- the portable receiver furthermore comprises a transmitter of sound signals, the central unit being provided to allow a user to select a number contained in the directory, by means of the keyboard, and to cause the transmitter of sound signals to transmit a series of elementary sound signals which respectively correspond, in a numbering system called "voice frequency", to the different digits of the selected number; this number can in particular be a telephone number proper, a fax number, or a personal paging number specific to a correspondent when the dialing of this number on a telephone keypad results in a telephone call to an operator of a station. transmitting paging in order to transmit a radio message to the paging receiver of said correspondent;
- the portable receiver further includes a connec ⁇ tor which is connected to the central unit and which allows the connection of an external printer, the central unit being provided for printing by this printer of data stored in the directory.
- the invention also relates to a method for storing data in the directory of a portable paging receiver as defined above which receives radio messages from at least one transmitting station, this method comprising the following steps: a) transmitting to the transmitting station data to be stored in the directory of the paging receiver, b) and cause the transmitting station to transmit a radio download message intended to feed the directory of this paging receiver.
- this method use is also made of one and / or the other of the following arrangements:
- the transmitting station is at least partially controlled by a human operator, step a) consisting of telephoning this human operator to indicate the identification of the receiver in the directory from which it is desired to store data, as well as the data to store in this directory: in this way, creating or modifying the directory presents no difficulty for the user of the receiver;
- the download message comprises at least one predetermined series of characters recognizable by the central unit of the receiver;
- the download message is integrated into a message intended to be displayed on the screen of the portable receiver, which can possibly allow a progressive enrichment of the directory as and when messages received from various correspondents when these messages include download messages which contain data relating to these correspondents.
- FIG. 1 is a view of an example receiver portable paging device according to the invention
- FIG. 1 is an example of a functional diagram of the receiver of Figure 1, in its environment.
- the unidirectional paging receiver consists of a portable box 1 such as that shown in FIG. 1, which is designed to receive coded radio messages transmitted by a remote transmitting station (FIG. 2), the coding of the radio messages that can be produced, for example, in accordance with the ER ES standard (EEC Directives 85/374 and 92/59, ETS standard 300.133-1 to -7 issued by the European Telecommunications Standard Institute).
- This case has a reduced size, for example of the order of a few centimeters in its largest dimension, so that it can be held in one hand.
- the box 1 includes a screen 2 for displaying all or part of the messages received over the air which are intended for said box, and a keyboard 3 which in particular makes it possible to control the display of these messages, their erasure, etc.
- Keyboard 3 is always a simplified keyboard with a few keys, the number of keys being in all cases strictly less than ten and in the majority of cases strictly less than six.
- the keyboard 3 has four keys, namely:
- buttons 3a, 3b making it possible in particular to move a cursor in menus which are displayed on the screen 2
- a selection key 3c in particular for selecting an option from a menu displayed on the screen 2
- FIG. 2 shows in particular a block diagram of the receiver unit 1 which conventionally comprises:
- an amplifier 5 connected to the antenna 4 to amplify the signals received by the antenna 4,
- a demodulator 6 connected to the output of the amplifier 5 to demodulate the amplified signals coming from this amplifier
- an electronic central unit 7 generally constituted by a microprocessor, connected to the output of the demodulator 6 to receive, decode and process the demodulated signals coming from the demodulator 6, the central unit 7 being connected to the screen 2 and to the keyboard 3,
- a memory 8 connected to the central unit 7, or possibly integrated therein,
- a miniature loudspeaker 9 connected to the central unit 7, and provided at least for emitting an audible alert signal each time the central unit 7 receives a radio message which is intended for the receiver unit 1 considered.
- the receiver unit 1 can also comprise an external connector 10 which allows the connection of a printer 11 via a complementary connector 12.
- the memory 8 includes a directory 8a forming a database which is presented under the form of a list of names of correspondents to whom at least one telephone number is assigned, and possibly an address, an additional telephone number assigned to a correspondent's fax machine, a personal paging number assigned to a paging receiver correspondent, etc.
- the central unit 7 is programmed to recognize, among the messages which are intended for the box 1 and which are received by the antenna 4, specific messages, known as download messages, which include data intended to be stored in the directory 8a.
- download messages can for example be recognized by the central processing unit 7 by means of predetermined character strings which are included in these messages.
- a download message may take the following form:
- the central unit 7 would store in the directory the name "DUPONT” among the correspondents, at the address "83 rue d'Amsterdam 75009 PARIS", with the telephone number "40.72.20.33”, and with the fax number "40.72.20.34".
- the start of the download message is marked with the sequence "aaa”
- the end of the download message is marked with the sequence "***”
- the start of the correspondent's name is marked with the sequence "bbb”
- the beginning of the correspondent's address is marked by the sequence "ccc”
- the beginning of the correspondent's telephone number is marked by the sequence "ddd”
- the beginning of the correspondent's fax number is marked by the sequence "eee ".
- the download messages which arrive at the receiver unit 1 may concern one or more correspondents, and they may possibly be included inside a message intended to be displayed on the screen 2 of the unit.
- a correspondent can thus ask the wearer of the unit to call him back, at the same time as he enters his name and telephone number in the directory of the unit receiver.

- the central unit 7 the central unit 7:
- DUPONT 40.72.20.33 on screen 2, without displaying the sequences of characters" aaa “,” bbb “,” ddd “and” *** "which make it possible to locate and identify the download message and its content.
- the directory 8a is enriched as messages are received from various correspondents.
- the transmission of download messages to the receiver unit 1, like the transmission of all other messages, can conventionally be requested: - either directly to the transmitting station 20, by connecting to this station a microcomputer 31 or similar by means of the '' through the switched telephone network 30,
- the user can call up a menu on screen 2 by pressing the 3d button, then choose in this menu a "DIRECTORY" function by positioning a cursor on the corresponding option of this menu using the arrow keys 3a and 3b, then confirm this option using the 3c key, then for example scroll through the names of correspondents and the data relating to these correspondents using the direction keys 3a and 3b, until you have found the desired correspondent.
- a "DIRECTORY" function by positioning a cursor on the corresponding option of this menu using the arrow keys 3a and 3b, then confirm this option using the 3c key, then for example scroll through the names of correspondents and the data relating to these correspondents using the direction keys 3a and 3b, until you have found the desired correspondent.
- this correspondent can be deleted from the directory 8a by the user, for example by following the sequence indicated above then by selecting with the keyboard 3 a "DELETE" function in a menu displayed on the screen 2.
- the central processing unit 7 can be programmed so that the user can select from the directory 8a, using the keypad 3, a corresponding number:
- the central unit 7 is then programmed so that, this selection being made, the user can trigger, for example by pressing the validation key 3c, the emission by the loudspeaker 9 of a series of signals elementary sound whose frequencies correspond respectively, in a numbering system called "in voice frequency "specific to the switched telephone network 30, to the various digits of the selected number.
- voice frequency numbering system is meant a numbering system in which the dialing of a number on a telephone keypad causes the transmission in the switched telephone network 30 of a series of signals which correspond respectively to the different digits of the number dialed and which have frequencies such that acoustic signals of the same frequency correspond to sound signals.
- voice frequency numbering system used will generally be the so-called “DTMF” system (Dual Tone Multifrequency), in which each elementary sound signal has two superimposed frequencies.
- the receiver unit 1 has an external connector 10
