Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pager and, more particularly, to a wristwatch with a pager function capable of preventing forgetting to carry.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a current pager, an alarm sound is generated in response to a call signal from a telephone, and a telephone number, a message, a reception date and time of a transmission side are displayed on a display unit such as a liquid crystal panel. Has become.

A user of a pager always carries a pager and, when an alarm sounds, calls a displayed telephone number from a nearby public telephone or mobile phone to listen to the business.

[0004]

The pager has a wide service area, is cheaper than a mobile phone and the like, and it is very convenient to receive an incoming call, but it is very convenient. It is a prerequisite, and if you do not carry it, leave it in the car as if you are carrying it, stack it on the back of the bag, temporarily leave the bag and clothes together, If you get away from the neighborhood, it's completely useless.

[0005] With regard to portability, pagers are small and lightweight, and are generally carried in clothes pockets or the like or tied to a belt of pants with a string or the like.

However, when changing clothes, etc.,
You must always move your pager to a new pocket or belt, often forgetting to go out.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and prevents the user from accidentally forgetting to carry it, leaving it in a car, leaving it in a cloakroom, or putting it on the bottom of luggage. The aim is to provide a pager watch that can.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a pager which receives a call signal from a telephone and issues an alarm signal to a holder. The belt is provided for the purpose.

Further, the alarm signal generating means may be a vibrator or a lamp.

[0010]

The pager according to the present invention is a wristwatch with a pager function which is used by being worn on the arm instead of the wristwatch.
Watches are always worn on the wrist as a habit, so if you forget a pager watch, you will immediately notice it. Therefore, it is possible to prevent forgetting to carry with a high probability.

When the alarm signal is a vibration, the vibration is directly felt by the arm, so that the alarm signal can be reliably detected. Further, when the alarm signal is issued by blinking of the lamp, the pager watch is attached to the arm, so that it is very conspicuous and can be prevented from being overlooked.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view showing the appearance of a pager wristwatch of the present invention. The pager watch 10
A liquid crystal panel 12 is provided on the surface of a thin rectangular main body 11. The liquid crystal panel 12 displays a transmission message such as a telephone number sent from the transmission side and the like. In the illustrated embodiment, in addition to the date 12a, a telephone number column 12b indicating the telephone number of the other party, a symbol There are a message column 12c for displaying the converted message, a mode display column 12d for indicating whether the alarm signal is a buzzer or vibration, and the like. Although not shown, it is desirable to provide an antenna display (reception status display) column indicating whether reception is possible or impossible, a battery gauge column indicating remaining battery capacity, and the like.

Normally, the time is displayed at the position of the telephone number 12b of the other party, and the time is always digitally displayed, for example, at 11:00 AM. Switch to phone number display.

Several buttons and switches are provided below the liquid crystal panel 12. Further, a lamp 13 composed of a light emitting diode is provided at the upper right. The lamp 13 is used in place of an alarm sound, and notifies a call by repeatedly blinking in response to a call signal.

The switch 14 is a main switch of the pager wristwatch, and is used to turn on and off the power. This switch 14 is preferably provided in a state recessed from the surface of the main body 11 in order to prevent malfunction.

The mode switching button 15 is used to select whether to transmit a sound as an alarm, notify by vibration, or notify by light when a call signal is received. For example, every time the mode switching button 15 is pressed once, an alarm sounds →
Vibration → light → (sound + vibration) → (vibration + light) → (sound + light) →
(Sound + Vibration + Light) → It switches like a sound. A sound is used as a normal call signal. However, during a meeting or on a train, vibration or light other than sound does not disturb others, so that it can be switched. The volume adjustment button 16 is used to adjust the volume of sound, vibration, and light as an alarm, and has two buttons, a volume up button and a volume down button. The reception operation button 17 is a button for stopping sound, vibration, blinking of light, and the like as an alarm signal generated when a call from the transmission side is received.

In addition to the above configuration, in the pager wristwatch of the present invention, a belt 18 is attached to the main body 11.
This belt 18 is for attaching the main body to the arm like a conventional wristwatch, and various belts for wristwatches can be diverted.

On the upper and lower sides of the main body 11, projections 20 and 21 for attaching the belt 18 are formed. The projection 20 has a through hole, and the projection 21 has a female screw hole. Is inserted, the pin 22 is inserted from the through hole side, and the male screw formed at the tip of the pin 22 is screwed and fixed to the other female screw. The belt 18 is divided into upper and lower parts, and a middle fastener 18a at a lower end is provided.
Is engaged with the clasp 18b provided at the upper end, whereby the pager wristwatch can be fixed to the arm.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the pager wristwatch 10 of the present invention. Reference numeral 31 denotes a CPU for controlling each operation of the pager wristwatch; 32, a memory for storing transmission signals and message signals; 33, a buzzer for generating an alarm sound; and 34, a vibrator for generating an alarm vibration. Other configurations have been described with reference to FIG.

When the pager wristwatch 10 of the present invention is attached to the wrist, the time is normally displayed, so that the wristwatch does not need to be separately attached and can be used as a wristwatch. Since it is used as a substitute for a wristwatch, the possibility of forgetting is greatly reduced. In addition, since the main body 11 is attached to an arm like a wristwatch, it is desirable to make the main body 11 smaller than a conventional one.

If a call signal is received during wearing, the buzzer 33 sounds an alarm sound. And the liquid crystal panel 1
If you look at 2, you can know the phone number of the person to contact. Further, the outline of the message can be known from the message field 12c. If the alarm is switched to the vibrator 34, a call signal can be received without being known to others, even during a meeting or on a train. In this case, since the arm receives vibration, it is sure. If the alarm is set to the lamp 13 and the light mode is set, the blinking of the lamp 13 is noticeable even during desk work or the like, so that a call signal can be received.

[0022]

According to the present invention as described above,
In a wristwatch having a pager function, a belt for locking the pager to the arm is provided, so that the wristwatch can also be used as a wristwatch, and it is possible to prevent the user from forgetting to carry with a higher probability.

If the means for generating a calling signal is a vibrator, vibration can be sensed directly with the arm, so that the calling signal can be detected much more reliably than in a case where it is placed in a pocket.

If the calling signal generating means is a lamp, it blinks with the arm, so that the calling signal can be reliably detected.
