Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a radio paging receiver, and more particularly, to a radio paging receiver capable of setting an operation mode by an easy operation at power-on. .

[Prior Art] In a radio paging receiver, it is possible to select a desired operation mode from among a plurality of types of operation modes such as a sound volume, a sound method, a sound frequency, a sound time, and a display time. In the case of a possible configuration, the following means have conventionally been taken as a selection method.

One of the methods is to provide a switch for selecting an operation mode in a radio paging receiver and to switch the operation mode by using the switch. Another method is to store a call number.
There has been a method in which a write area for selecting an operation mode is provided in the ID-ROM, and the operation mode is set by writing to the area.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Among the conventional systems as described above, in the former system in which a switch for switching the operation mode is provided in the radio paging receiver, the radio paging receiver, which is required to be as small as possible due to its characteristics, In the method of providing a switch for performing relatively complicated circuit switching, it is necessary to provide a switch for performing relatively complicated circuit switching in a radio paging receiver that is required to be as small as possible in nature. Therefore, there is a problem that the receiver is downsized.

Also, in the latter ID-ROM, a write area for selecting an operation mode is provided, and in a method in which an operation mode is set by writing necessary information in the area, the ID-ROM is rewritten every time the operation mode is changed. Alternatively, there is a problem in that handling is complicated because replacement is required.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and has as its object to provide a radio paging receiver having means for easily setting an operation mode without impairing downsizing of the receiver.

[Means for solving the problem]

According to the present invention, the above objects are achieved by the means as set forth in the claims.

That is, the present invention relates to a radio paging receiver having a plurality of operation modes, wherein, when a power switch is turned on, a means for sequentially outputting a plurality of types of sounds, This is a radio paging receiver provided with means for selecting an operation mode corresponding to the type of sound by operating a sound output suppression switch and setting the operation mode as a subsequent operation mode.

[Action]

In the paging receiver of the present invention, when the power switch is turned on (ON), different types of sounds are sequentially output.

These sounds are associated with the operation mode of the receiver for each type, and when the sound corresponding to the operation mode to be set is emitted, the receiver is pressed by pressing the sound output suppression switch. Can be set to the operation mode.

Further, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the desired operation mode is set by depressing the sound output suppression switch when the sound is other than the sound corresponding to the operation mode to be set.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a first embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is an antenna, 2 is a receiving section, 3 is a sound generating section, 4 is a sound output section, 5 is a speaker, Reference numeral 6 denotes a sound control unit, 7 denotes an operation mode setting unit, 8 denotes a sound output suppression switch, 9 denotes a power-on detection unit, 10 denotes a power switch, and 11 denotes a power supply.

In the figure, when the power switch 10 is turned on,
The power-on detecting section 9 detects that the power is turned on, and notifies the sound control section 6 of this.

The sound control section 6 sequentially generates different types of sounds in the sound generation section 3 and outputs the generated sounds to the speaker 5 through the sound output section 4.
Output from

The mode setting section 7 has a correspondence table between the type of sound and the operation mode, and selects an operation mode corresponding to the type of sound output when the sound output suppression switch 8 is pressed. After that, it is set as the operation mode of the radio paging receiver (the operation mode of this embodiment will be described later).

Regarding the relationship between the operation of the ringing output suppressing switch 8 and the operation mode, contrary to the above-described method, the button is not pressed when the sound corresponds to the operation mode to be set, but is pressed when the other sound is generated. Accordingly, it is possible to adopt a control method such as selecting a desired operation mode.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining an example of an operation mode in the above-described embodiment.

Hereinafter, the operation of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

When the power switch of the radio paging receiver shown in FIG. 1 is turned on, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), a plurality of types of sounds are sequentially generated at intervals of T seconds at intervals of T seconds. If no operation is performed, the sound stops when all sounds are finished.

However, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), when the sound output suppressing switch 8 is operated (hereinafter also referred to as "sound stop operation") to stop the sound during the sound, While the sound stops, based on the correspondence table shown in Table 1,
The ring time when called is set to 15 seconds.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining another example of the operation mode in the embodiment of the present invention.

In the example of FIG. 2, it is necessary to wait for a plurality of types of sounds to be sequentially output until a sound corresponding to the mode to be selected is output.

On the other hand, in this example, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), when the power switch is turned on, the receiver outputs the first sound, and performs the sound stop operation of the sound. The operation is performed such that the next sound is output, and the sound stops when all the prepared sounds are output.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), if the sound stop operation is not performed for any of these sounds,
The sound is automatically stopped after a certain period of time, and the receiver is set to a mode corresponding to the sound at the same time. In the case of FIG. 3 (b), the sound is generated according to the correspondence table shown in Table 1. The sound time is set to 15 seconds.

In order to change the set sound duration, the power switch should be turned off, turned on again, and reset by the same method.

In the above description, the example of the ringing time has been described. However, as shown in Table 2, the present invention can be used for selecting various modes such as a ringing method and a ringing frequency.

The method of sounding immediately after the power switch is turned on does not need to be the four methods shown in FIG. 2 at a certain time and at a certain interval with each method. Needless to say, there is no.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the second embodiment of the present invention.

This embodiment shows a case where an operation mode for notifying reception to a receiver carrier by a vibrator other than a sound is provided. Numerals 1 to 11 are the same as those in FIG. 1, and 12 is a vibrator drive. Reference numeral 13 denotes a vibrator.

In the present embodiment, it is possible to set an operation mode in which the receiver carries a reception notification by the vibrator, and the operation mode is selected by the sound stop operation for the sound type at power-on as described above. Thereafter, the vibrator driving unit 12 drives the vibrator 13 without generating a sound upon reception, thereby informing the receiver carrier of the reception.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the third embodiment of the present invention.

This embodiment shows a case in which the operation mode can be set to change the reception frequency of the receiving unit. Numerals 1 to 11 in the drawing are the case of FIG. 1 or FIG. 14 is the same as that of the receiving frequency switching unit.

In the case of this embodiment as well, the operation mode can be set by the sound stop operation for the sound type at power-on as in the other embodiments, but the reception frequency can be switched by the selection of the operation mode. Possible, reception frequency switching unit
Reference numeral 14 denotes a reception frequency corresponding to the selected power-on sound by changing the frequency of the local oscillator of the reception unit 2 based on information from the sound control unit 6, and thereafter to a reception frequency of this receiver. Set as

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the present invention is configured such that the setting of the operation mode of the radio paging receiver is performed by using a sound when the power switch is turned on and a switch for stopping the sound. Since there is no need for additional switches for selecting the operation mode or rewriting or replacing the ID-ROM when changing the operation mode, a radio paging receiver capable of selecting the operation mode is provided. There is an advantage that can be realized without impairing miniaturization.

Further, since the procedure for setting the operation mode is very simple, the operability is good.
