Or when the existence of the non-read message is confirmed, notifying the mobile operator of the reception or the presence according to the individual notification schedule set by the notification schedule setting means, and notifying the received message or the unread message. And control means for displaying on the display means.

According to another aspect of the present invention, a method of controlling a paging receiver for notifying a traveler having a paging receiver to receive a paging call is continuously received following a page number upon receipt of the paging call so that a message stored in a memory means is stored in the traveler. Setting a time schedule for identifying whether the message has not yet been read and remains an unread message by the server, identifying whether the unread message exists in the memory means according to the time schedule, and If the presence of a read message is confirmed, the presence of the message is notified to the traveler, and the message is displayed on the display means.

In addition, a control method of a paging receiver for notifying a traveler having a paging receiver with a plurality of notification means for receiving a paging call is continuously received after the paging call and at the time of receiving the paging call. A message stored in the means has not yet been read by the operator, specifying one or more notification means to be activated for each if the message remains in the memory means together with the respective runtime of each of the one or more notification means. Setting a notification schedule, setting a time schedule for identifying whether there is an unread message in the memory means, and identifying whether there is an unread message in the memory means according to the time schedule; And receiving the paging call or the unread message. And when the existence is confirmed, notifying the reception or the existence according to the respective notification schedule, and displaying the received message or the unread message on the display means.

The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The paging receiver shown in FIG. 1 includes an antenna (1), a radio (2), a waveform shaping circuit (3), a decoder (4), a crystal oscillator (5), a CPU (6), and an EEPROM (electrical erasure and programmable). ROM (7), switch (8), LCD (liquid crystal display) drive circuit (9), LCD (10), LED (light emitting diode) drive circuit (12), speaker drive circuit (13), SP (speaker) (14), a VIB (vibrator) drive circuit 15, and a VIB 16. The CPU 6 incorporates a memory 61 and a timer 62.

The radio signal received by the antenna 1 is amplified and demodulated by the radio unit 2. The waveform shaping circuit 3 converts the demodulated signal into a digital signal having a waveform readable by the decoder 4. The decoder 4 receives the digital signal while keeping in synchronization with the reference clock generated by the crystal oscillator 5, and the address number (page number) of the paging receiver, which has been written in advance in the EEPROM 7, with the received digital signal. ). If the digital signal matches the address number as a result of this comparison, the decoder 4 determines that a paging call has been received by the paging receiver. Subsequently, the decoder 4 receives the message signal following the page number and stores the received signal in the memory 61 built in the CPU 6. The CPU 6 causes the driving circuit to drive appropriate notification means to inform the reception of the paging call, and the LCD driving circuit 9 drives the LCD 10 to display the received message | If the message stored in the memory 61 at the time of reception was not read by a traveler who did not recognize the notification signal, the message remains in the memory 61 as an unread message.

The paging receiver is driven by the LED composition circuit 11, the LED 12 to flash the light, the speaker (SP) 14 driven by the speaker drive circuit 13 to generate an audible sound or melody, and the vibrator ( VIB) has a plurality of notification means including a vibrator 16 which is driven by the drive circuit 15 to generate vibration. The CPU 6 incorporating the memory 61 and the timer 62 controls the operation of each paging receiver component in accordance with the control procedure stored in the memory 61, and checks for the presence of an unread message in the memory 61. It serves as an unread message identification means for identification. The CPU 6 is also in response to the operation of the switch 8 as identification time setting means for indicating a time schedule for identifying and confirming the presence of an unread message, and when a paging call is received and an unread message. In the case where the macro is confirmed to exist, it is provided as a notification schedule setting means for designating one or more notification means which are operable and a notification time interval.

In the identification time schedule of the unread message existence, the time may be set at multiple times every predetermined time after a designated time interval, for example, in a single designated period, for example, in consideration of a work schedule or activity of a traveler.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a notification process according to the paging receiver of FIG. 1 according to the present invention.

At the start, the operator operates the switch 8 to set the first and second notification schedules and time schedules on the timer 61 via the CPU 6 for identifying the presence of unread messages stored in the memory 61. (Step 1) When the paging call is received by the paging receiver (step 2), the CPU 6 notifies the receiving means of the reception of the paging call according to the first notification schedule, and immediately displays the received message on the LCD 10. (Step 3). When the traveler recognizes the notification signal, the reset operation of the switch 8 is transmitted to the CPU 6 so that the traveler checks the message (step 4). However, if the traveler does not recognize the notification at a preset time interval, unread information is provided to the message and the message is stored in the memory 61 as an unread message (step 5).

Next, the CPU 6 searches for the unread message identification schedule set in the timer 62 (sixth step). When the identification time comes, the CPU 6 searches for the message to which the unread information is given (step 7). If the answer is YES in the seventh step, the CPU 6 notifies the notification means of the existence of the unread message according to the second notification schedule, and drives the LCD driving circuit 9 to display it on the LCD 10. The read message is displayed (step 8). When the traveler recognizes the notification signal of the presence of the unread message and checks the message (step 9), the reset operation of the switch 8 is transmitted to the CPU 6, so that the unread information is set in advance in the message. If it is not recognized within the interval, the message with unread information is stored in the memory 61 as an unread message (step 5).

If the message is not deleted by the operation of the rider's switch 8 even after the message is confirmed (YES in step 4) and the read-out information is deleted (step 10), the message is stored in memory ( And remains until memory 61 overflows.

The notification schedule instructs or allocates an operation time (notification time) to each notification means. The notification schedule, for example, allows simultaneous designation of a plurality of notification means groups, differential time designation for a single notification means and a plurality of notification means groups, and a different time designation for each gating notification means. Various notification schedules can be set for any notification means by arbitrarily specifying the start moment and duration.

The notification schedule is laid out by setting the first notification schedule when the reception of the paging call is notified and the second notification schedule when the group of unread messages is notified. The two schedules are prepared independently of each other. Various changes are possible in consideration of the activity environment of the activator and the unique characteristics of the notification signal. Melodies in the form may be prepared in the first and second notification schedules.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, it is apparent that the present invention can be variously modified and changed without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention as defined in the following claims.
