DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION First Embodiment Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a radio selective calling receiver according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In this FIG.
Reference numeral 1 denotes an antenna, and reference numeral 2 denotes a radio unit including a high-frequency reception circuit, a frequency conversion circuit, a detection circuit, and the like. The radio signal received by the antenna 1 is amplified and demodulated by the radio unit 2.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a waveform shaping circuit including a comparison circuit, a sampling circuit, and the like, and 4 denotes a CPU (Central).
Processing Unit: Central Processing Unit and I / O (Input)
An output interface (input / output interface).

Reference numeral 6 denotes a self-selected calling number (hereinafter, if necessary, the selected calling number is simply referred to as ID).
Is stored in the ID-ROM. As the ID-ROM 6, a storage element such as a flash memory which can be rewritten as needed is used.

8 is an LED (Light Emission)
Diode: Light Emitting Diode), speaker, etc.
A notification unit that notifies a call or the like by light, sound, or vibration.

The signal demodulated by the radio unit 2 is converted into a digital signal by the waveform shaping circuit 3 and can be read by the control unit 4. The control unit 4 includes the waveform shaping circuit 3
Is compared with its own ID recorded in the ID-ROM 6 in advance.

The above-described control unit 4 controls these waveform shaping circuits 3
When the data signal input from the terminal and the own ID coincide with each other, it is determined that there is a call, and the notifying unit 8 performs a notifying operation to notify the user of the radio selective calling receiver.

9 is an LCD (Liquid Crystal) as an example.
A display unit 5 includes a display (liquid crystal display device) and the like. Reference numeral 5 denotes a battery-backed RAM (Random display).
Access Memory: a memory in which data can be easily rewritten, such as a readable and writable storage device. Reference numeral 7 denotes operation keys for a user of the radio selective calling receiver to perform various operations.

After detecting a call to the control unit 4, the control unit 4 analyzes a message signal following the ID, outputs message data to the display unit 9, and stores the message in the memory 5.

The user who has been notified by the notification unit 8 reads the message displayed on the display unit 9 and then reads the message.
The user operates the operation key 7 to turn on / off the power and set various functions.

The ID writing unit 10 receives ID data supplied from an ID writing device (not shown), and records the ID data in the ID-ROM 6 via the control unit 4. The ID writing detection unit 11 searches for a user setting ID code indicating whether the ID to be written is a user setting ID.

When the user-set ID code is detected by the ID-write detecting section 11, the ID data to be subsequently written is set as the user-set ID and recorded in the ID-ROM 6 separately from the normal ID data. On the other hand, when the user-set ID code is not detected by the ID writing detection unit 11, writing to the ID-ROM 6 is not performed. By writing the user setting ID in this way,
Information can be received by the user setting ID.

After writing the user setting ID, the ID priority determination control unit 12 displays a message prompting the user to select which of the reception using the normal ID and the reception using the user setting ID is given priority. It is displayed on the unit 9. At this time, the user operates the operation key 7 to select which of the reception by the normal ID and the reception by the user setting ID is prioritized.

After the user selects which of the reception by the normal ID and the reception by the user setting ID is prioritized, the receiver immediately starts the standby operation. When a message is received with the ID set to the priority, a notification operation is performed by the notification unit 8 to notify the user of the call, and the received message is displayed on the display unit 9 and the received message is displayed. It is stored in the memory 5.

When a message is received with an ID set to non-priority (not set to priority), the message is stored in the memory 5 as a non-priority message, distinguished from a message received with an ID set to priority. At the same time, the display unit 9 displays a symbol indicating that the reception has been performed in the ID set to the non-priority. In this case, a symbol is displayed in a blinking manner, for example, to distinguish it from the ID received with the priority set.

When such a non-priority message is received, the user first operates the operation key 7 to select message reading on the menu screen. As a result, the control unit 4 causes the display unit 9 to display a selection screen for selecting an area for storing the priority message and the non-priority message in the memory 5.

For example, in the present embodiment, a message received with a normal ID is called a "personal message", and a message received with a user-set ID is called "area information". On the message area selection screen, two area names of a personal message and area information are displayed on the display unit 9.

At this point, the user operates the operation key 7 again to select the area storing the received message of the ID set as non-priority. Thereby, the control unit 4 reads out the non-priority message from the memory 5 and causes the display unit 9 to display it.

Message reception by the user setting ID is started when the control unit 4 detects that the radio selective calling receiver has entered the reception area of the user setting ID.

The ID erasure control unit 13 is registered in the ID-ROM 6 when the control unit 4 detects that the radio selection receiver has gone out of the reception area of the user setting ID after the start of the standby by the user setting ID. User setting I
D is erased.

Hereinafter, the operation of this embodiment will be described in detail. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of the user setting ID writing process according to the present embodiment.

Upon completion of the selection input of the priority of reception by the receiver, the receiver immediately starts the standby operation (step Sc1).

Here, the control unit 4 waits until a message addressed to itself is received (step Sc2), and when a message addressed to itself is received, the received message is first received with an ID set to priority. It is determined whether or not it is the one (step Sc3).

If it is determined in step Sc3 that the received message has been received with the priority set ID,
The radio selective call receiver performs a notifying operation by the notifying unit 8 to notify the user of the call. Also,
While displaying the received message on the display unit 9,

On the other hand, if the received message is received with the non-priority ID, the radio selective calling receiver determines that the received message is received with the non-priority ID, and Is stored in the memory separately from the message received with the ID set in (Step Sc5). Thereafter, a symbol indicating that the non-priority message has been received is displayed on the display unit 9. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a display example when a message with an ID set to non-priority, that is, a personal message is received.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing for reading a message received with an ID set to non-priority. When a message is received with the ID set to non-priority in FIG. 6, the control unit 4 waits while a symbol indicating that the non-priority message has been received is displayed on the display unit 9 (step Sd1).

The user waits until the user operates the operation key 7 to read the non-priority message (step Sd2). When the operation key 7 is operated, the display on the display unit 9 is switched to the menu screen.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a display example of a menu screen displayed on the display unit 9. In this figure, after the user operates the operation key 7 to switch the display on the display unit 9 to the menu screen, the user again operates the operation key 7 to move the cursor to the message reading in order to select the message reading.

Here, when the user operates the operation keys 7 to complete the selection of the message reading, the display on the display unit 9 is switched to a message folder selection screen. Further, the user operates the operation key 7 to select a message area in which a message to be read is stored (step Sd3).

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a display example of a message area selection screen. In this figure, the user operates the operation key 7 to set the cursor to personal in order to read out the personal message set as non-priority.

When the message area from which the message is to be read is selected, the control section 4 reads the message in the selected message area from the memory 5 and displays it on the display section 9 (step Sd4).

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing when deleting a user setting ID. User settings I
This processing is on standby until D is written and the radio selective calling receiver enters the reception area of the user setting ID (step Se1). That is, the control unit 4 confirms whether or not the radio selective calling receiver has entered the reception area of the user setting ID (step Se2), and from the time when the control unit 4 detects this, the standby with the user setting ID is started.
