DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a method for transmitting and receiving PHS data according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a CT data format stored in a data storage area on a transmitting side in a PHS for describing a first embodiment according to the present invention. FIG.
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing divided transmission data for explaining a situation in which a CT data format is divided and transmitted and received.

First, a description will be given with reference to FIGS. As data for transmission / reception applied to the first embodiment, the melody to be transmitted / received is up to 6 in CT.
By dividing the melody of four sounds into 18 bytes, melody can be transmitted and received instead of text messages. In order to attach melody data of up to 64 sounds to the destination sub address area of up to 20 bytes, it is necessary to divide and store the melody data.

FIG. 1 shows this state. As shown in FIG. 1, a destination number 10a is assigned to a destination sub-address area 10 of a predetermined byte in the destination sub-address area of the call setting information. , The destination sub-address area 11a-1 of up to 20 bytes
1n contains melody data of up to 64 sounds each
It is divided and stored for each byte. This one
Dividing every 8 bytes is the destination sub address area 1
Since 1a to 11n each have a maximum of 20 bytes, in addition to storing the divided melody data within the maximum of 20 bytes, it is necessary to insert various codes such as a continuation code and an end code described later. It is 18 bytes for use.

As described above, the melody data of a maximum of 64 sounds needs to be divided into 18 bytes and stored in the destination sub-address areas 11a to 11n of a maximum of 20 bytes. When storing the data 12a to 12n, the data to be stored includes the start of data, the continuation of data, the end of data,
Whether it is melody data or text message data
Each must be determined. Therefore, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, every first to n-th, that is, for each melody data stored in the destination sub-address areas 11a to 11n, in other words,
For each melody data transmitted and received for each of the destination sub address areas 11a to 11n, the destination sub address area 11a
11n store codes for the above determination.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, first, taking the destination sub-address area 11a as an example, in the data storage area on the transmitting side, although not shown in an area other than the destination sub-address area 11a, "CT A selection data code for selecting “transmission”, “character message transmission”, and “melody transmission” is stored. When performing melody transmission, this selection data code is inserted.

A start code 13a is set in the first byte at the head of the destination sub-address area 11a, and then melody data 13b to 13n of 18 bytes are sequentially stored. The melody data 13b to 13g are
The original melody data of the sender, the melody intended by the sender may be a known melody,
Alternatively, the melody may be composed independently by the sender, and the melody may be of any type. If there is a melody that continues after the melody data 13g, a 1-byte continuation code 13h indicating that the melody data exists after the melody data 13g is assigned and stored. Thus, the destination sub-address area 11a
, The start code 13a, the melody data 13b to 13g, and the continuation code 13h of the data stored in
The first transmission data is transmitted from the transmitting side.

In the same manner, the melody data is assigned to the destination sub-address areas 11b to 11n and stored.
In the first embodiment, since the melody data is continuously transmitted and received n times until the nth time after the end of the first transmitted / received data, the second transmitted / received data, that is, Since the first continuation code stored in the destination sub-address area 11b, the melody data and the continuation code following the end of the melody data are transmitted, the continuation code is stored in the first area in the destination sub-address area 11b, and the last area is stored in the last area. Also sub address area 1
The continuation code is stored as in the case of 1a.

Similarly, in the case of the destination sub-address area 11n, the continuation code 14a is stored in the first area, followed by the melody data 14b to 14g, and the melody data of the destination sub-address area 11n. Is the n-th (final) transmission / reception data, and there is no continuous melody data after the transmission / reception of the melody data 14g. Therefore, an end code 14h is stored after the melody data 14g. By transmitting and receiving the end code, the transmitting side and the receiving side can recognize that a series of transmission and reception stored in the destination sub-address areas 11a to 11n has been completed.

Next, FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a procedure for transmitting data of CT on the transmitting side, FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a procedure for receiving CT data, and FIG. 5 to FIG. The operation will be described with reference to a transmission-side display transition diagram showing a change in the display content of FIG. 9) and a reception-side display transition diagram showing a change in the display content of the reception-side display means (such as a liquid crystal display) in FIGS.

The first receiving display field 16a is blacked out,
The first melody data 12a (13b to 13b in FIG. 2)
13n) is being received by the receiving side (step B3 in FIG. 4).

In this manner, when the first transmission / reception of the melody data 12a is completed and the continuation code 13h is transmitted, the melody data 12a is stored in the second destination address area 11bn on the transmission side and the reception side, respectively. Automatically recognizes that the melody data 12b is transmitted and received,
The second transmission of the melody data 12b is performed (step A3 in FIG. 3), and the melody data 12b is received on the receiving side. Hereinafter, similarly, from the second melody data 12b to the n-th melody data
Every time the melody data 12b to 12n-1 of the destination sub-address area is sequentially transmitted up to the -1st (14th), as shown in FIG. 7, the transmitting display fields 15b to 15n-1 of the transmission side display means 15 as shown in FIG. Until (15i), it is sequentially filled with black, and the second melody data 12b is currently

At the same time, the receiving side display means 16 also corresponds to the display contents of the transmitting side display means 15 in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the receiving display fields 16b to 16n-1 (1
6i) are sequentially filled in black, indicating that the melody data 12b to 12n-1 from the second melody data 12b to the (n-1) th melody data are currently being received (step B3 in FIG. 4). ). Next, the continuation code of the melody data 12n-1 up to the (n-1) th time is transmitted, the transmission of the melody data 12n-1 ends, and prior to the fifteenth transmission of the last melody data 12n, FIG. The continuation code 14a shown in FIG. 2 is transmitted, so that the receiving side also receives the continuation code, and the melody data 12n of the last time, that is, the melody data 14b to
14g is transmitted (step A4 in FIG. 3).

When the transmission of the melody data 14b to 14h is completed and the transmission of the end code 14h is completed,
The transmission of the series of melody data from the first time to the n-th time (the fifteenth time) is completed (step A4 in FIG. 3). Along with this, as shown in FIG. 8, the transmitting display field 15j of the transmitting side display means 15 is also painted black, and the transmitting side display means 1
For the display content of No. 5, a transmission completion display is performed (step A5 in FIG. 3). Thus, the last melody data 1
2n, that is, in response to the transmission of the melody data 14b to 14g, when the receiving side receives the melody data 14b to 14g and receives the end code 14h, as shown in FIG. Then, it is displayed that the reception of the series of melody data 12a to 12n from the first time to the 15nth time (the 15th time) is completed (step B4 in FIG. 4).

The received series of melody data 12a to 12n of the first to 15nth times are sequentially stored in the data storage area (not shown) of the receiving side for each reception, and as described above, the process ends. When the chord 14h is received, the performance of the melody based on the first to 15nth melody data 12a to 12n is automatically started (step B5 in FIG. 4). In this manner, in the first embodiment, the melody can be transmitted and received by CT and the PH
Simply purchase S and do not make any other contracts.
You can send and receive melodies.

The first embodiment is an example in which a relatively long melody is transmitted and received, and a case in which the first to fifteenth melody is divided for transmission and reception. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the destination sub address areas 11a-1
Each of the melody data 12a to 12n stored in 1n may be a separate melody, and in the case of a single melody data, a start code is assigned to one byte of the first area for each destination sub-address area 11a to 11n. An end code is assigned to the 20th byte, and melody data is assigned and stored between the start code and the end code.

By doing so, for example, when transmitting and receiving the melody data 12a stored in the destination sub-address area 11a, the transmitting side display means 15 "CT transmission" is performed on the transmitting side in the same manner as described above. Is selected, and as shown in FIG.
T melody "is displayed and the destination sub-address area 11a is displayed.
Of the melody data 13
The transmission of b to 13g is started, the transmitting display field 15a is painted black, and it is displayed that 13b to 13g currently stored in the destination subaddress area 11a is being transmitted (step A1 in FIG. 3). In response to this transmission state, on the receiving side, the receiving side display means 16 changes from the "standby" state of FIG. 9 (step B1 of FIG. 4) to "C" as shown in FIG.
The "T melody incoming" state is displayed (step B2 in FIG. 4), and the receiving display field 16a is painted black to indicate that the melody data 13b to 13n of the currently received subaddress area 11a is being received (FIG. 4). Step B3).

Next, when the transmission side transmits the end code, the transmission of the melody data 12a stored in the destination sub-address area 11a ends, and the transmission display field 15a of the transmission side display means 15 turns white. The sender can recognize that the transmission has been completed (step A5 in FIG. 3). On the other hand, when the receiving side receives this transmission completion code, the receiving side display section 16 of the receiving side display means 16
6a turns white, and the receiver can recognize that the reception is completed (step B4 in FIG. 4). Upon completion of reception, the receiving side receives the melody data 1
The first received melody is played based on 3b to 13g (step B5 in FIG. 4).

The second to n-th independent melody data transmission / reception of the incoming subaddress areas 11b to 11n can be performed in exactly the same manner as the first melody data transmission / reception. As described above, in the first embodiment, it is possible to transmit and receive the CT melody, and also to transmit and receive the CT melody without purchasing another contract by simply purchasing the PHS.

It should be noted that in either the case where the melody data transmission / reception is continuously performed from the first time to the n-th time, or in the case where a single melody data is transmitted / received each time, what percentage is transmitted during transmission. Can be displayed on the transmission side display means 15, and the reception side display means 1
Also in FIG. 6, it is possible to display what percentage is being received while the melody data is being received.

When transmission is completed, that is, 10
When 0% is received, "reception complete" is displayed and the melody data is reproduced when the melody data transmission / reception is continuously performed from the first time to the n-th time, or
The same applies to both cases of transmitting and receiving a single melody data each time. After the display of "reception complete", the reception side display means 16 returns to the "standby" state when the melody data is continuously transmitted and received from the first time to the n-th time, or a single time for each time. It is common in both cases of transmitting and receiving melody data. Further, in the first embodiment, the melody transmission / reception of CT has been described. However, as long as the data format is specified, not only melody and text messages but also data such as data files and pictures can be transmitted / received. it can.

In the above description, the destination sub-address areas 11a to 11n have been described with a maximum of 20 bytes as an example only for convenience of description, but the number of bytes is not particularly limited. , May be an appropriate number. Also, the description has been given assuming that the data for transmission and reception stored in the destination sub-address areas 11a to 11n is 18 bytes at the maximum. However, the data length is set according to the storage capacity of each of the destination sub-address areas 11a to 11n. What is necessary is just to make it fall within the range of the storage capacity.

[0035]

As described above, according to the present invention, PH
When data is transmitted and received in S, data within the capacity is stored in the destination sub-address area of the call setting information of a predetermined byte, and when the data is long, the sub-address area of the plurality of call setting information is divided into a plurality. Then, when the receiving side completes the reception of all data for each data unit, the data is reproduced, so that various data including melody can be transmitted and received by CT,
