Description

How to Receive Self-Phase Message from Flex Pager

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pager. In particular, even when a plurality of addresses having different phases are used in a FLEX (hereinafter, referred to as "flex") pager, the magnetic phase of a flex pager receives only a magnetic phase message for each address. It relates to a message receiving method.

FLEX high-speed wireless calling protocol (hereinafter referred to as 'flex-based paging protocol') has been standardized according to the desire of wireless calling service providers who want more channel capacity. One of the features of the flex-based paging protocol is that the pager is automatically adapted to changes in the system even if the system upgrades the transmission speed from 1600 bps to 3200 bps, 6400 bps, etc., depending on the number of subscribers. The system using the current flex method starts service at a low speed of 1600 bps or 3200 bps, but most flex systems in Korea and the US will upgrade the service to 6400 bps. This is essentially a change that results in a rapid increase in communication speed.

On the other hand, according to the regulations defined in the flex-based paging protocol, since 6400bps is divided into four phases of a, b, c, d for each pager-specific address capcode number, a terminal unique identifier that can be used in an actual system is an address number. It can be used up to four times per one. That is, 1600bps has a phase in one, 3200bps has two phases in a, c, and 6400bps has four phases in a, b, c, d, and the decoder sends the bps information. In the 3200bps, if the magnetic phase is a, b, only accepts the a phase, c, d, only the c phase, and at 6400bps, a, b, c, d phase to distinguish only the magnetic phase If so, the subscribers of the same address can be expanded up to four times.

However, since the core component analyzing the FLEX signal inside the pager terminal does not send the bps information of the decoder or the current system, the phase information a, b, c, d cannot be used as a unique identifier at this time. Therefore, even though the current flex-type paging protocol environment can accommodate up to 4 times the subscriber, there is a problem in that it can not accommodate.

In other words, even countries and manufacturers that use the flex method do not provide services by classifying phases by address. However, for example, when using a National Wide Pager such as the United States; Since the service provider uses the same frequency for each area spaced apart by a certain distance, if the area using the same frequency is called region A and region B, and the pager subscriber receiving the service from region A moves to region B, another message is sent. There was a problem receiving.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a self-phase message reception method of a flex type pager that receives only a message corresponding to a magnetic phase by separating phases by address in the case of a 6400bps flex pager to solve the above problem.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for receiving a self-phase message of a flex type pager, the method comprising: pre-registering a magnetic phase according to a phase-specific option mode in the pager, and address information of a received message when a message is received. Searching for a specified phase value, comparing the received phase information with the registered magnetic phase if the address information specified phase value of the received message is retrieved, and the address information specified phase value and the magnetic phase of the received message are different from each other. It is characterized in that the process of allowing the received message only if it matches.

FIG. 2 is a control flowchart for receiving only a magnetic phase message in a FLEX type pager providing a phase-specific option according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention, such as specific processing flows. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. Detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that are determined to unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

First, the configuration of the flex type pager according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

The RF receiver 10 receives radio call information and performs functions of frequency conversion, demodulation, and waveform shaping. Accordingly, the output of the RF receiver 10 becomes radio call information converted into digital data, and the output of the RF receiver 10 is applied to the decoder 20.

The decoder 20 sets the active mode of the pager by decoding the received data, retrieves the field data, and outputs the field data to the controller 50.

The memory 30 includes an area for storing numbers generated during program execution, and for a text pager, an area for storing letters and numbers, and a PERSONAL CALL message and MAILDROP message. It has an area for storing.

The EEPROM 40 has magnetic phase information according to the option mode for each phase according to the present invention as shown in Table 1 below.

Specified phase value Phase Setting status 0 a One One b 0 2 c 0 3 d 0

Table 1 indicates that the phase-specific option mode stored in the EEPROM according to the present invention is set, and when the phase-specific option mode is the "single" mode, the magnetic phase is set to phase a. When the service speed of the system is 6400bps, the pager is registered and used in one of four different phases of the same address. This is stored using RF or wired (RS232C) on the PPS option during the pager process. In this way, the pager accepts messages only when it is in a registered phase even if the address is the same from the factory. At this time, the magnetic phase information stored in the EEPROM 40 is used.

The controller 50 processes the received data to control the alarm function and the vibration function, and controls memory management to store the received message in a corresponding management table according to the address index received from the decoder when receiving the message. The controller 50 compares the phase of the received address with the magnetic phase registered in the EEPROM 40 when the option mode for each phase is set (when it is 6400bps). do.

The display unit 60 displays the message of the caller and the status information of the pager by the display control signal output from the controller 50, and displays the personal information corresponding to the telephone number received by the control of the controller 50. A display area is provided.

The alarm unit 70 generates an alarm signal such as a tone signal or a vibration signal for notifying that the alarm signal has been called by the alarm control signal output from the controller 50.

The key input unit 80 inputs a predetermined key when searching for a received message.

FIG. 2 is a control flowchart for receiving only a magnetic phase message in a FLEX type pager providing a phase-specific option function according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, in step 201, when the controller 50 detects reception of a message (here, the message means 'calling information data') through the decoder 20, the controller 50 proceeds to step 203. In step 203, the controller 50 checks whether the option mode for each phase is set. If the option mode for each phase is set, the controller 50 proceeds to step 207. If the option mode for each phase is not set, the controller 50 proceeds to step 205. Proceed with the message receiving process.

In step 207 and 221, the controller 50 proceeds to step 207 to determine whether the option mode for each phase is a "single" mode or an "all" mode. Here, the "single" mode refers to a case where the magnetic phase is designated as one of four phases a, b, c, and d, and the "all" mode is a message of the same address regardless of the a, b, c and d phase classification. Say a mode that accepts all.

When the option mode is the “all” mode, the controller 50 proceeds to step 213 to allow all received messages regardless of phase to perform message receiving processing such as message information display and alarm.

If the option mode corresponds to the "single" mode in step 207, the controller 50 searches for address information (phase frame data or a specified phase value) of the received message in step 209. This is performed by the controller 50 of Table 1 checking the specified phase value of the received message. When the specified phase value of the received message is found, the controller 50 proceeds to step 211 and checks whether the magnetic phase information previously registered in the EEPROM 40 and the specified phase value of the retrieved received message match. At this time, the self-phase information confirmation of the controller 50 determines that the self-phase information is set to, for example, "1" as shown in Table 1 above. In this way, when the magnetic phase shown in Table 1 is determined, "phase a" whose setting state is "1" becomes a magnetic phase.

In step 211, if the specified phase value of the received message matches the pre-registered magnetic phase, the controller 50 proceeds to step 213 to allow the received message to perform a message reception process (display indicating the message reception is performed on the display unit 60). And generating a designated alarm for notifying the reception of the message to the alarm unit 70).

However, in step 211, if the specified phase value of the received message is inconsistent with the pre-registered magnetic phase, the controller 50 proceeds to step 215 and determines that the received message is not its own message. That is, the received message is discarded and the received message processing procedure as shown in 213 is not performed.

As described above, the present invention sets a self-phase of one of a, b, c, d by setting an option mode for each phase in a 6400bps service on a flex type pager, and retrieves a specified phase value of phase frame data upon receiving a message. In this regard, the present invention relates to a method of allowing a received message if it matches its own phase and disabling the received message if it does not match.

Meanwhile, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the scope of the following claims, but also by the equivalents of the claims.

As described above, in the case of the 6400bps flex pager, since the phase is classified by address, only the message corresponding to the self phase is received, so that the pager subscriber rarely receives another person's message, and the service provider receives the subscriber. It can be extended up to 4 times.
