For example, a predetermined call number is input from the telephone terminal 1. Then, the central control station 31 under the jurisdiction of the pager service company 3
The paging receiver 4 corresponding to the calling number is called from the transmitting base station 32 via the.

FIG. 2 shows an external view of the paging receiver 4. In this case, the paging receiver 4 connects the key input section 41 and the display section 42 via the hinge section 43, and is configured to be able to be folded in two.

The key input section 41 has a number key 5, a set key 6, a select key 7, and a mode key 8 as various operation keys. Here, the number key 5 is "1".
~ In addition to "0" key, has "*" key and "#" key,
Input data is designated by these keys. The set key 6 is used to instruct the determination when performing the setting operation in various modes. The select key 7 is used to perform a selection operation in each mode.
The mode key 8 can select a transmission message creation mode, a time setting mode, a sound switching mode, etc. according to the number of operations. That is, the paging receiver of this embodiment has not only the function of receiving a message, but also the function of creating a message for transmission.

The display section 42 is composed of a liquid crystal panel. Here, in addition to the message message display section 421 for displaying a message message, a portrait display section 422 including a segment for displaying a portrait message including an illustration and the like. A transmission code display unit 423 is provided for displaying the configuration of the transmission code when the transmission message code is created.
Further, the display section 42 can use another display element as a display means, and can also use, for example, an EL display, a plasma display, or the like. The human face displayed as a portrait message can also be displayed on the dot matrix display unit, in which case the portrait message is displayed in a dot pattern for each part.

In the figure, 9 is a power-on switch and 10
Is a reset switch. FIG. 3 shows a schematic configuration of the above-described paging receiver 4. In the figure, 11 is an antenna, and this antenna 11 is connected to an RF receiving section 12, and this RF receiving section 12 is connected to a decoder section 13. Through CP
It is connected to U14. The RF receiver 12 includes the antenna 1
The received data received in 1 is demodulated.

An ID-ROM 15 is connected to the decoder section 13. The ID-ROM 15 stores an ID code individually assigned to the paging receiver, specifically, frame data, address data and the like.
The D code is given to the decoder section 13. The decoder unit 13 receives the ID read from the ID-ROM 15.
The RF receiver 12 is driven intermittently based on the code, and the signal demodulated by the RF receiver 12 is decoded.
When it is determined that the D code matches, the match detection signal and the subsequently received message data are sent to the CPU 14.

The CPU 14 has a key input section 41 described above.
In addition to the display section 42, the speaker 16, the vibrator 1
7, LED 18, ROM 19 and RAM 20 are connected. Under the control of the CPU 14, the speaker 16 outputs a calling state as a notification sound via a drive circuit (not shown). Similarly, the vibrator 17 causes the calling state to vibrate and LE.
D18 outputs the calling state by blinking light.

The ROM 19 stores a control program prepared in advance for the CPU 14, and also stores a fixed phrase table, a female portrait code matrix and a male portrait code matrix.

In this case, the fixed phrase table stores a message formed of fixed phrases in association with a message code serving as a designated code as shown in FIG.
The standard message message of "Kinkyu" with the message code "01" and "TEL SEIYO" with the message code "02" can be obtained. In addition, the female portrait code matrix corresponds to the basic pattern of the female portrait as shown in FIG. 5 and the component patterns such as “eyebrows”, “eyes”, and “mouths” for transforming the basic pattern to the portrait code. As shown in FIG. 6, the male portrait code matrix is attached and memorized, and the basic pattern of the male portrait and the “eyebrows” for transforming the basic pattern,
Each part pattern such as "eyes" and "mouth" is stored in association with a portrait code. For example, if the basic pattern of the female portrait is specified, the portrait code "30" is obtained, and if the part pattern of the "eyebrow" for transforming the basic pattern of the female portrait is specified, the modified portrait code " 11 ”is obtained.

Returning to FIG. 3, the RAM 20 stores the message information sent at the time of calling. Further, the CPU 14 is configured to collectively control each circuit according to a control program stored in the ROM 19.

Next, the operation of the embodiment configured as described above will be described. First, a case where a transmission message is created using the paging receiver to which the present invention is applied and the created message is sent to a paging receiver having the same configuration as the paging receiver will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in step 701, a transmission message creation mode is selected by the mode key 8 of the key input unit 41 shown in FIG. Next, the type of message data to be sent is set. The types of message data to be sent include normal message data in which the sent data itself is displayed on the receiving side, and fixed format data in which the fixed text and portraits stored in the receiving side based on the sent data are restored and displayed. Therefore, when you send the standard format data as message data, first add "*".
Operate the key.

Here, if the fixed format data is not transmitted, that is, if the data is not "*" in the first load, NO is determined in the step 702, and the process proceeds to a step 703, where a normal numeral message is sent. By inputting as data, data can be transmitted in the next step 704. For data transmission in this case, the push button of the touch-tone phone 1 shown in FIG. 1 is used to input the same data as the message data displayed on the transmission code display section 423 of the paging receiver 4, that is, message data composed of numbers. By doing.

On the other hand, when the standard format data is transmitted, it is determined whether the portrait message is transmitted. When deciding whether to send a fixed phrase message and sending a portrait message, operate the “*” key, then the “5” key, “*” key, and “5” key in order to send the fixed phrase message. To send, press the "*" key,
The "4" key, "*" key, and "4" key are operated in sequence.
Data loaded by these key operations, that is, "* 5
"* 5" and "* 4 * 4" are codes for specifying and identifying the message format, respectively.

If the fixed-text message is transmitted without sending the portrait message, YES is determined in step 702, but NO is determined in step 705, and the process proceeds to step 706. In step 706, the message code (two digits) corresponding to the desired fixed phrase in the fixed phrase table shown in FIG. 4 is input to determine the input of fixed phrase data. Then, the process proceeds to step 704, and it becomes possible to transmit the data of the fixed text by this message code. That is, the numbers of the buttons of the touch-tone phone that must be operated in transmitting the fixed phrase data and the order thereof are displayed on the transmission code display portion 423.

On the other hand, when the portrait message is also transmitted as the standard format data, the portrait format designation code "* 5 * 5" is input by the above-mentioned key operation, so YES is determined in step 705, and the process proceeds to step 707. . In step 707, the basic pattern of the portrait is blinked on the portrait display section 422 of the display section 42 rather than the basic pattern of the female portrait with the portrait code “30” from the portrait code matrix shown in FIG. Here, the basic pattern of the portrait for men shown in FIG. 6 is also displayed by blinking by operating the select key 7, and when the determination is made, the basic pattern of the portrait is determined by operating the set key 6. In this case, after the portrait format designation code “* 5 * 5”, the portrait code of the basic pattern determined in step 707 is written and displayed on the transmission code display section 423 of the display section 42.

Next, it is determined whether or not the basic pattern of this portrait is to be transformed, and when transmitting as a moving image, the format designation mode "* 6 * 6" is input. The presence / absence of this input code is determined in step 708. Here, when the basic pattern is not deformed, step 70
If NO is determined in step 8, the process proceeds to step 709.

In step 709, it is determined whether the message is also transmitted. Here, if the message is not transmitted, that is, if the numeric key “5” is not operated, it is determined as NO in Step 709 and Step 704.
Then, it becomes possible to send only the portrait message consisting of the basic pattern. On the other hand, if the message is also to be transmitted, YES is determined in the step 709, and the step 71
Go to 0.

In step 710, it is determined whether the message to be transmitted is a fixed phrase, that is, "* 4 * 4" is input. Here, if the fixed phrase is not transmitted, it is determined as NO in Step 710 and Step 703.
Then, by inputting a normal number as message data here, in the next step 704, data transmission in which message data made up of numbers is added to a portrait message made up of a basic pattern becomes possible. On the other hand, if the fixed phrase is transmitted, YES is determined in step 710 and the process proceeds to step 706. In step 706, the input of the fixed phrase data is determined by inputting the message code corresponding to the desired fixed phrase in the fixed phrase table shown in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step 704, and it becomes possible to transmit the data in which the fixed phrase data is added to the portrait message having the basic pattern.

On the other hand, when transforming the basic pattern,
If YES is determined in step 708, the process proceeds to step 711. In step 711, the portrait code matrix to which the basic portrait pattern determined in step 707 belongs, for example, when the basic pattern of the portrait for women of the portrait code matrix shown in FIG. 5 is determined, the parts of the portrait code matrix in FIG. The part pattern of "eyebrow" in the pattern blinks, and the mode key 8 is displayed in the portrait display section 422 in the order of "eyebrow", "right eye", "left eye" and "mouth".
It is shifted by operating. When the desired component pattern that blinks is found by operating the select key 7, the set portrait key 6 is operated at that time to determine the modified portrait code in step 712. In this case, the portrait code determined in step 712 is written after the modified portrait format specification code “* 6 * 6” and displayed on the transmission code display section 423 of the display section 42.

Then, it is determined whether the transformation of the portrait has been completed. Here, if the transformation of the caricature has not been completed,
If NO in step 713, the process returns to step 711 to determine another component pattern for deformation in the same manner as described above.

When the transformation of the portrait is completed and YES is determined in step 712, the process proceeds to step 709.
In step 709, it is determined whether the message is also transmitted. Here, if the message is not transmitted, it is determined as NO in Step 709, the process proceeds to Step 704, and the portrait message in which the basic pattern is modified can be transmitted. On the other hand, if the message is also sent, step 70
It is determined to be YES in 9 and the process proceeds to step 710.

In step 710, it is determined whether to send a fixed phrase. Here, if the fixed phrase is not transmitted, it is determined as NO in Step 710, and the process proceeds to Step 703.
Here, by inputting a normal number as message data, it becomes possible to transmit data in which message data consisting of numbers is added to the portrait message in which the basic pattern is modified in the next step 704. On the other hand, if the fixed phrase is transmitted, YES is determined in step 710 and the process proceeds to step 706. In step 706, the input of the fixed phrase data is determined by inputting the message code corresponding to the desired fixed phrase in the fixed phrase table shown in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step 704, and it becomes possible to transmit the data in which the standard sentence data is added to the portrait message in which the basic pattern is modified.

FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8C show the procedure for creating a transmission message of a fixed phrase with a portrait message. First, when instructing the transmission message creation mode and inputting "* 5 * 5" with the number keys 5, as shown in FIG. 8A, the portrait format specification code "* 5" is displayed on the transmission code display section 423 of the display section 42. * 5 ”is displayed.

Next, in the portrait display portion 422, the basic pattern of the female portrait and the basic pattern of the male portrait are blinked each time the select key 7 is operated.
As shown in the figure, when the set key 6 is operated when the basic pattern of the portrait for women is displayed, this is determined as the basic pattern, and the transmission code display section 423 displays the portrait format designation code "* 5 * 5" followed by The portrait code “30” is displayed.

Next, when transforming the basic pattern, by inputting the standard portrait format specification code "* 6 * 6", the component patterns of the portrait code matrix shown in FIG. 5 are displayed in order. Then, in order to adopt the desired part pattern, the set key 6 is operated to determine the deformed portrait code corresponding to the part pattern at this time. As a result, the determined modified portrait code is displayed on the transmission code display unit 423, following the modified portrait format designation code “* 6 * 6”. Figure 8 (b)
Shows an example in which the female portrait basic pattern is transformed by the left eye, mouth, cheek, and hand part patterns. After the above "* 5 * 530", the modified portrait format specification code "* 6 * 6" is added. Continuing, left eye "21", mouth "4"
The modified portrait codes of "3", Hoho "81", and hand "91" are displayed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8 (c), the fixed phrase "Yoyaku O" corresponding to the message code "16" is added.
When the message "K" is determined by operating the set key 6, the transmission code display section 423 displays the above "* 5 *".
The fixed sentence format “* 4 * 4” and the message code “16” are displayed following “530 * 6 * 621438191”.

This completes the creation of a message for sending a fixed phrase with a portrait message. Next, the reception mode will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. in this case,
In step 901, the RF receiving unit 1 via the antenna 11
When the reception signal is received at 2, the RF reception unit 12 demodulates the reception data and gives it to the decoder unit 13. In the decoder unit 13, the demodulated received data is ID-ROM
It is determined whether or not the ID code assigned to the paging receiver given by 15 corresponds to the ID code. Then, only when they match, the call signal detection signal associated with the call signal reception is sent to the CPU 14.

Next, at step 902, it is judged whether or not message data is added after the calling signal. Here, if the message data is not continued, the process proceeds to step 903, and only the reception notification accompanied by the calling signal is performed.

On the other hand, if the calling signal is followed by message data, the process proceeds to step 904. In step 904, the CPU 14 instructs the decoder section 13 to continuously receive the received signal, and after the message data is taken in, the format designation code defined by “**” is attached to the head portion. Determine if data exists. Here, if there is no format designation code, reception notification is performed in step 905, a message based on this message data is displayed on the display unit 42, the message data is stored in the RAM 20, and the process ends.

On the other hand, in step 904, "**" is added to the beginning.
When it is determined that the data with the format designation code defined by “.” Is present, the process proceeds to step 906, and it is determined whether or not the portrait code data is present immediately after the format designation code. Here, if the portrait code does not exist, the process proceeds to step 907, and it is determined whether or not there is the fixed phrase data based on the message code immediately after the fixed phrase format designation code "* 4 * 4". If there is no fixed phrase data, step 90
In step 8, only the reception notification accompanying the calling signal is performed, and if there is the fixed phrase data, the fixed phrase message is displayed on the display unit 42 in step 909, and the process ends.

FIG. 10A shows a display example when it is determined in step 907 that there is no fixed phrase data. Here, the fixed phrase data is designated after the fixed phrase format designation code "* 4 * 4". Since it does not exist, the message display unit 421 of the display unit 42 only displays that effect.

FIG. 10B shows a display example when it is determined that the fixed phrase data is present in step 907. Here, the fixed phrase format designation code “* 4 * 4” is followed by the fixed phrase. Assuming that “16” exists as data, “Yoyaku O” corresponding to the message code “16” from the fixed text format shown in FIG.
“K” is read out, and this message is displayed on the message display section 421 of the display section 42.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 906 that the portrait code exists, it is determined in step 910 whether the modified portrait format designation code "* 6 * 6" is followed by the modified portrait code after the portrait code. To do.

If it is determined in step 910 that there is a modified portrait format code "* 6 * 6" after the portrait code and there is a modified portrait code, the process proceeds to step 911, and after this standard portrait code. It is determined whether message data exists.

If message data is present after the modified portrait code, the process proceeds to step 912. In step 912, together with the reception notification, a new portrait modified by the component pattern corresponding to the modified portrait code is generated from the basic pattern of the portrait code, and the modified portrait is displayed on the portrait display unit 422 of the display unit 42. , A message based on the message data is displayed on the message display section 421 of the display section 42, these data are stored in the RAM 20, and the process is terminated.

FIG. 11 shows a display example in such a case. Here, “* 5 *” shown in FIG.
530 * 6 * 621438191 ”is followed by a fixed text format designation code“ * 4 * 4 ”and a message code“ 16 ”as fixed data.
In other words, in this case, the portrait format specification code "*"
5 * 5 ”follows the portrait code“ 30 ”, and the modified portrait format specification code“ * 6 * 6 ”follows the modified portrait code“ 21438191 ”. Finally, the fixed text format specification code“ *
4 * 4 ”and message code“ 16 ”follow.

As a result, the portrait format code "* 5 * 5" followed by the portrait code "30" causes R
When the female portrait basic pattern is read from the portrait code matrix shown in FIG. 5 of the OM 19, the modified portrait format codes “21”, “43”, “81”, “91” are added following the modified portrait format specification code “* 6 * 6”. Thereby, a part of the basic pattern is transformed by the part pattern read from the portrait code matrix shown in FIG. 5 to generate a new portrait, and this portrait is displayed on the display unit 42.
Will be displayed on the portrait display unit 422.

Further, the fixed text format designation code "*"
Based on the message code "16" following 4 * 4 ",
The corresponding "Yoyaku OK" is read from the fixed text format shown in FIG. 4 of the ROM 19, and this message is displayed on the message display section 421 of the display section 42.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 911 that no message data is present after the modified portrait code, the process proceeds to step 913. In step 913,
Along with the reception notification, from the portrait of the basic pattern based on the portrait code data, generate a new portrait modified by the part pattern according to the modified portrait code data,
This modified portrait is displayed on the portrait display unit 422 of the display unit 42.
Is displayed on the screen, and these received message data are
The data is stored in the AM 20 and the process ends.

FIG. 12 shows a display example in such a case. Here, "* 5 *" shown in FIG.
530 * 6 * 621438191 ”is present. That is, in this case, the portrait format specification code “* 5 * 5” is followed by the portrait code “30”,
The modified portrait format code "* 6 * 6" is followed by the modified portrait code "21438191".

As a result, the portrait code "30" following the portrait format designation code "* 5 * 5"
When the female portrait basic pattern is read from the portrait code matrix shown in FIG. 5 of the OM 19, the modified portrait format codes “21”, “43”, “81”, “91” are added following the modified portrait format specification code “* 6 * 6”. As a result, a new portrait in which a part of the basic pattern is transformed is generated by the component pattern read from the portrait code matrix shown in FIG. 5, and this portrait is displayed on the display unit 42.
Will be displayed on the portrait display unit 422.

On the other hand, in step 910 described above, the modified portrait format specification code "*" is added after the portrait code.
If it is determined that "6 * 6" does not exist, the process proceeds to step 914 and it is determined whether or not message data exists after the portrait code.

If message data exists after the portrait code, the process proceeds to step 915. In step 915, a portrait of the basic pattern is generated by the portrait code together with the reception notification, and the portrait is displayed on the display unit 4.
No. 2 is displayed on the portrait display unit 422, and a message based on the message data is displayed on the message display unit 421 of the display unit 42. The received message data is stored in the RAM 20 and the process ends.

FIG. 13 shows a display example in such a case. In this case, the fixed sentence format designation code “* 4 * 4” and the message code “* 4 * 4” are added to the fixed sentence data after “* 5 * 530”. 16 "is present. That is, in this case, the portrait format code "* 5 * 5" is followed by the portrait code "30",
Finally, as the message data, the fixed text format designation code “* 4 * 4” and the message code “16” follow.

As a result, the portrait format code "* 5 * 5" followed by the portrait code "30" causes R
The female portrait basic pattern is read from the portrait code matrix of the OM 19 shown in FIG. 5 to generate a portrait, and this portrait is displayed on the portrait display unit 422 of the display unit 42.

Further, the fixed text format designation code "*"
Based on the message code "16" following 4 * 4 ",
The corresponding "Yoyaku OK" is read from the fixed text format shown in FIG. 4 of the ROM 19, and this message is displayed on the message display section 421 of the display section 42. on the other hand,
If it is determined in step 914 that message data does not exist after the portrait code, the process proceeds to step 916. In step 916, together with the reception notification, the portrait of the basic pattern is generated by the portrait code, this portrait is displayed on the portrait display unit 422 of the display unit 42, and the received message data is stored in the RAM 20 and the process is terminated. .

FIG. 14 shows a display example in such a case, and here, only "* 5 * 530" is shown. That is, in this case, the portrait format code "* 5 * 5" is followed by the portrait code "3".
0 ”exists.

As a result, the portrait format code "* 5 * 5" followed by the portrait code "30" causes R
A female portrait basic pattern is read from the portrait code matrix of the OM 19 shown in FIG. 5, a portrait is generated, and this portrait is displayed on the portrait display unit 422 of the display unit 42.

Therefore, according to such an embodiment, when the transmitter is used, the basic pattern is read from the portrait code matrix stored in the ROM 19 to generate and transmit the portrait code, and the parts of the portion to be transformed of the basic pattern are also transmitted. Since the pattern is read from the portrait code matrix and the modified portrait code is generated,
This makes it possible to send message information rich in expressiveness that allows a predetermined portion of the basic pattern of a portrait to be arbitrarily transformed by a component pattern.

In the case of the receiving device, when the message information by the above-mentioned generation method is received from the transmitting side, R
The basic pattern is read from the portrait code matrix stored in the OM 19 based on the portrait code, and the portrait display unit 422 displays the portrait in which the predetermined portion of the basic pattern is modified by the component pattern read from the portrait code matrix based on the modified portrait code. Since it can be displayed on the screen, it is possible to receive a highly expressive message as a portrait message by modifying the basic pattern.

As a result, it becomes possible to transmit highly expressive message information by a portrait message as compared with the conventional one in which an illustration given in advance as message information is displayed as a still image. The effect as a means to convey feelings is extremely large.

FIG. 15 is a flow chart for explaining the reception mode of another embodiment of the present invention. Also in this case, when the RF reception unit 12 receives the reception signal via the antenna 11 in step 1501, the RF reception unit 12 demodulates the reception data and gives it to the decoder unit 13. In the decoder unit 13, the ID of the demodulated received data
-Determine a match with the ID code individually assigned to the paging receiver given from the ROM 15. Then, only when they match, the call signal detection signal associated with the call signal reception is sent to the CPU 14.

Next, in step 1502, it is determined whether or not message data is attached after the calling signal. Here, if the message data is not continued, the process proceeds to step 1503, and only the reception notification accompanying the calling signal is performed.

On the other hand, if the calling signal is followed by message data, the process proceeds to step 1504. Step 150
In 4, the CPU 14 instructs the decoder unit 13 to continuously receive the received signal, and after the message data is captured, whether the format designation code defined by "**" exists at the head portion. To judge. Here, if there is no format specification code, step 1
At 505, reception notification is performed, a message based on this message data is displayed on the display unit 42, the message data is stored in the RAM 20, and the process ends.

On the other hand, in step 1504, "*" is added to the beginning.
When it is determined that the format designation code defined by "*" is present, the process proceeds to step 1506, and it is determined whether or not a portrait code is present after this format designation code. Here, if the portrait code does not exist, the process proceeds to step 907, and it is determined whether or not there is fixed text data based on the message data after the fixed text format designation code "* 4 * 4". If there is no fixed phrase data, only the reception notification accompanying the calling signal is performed in step 1508, and if there is the fixed phrase data, step 1
In 509, the fixed text message is displayed on the display unit 42, and the process ends.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 1506 that the portrait code exists, then in step 1510 the modified portrait format designation code “* 6 * 6” is added after the portrait code.
Then, it is determined whether or not there is a modified portrait code.

Here, in step 1510, the modified portrait format specification code "* 6 * 6" is added after the portrait code.
When it is judged that there is a deformed portrait code after that,
Proceeding to step 1511, it is determined whether or not there is message data after the modified portrait code.

If message data exists after the portrait code, the process proceeds to step 1512. In step 1512, together with the reception notification, the first portrait by the basic pattern is generated by the portrait code, and the second portrait by transforming the first portrait by the component pattern according to the modified portrait code is also generated. Portrait display unit 4 of first and second portrait display unit 42
The display is switched alternately to 22. In addition, a message is displayed on the message display unit 421 of the display unit 42, the received message data is stored in the RAM 20, and the process ends.

In this case, for example, when "* 5 * 530 * 6 * 621438191" is received as the message data, the portrait code "30" following the portrait format designation code "* 5 * 5" causes the ROM 19 of FIG. A female portrait basic pattern is read from the illustrated portrait code matrix to generate a first portrait, and then the modified portrait code “21”, “43”, “81”, “91” following the modified portrait format “* 6 * 6”. Thus, a part of the basic pattern is transformed by the part pattern read from the portrait code matrix to generate a new second portrait, and these first and second portraits are generated as shown in FIG.
3 and FIG. 11, the portrait display section 422 of the display section 42 is alternately switched and displayed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 1511 that message data does not exist after the portrait code, the process proceeds to step 1513. In step 1513,
Along with the reception notification, the first portrait by the basic pattern and the second portrait modified by the first portrait and the component pattern according to the modified portrait code are generated, and these portraits are displayed on the portrait display unit of the display unit 42. The display is switched to 422 alternately, and the received message data is stored in the RAM 20 to end the processing.

In step 1510, the modified portrait format specification code "* 6 * 6" is added after the portrait code.
If it is determined that there is no message, the process proceeds to step 1514, and it is determined whether or not message data exists after this portrait code.

If message data exists after the portrait code, the process proceeds to step 1515. In step 1515, the reception notification is generated, and a portrait of the basic pattern is generated by the portrait code, the portrait is displayed on the portrait display section 422 of the display section 42, and the display section 4 is further displayed.
A message is displayed on the second message display portion 421, these data are stored in the RAM 20, and the process is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 1514 that message data does not exist after the portrait code, step 15
Proceed to 16. At step 1516, a basic pattern portrait based on the portrait code is generated along with the reception notification, this portrait is displayed on the portrait display section 422 of the display section 42, and these data are stored in the RAM 20 to end the processing.

Therefore, according to such an embodiment, a predetermined portion of the basic pattern is transformed by the first portrait generated from the basic pattern and the component pattern read from the portrait code matrix based on the modified portrait code. By switching and displaying the second portrait, the message information in a moving image format rich in expressiveness can be transmitted as a portrait message.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be carried out by appropriately modifying it within the scope of the invention.

7 * 7 ”and code“ 0121 ”as a basic pattern, modified part format“ * 8 * 8 ”and modified code“ 3 ”
1 ", the fixed phrase format designation code" * 4 * 4 "and the message code" 02 "are received, the message format designation code" * 7 * 7 "is followed by the code" 01 ".
Based on "21", it is read based on the basic pattern by the combination of the component patterns read from the message illustration code matrix shown in FIG. 16 and the code "31" following the modified part format designation code "* 8 * 8". The deformed part pattern generates a basic message illustration and a modified message pattern that is partially changed, and these portraits are shown in FIG. 17 (a).
As shown in (b), in the message display section 424 of the display section 42,
Modified message illustrations in Fig. 17 (b) and (a) (b)
It can be displayed as a moving image showing the urgency by the message illustration of, and the fixed phrase format specification code "* 4 * 4"
Based on the message code "02" following "," the corresponding fixed phrase data "TEL seyo" is read out, and this message is also displayed on the display unit 42 as shown in FIGS. 17 (a) and (b).
