TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pager, and more particularly, to a method of displaying a caller's name initials in a pager that enables the caller's name initials to be displayed on the pager's message display.

In general, a pager receives a radio call signal when a radio caller transmits a radio call signal through a public telephone communication network so as to recognize a message of the radio caller. Referring to FIG. 1, when the radio call signal is received through the antenna 2, the radio call signal is amplified by the amplifier 3 and input to the mixer 4, and in the mixer 4, the local oscillator 5 is used. The local oscillation frequency outputted from the mixed signal and the radio call signal amplified and outputted from the amplifier 3 are applied to the bandpass filter 6. The signal passing through the band pass filter 6 becomes an intermediate frequency by the intermediate frequency generator 7 and is applied to the decoder 8. The intermediate frequency inputted to the decoder 8 is decoded, inputted to the central processing unit 12, and after a predetermined processing there, causes the message display unit 14 to display a message transmitted by the radio caller. At this time, a display controller 13 is provided between the central processing unit 12 and the message display unit 14 to connect and connect the two, and to substantially control the message display unit 14. In addition, the central processing unit 12 can read necessary information from the data storage unit 11 (or memory), and in some cases, can record necessary information. In addition, the decoder 8 has a lamp 15 for recognizing the call as light under the control of the central processing unit 12, a speaker 16 for recognizing the call as sound, and a vibration shake to recognize the call. The vibration and vibration motor 17 can be driven via the drive unit 9.

The pager configured as described above is configured according to the POCSAG code method and receives the transmitted data to display the caller's message. Referring to FIG. 2, the bread code is composed of a 576-bit preamble code, a 32-bit sync code SC, and a batch of eight frames. One frame consists of two code words, and this code word consists of 32 bits. That is, the first 1 bit of each codeword represents the message type of the current codeword, the next 20 bits represent data such as the caller's telephone number or the identification number (ID) or command of the pager, and the next 10 bits represent an error. The check is performed, and the last 1 bit represents even parity. When the first 1 bit of the codeword is 0, the next 20 bits indicate data, and when 1, it indicates a recognition number or command.

In general, when a radio call is made, the base station transmits a modulated breading code by using the above-described bread code structure. Only the telephone number of the caller is coded and transmitted. In addition, the recently developed text pager has a function of displaying a character stored in a corresponding memory when the transmitted telephone number matches the telephone number embedded in the central processing unit 12 (FIG. 1). When calling using a phone that is not built in the storage unit 11, there is a problem that cannot provide the identity information of the caller.

The present invention was created to solve the above problems, and provides a caller's name initials display method in a pager that improves the pager's function by displaying the caller's identity information, that is, the caller's name initials. Has its purpose.

In order to achieve the above object, the caller's name initial display method in the pager according to the present invention is a method of displaying the caller's telephone number and name initial in the pager, so that the purchaser's name initials are displayed in addition to the caller's number when the pager is registered. Registering the corresponding number, the purchaser assigning the corresponding number to the caller corresponding to the corresponding number, and the caller receiving the corresponding number is given to the caller when the buyer calls the purchaser. And the step of inputting the corresponding number, and displaying the caller's name initials in addition to the caller's message on the message display unit of the pager when the purchaser's pager receives the caller's call signal. have.

In addition, in the pager of the present invention, the caller's name initials display method, the step of recording the correspondent to the caller's name initials so that the caller's name initials are displayed in addition to the call number when the pager is registered, and the caller calls the buyer Inputting a numeric button of a telephone corresponding to the caller's own name initial alphabet in addition to the caller's message, and when the purchaser's pager receives the caller's call signal, the message display unit of the pager in addition to the caller's message. This feature is characterized by the fact that the name initials are displayed.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the caller's name initial display method in the pager according to the present invention will be described in detail.

First, the caller's name initial display method in the pager according to the present invention may be implemented by the pager configuration shown in FIG.

In order to implement the present invention, a registrant designates a predetermined number, for example, a number from 00 to 99 at the time of registering a pager, designates name initials of people who can call the registrant corresponding to each number, and then The data storage unit 11 shown in FIG. 1 is stored in the memory. Here, the letter corresponding to the name initial is preferably an alphabet letter. For example, if there is a person who can call the registrant, Hong Gil-dong, Kim Chul-soo, Lee Young-hee, etc., Hong Gil-dong, that is, 0 for HGD, Kim Chul-soo, 10 for KCS, and Lee Young-hee, 99 for LYH, It is necessary to keep in mind to remember the number. As shown in the above table, the alphanumeric characters of the callables corresponding to the numeric numbers may be in the following form.

00--HGD

01--ABC (BC)

02--DEF (DIE)

.

10--KCS

.

99--LYH

Alternatively, when the pager is registered, the numeric buttons of the telephone and the alphabetic alphabet are stored in the memory 11 (FIG. 1). For example, the telephone button 01 can be stored in correspondence with the English letter A, the telephone button 02 with the English letter B, and 11 with K. This is shown in the table below.

Accordingly, Hong Gil-dong (HGD) corresponds to the telephone number 08 (07) (04), and Lee Young-hee (LYH) corresponds to the telephone number 16 (11) (19).

As described above, the pager registrant stores the alphabet letter corresponding to the numeric number and the caller's name initial corresponding to the pager's memory 11 through the above process, or the alphabetic alphabet is mapped to the telephone number number. When stored in the memory 11 of the pager, an English letter corresponding to the caller's name initials may be displayed in addition to the caller's message when the call is made. This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. Here, the operation of storing an English letter corresponding to the numeric number and the name initial of the callable person in the pager's memory 11 (figure 1), or the English alphabet of the pager to correspond to the numeric number of the telephone The work of memorizing can be preferably performed by the radio calling service provider.

First, when a caller registered and stored in the memory 11 makes a radio call, the radio call signal is received in step 30 as described above. It is desirable that the caller enter the number after the call message and then press the * or # button on the phone to distinguish between the call message (i.e. phone number) and the number number corresponding to the caller's name initial. . Upon receiving the radio call signal in step 30, the pager checks its own call number, i.e., the identification number code, according to the above-described bread code (steps 31 and 32), and the call number is assigned to the page number assigned to its pager. If there is a match, the data (telephone number) included in the firefox code is received and processed (step 33). Next, check whether the above-mentioned number number is included in the radio call signal received in step 34, and if there is a corresponding number number, in step 36, the memory 11 is searched to read an English letter corresponding to the received number number. The call message and the alphabetic character are displayed on the message display unit 14 of the pager (steps 38 and 39). That is, if a person named Hong Gil-dong (HGD) enters his / her phone number (123-4567), presses the # button or the * button on the phone, and enters the number 0 assigned to him, the message of the pager who has been called wirelessly. [123-4567 HGD] is displayed on the display unit 14. If the above-mentioned numeric number is not included in the radio call signal received in step 34, only the call message is displayed on the message display unit 14 in step 37. That is, when a caller who is not registered in the memory 11, for example, makes a wireless call, only the telephone numbers 987-6543 are displayed on the message display unit 14 of the pager being called.

As another embodiment of the present invention, when the caller makes a wireless call when the English alphabet corresponding to the numeric number of the telephone is stored in the memory 11 (FIG. 1) as shown in the table shown above, as described above, In step 30, a radio call signal is received. At this time, it is preferable that the caller inputs the number after pressing the * or # button on the telephone after inputting the call message to distinguish between the call message (that is, the telephone number) and the number number corresponding to the caller's name initial. . In step 30, upon receiving the radio call signal, the pager checks its own call number, i.e., the identification number code, according to the above-described bread code, and the call number is assigned to the pager. If there is a match, the data (telephone number) included in the firefox code is received and processed (step 33). Next, check whether the above-mentioned number number is included in the radio call signal received in step 34, and if there is a corresponding number number, in step 36, the memory 11 is searched to read an English letter corresponding to the received number number. The call message and the alphabetic character are displayed on the message display unit 14 of the pager (steps 38 and 39). That is, a person named Hong Gil-dong (HGD) enters his phone number (123-4567), and then presses the # button or the * button on the phone, and then the corresponding number number (08) (07) ( 04), [123-4567 HGD] is displayed on the message display unit 14 of the pager which has been called wirelessly. If the above-mentioned numeric number is not included in the radio call signal received in step 34, only the call message is displayed on the message display unit 14 in step 37.

In doing so, the configuration of the cracking cord may be configured as follows. That is, since four bits are required for each number to display one number, a total of ten numbers can be displayed in one frame. Therefore, since the maximum number of digits currently used in the country with the area code is 11 digits (for example, 1234-567-8999), three codewords can be used to display the total 11 digits of the phone number. With the remaining bits, you can specify the numeric number that corresponds to the caller's name initials. Here, if you want to specify more numeric numbers, you can specify the codeword of the cracking code by the desired number.

As described above, the caller's name initial display method in the pager according to the present invention can display not only the caller's call message but also the caller's name initial, thereby providing an advantage of facilitating identification of the caller.
