JP2570495B2 - Wireless selective call receiver with display - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the operation such as retrieval of information and display relating to a message or the like to eliminate the need for the operation and to improve the convenience of a receiver carrier by providing a means detecting a keyword in the message and a means displaying the information relating to the detected keyword to the receiver. CONSTITUTION:A radio signal received by an antenna 1 is amplified by a radio section 2 and demodulated. The demodulated signal is converted into a digital signal by a waveform shaping circuit 3 and collated with its own selective calling signal stored in an ID memory section 5 by a decoder section 4 and when its own selective calling signal is received, the received signal is outputted to a CPU 6. Upon the receipt of the signal from the decoder section 4, the CPU 6 outputs a control signal to a driver section 7 to make a notice and outputs a control signal to an LCD driver 8 to display a message to the LCD 9. Thus, the operation of retrieval and display of the information relating to a message is simplified or not required.

Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a radio selective call receiver with a display, and more particularly, to a function of displaying information about a keyword such as a personal name or a company name by a received message.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional wireless selective call receiver with a display has a function of displaying a received message accompanying its own selective call signal. In recent years, there has been proposed a receiver of this type which also has an electronic organizer function. In this receiver, input means such as a keyboard, a control unit of the receiver, a memory,
Using a display unit and the like as components, registration, search, display, and the like of information on keywords such as personal names and company names can be performed.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

As described above, a receiver having the function of an electronic organizer has been proposed, but this function is configured independently of the selective call reception function. For this reason, for example, when a message relating to a person's name or a company name is received, information on the message can be obtained by the function of the electronic organizer. Therefore, there is a problem that an operation for inputting is required, and an operation for searching and displaying desired information is troublesome.

An object of the present invention is to provide a radio selective call receiver with a display that simplifies or eliminates such an operation.

[Means for solving the problem]

A radio selective call receiver with a display according to the present invention includes means for detecting a keyword contained in a received message, and means for displaying information on the detected keyword.

Further, it is preferable to include a unit for selecting the detected keyword and a unit for displaying information on the selected keyword.

[Action]

According to the present invention, after detecting a keyword in a message, information on the keyword can be displayed, and operations such as searching and displaying information on the message can be simplified or unnecessary.

〔Example〕

 Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a radio selective call receiver with a display according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, a radio signal received by an antenna 1 is amplified by a radio unit 2 and then demodulated. When the demodulated signal is converted into a digital signal by the waveform shaping circuit 3 and compared with its own selective calling signal stored in the ID memory unit 5 by the decoder unit 4, the own selective calling signal is received. Outputs the received signal to the CPU 6. When a signal is input from the decoder unit 4, the CPU 6 outputs a control signal to the driver unit 7 to perform notification, and outputs a control signal to the LCD driver 8 to display a message on the LCD 9. Also, the received message is CPU6
It is stored in the memory 10 and can be displayed again.

When the driver unit 7 receives a control signal from the CPU 6, the driver unit 7
D11 and the speaker 12 are driven to notify that there is a call.

Further, a keyboard 13 is provided as a function of the electronic organizer.If a keyword such as a person's name or a company name and information about the keyword are input from the keyboard 13, the information is stored in the memory 10 by the processing of the CPU 6, and the keyboard 13 Search for information by operating from
Information can be displayed on the LCD 9 under the control of the D driver 8.

The CPU 6 has a function of identifying a keyword included in the message when receiving the message and controlling the LCD driver 8 to display the keyword with an underline when displaying the message. Further, the CPU 6 has a function of selecting a keyword for which information is to be displayed by operating the keyboard 13 and controlling the LCD driver 8 so as to display information on the selected keyword.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing an example of the operation of the radio selective call receiver with display configured as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 shows an example of the display operation in the flowchart of FIG.

In FIG. 2, when a message accompanying a selective call signal of the user is received (101), it is identified whether a keyword such as a personal name or a company name is included in the received message (102). A message is received as usual (103), the message is displayed (104), and the system waits for a message to be received (101).

On the other hand, if a keyword is included in the received message, a notification operation of the message reception is performed (106), and as shown in FIG. 3A, a message is displayed with an underline in the keyword portion (107). ). In addition, the received message is displayed by keyboard operation instead of the message display operation accompanying the notification operation (105).
In such a case, the keyword in the received message is similarly specified (107).

As in the example of FIG. 3A, the keyword “Taro Yamada”
A special symbol ▲ is displayed at the end of the underline of the portion, and information on the keyword is displayed by operating the keyboard. On the other hand, the display operation can be terminated without displaying information about the keyword by another keyboard operation (108). Multiple keywords in the message ("Taro Yamada" in Fig. 3 (a))
And "Hanako Yamada"), the special symbol is displayed at the end of the underline of the first keyword portion, but if you want to display information about another keyword, see FIG. By moving a special symbol to another keyword "Hanako Yamada" by a keyboard operation as in the example of b) and performing a different keyboard operation, information on the keyword is changed as in the example of FIG. 3C. (109). The display content is
The caller is the telephone number or address of the contact.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the present invention includes a means for detecting a keyword in a message and a means for displaying information on the detected keyword. Therefore, when a message is received, a keyword such as a person name or a company name in a message is received. Information can be automatically displayed. This simplifies or eliminates the operation of searching for and displaying information related to the message, thereby increasing the convenience of the receiver.

Further, if the registered information includes the keyword in the message, it is not necessary to transmit the information as a message accompanying the selective call signal, and effective use of radio wave resources can be achieved.
