It is also possible to output the signal as a signal. The LED lamp 14 outputs the calling state by blinking light, and the vibrator 30 outputs the calling state by vibration.

The ROM 28 stores a control program prepared in advance for the control unit 27, and also stores a character code matrix for free message and an illustration data table.

In this case, the character code matrix for free message shows katakana, alphabets, numbers and symbols corresponding to the two-digit numerical value which is the designated code as shown in FIG. 4, for example, code "27". The letter "G" can be obtained by specifying.

The illustration data table is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the illustration data, which is a part pattern forming the image of the greeting card, is stored together with the display size information in association with the data number (No.) which is the part pattern designation code. 3 (vertical) × 4 (horizontal) horizontal by specifying
The illustration data of "Heart pierced by a bow and arrow" of size is read out and obtained.

Returning to FIG. 3, the RAM 29 receives the backup of the power source regardless of the ON state of the power switch so that the stored contents are not erased. The message information sent at the time of calling and the message card table described later are stored in the RAM 29. A melody data table and a telephone number bank are stored.

In this case, the message card table is a table in which image data of a greeting card is stored in association with a card number (No.) serving as an image designation code as shown in FIG. It is stored as a combination data of the formed part patterns. A card number "01" is a birthday card, a card number "02" is a Christmas card, and a card number "0".
The image data of various greeting cards such as confession card ...

Each image data is provided with an area for inputting the name of the sender or destination of the card, as indicated by a broken-line rectangle in the figure, and the card number "0".

2. It is assumed that the decoration information is additionally set so that the heart-shaped illustration TO3 in which the bow and arrow are stuck in the confession card with the card number “03” is displayed in blinking or moving image.

The melody data table is shown in FIG.
The melody data by the voice signal of the music is stored in association with the card number (No.) which is the designated code as shown in FIG. 2, and the card number “01” is “Happy Birthday to You” and the card number “02” is “ "White Christmas", card number "03", "I love you", and so on, melody data by voice signals of music corresponding to various greeting cards can be output and obtained.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the telephone number bank stores a plurality of sets of name data and call number data of a paging receiver as a contact in association with an ID number as a designated code. It is a thing.

Next, the operation of the embodiment configured as described above will be described.

First, the case where a message card image for transmission is created by the paging receiver 1 and the created message card image is sent to the paging receiver 1A having the same configuration as the paging receiver 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. explain.

When a power switch (not shown) on the side of the case main body 11 is turned on, the incoming mode is automatically set, and a message is displayed on a part of the liquid crystal display panel 13 to prompt the user to change the mode selection to the outgoing mode (step. A
1).

This mode selection change is performed in response to the operation of the "menu" key of the function key 16. In addition to the change to the call mode, the change to the above-mentioned telephone number bank mode and calculator mode can also be made. Is. Here, it is determined whether or not the mode set by the selection operation of the "menu" key is the transmission mode (step A2).

When the newly set mode is not the calling mode, the mode is shifted to another mode which is operated as it is and the processing relating to the mode is executed (step A1).
9) If the newly set mode is the call mode, then it is determined whether or not to send the message card image based on the content of the operation input (step A).
3).

When the message card image is not transmitted, a message consisting of a normal number string and a character string is then input and created by a combination operation of the function key 16 and the dial key 15 (step A18), and the liquid crystal display panel 13 is formed. After confirming the contents on the screen, the calling process is executed (step A17). The message information transmitted at this time is converted into two-digit numerical code information for each character based on the character code matrix of the ROM 28 shown in FIG.

As an operation associated with this calling process, as shown in FIG. 7, an arbitrary destination is selected from the telephone number banks stored in the RAM 29 by name, and then the operation shown in FIG. 1 is performed. As such, a telephone terminal 2 such as a touch-tone telephone
By pressing the dialer key 17 while the speaker 18 is in contact with the speaker, the telephone number for calling the destination and the message information created above are continuously transmitted as a dial tone signal. Is.

If it is determined in step A3 that the message card image is to be transmitted, then it is determined whether or not to newly create and transmit the message card image based on the contents of the operation input (step A4).

If a new message card image is not created, the image of the message card table already created and stored in the RAM 29 as shown in FIG. An input of the card number which is the designated code to be selected is accepted, and the selected message card image is displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 13 (step A14).

In FIG. 10, the card number "0" is read from the RAM 29.
This is an example of a state in which the image of the birthday card “1” is selected and displayed. At this time, the sender (sender)
The area NA1 for inputting the name of and the area NA2 for inputting the name of the destination (recipient) are displayed in a highlighted manner, for example.

Next, by operating the function key 16 and the dial key 15 in combination, the name of the caller and the name of the callee are successively input (step A15,
16).

In this case, in most cases, the sender's name is the person who owns the paging receiver 1, so the name of the owner is set in a specific area of the RAM 29 in advance. The operation can be simplified by automatically reading out the owner's name and temporarily inputting it as a default value in the area NA1 for inputting the sender's name.

The name of the called party is not entered one by one by combining the function key 16 and the dial key 15, but by selecting from the telephone number bank stored in the RAM 29. If the operation is replaced, the operation can be simplified.

However, after inputting the names of the caller and the callee as shown in FIG. 11, the contents are confirmed on the liquid crystal display panel 13 and the above-mentioned call operation is executed (step A17).

However, if the selection operation is performed from the telephone number bank stored in the RAM 29 as described above when the name of the called party is input in step A16,
It is not necessary to newly perform the same operation for designating the telephone number of the called party in the calling process of step A17, and the operation can be simplified.

The data transmitted in this calling process is represented by, for example, * 04018133332 # 717225 following the telephone number of the transmission destination. In this data, the first 3 digits "* 0"
4 "is code information indicating that it is a card type message, the following 2 digits" 01 "is the card number indicating the image of the birthday card, and the following 6 digits" 81332 "is the sender's name""based on the character code matrix of FIG. Code information indicating "Yashi", code information for the delimiter indicating that the following "#" shifts to the next data, and the last 6 digits "7172"
25 "is code information indicating the name" Mamiko "of the called party by the character code matrix of FIG.

If it is determined in step A4 that a new message card image is to be created and transmitted,
While the coordinate configuration of the message card as shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 13, the input of the designation code of the illustration data shown in FIG. 8 is accepted and the illustration data is selected (step A5).

When the illustration data is selected, subsequently, the coordinate position of the selected illustration data is set (step A6), and after being displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 13,
Hereinafter, the operations of steps A5 and A6 are repeatedly executed until it is determined that the operation of ending the creation is performed (step A7).

When the arrangement of the illustration data portion of the message card image as shown in FIG. 13 is completed in this way, the next fixed character message data is changed to that shown in FIG.
Area NA to enter the caller's name as shown in Fig. 4 and to enter the range indicated by hatching in the lower right of the figure.
Set as 3. At this time, each coordinate position corresponding to the above-mentioned illustration data portion is displayed in black as a solid black instead of an actual illustration pattern so as to prohibit the input of characters, as shown by hatching in the figure.

As a result, the completed message card image is as shown in FIG. In the figure, it is assumed that the line TO4 expressing the brilliance in the illustration of the ring is additionally set with the modification information so as to be displayed in a blinking manner.

Data representing this image are 041010410304105 ... 512010450.
504507 ... # 248025 ... # 204 # 15744
4 ... # 304 # 404.

In this data, the first five digits "04101"
From 5 to 6 each, 30 digits in total are the illustration data of data number "04" and its coordinate position, and the 5th digit "51201" from 31st digit to 35th digit is the ring of data number "51". Illustration data and its coordinate position, and 4 each 5 digits from the 36th digit to the 55th digit, total 2
The 0th digit indicates the illustration data of data number "04" and its coordinate position, respectively.

Further, the following "#" is the delimiter code information, and the next "248025 ..." is the fixed message "Kekkonkinenbiome ..." By the character code matrix of FIG.
The code information indicating "," and the next "204" between "#" are the coordinate position of this fixed message "Kekkon Kinenbi",
The next "157444 ..." across the "#" is code information indicating the fixed message "Ometo" by the character code matrix, the next "304" across the "#" is the coordinate position of this fixed message "Ometo", The next "404" between "#" is the coordinate position of the area NA3 for inputting the name of the sender.

For the data of the message card image thus created, a display prompting an operation to set the melody data by the voice signal of the music is displayed, and it is determined whether or not the melody data is set according to the contents of the operation (step A8). .

Only when it is determined to set the melody data, a desired melody data selection operation is performed by displaying a list of the melody data shown in FIG. 6 in characters (step A9).

Thereafter, the operation for confirming whether or not to register the created message card image is awaited (step A10), and when it is confirmed that the message card image is registered, the card number as the image designation code of the created message card image is confirmed. It is set (step A11).

Then, the operation for confirming whether or not to transfer the created message card image is awaited (step A
12) When the transfer is confirmed, the information of the created message card image and its card number are transferred to the paging receiver 1C of the other party by the IR transmitting / receiving unit 19.

FIG. 16 exemplifies this transfer operation, and IR transmitting / receiving sections of the paging receiver 1 (1A) on the self side and the paging receiver 1 (1C) on the other side, which have created the message card image, respectively. 19 facing each other,
The paging receiver 1 (1A) on the own side sets the transmission mode of the message card image to the paging receiver 1 on the other side.
In (1C), the information of the created message card image and the card number are newly stored in the RAM 29 of the paging receiver 1 (1C) of the other party by executing the transfer after setting the reception mode of the message card image. Will be registered in.

When the operation of not registering the message card image created in step A10 is performed, or when the operation of not transferring the message card image created in step A12 is performed,
The process related to the creation of this message card image is stopped, and the process proceeds to step A14 above where the RA has already been created.
By using the image of the message card table as shown in FIG. 5 stored in the M29, the card number which is the designated code is accepted to select the desired message card image, and the selected message is received. The card image is displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 13.

Next, with reference to FIG. 17, the contents of the incoming call processing will be described in the case where the power switch is turned on and the incoming call mode is automatically set in step A1 and no mode selection changing operation is performed.

At the beginning of the processing, the self-address stored in the ID-ROM 23 is intermittently repeatedly waited for (step B1), and when the call is made, the message information following the call address is displayed. Take in (step B2).

Then, it is confirmed whether or not there is message information (step B3). If there is no message information, first, after notifying that there is an incoming call using one of the set notification sound from the speaker 18, blinking of light from the LED lamp 14 or vibration from the vibrator 30, it is output ( In step B12), it is determined whether or not the notification key is instructed by operating the reset key (step B13).

When the reset key is operated, it means that the user has recognized that there is a call, so the notification is immediately stopped according to the operation (step B14), and the process returns to step B1 again. Wait for a call.

If it is determined in step B13 that the reset key has not been operated, the notification is temporarily stopped after waiting for a certain period of time, for example, 20 seconds, and the RAM 29 is called. Is written (step B8), and the process returns to step B1 and waits for a call.

If it is determined in step B3 that there is message information due to the data acquisition, whether or not the message information is a message card image, that is, as described above, a card-type message is added to the beginning of the message information. It is determined whether or not the code "* 04" indicating that there is is attached (step B4).

If the image is not a message card image,
Since the message is a normal normal number string and character string and a picture, first, one of the above-mentioned notification sound from the speaker 18, blinking of light from the LED lamp 14 and vibration of the vibrator 30 is set. After the fact that there is an incoming call is notified and output using a thing (step B9), it is judged whether or not the stop of the notification is instructed by the operation of the reset key (step B10).

When the reset key is operated here, the user has recognized that there is a call, so the notification is immediately stopped in response to the operation and the received message information is displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 13. The display is output (step B10), the user is informed of the contents of the message, and the process returns to step B1 again to wait for a call.

If it is determined in step B10 that the reset key has not been operated, the notification is temporarily stopped after waiting for a certain time, for example, 20 seconds, to notify the RAM 29 that there is a call. The information shown and the fetched message information are written (step B8), and the process returns to step B1 and waits for a call.

Further, when it is judged that the message information fetched in the step B4 is a message card image, first, the alarm sound of the speaker 18, the blinking of the light of the LED lamp 14 or the vibration of the vibrator 30 is generated. One of the set ones is used to output the notification that there is an incoming call (step B5), and then it is determined whether or not to stop the notification by operating the reset key (step B6).

When the reset key is operated here, the user has recognized that there is a call, so the notification is immediately stopped in accordance with the operation and the melody data is specified in the message information. If there is chord information to be reproduced, the melody data in the RAM 29 shown in FIG.
The music of the melody is output by voice, and the data of the received message card image is displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 13.
The display is output at (step B7).

In this case, the RAM 29 shown in FIG. 5 described above is formed by the code of the card number following the code "* 04" indicating the above card type message in the message information.
The card image data is searched for, and the characters shown in FIG. 4 are read from the ROM 28 according to the code of the caller's name and the code of the callee's name following the code of the card number, and the characters are combined in a specific area in the card image. Display output is performed on the liquid crystal display panel 13.

At this time, instead of displaying the designated message card image immediately after the reset key operation,
While outputting the music of the melody data as an audio, the envelope is delivered as shown in FIG. 18, and the appearance of the greeting card from the envelope is gradually displayed on the liquid crystal display panel 13, thereby further enhancing the expressiveness. It can be a rich display.

That is, in FIG. 18 (1), the delivery of an envelope to a post or the like at home is displayed in stages, and in FIG. 18 (2), the opening of the envelope is shown in stages. it's shown.

Then, in FIG. 18 (3), a greeting card is taken out from the opened envelope, and the state where the greeting card spreads to the full screen of the liquid crystal display panel 13 is displayed step by step. Finally, in FIG. 18 (4), the image of the card is displayed.

After the message card image is displayed as described above, the process returns to step B1 and waits for a call.

If it is determined in step B6 that the reset key has not been operated, the notification state remains for a certain period of time.
For example, wait for 20 seconds to stop the notification,
All the information indicating that there is a call, the information of the captured message card image, the code information designating the melody, etc. are written in the RAM 29 (step B8), and the process returns to the step B1 again to wait for the call.

With the above-described configuration and operation, the caller side selects or creates a card image of a greeting card (card) such as a Christmas card or a birthday card to create a caller name and a callee name. Since the card image can be displayed at the time of calling, the contact side can display not only the clerical matters, messages, etc., but also a variety of expressive messages with few information. It becomes possible to transmit in quantity.

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

For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the data of the card image created by the paging receiver 1A of the caller shown in FIGS. 12 to 15 is transferred to and stored in the paging receiver 1C on the receiving side, and then the call is sent. Paging receiver 1
When calling the paging receiver 1C on the receiving side from A, the card image is selected in the same manner as other pre-prepared card images with a card number for code designation. The data numbers of the illustration data that make up the data are individually transferred directly from the paging receiver 1A of the caller at the time of calling, and the paging receiver 1C on the receiving side assembles a new card image with the data number of the illustration data following the calling address. You may make it display it. Even in such a case, since the card image is not transferred as image data in dot units, it is possible to transfer with a relatively small amount of information.

The present invention is not limited to paging receivers using public lines, but can be applied to various types of receivers having a wireless communication function. That is, the present invention can be applied to a private paging receiver that does not use a public line, a toy with a communication function for communicating by infrared rays, a personal computer electronic notebook having a communication function, and other electronic calculation processing devices.
