Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a wireless paging receiver, and more particularly, to a wireless paging receiver configured to automatically switch an incoming call notification.

[Conventional technology]

In a conventional wireless paging receiver, as a method of notifying a user of an incoming call state, a method of sounding an electronic buzzer or the like to notify the user through hearing, or a method of vibrating a vibration device to notify the user by tactile sensation or the like. There is known a method in which a notification is made through the visual sense of a user by a method, a display, or a method based on a combination thereof. In the case of a method combining these, a changeover switch or the like is provided in a part of the receiver, and the user manually operates the changeover switch,
Switching of these notification methods is performed.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The above-described conventional wireless paging receiver has a problem in that if the user does not properly switch the notification method, appropriate notification is not performed. For example, if the user switches to the vibration mode while carrying the receiver, if the user forgets to switch the mode when the receiver is separated from the body, the user may check the notification vibration. There is a problem that it becomes impossible to recognize the reception.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a wireless paging receiver capable of automatically switching a notification method in accordance with a portable state of a receiver and performing suitable notification.

[Means for solving the problem]

A wireless paging receiver according to the present invention includes a wireless paging receiver having a plurality of notification means that can be selected by switching, a temperature sensor for sensing an environmental temperature of the receiver, and comparing the sensed temperature with a reference temperature. A temperature detection / comparison circuit for switching the notification means based on the comparison result.

[Action]

In this configuration, by detecting the temperature, the portable state of the receiver is detected, the notification means is switched according to the detection result, and a suitable notification method for the user is automatically selected.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the wireless paging receiver of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is an antenna, 2 is a radio receiving unit, 3 is a control unit, 4 is a switching circuit, 5 is a sounding device as first notification means, 6
Reference numeral denotes a vibrating device serving as second notifying means, which constitutes a switching-type wireless paging receiver that switches the notifying means between the sounding device 5 and the vibrating device 6. Here, a temperature sensor 7 and a temperature detection / comparison circuit 8 are newly provided, and the switching circuit 4 is automatically switched by the output of the temperature detection / comparison circuit 8.

The temperature detecting section 7 senses the temperature around the receiver, compares the sensed temperature with a reference temperature in a temperature detecting / comparing circuit 8, and when the detected temperature is lower than the reference temperature, switches the switching circuit 4 to the sounding device 5 The switching circuit 4 is operated to switch to the vibration device 6 side when the value is equal to or higher than the reference.

According to this configuration, when a call is received, the control unit 3 detects the incoming call via the antenna 1 and the wireless reception unit 2. At this time, the temperature sensed by the temperature sensing unit 7 is compared by the temperature detection / comparison circuit 8, and based on the comparison result, the switching circuit 4 is driven, and the sounding device 5 or the vibration device 6 is selected.

Therefore, when the user carries the receiver, the temperature sensing unit 7 senses the user's body temperature, so that the comparison by the temperature detection / comparison circuit 8 detects a temperature higher than the reference temperature, and the switching circuit 4 selects the vibration device 6. Accordingly, the user can be notified by vibration.

When the receiver is not carried by the user, the temperature sensing unit 7 senses the temperature of the environment. Therefore, the temperature detection / comparison circuit 8 detects a temperature lower than the reference temperature, and the switching circuit 4 The sounding device 5 is selected by. As a result, a user at a location distant from the receiver is notified by sound.

As a result, there is an effect that it is possible to avoid the inability to recognize the reception due to forgetting to switch the receiving method when the receiver is separated, and also to avoid the discomfort due to the notification of the ringing sound when the mobile phone is carried.

Note that the above embodiment is merely an embodiment of the present invention, and it goes without saying that the sounding device, the vibration device, and the display device may be configured to be switched by an appropriate combination.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, in the present invention, the environmental temperature of the receiver is sensed by the temperature sensing unit, and the notifying means is switched based on the result of comparing the sensed temperature with the reference temperature in the temperature detection / comparison circuit. Therefore, the notification means is automatically selected depending on whether or not the user wears the wireless paging receiver on the body, thereby avoiding unrecognizable reception due to forgetting to switch or discomfort due to unnecessary sounding. effective.
