) 3, a demodulating circuit 4, a decoder 5, a control circuit 6 connected to the demodulating circuit 4 and the decoder 5, and a memory connected to an 11m circuit 6. 7 and a notification circuit 8 such as an alarm that indicates that the pager has been called.

The reception high frequency circuit 3 and the demodulation circuit 4 receive and extract radio signals, the memory 7 stores the demodulated transmission information, and the control circuit 6 activates the notification circuit 8 when receiving information and stores one in the memory 7. Controls processing such as storing that information.

Further, a plurality of plugs 9 connected to the memory via the control circuit 6 are provided on the side surface 1a of the pager.

The display panel body 2 is a relatively large LCD with one display stage.
A plug seat +1 is provided on the side surface 2a thereof, which can be fitted with the plug 9 and connected to the drive circuit of the CD10.

With this configuration, when information is transmitted from a transmitting base station (not shown) to the pager (2), the information received and extracted by the receiving high frequency circuit 3 and demodulating circuit 4 is stored in the memory 7, and an alarm 8 is activated to alert the user. The pager carried by the user notifies the user that the pager has been called. The person carrying the pager 1 engages the plug 9 of the pager 1 with the plug socket 1 of the display panel body 2, which is being carried in a bag or the like, for example.
The transmission information stored in the memory 7 can be displayed on the large LCD l0 by performing the necessary operations, and the display space for characters, numbers, etc. can be greatly increased.

As described above, according to this embodiment, if the user connects the pager 1 to the display panel body 2 after the alarm is activated, the user can display more characters, numbers, etc. than with the conventional LCD provided in the pager body. can be displayed, allowing you to know more detailed information.

That is, the above-mentioned receiving body provided in one aspect of the present invention is the conventional L
The storage capacity of the memory of a pager such as a pager with a display device such as a CD is increased to match the capacity of the corresponding display panel body, and a plug for signal output and a display panel body for storing the memory contents are added. It may be considered that the display body is equipped with an interface circuit and its control means necessary for outputting the signal to the receiver, and the internal configuration of the display body may be such that it can directly display the signal content output from the receiver body.

Furthermore, if the 1n display panel body 2 is equipped with a memory having a considerable capacity and the information in the pager is displayed after being transferred to the memory, the number of plug bottles to be provided can be reduced. You can get away with less.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and for example, the combination of the pager 1 and the display panel body 2 may be
Alternatively, the same effect can be obtained by wireless coupling of radio waves, high frequency signals such as magnetic fields, ultrasonic waves, etc.

Furthermore, a display section such as a small LCD may be added to the pager l as in the conventional case. In this case, it is necessary to identify whether the received information is sufficient on the display attached to the pager itself or whether it requires the separate display panel mentioned above, and to indicate this on the pager itself. It is possible to output the output to a display device, or to make the alarm sound different.If this function is added, there is no need to carry out a separate display panel each time a call is received (1. Smooth information transmission is possible. It becomes possible.

Furthermore, in addition to using a dedicated display panel as described above, relatively large LCD display devices such as other commonly used word processors and portable calculators may be used. This may also be hT ability. However, in this case, the force t! between the plug attached to the pager and the external plug of F2 other device. However, except for special cases, the RS 232C standard is generally used.
All you need to do is prepare mutual conversion connectors.

Alternatively, if the ultra-small plug structure is standardized and added to the pager and other display panels, versatility can be further increased.

In this case, security can be improved by displaying transmitted information on one display panel on the condition that the two are combined.

Note that the shape of the pager is not limited to the housing shape described above.

Various modifications may be possible, such as the pencil type (Fig. 3), which has been put into practical use in recent years, or the card type.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, there is a portable information receiver that receives and stores transmitted information, and a portable information receiver that is provided separately from the information receiver and that stores information stored in the information receiver. Since the present invention is configured to include an information display body having a display means for displaying information, the information display capacity can be increased without impairing the portability of the information reception body, which is an even more remarkable effect.
