Embodiments Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of a wireless selective calling receiver with a display function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the radio selective calling receiver with display function of this embodiment includes an antenna 1, a radio section 2,
Waveform shaping circuit 3, decoder section 4, ID memory section 5, CP
It includes U6, driver section 7, LCD driver 8, LCD 9, memory 10, LED 11, speaker 12 and keyboard 13. The wireless selective call receiver with a display function of this embodiment performs a call notification by receiving a signal including its own selective call number, and also displays a message included in the received signal. In addition to the original functions of the machine, it also has an electronic notebook-like function and an automatic registration function for electronic notebook recorded contents. Here, the recorded contents as an electronic notebook are stored in memory 10.
It is recorded in the electronic notebook area reserved for .

FIG. 3 shows an example of the structure of the contents recorded in the electronic notebook area of the memory 10. As shown in the figure, an electronic notebook area 101 contains first information 10 such as a person's name and a company name.
A plurality of sets of 2 and second information 103 such as an address and a telephone number, which are associated information, are stored.

Manual registration of information in the electronic notebook area 101 is performed using the keyboard 13. That is, the user inputs first information such as a person's name or company name, and second information such as an address or telephone number as accompanying information using the keyboard 13 that can input numbers, alphabets, etc. When the CPU 6 instructs registration, the CPU 6 registers the input first information 102 in the free space in the electronic notebook area 101 of the memory 10, and further stores the first information 102.
The second information 103 inputted above is registered in association with. Note that if only the first information is input, the second information
information will not be registered. The information manually registered in the electronic notebook area 101 in this way can be accessed by operating the keyboard 13, similar to the automatically registered information described later.
It is possible to display it on the CD9. This will be discussed later.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. In FIG. 2, the radio signal received by antenna 1 is transmitted to radio unit 2.
The signal is amplified and then demodulated. The demodulated signal is sent to the waveform shaping circuit 3
is converted into a digital signal by the decoder section 4.
The own selective call number stored in the D memory section 5 is compared with the selective call number in the digital signal. When the user's own selective call number is received, the decoder unit 4 outputs the message to that effect and a message included in the digital signal to the CPU 6. In response to this, the CPU 6 performs an automatic registration process, outputs a control signal to the driver section 7 to notify the user of a call in the form of flashing the LED 11 and ringing the speaker 12, and outputs a control signal to the LCD driver 8. The received message is displayed on the LCD 9 by outputting.

FIG. 4 shows a CP that executes the operations described above.
It is a flowchart which shows the example of a process of U6. When the CPU 6 is notified from the decoder unit 4 of the fact that its own selected call number has been received and a message (YES in S1),
It is determined whether information surrounded by the symbols [ and symbols ] exists in the message (S2). Then, if it is determined that such information does not exist (NO in S2)
, the driver section 7 is controlled to issue a call notification in the form of flashing the LED 11 and sounding the speaker 12, and the L
The CD driver 8 is controlled to display the received message on the LCD 9 (S3), and the process returns to step S1 to wait for message reception. Incidentally, the received message is stored in the memory 10 in the same way as in the conventional case, so that it can be redisplayed later.

On the other hand, in processing S2, if it is determined that information surrounded by the symbols [ and symbols ] exists in the message (YES in S2), the CPU 6 selects the symbol [
The same information as the information surrounded by and symbols ] is stored in memory 1.
A search is made to see if the first information 102 has already been registered in the electronic notebook area 101 of No. 0 (S4). If the same information is not registered (NO in S4), processing S
7 and if the same information is registered (YES in S4)
S), processes S5 and S6 are executed.

For example, in the electronic notebook area 101, "Taro Yamada" is registered as the first information, "03-123-1234" is registered as the corresponding second information, and other information is not registered. In a state where the
When the CPU 6 receives the message "[Tanaka Hanako] 03-123-4567 Jitaku", the CPU 6 determines in step S4 that the same information is not registered, and in step S7 notifies the user of the call, and also displays the message shown in FIG. 5(a) on the LCD 9, for example. The received message is displayed as shown in , and the symbol [
A mark 91 as shown in the figure is displayed to notify that the same information as the information surrounded by and symbols ] is not registered. Then, the process returns to step S1 and waits for message reception.

[0017] Furthermore, in the above state, when receiving the message "[Taro Yamada] Chiyodaku Nihonbashi 1-2-3", the CPU 6 determines in process S4 that the same information has been registered, and in process S5, the received message is Information other than the information surrounded by the symbol [ and the symbol], that is, the information "Chiyodaku Nihonbashi 1-2-3",
It is registered in the electronic notebook area 101 of the memory 10 as second information corresponding to the first information "Taro Yamada." At this time, if another second information has already been registered, leave it and register the current second information, and the second information registered this time is the information required for automatic registration. Record it in some way. Therefore, in the current example, the first
The second information corresponding to the information "Yamada Taro" is "
03-123-1234" has already been registered,
This time, the second information "Chiyodaku Nihonbashi 1-2-3" is additionally registered, and it is recorded that this is information related to automatic registration. Thereafter, in process S6, the CPU 6 notifies the caller, and also displays the LCD 9, for example, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), the received message is displayed, and a mark 92 as shown is displayed to notify that information other than the information surrounded by the symbols [ and symbols ] has been automatically registered. Then, the process returns to step S1 and waits for message reception.

Thereafter, when the user operates the keyboard 13 to display the contents of the electronic notebook area 101 of the memory 10 or makes a search request specifying the first information, the CPU 10 displays the contents of the electronic notebook area 101 on the LCD 9. Furthermore, the information obtained by searching the electronic notebook area 101 using the specified first information is displayed on the LCD 9.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of search processing by the CPU 6. As shown in the figure, when a search request specifying first information is input from the keyboard 13, the CPU 6 registers the same first information as the input first information in the electronic notebook area 101. Search to see if there is one (
S11), and if it is not registered, a message to that effect is displayed on the LCD 9 (S12), and the process of FIG. 6 ends. If registered, the first information and the corresponding second information are read out from the electronic notebook area 101 and displayed on the LCD 9 (S13). At this time, the source of the second information is also displayed. For example, as shown above, the electronic notebook area 10
1, the first information “Yamada Taro” and the second information “03
-123-1234” is manually registered,
When the second information "Chiyodaku Nihonbashi 1-2-3" is automatically registered and a search is performed using "Yamada Taro", a display as shown in FIG. 5(c) is displayed on the LCD 9. In the same figure, mark 93 is indicated by the following indication “0
3-123-1234" is the information entered from the keyboard 13, and the mark 94 indicates that the following display "Chiyodaku Nihonbashi 1-2-3" is automatically registered information, that is, a received message. .

[0020]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the wireless selective calling receiver with display function of the present invention, the symbols [ and
If the same information as the person's name, company name, etc. that exists in a specified place in the calling message is already registered in the memory, such as the information between the symbols ], the rest of the phone number, address, etc. in the message information is automatically registered in memory, so you can simply register personal names, company names, etc. in memory in advance, and there is no need to manually register accompanying information such as addresses transmitted in messages that include them. It has the effect of eliminating Further, since registration is performed even if the user does not carry a receiver, or even if the user does not check the received message even if the user carries the receiver, it is possible to eliminate omissions in registration.

[0021] Furthermore, when automatic registration has been performed, this fact is displayed on the display, so that it is possible to confirm the contents of automatic registration.

Furthermore, when the information stored in the memory is read out and displayed on the display, whether the second information such as the telephone number or address is input from the input device or automatically registered is determined. Since the information is clearly displayed, it is possible to confirm the source of the registered content.
