[0007]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a wristwatch-type radio selective calling receiver according to one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a memory alert switch, which comprises a watch band stopper and a detecting means (not shown). The detecting means detects that the stopper is connected and / or that the stopper has been removed, and switches on the memory alert based on the detection signal.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a storage unit, which stores at least a call attribute and call notification means information. Here, there are three types of call attributes: unreported calls, unconfirmed calls, and read calls. The “unreported call” is a call that has been received by the radio selective call receiver but has not been reported to the user (recipient) because the report is suspended in the receiver. An “unconfirmed call” is a call that has been received and reported by the receiver, but has not been confirmed by the user because it was automatically reset. "Read Call"
The call has been confirmed by the user.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a control unit. When a memory alert switch 1 is turned on, the attribute of the call stored in the storage unit 2 is read out, the type of the call is checked, and it is determined whether or not to make a notification. . The call attribute check is performed by a call attribute check circuit provided in the control unit 3. Reference numeral 4 denotes a notification control unit which controls the liquid crystal display unit 5 and / or the alert generation unit 6 based on a signal from the control unit 3.

The liquid crystal display unit 5 comprises an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) 52 and an LCD driver 51 for driving the same, and displays information such as characters and figures. Alert generator 6
Is a speaker 61 for generating an alert sound, and a light emitting diode 6 for notifying reception by light emission or vibration.
2. It consists of a vibrator 63. If at least one of the liquid crystal display 52, the speaker 61, the light emitting diode 62, and the vibrator 63 is provided, a call can be made. However, in order to increase the number of functions and the performance of the radio selective call receiver, and to increase added value. It is preferable to have everything.

Other components such as a radio unit not shown in FIG. 1 are the same as those of a conventionally known radio selective calling receiver. Further, the wristwatch-type wireless selective calling receiver having the above configuration may be configured to include a memory unit for storing date and time information (reception date and time) of a received signal received, and a display unit for displaying the date and time information. preferable. Further, the configuration may be such that it can be used as a wristwatch.

Next, the operation of the wristwatch-type radio selective calling receiver of the present invention having the above-described configuration will be described. First, a radio selection call signal is received by a radio unit (not shown).
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state of a change in the attribute of a received call. As the attributes of the call, as described above, an unreported call,
There are three states, an unconfirmed call and a called call. The attribute of the received call is first stored in the storage unit 2 in FIG. 1 as an unreported call (FIG. 100). Subsequently, notification of the received call is performed. At this time, the received call is manually reset by the user (ManualReset; M
R) (FIG. 200), the call attribute is determined to be a read call (FIG. 102). When the user does not perform a manual reset and performs an automatic reset (Auto Reset; AR) by the radio selective calling receiver (FIG. 201), the attribute of the call is an unconfirmed call (FIG. 1).
01). If the notification of the received call is not made, the call attribute is regarded as an unreported call (see FIG. 1).
00). Note that the process of changing the attributes of the call is performed by the control unit 3 in FIG. As described above, the call received by the receiver is stored in the storage unit 2 as one of an unreported call, an unconfirmed call, and a read call.

Next, in the above state, when the stop of the watch band, which is the switch of the memory alert, is connected or disconnected, the control unit 3 reads the call attribute from the storage unit 2 and reads the call attribute. The call attribute check circuit provided in 3 checks whether there is an unreported call or an unconfirmed call. If there is an unreported call or an unconfirmed call, the notification control unit 4 is activated and stored in the storage unit 2. The notification means information is read.

The notifying means information includes an LCD 52, a speaker 6
1. Information on how to drive the notification means such as the light emitting diode 62 and the vibrator 63 alone or in combination. Based on this notification means information, these notification means are driven alone or in any combination. The call is notified. When displaying on a liquid crystal display, the received character information and the like are read out by the control unit 4 and sent to the LCD driver 51.

If the user manually resets the memory alert in response to the notification in the case where the attribute of the call is an unconfirmed call (202 of FIG. 2), the unconfirmed call is regarded as a called call (FIG. 2). 102). When the user does not perform a manual reset and is automatically reset by the selective call receiver (FIG. 203), the call is regarded as an unconfirmed call (FIG. 101). In addition, if the user manually resets the memory alert in response to the notification in which the attribute of the call is an unreported call, the unconfirmed call is regarded as a called call (see FIG. 220). (Figure 102). When the user does not perform a manual reset and is automatically reset by the selective calling receiver (FIG. 201), an unconfirmed call is made (FIG. 101).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the attribute of the call stored in the storage unit 2 is read by using the switch of the memo alert to connect or disconnect the stop of the watch band, and the attribute is not determined. It has a function to report a call when it is a report call or an unconfirmed call.

[0018]

As described above, the wristwatch-type radio selective calling receiver of the present invention stores the call attributes stored in the storage section by connecting or disconnecting the stop of the watch band. If the call is an unreported call or an unconfirmed call, it is reported so that the user can receive the received information promptly and reliably.
