Abstract

PURPOSE:To quickly and surely receive reception information by reading out the attribute of a call from a storage part at the time of turning on a power source again and reporting the call in the case of an unreported call or an unconfirmed call. CONSTITUTION:When the reception report auto-reset mode is set to turn on a power switch SW 1, the call stored in a storage part 2 is reported as an unreported call by an alert generating part 6 and a liquid crystal display device 5. If this call is not confirmed by a user, report is automatically stopped after a certain time, and the call is stored in the storage part 2 as an unconfirmed call. When the memory alert auto-reset mode is set to turn on the power switch SW 1, the call stored as an unconfirmed call is reported by alert, and the call is stored in the storage part 2 as a read call when a receiver performs the confirmation operation, but the call is stored in the storage part 2 as an unconfirmed call again when he does not perform the confirmation operation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a radio selective paging signal receiver according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a power switch, and in order to conserve battery power, the power is turned off when not in use and turned on when in use.

A storage unit 2 stores at least call attributes and call notification means information. Here, there are three types of call attributes: unreported call, unconfirmed call, and read call. Among these, an "unreported call" is a call that has been received by the wireless selective call receiver, but has not been reported to the user (receiver) because the receiver has put the report on hold. An "unconfirmed call" is a call that has been received and reported by the receiver, but has been auto-reset and is therefore unconfirmed by the user. A "read call" is a call that has been confirmed by the user.

3 is a circuit for checking call attributes;
The attributes of the call stored in the storage unit 2 are read out and the type thereof is checked. 4 is a notification control unit, storage unit 2;
Based on the signal from the call attribute check circuit 3, the liquid crystal display section 5 and/or the alert generating section 6 are controlled.

The liquid crystal display section 5 includes an LCD (liquid crystal display) 52 and an LCD driver 51 that drives the LCD, and displays information such as characters and graphics. The alert generator 6 includes a speaker 61 that generates an alert sound, and a light emitting diode 62 that notifies reception by emitting light or vibration.
, and a vibrator 63. If at least one of the liquid crystal display 52, speaker 61, light emitting diode 62, and vibrator 63 is provided, calling can be performed, but in order to increase the added value by increasing the functionality and performance of the wireless selective calling receiver It is preferable to have all of the above. Note that other components such as the radio unit not shown in FIG. 1 are the same as those of conventionally known radio selective calling receivers.

Next, the operation of the radio selective calling receiver of the present invention having the above configuration will be explained. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating changes in the attributes of a received call. As described above, there are three types of call attributes, and the attributes of a received call are first stored in a storage unit (not shown) as an unreported call (100 in the figure). Subsequently, a notification of the received call is made. At this time, a manual reset is performed by the user of the received call.
) (200 in the same figure), the attribute of the call is set as a read call (102 in the same figure). Further, if the user does not perform a manual reset and the radio selective calling receiver performs an auto reset (201 in the same figure), the attribute of the call is set as an unconfirmed call (101 in the same figure). If a received call is not reported, the attributes of the call remain unchanged as an unreported call (see Figure 1).
00). Note that the call attribute change process is performed by the control unit 4. Thus, a call received by the receiver is stored as one of an unreported call, an unconfirmed call, or a read call. It is assumed that the power switch of the receiver is turned off in this state.

Next, in the above state, when the power switch 1 shown in FIG. 1 is turned on, the call attribute checking circuit 3 reads out the call attribute from the storage unit 2. At this time, if the read attribute of the call is an unreported call or an unconfirmed call among the three types of attributes, the control section 4 is activated and the reporting means information stored in the storage section 2 is read out. The notification means information relates to information on how to drive the notification means such as the LCD 52, the speaker 61, the light emitting diode 62, and the vibrator 63, singly or in combination, and these notification means are driven based on this notification means information. are activated singly or in any combination to report a call. Note that when displaying on a liquid crystal display, the received character information and the like are read out by the control section 4 and sent to the LCD driver 51.

[0013] Among the above states, if the user manually resets the memory alert in response to a report where the attribute of the call is an unconfirmed call (202 in Fig. 2), the unconfirmed call is treated as a called call (same as Figure 102). In addition, if the user does not perform a manual reset and the selective call receiver performs an automatic reset (203 in the same figure),
The call is treated as an unconfirmed call (101 in the same figure).

Next, the functional aspect of the above radio selective calling receiver will be explained. When the wireless selective calling receiver is set to the reception notification auto-reset mode, calls stored in the storage unit 2 as unreported calls are notified by the alert 6 and the liquid crystal display 5 by turning on the power SW1. . If the call is not confirmed by the user, the call will be automatically stopped after a certain period of time and will be stored in the storage unit 2 as an unconfirmed call. In addition, if the memory alert auto-reset mode is set, by turning on the power switch 1 in the same way, calls stored as unconfirmed calls will be notified by an alert, and when the recipient confirms the calls, calls that have been read out will be alerted. If there is no confirmation operation by the receiver, the call is again stored in the storage unit 2 as an unconfirmed call. In this way, the function is triggered by turning on the power switch 1 to read the attributes of the call stored in the storage unit 2, and if the attributes are an unreported call or an unconfirmed call, the function is to notify the user again. Equipped with

[0015]

As explained above, the wireless selective calling signal receiver of the present invention reads the attributes of a call from the storage section when the power is turned on again, and if the call is an unreported call or an unconfirmed call, Since the configuration is configured to notify this, there is an effect that the user can receive the received information quickly and reliably.
