Abstract
The power saving method of wireless pager uses the switch control supplied by a battery power source to restrain the power consumption of the battery. The method includes a step to recover the battery voltage by extending the power-off state of battery's power supply when the battery voltage is dropped to a pre-determined voltage. A wireless paging receiver, which comprises a receiving loop and a controlling loop, uses the pre-determined cycle in implementing the switch controller of the receiving loop battery's power supply to control the power consumption of the battery's power voltage. The controlling loop is equipped with a level detection loop that compares the voltage of the battery's power voltage with a pre-determined reference voltage, and a counter, which is controlled by the output of the reference detection loop. When the battery voltage is higher than the pre-determined reference voltage, it will calculate a normal switch-off state period to restrict the power assumption. When the battery voltage is lower than the pre-determined reference voltage, it will calculate an extending switch-off state period.
Description
The present invention relates to battery power conservation, particularly relate to a kind of method for saving electricity, of cell that the radio paging receiver of high-precision cell voltage demonstration and scan operation can be provided.
In the last few years, the demand of radio paging receiver (beep-pager) is increased sharply, following various services also grow up." multizone service " also be these the service in a kind of.In this service,, even allow a beep-pager to receive in many coverages although the receiver frequency is different usually in the coverage.
Just support the receiver of this service, each regional information is called ' scanning directory ', and for example the receiver frequency is registered in advance.When energized or when carrying out range searching, receiver carries out single pass, receiving current receivable zone continuously based on this scanning directory, thereby determines the receiver frequency on the current location.In this service, the number of frequencies that will register in the scanning directory can be more than 20 or 20.
In addition, in the nearest receiver of supporting the multizone service, the scanning beep-pager has become main flow, and this scanning beep-pager uses scanning system to determine that the existence of given field intensity is so that scan many frequencies apace.In this system, to compare with signal search in the traditional pattern matching system, field strength measurement itself can be carried out fast.For example, with regard to domestic FLEX_TD system, can be reduced to about 300ms the sweep time that last system carries out each frequency, and then a system is about sweep time of carrying out each frequency 2sec.
On the other hand, the miniaturization and the lightness of beep-pager constantly make progress recently, and be following, uses the beep-pager of the little lightweight air cell of volume (air battery) to increase.
Yet air cell has following characteristic: when battery was applied in the load of electrical source consumption type continuously and makes cell voltage get back to normal value once more when removing load, voltage reduced gradually, but it does not reach the terminal point in useful life but be temporary.Therefore, under the situation of the tradition scanning beep-pager that uses air cell, when sector scanning begins, cell voltage reduces behind circuit operation, and for example alarm and vibration function need consume the very large energy of beep-pager, because receiving unit continuous operation under the bigger situation of electrical source consumption, there is a problem, reception can not normally be carried out, and perhaps the display operation of pilot cell replacing takes place mistakenly, and does not consider the just temporary transient reduction of cell voltage.In addition, in field intensity detection type scanning beep-pager, exist the problem of the error result that may export the field intensity detection especially.
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of method for saving electricity, of cell of radio pager, this method can suppress the electrical source consumption of battery supply and prevent to receive in faulty operation.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of method for saving electricity, of cell of radio paging receiver, and this method can prevent that display from showing battery altering mistakenly.
A further object of the present invention provides a kind of radio paging receiver of the faulty operation that can suppress the electrical source consumption of battery supply and can prevent to receive.
Another purpose of the present invention provides a kind of display that can prevent and shows the radio paging receiver of battery altering mistakenly.
According to the present invention, the electrical source consumption that makes battery supply is controlled the method for saving electricity, of cell of the radio paging receiver that suppresses through the on/off of battery supply, may further comprise the steps:
When battery supply is reduced to predetermined voltage when following,, the blocking interval of battery supply recovers cell voltage during certain by being prolonged.

Fig. 1 is the block diagram that shows the method for saving electricity, of cell of radio paging receiver in the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The receiving circuit of this embodiment comprises: the wireless signal that antenna 101 and receiving unit 102, receiving unit 102 amplify, decoding is received by antenna 101 is output decoder signal b then.Receiving unit 102 has the built-in combiner circuit that can receive the decode a plurality of different frequencies.In addition, in the regeneration time clock that generates the data of from the reference clock of oscillating circuit (not shown) and decoded signal b, sampling, 103 pairs of decoded signal b decodings of decoder.In addition, decoder 103 is carried out the sign indicating number type detecting operation of the synchronizing signal that transmits, its detecting operation of address and the storage of decoding reception data, then the reception data is sent to CPU 104 as signal c.
EEPROM 107 is the receiver address information of storage receiver or the memory of scanning directory.
Level determine latch means 110 as a result convert in on-state (RXON) from receiving unit 102 receiving unit 102 off state (RXOFF) during, determine the output signal p of device 109 by the battery power conservation signal i latch level of CPU104 output.
In addition, determine the output signal k of latch means 110 as a result according to level, first and second counting devices 111,112 are allowed to operation/quiescing.When signal k was low level, first counting device 111 was allowed to operation, the operation that is under an embargo of second counting device 112.In contrast, when signal k is high level, the operation that is under an embargo of first counting device 111, second counting device 112 is allowed to operation.Two counters are counted in the operation enable state, signal that increases progressively count signal 1 and signal m when the output conduct reaches predetermined count value respectively.
Signal selecting 113 is selected the signal 1 of input 1,2, any among the m according to the logic state of signal k, and exports as output signal o.Signal m when the signal 1 when first counting device 111 is allowed to operate or second counting device 112 are allowed to operate outputs to CPU104 as output signal o from signal selecting 113.
CPU104 determines off state time (time is up) of receiving unit 102 according to the rear end of the output pulse of signal selecting 113, operation is converted to the on-state (on-state of signal i) of receiving unit 102 from the off state of receiving unit 102.In addition, CPU104 determines during the on-state of receiving unit 102, and after certain hour, for example after the 2sec, generates the cut-off signals of battery power conservation signal i for the off state of receiving unit 102.
LVA the level of each off state of definite device 114 detection receiving units 102 occurs and determines that k is a LVA level or lower as a result, perhaps be not the LVA level, and the detection of definite LVA level continues to carry out by pre-determined number.For example, when three LVA of continuous detecting, LVA occurs determining that device 114 sends to CPU104 to the LAV notice request by signal n, and CPU104 the user of LVA notice beep-pager, provides the replacing of battery by notifying device 106 then, stops to receive operation.
Fig. 2 is the block diagram of an example of structure that shows first and second counting devices 111,112 of present embodiment.Because except that the count value of each device set, first and second counting devices 111,112 are identical, therefore with instance interpretation first counting device 111.
For signal K, output " 0 " when detecting the non-LVA level that is higher than low-voltage alarm level, output " 1 " when detecting LVA.In addition, enter the signal i of on/off state for the power supply of control receiving unit 102, when control receiving unit 102 enters on-state, output " 1 ", when control receiving unit 102 enters off state, output " 0 ".
Use the sequential chart of Fig. 3 to explain the operational circumstances of embodiment shown in Figure 1 below, here, consistent among employed label and Fig. 1.
Be used for the time counter of the off state of receiving unit 102 during first counting device, 111 right and wrong LVA among Fig. 1, second counting device 112 is used for the time counter of the off state of receiving unit 102 when being LVA.Signal i is the signal of the power supply on/off of battery power conservation signal and control receiving unit 102.The on-state of the high level indication receiving unit 102 of signal i, and the off state of low level indication receiving unit 102.The time of the on-state of receiving unit 102 is set to 2sec, and its off state time is set to 40ms.The time of signal j pilot cell voltage shifts.The dotted line of being represented by th is the threshold level (LVA determines level) of cell voltage, and here th is set to 1.1V.Signal p is the output that level is determined device 109, and on behalf of cell voltage, low level be higher than LVA to determine level voltage, and on behalf of cell voltage, high level be lower than LVA to determine level voltage.Signal k is the output of latching at the decline edge of battery power conservation signal i signal p.
The counting of the off state time of receiving unit 102 finishes pulse during signal 1 right and wrong LVA, and the counting of the off state time of receiving unit 102 finished pulse when signal m was LVA.The off state time of receiving unit 102 is set to 40ms during non-LVA, and during LVA the off state time of receiving unit 102 be set to 10sec.Signal o is the output that the counting that is used for first and second counting devices 111,112 finishes the signal selecting 113 of pulse.
Fig. 3 shows a kind of like this situation: cell voltage reduces because of using vibration function before time t30; Scanning is from t30.Because scan operation begins cell voltage and further reduces, and is reduced to below the threshold level at time t33, thereby makes signal p be transformed into high level.Reach on the time t35 of off state at receiving unit 102 then, the high level of signal p is determined that by level latch means 110 latchs and make signal k to reach high level output as a result.
Because signal k is low level before time t35, therefore at time t31, the off state time counting of t32 and 111 pairs of receiving units 102 of t34 first counting device, i.e. 40ms, and make count end signal 1 become signal o, thus notice CPU counting is finished.When signal k became high level, be under an embargo operation and second counting device 112 of first counting device 111 was allowed to operate.Then, when battery power conservation signal i became low level, the off state time that counting operation begins to guarantee receiving unit 102 was 10 seconds.
When second counting device 112 generated counting end pulse m after time t34+10sec, signal selecting 113 was selected signal m according to signal k and is exported as signal o, thereby notice CPU104 counting is finished.After this, CPU104 begins to handle the on-state that gives receiving unit 102, and making signal i is high level.
At the off state time durations of the receiving unit 102 of (t35+10sec) from time t35 to the time, load is reduced, thereby has reduced electrical source consumption, therefore represents the signal j of the voltage level of power-supply battery to surpass threshold level.So, when after this continuing this processing, can carry out scan operation.In addition, LVA occurs determining device 114 discontinuous detection LVA level three times during this, and can avoid producing wrong alarm, and LVA takes place to determine that the result obtains the signal n of high level.
Fig. 4 is the sequential chart of conventional method.Also in conventional method, be provided with first counting device and CPU, CPU carries out the on/off control of the power supply of receiving unit by the output battery power conservation signal i identical with present embodiment.Yet,, therefore, generate the on-state of battery power conservation signal i continuously because the corresponding function of second counter etc. is not provided.So, occur determining the signal n of device output behind continuous detecting LVA level three times according to LAV, CPU provides the battery power conservation signal i of off state, stops to receive operation.
Thereby in conventional method, the situation shown in the image pattern 3 is such, and before time t40, cell voltage reduces because of using vibration function, and if scan since time t40, then cell voltage is lowered to below the threshold voltage at time t41.Yet because scanning is not stopped, the LVA level is transformed into position A, the B of off state and C by continuous detecting three times at receiving unit 102 from on-state successively.So, when supply voltage is unrecovered, by LVA device appears determining, stop to receive operation and generate the low-voltage alarm at time t43.
Fig. 5 is the block diagram that shows another preferred embodiment of the present invention.Compare with the embodiment among Fig. 1, this embodiment forms like this: be provided with a counting device, level determines that k is input to CPU as a result, and the selection of the off state time of the receiving unit when LVA and non-LVA is by software control.
The 511st, counting device, wherein with Fig. 2 in the comparator corresponding components be configured register, its comparison value can have CPU504 to be provided with.Thereby it can be counted variable value.
When the receiving unit on-state converts off state to, determine the output of latch means 510 as a result according to level, CPU504 sets the count value of the off state time of definite receiving unit into counting device 511.In the time that the CPU504 value of setting is increased progressively counting, counting device 511 is exported the count end signal 1 that is used for signal s to CPU504, the off state time of notice CPU receiving unit.That is, the count value of counting device, the 10sec when 40ms during for example non-LVA and LVA is provided with by CPU504.
Fig. 6 is the flow chart that shows the operation of CPU504 in the present embodiment.
The off state (RXOFF) that is transformed into low level receiving unit from high level at battery power conservation signal i is (step S1) afterwards, determine that as level the output signal k of the logic state of latch means 510 is read out (step S2) as a result, determine that cell voltage is also right and wrong LVA (step S3) of LVA level.
When signal k is low level, counting device 510 is provided with the off state time (step S4) of the count value of 40ms as receiving unit.When signal k is high level, the count value (step S5) of 10sec is set.Be provided with after the count value, counting operation is allowed to (step S6).Use finish (the step S7) that distinguishes counting from the signal 1 of counting device 511, then, the off state time of receiving unit finishes, and carries out the processing (step S8) of the on-state that enters receiving unit.
In the present embodiment, because CPU is provided with count value, two counting devices can be merged into a unit.In addition, counting device also is used to count during the on-state of receiving unit during not only being used to count the off state of receiving unit.Therefore, when CPU carries out battery power conservation control, can be used as universal counter, the present invention need not increase circuit scale and just can implement.
In addition, be configured when CPU is provided with from data that EEPROM reads and when receiver, make that the content of EEPROM can be fashionable from external write, count value can be from outer setting.
Advantage of the present invention:
In wireless receiving beep-pager of the present invention, when the voltage of battery supply dropped to low pressure warning detection level, the supply of power supply was supspended, and need also be ended than the frequency scanning operation of large power supply consumption.Thereby can suppress battery consumption, therefore temporarily-depressed battery voltage can be got back to normal level.
Thereby, in the present invention, when cell voltage reduces, the cell voltage that receiving circuit is supplied with is supspended, recover to wait for cell voltage.Therefore, can avoid the mistake that causes because of the temporary reduction of cell voltage to receive the fault alarm of operation and low-voltage.
In the radio paging receiver that particularly in multizone, uses, add that the scan operation of electrical source consumption type load can be supspended with receive frequency scanning search function.Therefore, the present invention can prevent that cell voltage from reducing state and being characterized as the situation generation that battery life finishes to notify mistakenly then the low-voltage alarm by mistake.
In addition, owing to promptly supspend scanning when the reduction of cell voltage is detected, the therefore unreliable scan operation under temporary low-voltage can be avoided carrying out as the faulty operation that field intensity detects.Thereby the reliability of scan operation can be guaranteed.
Although the present invention has carried out clear, complete explanation to specific embodiment, but claim is not limited, and claim can be interpreted as comprising contingent to one skilled in the art all distortion and the alternative structure that falls in the basic theory scope of the present invention.
