Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate the transmission operation of a character message in the same manner as dialing at message reception. SOLUTION: This device 1 uses a character discrimination section 5 to discriminate a telephone number (numeral data), a dual tone multi-frequency(DTMF) signal generating section 7 conducts signal conversion and the converted signal is sounded from a speaker 8. In order to facilitate the transmission of a character message, combinations of numerals stored in a character string storage section 6 are converted into a DTMF signal, which is sounded from the speaker 8. A start button 9 is used to individually send numerals and characters from a received message.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a radio paging device for receiving and accumulating a message from a caller, and more particularly to a DTMF (Dual Tone Multi) message for accumulating a message.
The present invention relates to a radio pager (pager) having a function of outputting a Frequency signal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional radio calling device has a function of receiving and accumulating a message from a caller, visually displaying the message on a display unit, and emitting a ringing tone to notify a carrier of the radio calling device.

Further, the radio paging device uses the D data corresponding to the numerical data in the message including the numerical data and the character data.
It has a function of transmitting a TMF signal from a speaker and making a call to a telephone of a caller side without performing a dial operation (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 3-104327 and 1-18).
9238, etc.). As a result, it is possible to avoid the trouble of having to check the contents each time a call is received and manually make a call, and to avoid erroneous dialing.

[0004]

However, if the destination of the call (caller) is a wireless calling device, even if a user wants to send a message of similar character data, he / she cannot send it immediately without certain knowledge. There is.

The reason for this is that when a character data message is sent, the character is determined by a combination of numbers, etc., so the sender must remember or refer to the manual. .

[0006]

The radio paging apparatus of the present invention, when receiving a paging signal, visually displays the received message and converts the numerical data corresponding to the telephone number of the other party into a DTMF signal and outputs it from the speaker. In a radio calling device having a function of outputting and transmitting, at least one of character data included in the received message and character data stored in advance is converted into a combination of at least two numbers 0-9. And a DTM corresponding to a signal of a combination of numbers from the first means.
Second means for generating respective F signals and outputting them from the speaker.

Further, this radio paging device is provided with a third means for discriminating between numeric data and character data contained in the received message and inputting to the first means in the case of character data.

In the radio calling device of the present invention, the numeric data and the character data corresponding to the telephone number can be discriminated from the received message and the DTMF signal corresponding to the telephone number can be transmitted by the button operation. By sending a signal to the speaker, you can call without the trouble of dialing. Further, even when the destination is a pager, the received character data or the character data stored in the character string storage section can be output as a signal, so that a character message can be sent without dialing.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1 showing an embodiment of the present invention, in a radio paging apparatus 1, 2 is a receiving section, 3 is a message storage section for storing a received message, 4 is a display for visually displaying the message, 5 Is a character discriminating unit for discriminating between numbers and characters in a message, 6 is a storage unit for storing a combination of numbers necessary for sending a character message and each character message, and 7 is a DT corresponding to each number or character
A DTMF signal generator for generating an MF signal, 8 is a speaker, and 9 is a start button.

In this structure, the message received by the receiver 2 is displayed on the display 4 and the ringing tone is output from the speaker 8. When the wearer presses the button 9, the character discriminating unit 5 operates and discriminates whether the display message includes only numbers or letters.
The TMF signal generator 7 converts the DTMF signal one by one,
A sound corresponding to a numeral is transmitted from the speaker 8. Character discrimination unit 5
If the character is determined to be a character, the DTMF signal generator 7 converts it into a DTMF signal corresponding to the numeral combination stored in the character string storage 6 and outputs it from the speaker 8. The character string storage unit 6 stores in advance a combination of at least two numbers "0 to 9" corresponding to each character. When the message is both numbers and letters, it can be output in order by operating the start button 9. In addition, a combination of numbers and character data in the character string storage unit 6 is selected in advance by operating a call button, a select button, or the like, which is a desired character, and is combined with the character data in the received message or alone. Can be sent as a text message to the other party's radio calling device.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention,
If the other party is a radio calling device, a DTMF signal corresponding to a desired character can be transmitted without sending a character message or checking a number combination.

The reason is that even if the message is a character, the display character or a numerical combination corresponding to an arbitrary character is stored in advance and the speaker can be output by the DTMF signal.
