Abstract

PURPOSE:To widen the applications and to allow the user to set its application by providing a means discriminating if an identification means and an identification number satisfy a prescribed identification condition and driving a drive means in response to the discrimination. CONSTITUTION:A microcomputer 13 inputs a selective call signal C via a waveform shaping section 12 to extract a call signal PC and when the number is coincident with its own number in the storage device 14, an identification signal DC is extracted from a message signal NC of the signal C. When it is discriminated that the identification number satisfying the logic condition is included in the signal DC, whether or not the importance designation of a message is set or not is discriminated. In desiring to receive only the message with high importance, since the function number is set, when it is not set, the signal NC is decoded and stored. When it is set, a speaker 16 is energized via a ring tone generating section 15. A called party recognizes the call to stop ringing and the message is displayed on a display device 18 via a control switch 19.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention receives a calling signal and verifies its own number,
The present invention relates to a selective call receiving device with a display that receives a message signal transmitted following a call signal when these match, and drives a notification means to perform a call operation.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional selective call receiving devices with display, each selective call receiving device with display stores a predetermined own number. When the paging signal sent from the base station matches the own number, it decodes the message signal received following the paging signal and sounds a buzzer,
A selective call receiving device with a display has also been proposed which includes a display device for displaying this message.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the selective call receiving apparatus with display as described above, each unit is given a unique self-number.

Therefore, if the calling party wishes to send the same message to a plurality of called parties, he must sequentially transmit a ringing signal and a message signal to each selective call receiving device with display carried by each called party.

This is extremely troublesome for the caller. In addition, the sequential calls made by callers occupy the radio wave band used for selective calling for a long time. In such a case, it is conceivable to assign the same self-number to a plurality of display-equipped selective-call receiving devices and to have each display-equipped selective-call receiving device carried by a plurality of individuals. However, it becomes impossible to selectively call each individual within the same self-number, and the usage for the user is limited.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and provides a selective call receiving device with a display that has a wide range of uses for the user and allows the user to set the usage. It was done for the purpose of

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention employs a configuration as shown in FIG.

That is, a receiver receives a paging signal for the calling party to select a called party and a message signal following this paging signal, and a paging determining means determines that the paging signal is matched with the own number. In a selective call receiving device with a display that performs a calling operation by driving a notification means when a call is received, the device comprises: a detection means for detecting an identification signal included in the message signal; a setting means for setting an arbitrary identification number; and a setting means for setting an arbitrary identification number; storage means for storing, and determination means for determining whether the identification means and the identification number satisfy a predetermined identification condition, and the notification means is configured to be driven in accordance with the determination by the determination means. be done.

[Effect]

The selective call receiving device with display according to the present invention includes a call signal,
In addition to selective calling based on the own number, selective calling is performed when the identification signal included in the message signal and the identification number set in the display-equipped selective calling receiving device satisfy identification conditions.

The message signal can be freely set by the caller.

Therefore, the identification signal included in the message signal can also be freely set.

The identification number stored in the display-equipped selective call receiving device can be freely set by users including the calling party and the called party using the setting means.

By predetermining identification signals and identification numbers, the calling party and the called party create a selective calling system unique to these users. Note that the identification number is not limited to numbers, and includes symbols such as alphabetic characters, binary codes, and the like.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The user of the selective call receiving device with display by the present inventor not only performs selective calling using the calling signal and own number, but also uses the identification signal included in the message signal and the identification number stored in the storage means of the selective call receiving device with display. You can receive selective calls.

As described above, the selective call receiving device with display according to the present invention allows the user of the selective call receiving device with display to configure his own selective call system using the identification signal and the identification number.

Therefore, the user of the selective call receiving device with display can use the selective call receiving device with display according to the present invention for various purposes. Therefore, the selective call receiving device with display according to the present invention can be said to be a multifunctional selective call receiving device with display that can be used in a wide range of applications for the users of the selective call receiving device with display.

Embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the selective call receiving apparatus with display of this embodiment.

1 is a selective call receiving device with a display, and a control switch 19 is provided on its outer surface. It is equipped with a speaker 16° display 18, etc.

11 is a receiving section, 12 is a waveform shaping section, and 13 is a microcomputer. 14 is a storage device consisting of ROM, RAM, etc., and both reading and writing thereof are controlled by the microcomputer 13.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a sound generating section, which makes the speaker 16 sound.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a display driving section, which drives the display 18 to display according to instructions from the microcomputer 13. The display 18 is, for example, an LCD. Reference numeral 20 denotes a battery saving unit that controls power supply from a battery 21 built into the selective call receiving device 1 with display, and causes the selective call receiving device 1 with display to operate intermittently to suppress consumption of the battery 21. The control switch 19 consists of a numeric keypad and function keys.

3(a), (b), (C), and (d) are diagrams showing the signal structure of the selective calling signal C.

The synchronization signal SC is a signal for synchronizing the display-equipped selective call receiving device 1 with the transmission speed of the selective call signal C. Call signal PC is originally a selective call receiving device with individual display.
The separate signal DC is a signal for the display-equipped selective call receiving device l to check against its own number to determine whether or not it has been called.The separate signal DC will be described later.

Message signal MC is a signal obtained by encoding an arbitrary message.

FIG. 3(a) shows the basic structure of the selective call signal C.

FIG. 3(b) shows an example in which the identification signal DC is positioned at the beginning of the message signal MC.

FIG. 3(C) shows an example in which the identification signal DC is positioned at the end of the message signal MC.

FIG. 3(d) shows an example in which identification signals DCI and DC2 are placed at the beginning of the respective message signals MCI and MC2 in order to cause the two message signals MCI and MC2 to be received by different display-equipped selective call receiving devices 1. It shows.

In this embodiment, the receiving antenna 10, the receiving section 11, and the waveform shaping section 12 correspond to the receiver M1 shown in FIG.

The sound generating section 15, the speaker 16, the display driving section 17, and the display 18 correspond to the notification means M3.

The control switch 19 corresponds to the setting means M5, and the storage device 14 corresponds to the storage means M6.

The microcomputer 13 and its processing constitute a call determining means M2, a detecting means M4, and a determining means M7.

Next, the identification number, identification signal DC, and identification conditions will be explained.

In this embodiment, the calling signal and self number are common to a plurality of display selective call receiving devices.

In this embodiment, a plurality of display-equipped selective call receiving devices selected by this call signal are called a group.

Within this group, the calling party and the called party constitute a unique selective calling system.

In this embodiment, the identification number is 0000 for each group.
~9999 is provided. Of this identification number, 0000
-0009 is used as a function number for specifying the importance of a message, such as a message with low information importance (0000) or a message with high information importance (0001). Identification numbers from 0010 to 9999 are used as selection numbers for individual designation within a group, information designation indicating the content of a message, and the like. These identification numbers are input from the numeric keypad of the control switch 19.

Further, a logical sum condition corresponding to an identification condition and a logical condition of a logical product condition are inputted from the function keys of the control switch 19.

For example, if the person with selection number 0020 wants only messages of high importance, "0020.AND, 0010"
”.If you wish to call either the person with selection number 0020 or the person with selection number 0025, set “0020. OR.

Set as 0025°.

On the other hand, the identification signal DC is transmitted in the form of specifying an identification number.

For example, when calling all display selective call receiving devices belonging to a group, a signal indicating "OOI Q, ~," is used.Furthermore, when calling a person with selection number 0020 belonging to the group, The signal is set to indicate "0020." When a call is made to a person with selection number 0020 and a person with selection number 0025!71, the signal is set to indicate "0020.0025°." Further, for a range of arbitrary selection numbers in the group, a signal indicating 0040 to 0065 is used.

In this way, it is assumed that no special identification conditions are given to the identification signal DC. However, as another example,
An identification condition corresponding to a logical sum or a logical product may also be given to the identification signal DC.

Then, a call is made when the identification number specified by the identification signal DC includes the identification number set in the display-equipped selective call receiving device under the logical condition between the identification numbers set in the display and row selective call receiving device. It is determined that

This condition that the identification number is included in the identification signal under this logical condition also corresponds to the identification condition.

For example, ''002 in a selective call receiving device with display.
0, AND, 0001'', the calling operation will not be performed unless the identification signal includes both 0020' and ``ooot''.

If "0020.OR,0025" is set, the calling operation will not be performed unless the identification signal includes either "OO20," or "0025."

Note that if there is no particular function designation from 0000 to 0009, it is assumed that 0000 is designated.

In other words, the importance of the message is considered to be low.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained based on the drawings.

The calling party transmits a calling signal, an identification signal, and a number or symbol corresponding to a message signal to the base station from the nearest telephone.

A selective calling signal C transmitted from a base station (not shown) is received by the receiving section 11 from the antenna 10 of the selective calling receiving device 1 with display. The received selective call signal C is shaped by the waveform shaping section 12 into a rectangular wave that can be input to the microcomputer 13, and is input to the microcomputer 13. Then, it is stored in a predetermined area of the storage device 14.

The ROM, which is a read-only memory of the storage device 14, stores a self-number corresponding to the individual call signal PC.

On the other hand, the RAM, which is a readable and writable memory of the storage device 14, stores a plurality of identification numbers written by the user from the control switch 19 and logical conditions between the identification numbers.

The microcomputer 13° operates by repeatedly executing a predetermined program.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing one cycle of operation of the microcomputer 13.

In step 101, the selection call signal C from the waveform shaping section 12 is input as data. In step 102, the calling signal PC is extracted from the selective calling signal C. Step 1
At step 03, it is determined whether the call signal PC matches the own number stored in the storage device f14.

In step 104, it is determined whether an identification number is set in the storage device 14 or not.

In step 105, the message signal M of the selective call signal C is
The identification signal DC is extracted from C. This extraction is performed by extracting data at the position where the identification signal DC should be located, if the position of the identification signal DC included in the message signal MC is determined in advance. Furthermore, if the device for the identification signal DC is not determined, predetermined signals may be inserted at the beginning and end of the identification signal DC.

In step 106, it is determined whether the selection number satisfies the logical condition and is included in the identification signal DC.
．． OR,0025", the identification signal DC
must be a signal containing at least one of °“0020”- or 0025”.Here, °“NO
When branching to oo, no paging operation is performed.

When branching to “YES” in step 106, the process proceeds to step 107. In step 107, it is determined whether "0001", which is the message importance designation, is set.0 Function number "0001" is set when you want to receive only messages with high importance, so this is set. If not, call operation (step 11) described later.
0 to 112) are executed. 'In step 108, it is determined whether the identification signal DC includes the function number "0001". If "'0001" is not included, the message signal MC is decoded and stored in step 109. As a result, when the message is of low importance, only the message is stored.

The message stored here is indicated by a predetermined operation of the control switch 19 by the user.

If it is determined in steps 107 and 108 that the function number "0001" designated by the importance level is not set or that the function number "0001" is set and is included in the identification signal, steps 110 to 112 Execute the calling operation.

In step 110 the message signal MC is decoded and stored.

In step l11, the sound generator 15 is commanded to cause the speaker 16 to produce sound.

This ringing alerts the called party to the call and stops the ringing. Then, by a predetermined operation of the control switch 19, a message is displayed on the display 18 in step 112. Here, when a plurality of identification numbers and logical conditions are set, the selected identification number and logical condition are displayed.

An example of the use of this embodiment described above will be explained.

First, if the called party does not set an identification number, it operates in the same way as a conventional selective call receiving device with display. That is, steps 101, 102, 103, 10 in FIG.
As shown in the processing of 4,110,111,112,
It will ring only when the calling signal PC and the own number match,
Display messages.

Further, in this embodiment, the identification number set in the display-equipped selective call receiving device is divided into a function number and a selection number. By setting the selection number to a number unique to the individual within the group, it is possible to selectively call the individual. Further, by setting the selection number according to the type of message, such as stock information or traffic information, it is possible to selectively call according to desired information. Furthermore, the importance of a message is expressed by a function number, and the presence or absence of a sound is switched depending on the importance of the message. This allows the called party to restrict calls when he or she does not want to receive calls, such as during a meeting.

Additionally, the called party can add logical conditions between the selection number and the feature number, allowing various combinations to be set. For example, “0020,OR,0025
,OR,0030", the identification signal becomes "0".
You can receive a call when the number contains either "020", "0025", or "0030".

Further, the identification signal can specify one identification number or a plurality of identification numbers. for example,"
0020" or °"0010゜~°", "0025
．． You can also specify a selection number range of identification numbers, such as ~,0040'''.Then, in the selective call receiving device with display, the selection number set in the selective call receiving device with display can be specified under this identification number under logical conditions. The presence or absence of a call is determined based on its inclusion in the signal.

Further, in this embodiment, it is not necessary that the identification signal and the identification number match, and it is sufficient that the identification signal includes the identification number satisfying the logical condition. Note that this identification condition may be added to the identification signal.

In this way, in the selective call receiving device with display of this embodiment,
The user of the display-equipped selective call receiving device can configure his or her own selective call system using the identification signal and the conditions between the identification numbers. Therefore, it can be said that the selective call receiving device with display has a wide range of uses for users.

In this embodiment, the identification number is a four-digit number, but it may also be a symbol such as an alphabetic character, or a binary code.

Also, among logical conditions, even if you do not set OR, which corresponds to a logical sum condition, if no logical condition is set,
OR", and if the function number is set, "'A
It may be assumed that ND"' is set.

Further, in this embodiment, the function numbers are determined to be 0000 to 0009, and the operations according to each function number are also determined in advance.
' For example, 0001 desires only messages of high importance, and when a message of low importance is called, only the message is stored, and when a message of high importance is called, a sound is made and the message is stored.

However, it is also possible to predetermine only the operations of the display-equipped selective calling device that are selected by function numbers, and allow the user to set the function numbers corresponding to each operation using the ten keys and function keys of the control switch 19. In this way, the user of the selective calling device with display can configure a selective calling system based on a unique function number and the operation of the selective calling device with display corresponding to this function number.
