【Example】
An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a paging receiver applied to a paging service will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows the external configuration of the paging receiver 1. The paging receiver 1 has a key input unit 2 and a display unit 3 connected via a hinge unit 4, and these can be folded in two.
[0010]
The key input unit 2 has numeric keys 2a, set keys 2b, select keys 2c, and mode keys 2d as various operation keys. Here, the numeric keys 2a have "*" keys and "#" keys in addition to "1" to "0" keys corresponding to the dial keys of the telephone, and these keys indicate input data. ing. The set key 2b is for instructing a setting operation when performing a setting operation in various modes. The select key 2c performs a selection operation in each mode. The mode key 2d can select a transmission message creation mode, a time setting mode, a sound switching mode, or the like according to the number of operations.
[0011]
The display unit 3 has a message display unit 3a composed of a liquid crystal display panel. Here, the display unit 3 is composed of segments for displaying a message message and a portrait message composed of an illustration of a human face as shown in the figure. The message display section 3a of the display section 3 can use another display element as a display means, and for example, can use an EL display, a plasma display, or the like. The human face displayed as a portrait message can be displayed on a dot matrix display unit. In this case, the portrait message is displayed in a dot pattern for each part.
[0012]
The display unit 3 is provided with a power-on switch 3b, a reset switch 3c, and a speaker 3d separately from the message display unit 3a. The power-on switch 3b and the reset switch 3c are both provided on the side surface of the display unit 3 and can be operated even when the key input unit 2 and the display unit 3 are folded in two. The speaker 3d is provided at two sides on the same side of the message display unit 3a in front of the display unit 3 near the side of the display unit 3 having the same opening as the power-on switch 3b and the reset switch 3c. When the key input unit 2 and the display unit 3 are folded in two, the output sound can be heard slightly, and when the key input unit 2 and the display unit 3 are open, the output sound can be sufficiently heard. It has become.
[0013]
FIG. 2 shows a schematic configuration of a circuit provided in the paging receiver 1. In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes an antenna. The antenna 11 is connected to an RF receiving unit 12, and the RF receiving unit 12 is connected to a decoder unit 13. It is connected to the CPU 14 via the CPU. The RF receiver 12 demodulates the data received by the antenna 11.
[0014]
The decoder unit 13 is connected to an ID-ROM 15, which stores an ID code individually assigned to the paging receiver 1, specifically, frame data and address data. The ID code is provided to the decoder unit 13 at the time of input. The decoder unit 13 intermittently drives the RF receiving unit 12 based on the ID code fetched from the ID-ROM 15, decodes the calling signal demodulated by the RF receiving unit 12, and determines that this matches the ID code. The match detection signal and the subsequently received message data are sent to the CPU 14.
[0015]
The CPU 14 is connected to a vibrator 16, an LED 17, a ROM 18, a RAM 19, and a voice information ROM 20, in addition to the key input unit 2, the message display unit 3a, and the speaker 3d.
[0016]
Under the control of the CPU 14, the speaker 3d outputs voice data converted from the D / A converter 21 after being output from the CPU 14 or sound data directly transmitted from the CPU 14 to a driver (referred to as "DV" in the figure). A sound effect or a ringing tone prepared in advance is output by outputting a loudspeaker via a signal 22).
[0017]
Similarly, the vibrator 16 vibrates the calling state by a signal from the CPU 14 via the driver 23, and the LED 18 outputs the calling state by blinking light by the signal from the CPU 14 via the driver 24.
[0018]
The ROM 18 stores a control program prepared for the CPU 14 in advance, and also stores a fixed phrase table, an emotion message table, and the like.
Here, as shown in FIG. 3, when the message data includes the fixed phrase designation data in the message data, as shown in FIG. 3, the fixed phrase table is displayed on the message display unit 3a in accordance with the fixed phrase number (No.) immediately following the fixed phrase designation data. The display contents of the displayed fixed phrase message and the fixed phrase number are stored in association with the fixed phrase number. For example, the fixed phrase message “Kinkyu” is obtained with the fixed phrase number “01”, and the fixed phrase number “02” is obtained. A fixed phrase message "TEL SEYO" is obtained.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 4, when the message data contains incoming phrase data, when the message data includes the phrase data, as shown in FIG. Each of the illustration data of the expression patterns that are repeatedly switched and displayed is stored in association with the illustration number (No.). For example, if the illustration number “21” is designated, the illustration data of the expression pattern corresponding to this is displayed. I am trying to get it.
[0020]
As shown in FIG. 5, when the incoming message is displayed, the voice information ROM 20 outputs voice information output from the speaker 3d simultaneously with the switching display of the emotion message, specifically, sound effect information such as explosion sound and environmental sound. Whether this audio information is sudden, such as explosion sounds, collision sounds, chimes, horns, etc., or is relatively continuous output, such as sirens, music boxes, musical information, etc. In this case, the output mode is classified and stored. Here, the number for classifying the output mode corresponding to the sudden voice information is “1”, and the relatively continuous same number is “2”. I remember.
[0021]
As shown in the memory map of FIG. 6, the RAM 19 includes a moving image pattern storage area DM for storing a moving image pattern described later, and a message storage area MM for storing incoming message data.
[0022]
As shown in FIG. 7, the moving image pattern storage area DM stores three illustration numbers for repeatedly switching and displaying three patterns of illustrations in the order of a, b, and c in correspondence with a specific fixed phrase number. In addition, a flag for determining whether or not output of audio information is designated when displaying the moving image, an address number of the audio information ROM 20 for reading out specific audio information from the audio information ROM 20, and a , B, and c, respectively, and output timing information for designating which of the three types of illustrations is to be output at the timing at which the read audio information is output.
[0023]
Next, a control operation of the CPU 14 when the paging receiver 1 receives a radio signal transmitted from a transmission base station (not shown) will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG.
[0024]
When the power is turned on by operating the power-on switch 3b of the display unit 3, the reception mode is set and the RF reception unit 12 is driven.
First, from an intermittent incoming call waiting state (step S1), a call signal included in a received signal received by the RF receiving unit 12 via the antenna 11 and demodulated by the decoder unit 13 is provided from the ID-ROM 15. Collation is performed with an ID code individually assigned to the paging receiver 1. Only when these match, it is determined whether or not the CPU 14 has detected a coincidence signal accompanying the incoming call signal transmitted from the decoder unit 13. (Step S2).
[0025]
If detected, the CPU 14 instructs the decoder unit 13 to continuously receive the reception signal, takes in the data following the calling signal, and stores it in the message storage memory area MM of the RAM 19 (step S3). Then, it is determined whether or not the fetched content has message data (step S4).
[0026]
Here, if it is determined that the message data does not continue, only the incoming call notification accompanying the incoming call signal is performed (step S10). FIG. 12 shows a display example in a case where only an incoming call notification accompanying a call signal is performed.
[0027]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4 that message data follows the call signal, it is determined whether or not the captured message data has a moving image pattern display designation, for example, fixed phrase designation data such as "* 4 * 4" at the beginning. "And a fixed phrase number, and it is determined whether or not three illustration numbers are stored in the moving image pattern storage area DM of the RAM 19 corresponding to the fixed phrase number (step S5).
[0028]
If it is determined that there is no moving image pattern display designation, first, an incoming call notification is performed, and after a certain period of time, this incoming notification is reset, and then the received message data, for example, a fixed phrase message based on the fixed phrase number is output. As shown in FIG. 3, the data is read from the ROM 18 and displayed on the message display section 3a.
[0029]
FIG. 11 exemplifies a display using only a fixed phrase message when there is no display designation of a moving image pattern, and a fixed phrase message "Sugnik" is displayed on the message display unit 3a corresponding to the fixed phrase number "11". .
[0030]
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S5 that the moving image pattern is designated for display, for example, three illustration numbers are stored in the moving image pattern storage area MM of the RAM 19 corresponding to the received fixed phrase number, the moving image pattern of the RAM 19 is determined. It is determined whether or not to output audio information based on whether or not the flag corresponding to the fixed phrase number in the storage area DM is "1" (step S6).
[0031]
If the flag is "0" instead of "1" and it is determined that voice information is not to be output, an incoming call notification is made, and after a certain period of time, the incoming call notification is reset, and then the received message is output. As shown in FIG. 3, a message based on the fixed phrase based on the data is read from the ROM 18 and displayed on the message display section 3a, and at the same time, the illustration number corresponding to the fixed phrase number is read from the moving image pattern storage area DM, and the read illustration number is read. With reference to the illustration data in the moving image pattern storage area DM shown in FIG. 4, the message display unit 3a repeatedly executes the switching display sequentially (step S8).
[0032]
FIG. 10 illustrates a message display state on the message display unit 3a when audio information is not output. In this case, the fixed phrase number of the received message data is “02”, the corresponding message “TEL SEYO” is read from the ROM 18 and displayed on the message display unit 3a, and at the same time, the corresponding three illustrations are read from the moving image pattern storage area DM. The numbers "23", "21", and "24" are read, and the illustration data is referred to by the read illustration numbers, and the message display section 3a displays the message display section 3a as shown in FIG. a) → FIG. 10 (b) → ‥‥.
[0033]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S6 that the flag corresponding to the set phrase number is “1” and it is determined that voice information is to be output, an incoming call notification is performed in the same manner as in step S8, and an elapse of a predetermined time period is performed. After resetting the incoming call notification later, the fixed phrase message based on the received message data is read from the ROM 18 and displayed on the message display unit 3a, and the illustration number corresponding to the fixed phrase number is read from the moving image pattern storage area DM. Referring to the illustration data in the moving image pattern storage area DM shown in FIG. 4 based on the read illustration number, the message display unit 3a repeatedly executes the switching display in the order of a, b, and c, and simultaneously further executes the moving image pattern storage area DM. From the audio information ROM 20 in accordance with the output timing data of the It reads the audio information of the scan, and the analog of the D / A converter 21 to sound output from the speaker 3d (step S7).
[0034]
FIG. 9 illustrates a message display state on the message display section 3a when outputting voice information. In this case, the fixed phrase number of the received message data is “18”, the corresponding message “OK death” is read from the ROM 18 and displayed on the message display unit 3a, and at the same time, the fixed phrase number “18” is read from the moving image pattern storage area DM. 9 are read from the three illustration numbers "22", "25", and "26" corresponding to ".", And referring to the illustration data based on the read illustration numbers, in the message display section 3a as shown in FIG. (C) → FIG. 9 (a) → FIG. 9 (b) → ‥‥.
[0035]
Further, at the display timing shown in FIG. 9C, “Sound information # 4” stored at the address from the sound information ROM 20 by the sound information ROM address “04” read from the moving image pattern storage area DM at the same time. Is read out, and is analogized by the D / A converter 21 in accordance with the output timing “c” read from the moving image pattern storage area DM, and when the illustration number “26” is displayed, sound is output from the speaker 3d.
[0036]
In this case, since the output form of the audio information read from the audio information ROM 20 is “1”, the audio information is assumed to be sudden and the audio information is output only at that output timing in accordance with the output timing read from the moving image pattern storage area DM. However, the output mode of the audio information read from the audio information ROM 20 is “2”, that is, the audio information is continuous, and a specific output timing is specified in the moving image pattern storage area DM. In this case, the sound is continuously output based on the sound information, and the volume is controlled to be particularly increased at the designated output timing.
[0037]
However, after executing any one of the reception processes in steps S7 to S10 and confirming the incoming call notification by operating the reset switch 3c or the like, and ending the process, the process returns to the process from step S1 again. Wait for the next incoming call.
[0038]
Note that, for example, a symbol mark SB in the message display section 3a shown in FIG. 13 may be provided as a segment, and displayed in accordance with the output timing of the voice information, to further change the display of the emotion message.
[0039]
In the above embodiment, the message display section 3a of the display section 3 is described as being constituted by a liquid crystal display panel. However, for example, an EL backlight is provided in combination with the entire liquid crystal display panel, and hatching in FIG. As shown, the display of the message may be further changed by turning on the backlight in accordance with the output timing of the audio information.
[0040]
Further, the form of the transmission data is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and illustration designation data is provided in addition to the fixed phrase designation data, and after this data, a plurality of illustration numbers and address numbers of audio information are transmitted simultaneously. The storage contents of the RAM 19 may be changed or updated by a predetermined key operation of the key input unit 2.
[0041]
Furthermore, voice information may be used for notification of an incoming call.
Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately modified and implemented without changing the gist. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the portrait pattern is used as the illustration pattern. However, the illustration pattern is not limited to the state of the human face, and may be a copy of the state of another living body or object.
[0042]
In addition, the present invention is not limited to a paging receiver using a public line, and is applied to various types of receiving apparatuses 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 having a communication function, an electronic organizer, and other electronic computing devices.
[0043]
