Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To process a long message exceeding a limit by the signal format of a selective radio system by connecting individually plural messages and displaying them as one message. SOLUTION: A processing part 12 processes signals received by a radio reception part 11 and informs a carrying person of a fact that a call is present by alarm sound, vibration or display to a display part 13 when call signals to itself are present. When the character information of KANA (Japanese syllabary) and numeral or the like is received accompanying the call signals to itself, the processing part 12 also assembles the message from the character information. Then, in the case that the assembled message is to be connected to the other previously received message, a message connection processing part 16 displays it at the display part 13 following the previous message and stores it in a memory part 14. The message stored in the memory part 14 in such a manner is displayed at the display part 13 again by operating an operation part 15 by the carrying person.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a radio selective call receiver capable of receiving a message composed of kana, numbers and other character information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a conventional radio selective calling receiver. This radio selective call receiver
Wireless receiving unit 21, processing unit 22, display unit 23, memory unit 2
4 and the operation unit 25. The wireless receiver 21 intermittently receives the wireless selective calling signal at a predetermined timing. The processing unit 22 processes the signal received by the wireless reception unit 21, and when there is a calling signal addressed to itself, notifies the wearer that there is a calling by an alarm sound, a vibration, or a display on the display unit 23. . Processing unit 22
Also, when kana, numbers, and other character information is received in response to a call signal addressed to itself, a message is assembled from the character information, displayed on the display unit 23, and stored in the memory unit 24. The message accumulated in the memory unit 24 can be displayed on the display unit 23 again by the operator operating the operation unit 25.

When such a radio selective call receiver is used, the length of the message that can be received for each call is limited by the signal format of the radio selective call system in which the receiver is used. Therefore, when it is desired to send a long message exceeding the limit to the carrier of the radio selective call receiver, the sender needs to divide the long message into a plurality of messages and call the plurality of times.

FIG. 5 shows an example of message reception when the conventional radio selective call receiver is used. Where the sender is
It is assumed that the radio selective call receiver 20 transmits a message "Shinji Yukki Minami Guchi Noshi Yugo Jikanwo 10:00 10:00 11:00 Nihenkou". Also,
This message cannot be input and sent once, and the sender shall input and send it in four times. In this case, the sender first transmits "Shinji Equique Minamig" to the radio selective calling receiver 20 as a first message. Upon receiving the message, the radio selective call receiver 20 stores it in the memory unit as the first message. The sender then sends "Chino Yugouji" in the same manner as the second message, and the radio selective call receiver 20 performs the second process in the same manner.
No. message is stored in the memory section. Furthermore, the sender sends the third message, "Kanwo 10:00 color 1
1 "and" 00:00:00 "as the fourth message, and the radio selective calling receiver 20 stores them in the memory as the third message and the fourth message, respectively. The four messages stored in the memory unit can be displayed on the display unit 23 by the operator manually operating the operation unit 25. At this time, four messages are displayed one by one by designating the first message, the second message, the third message, and the fourth message on the operation unit 25, and the wearer switches the four messages by the operation unit 25. Can be confirmed.

[0005]

As described above, in the conventional radio selective calling receiver, when the sender divides a message exceeding a length limited by the signal format of the radio selective calling system into a plurality of messages and transmits them. In addition, the message was treated as multiple different messages.
For this reason, the connection of messages may become unclear in a message with a limited number of characters, or the intention of the sender may not be accurately transmitted. Also, the carrier of the radio selective call receiver needs to confirm multiple messages,
The operation was complicated.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a radio selective call receiver capable of processing a long message exceeding the limitation due to the signal format of the radio selective call system.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A radio selective calling receiver of the present invention receives a radio selective calling signal and receives and responds to a calling signal addressed to itself, and is received in response to the calling signal addressed to itself. In a radio selective call receiver having a message display means for displaying a message consisting of character information, and a concatenation processing means for concatenating a plurality of messages received respectively with a plurality of call signals addressed to itself as a continuous message. It is characterized by having.

The concatenation processing means includes a concatenation judgment means for detecting a code added to the divided portion when the sender of the message divides the message into a plurality of pieces and transmits the message to judge the connection of the received message. Is desirable. As such a code, it is desirable to use a code that the sender can manually input and send as a part of the message from the telephone terminal. In such a case, the code can be added to the end of one message by the connection determination means. It is desirable to include means for determining that the received code and the code added to the beginning of the received message follow the predetermined rule and that the messages should be connected.

1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, showing an example of the structure of a radio selective calling receiver. This radio selective call receiver is a radio receiving unit 1 for receiving a radio selective call signal and responding to a call signal addressed to itself.
1 and a processing unit 12, a memory unit 14 and a display unit 13 for accumulating and displaying a message composed of character information received in response to a calling signal addressed to itself, and further, a portable person performs a manual operation. The operation unit 15 for The processing unit 12 includes a message concatenation processing unit 16 that concatenates a plurality of messages received with a plurality of call signals addressed to itself as a continuous message.

The radio receiving unit 11 intermittently receives the radio selective calling signal at a predetermined timing.
The processing unit 12 processes the signal received by the wireless reception unit 11, and when there is a ringing signal addressed to itself, an alarm sound,
Vibration or display on the display unit 23 notifies the carrier that there is a call. The processing unit 22 also assembles a message from character information such as kana, numbers, and the like when the character information such as kana, numbers, and the like is received along with the call signal addressed to itself. The message concatenation processing unit 16 confirms whether or not the assembled message should be concatenated with another previously received message, and when it is not concatenated, the message concatenation processing unit 16 displays it on the display unit 13 as it is. It is also stored in the memory unit 14. If the message is to be connected, it is displayed on the display unit 13 following the previous message and stored in the memory unit 14. The accumulation of the message in the memory unit 14 may be performed in a linked state or may be performed in a state before being linked. The message stored in the memory unit 14 can be displayed on the display unit 13 again by the operator operating the operation unit 15.

As a simple operation example, one message is divided into two, and a code for connecting the message to the end of the first message and the message to the beginning of the second message (hereinafter referred to as "concatenation code") The case where is added will be described.

When the first message is received by the wireless reception unit 11 and assembled by the processing unit 12, the message concatenation processing unit 16 confirms whether or not there is a concatenation code for message concatenation at the beginning of the message.
In this case, since it is the first message, there is no concatenated code, and the processing unit 12 displays the message on the display unit 13 and stores it in the memory unit 14.

Then, the second message is sent to the wireless reception unit 11.
When the message is received and is assembled by the processing unit 12, the message concatenation processing unit 16 confirms whether or not there is a concatenation code at the beginning of the message. In this case, since there is a concatenation code, the message concatenation processing unit 16 confirms whether or not there is a concatenation code for concatenating the second message at the end of the first message previously stored in the memory unit 14. . When confirmed, the message concatenation processing unit 1
6 connects the first message and the second message and displays them on the display unit 13, and connects the two messages,
Alternatively, the second message is stored in the memory unit 14 independently of the already stored first message.

When the message stored in the memory unit 14 is to be checked again, the carrier manually operates the operation unit 15. When the messages are linked and stored in the memory unit 14, the processing unit 12 reads the message as it is and displays it on the display unit 13. When the messages are individually stored, the message connection processing unit 16 connects them again and displays them on the display unit 13.

FIG. 2 shows a processing flow in the message concatenation processing unit. Here, the message (n-1) represents the message stored in the message memory number n-1, and the message (n) represents the next received message. First, when the message (n) is received, it is confirmed whether or not a concatenated code for concatenating the previously received message is attached to the head of the received message (n).
When a confirmation is made and a concatenation code for concatenating with the preceding reception message is attached to the head, it is confirmed whether or not the preceding reception message (n-1) actually exists. When there is no concatenation code or when the previous reception message (n-1) does not exist, the message (n) is displayed as it is. When the previous reception message (n-1) exists, the message (n) is added to the end of the previous reception message (n-1).
Check if the concatenated code at the beginning of is attached to indicate that the concatenated code is connectable. When the concatenation code indicating that the concatenation is possible is attached, the concatenation code at the end of the message (n-1) and the concatenation code at the beginning of the message (n) are deleted, and one message is assembled. The assembled message is displayed as one message.

[0017]

FIG. 3 shows an example of receiving a message. here,
The sender indicates to the radio selective call receiver 10 "Shinji Yukiki Minami Guchi Noshi Yugo Gojikan 0:00 10:00 11:11.
The message "00 change" shall be transmitted. In addition, this message cannot be input and transmitted once, and the sender shall input and transmit in four times. further,
As a concatenated code at the end of the message, "[(number 1
"(Digit)", and "(one digit of digit)]" is used as the concatenated code at the beginning of the next message concatenated with it.
The symbols "[" and "]" indicate "* 4",
It is sent by entering "* 6". Mutually connected one digit is the same digit, and the digit can be arbitrarily selected. If the numbers are different, message concatenation is not performed.

[0018] In this case, the sender first inputs "Shinji Equique Minamig" and then "* 4" as the concatenation code.
Enter "1". As a result, "Shinji Yukki minamigu [1]" is transmitted as the first message. In the radio selective call receiver 10, when the message is received,
A message is displayed on the display unit 13 in a form including the connection code. Next, the sender sends "Chinosyuugouji" as the second message, and at this time, enters the same number "1" as the concatenation code added to the end of the first message,
Subsequently, "* 6" is input, and then the second message "Shingo Yugouji" is input, and finally, the concatenation code "* 41" is input. As a result, “1] Ryukyu Shinji [1” is transmitted as the second message. Upon receiving the message, the radio selective calling receiver 10 connects the first message and the second message and displays the message "Shinji Yukiki Minami Guchi Noshigogoji [1]" on the display unit 13. The concatenated code between the first message and the second message shall be deleted. Similarly, the sender sends "1]
0:00 Kara 11 [1] "and" 1]: 00: 00 Nihenkou "as the third message are transmitted, and the radio selective call receivers 10 respectively send" Shinji Yukki Kimi no Miguchi Chino Yugoji Kan Gokan "at 10:00 am. 11 [1] ”,“ Shinji Yukki Kimi no Mi Guchi no Shoujo Gojikkan 10:00 10:00 Kara 11:00 Nihenkou ”are displayed. Thus, 4
The messages transmitted in batches are displayed on the display unit 13 as one message. Further, the connected message can be displayed again on the display unit 13 by the operation unit 15, and the divided message can be confirmed at once. Further, if the numbers used for the concatenation code are individually assigned to the senders, it is possible to prevent connections between messages of different senders.

[0019]

As described above, the radio selective calling receiver of the present invention can concatenate a plurality of individually transmitted messages and display them as one message.
Particularly, when the sender divides and transmits a long message that cannot be transmitted at one time due to the limitation of the signal format of the radio selective calling method, the sender is concatenated at the end and the beginning of each message to be concatenated. By adding a code for this, a plurality of messages individually transmitted on the receiver side can be linked and displayed simultaneously as one message. Therefore, the message connection is not clear due to the limited number of characters in the divided messages, the sender's intention is not accurately transmitted, or the operation is complicated for the carrier to check multiple messages. The conventional problem of becoming is solved.
