Description

The present invention relates to a wireless receiver that notifies an incoming call by an electronic sound (melody) having a musical scale, and more particularly to a wireless receiver that can change a melody at the time of an incoming call according to a user's preference.

In general, a synthesizer sounds according to melody data that enumerates data in which pitches and lengths are combined (hereinafter referred to as “note data”). Is normal.

A conventional radio selective call receiver will be described.
The conventional radio selective call receiver includes an EEPROM for storing a series of note data representing data of a plurality of melodies, and the user selects one of them and the selected melody is received when receiving an incoming call. It was ringed by a synthesizer to notify incoming calls.

Here, as a melody, a popular song of the time when the wireless selective call receiver was produced and a melody of music well known like a nursery rhyme are often used.

However, the conventional radio selective call receiver described above has a problem that a melody cannot be added later and the user gets bored immediately.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wireless receiver in which a new melody can be added and a user can enjoy a fresh melody and never get bored.

According to the first aspect of the present invention for solving the problems of the conventional example described above, in the wireless receiver, when data is received and the received data includes information representing a melody, the melody is in accordance with a user instruction. Is stored in the storage unit, and when the stored melody data is selected as the notification sound, the melody specified by the selected melody data is sounded when an incoming call is received. Notification sound can be easily added.

According to a second aspect of the present invention for solving the problems of the conventional example, in the wireless receiver, the storage unit can store data of a plurality of melodies, and when the incoming call is received, the storage unit stores the data. A feature is that a melody specified by melody data selected from a plurality of melody data selected is played, and a user can easily add a notification sound.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when data is received and the information indicating the melody is included in the received data, the melody data is stored in the storage unit according to the user's instruction, and the stored melody data Is selected as the notification sound, when a call is received, the melody specified by the selected melody data is sounded, so the user can easily add the notification sound, Further, when melody data is transmitted by mistake, it can be prevented from being stored, and the operability can be improved.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the storage unit can store a plurality of melody data. When an incoming call is received, the storage unit is specified by the melody data selected from the plurality of melody data stored in the storage unit. Therefore, the user can easily add the melody data as the notification sound according to his / her preference, and there is an effect that the user is not bored.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
A radio selective call receiver (this receiver) according to the present invention receives a melody data as a kind of message, stores the data in an EEPROM, and creates a melody for notifying an incoming call. Melody can be added as notification sound.

This receiver will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a configuration block diagram of the receiver.
As shown in FIG. 1, the receiver mainly includes a receiving unit 1, a control unit 2, a memory 3, an EEPROM 4, a notification unit 5, a display unit 6, and an operation unit 7. .

Whether or not the message data is melody data is determined by inserting a specific code at a specific position (for example, a header portion) of the message data or by preparing a dedicated address. However, in the following explanation, a case where a specific code is inserted at the head part of the message data will be considered.

That is, message data including melody data has a structure as shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the structure of message data including melody data.
As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the message data including the melody is sufficient if it is composed of specific chords and note data. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), It is conceivable that title information representing the title of the melody is added.

Hereinafter, each part of this receiver is demonstrated concretely.
The receiving unit 1 receives a signal arriving at the antenna and outputs it to the control unit 2.
The control unit 2 detects the address data included in the signal input from the receiving unit 1, and receives the message data corresponding to the address data when the address data matches its own address. is there.

Further, when the message data is received, the control unit 2 refers to the head portion of the message data and checks whether or not it matches a code indicating that the message data is melody data.
Here, if the head portion of the message data does not match the code, the control unit 2 stores the message data in the memory 3, causes the notification unit 5 to notify the incoming call, and displays the message on the display unit 6.

On the other hand, if the head portion of the message data matches the code, the control unit 2 determines that the message data is melody data and stores it in the EEPROM 4.
The control unit 2 selects one of melody data stored in the EEPROM 4 in accordance with an instruction from the operation unit 7 and sets it as a notification sound.

The memory 3 stores message data other than melody data.
The EEPROM 4 stores data of one or a plurality of melodies as a notification sound, and specifically has contents as shown in FIG. 3, for example. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the EEPROM 4.

The notification unit 5 receives an input of a signal to be notified of an incoming call from the control unit 2, and outputs a notification sound set in the control unit 2 to notify the incoming call.
The display unit 6 receives an instruction to display a message from the control unit 2 and displays and outputs the message.

Next, the operation of this receiver will be described.
When message data having the contents as shown in FIG. 2B arrives at the receiver antenna together with the address data addressed to the receiver, the receiver 1 receives this and outputs it to the controller 2.

Then, the control unit 2 receives this message data, checks whether or not the head portion of the message data matches the code indicating that it is melody data, and if so, matches the title data and the note data to the EEPROM 4. Store as melody data.
Then, the user can select and set the data of the melody as a notification sound, and the melody is sounded when receiving a call.

Note that the melody data may be provided as one of so-called information services. Specifically, the user calls the provider who provides the service, selects one of the melodies registered in advance with the provider, and sends message data to the receiver owned by the user. To be sent as.

Further, when the melody data is received, the control unit 2 may ask the user for an instruction for confirming whether to store the data in the EEPROM 4.
In this way, when melody data is transmitted by mistake, it can be prevented from storing it, and the operability can be improved.

According to this receiver, the user can easily add melody data as a notification sound according to preference, and there is an effect that the user is not bored.

In this example, the melody data is transmitted as message data with a specific code added. However, separately from this, the melody data is received at an address different from the one where the message is originally received. It does n’t matter if you do.

In this case, the receiver is assigned two addresses, a first address for receiving a message and a second address for receiving melody data, and when data is received at the second address. The control unit 2 may determine that the data is melody data and store it in the EEPROM 4. That is, the user can select and set the data of the melody received at the second address as the notification sound, and when the user receives the melody, the melody is sounded.

It is a block diagram of the configuration of this receiver. It is explanatory drawing showing the structure of the message data containing the data of a melody. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of contents of an EEPROM 4. FIG.
