[0029]
The antenna 2 is a receiving device that receives a modulated wave (address data, message data, etc.) transmitted wirelessly from a transmission base station (service center) (not shown) and outputs the modulated wave to the receiving unit 3. Under the control of the decoder unit 4, the function of intermittently driving in the time slot of the self frame set by the frame data of the ID data, detecting and demodulating the signal received by the antenna 2, and outputting to the decoder unit 4 Have. The ID-ROM 5 is a memory for registering data such as address data set in the pager and frame data indicating intermittent reception timing. The decoder unit 4 collates the call number data (address data) input from the receiving unit 3 with the address data registered in the ID-ROM 5, and outputs a match signal to the CPU 1 when they match. The receiving unit 3 has a function of controlling the receiving operation to be continued. The key input unit 6 is an operation input device including a dialer key, a numeric keypad, a mode key, a select key, a setting key, a power switch, and the like, and outputs signals associated with various operations to the CPU 1.
[0030]
The dialer buffer 8 is a memory for temporarily storing call number data and transmission data for generating a DTMF signal, and these data are supplied from the CPU 1. The DTMF signal generator 9 generates a DTMF signal corresponding to the call number and transmission data stored in the dialer buffer 8 and outputs it to the amplifier 10 under the control of the CPU 1. The amplifier 10 amplifies the input DTMF signal and outputs the amplified DTMF signal to the speaker 11. The speaker 11 outputs the DTMF signal output from the amplifier 10 to a transmitter of a terminal such as a telephone (not shown). . The dialer buffer 8, the DTMF signal generator 9, and the amplifier 10 can obtain a transmission system configuration for calling the destination pager.
[0031]
The sound signal generator 12 receives a drive signal from the CPU 1 according to the control of the CPU 1, generates a sound signal, and outputs it to the amplifier 13. The amplifier 13 amplifies the sound signal output from the sound signal generator 12 and outputs the amplified sound signal to the speaker 14. The speaker 14 amplifies and outputs the sound based on the amplified sound signal.
[0032]
The blinking pattern signal generation unit 15 receives a drive signal from the CPU 1 according to the control of the CPU 1, generates a blinking pattern signal, and outputs this to the amplifier 16. The amplifier 16 amplifies the blinking pattern signal input from the blinking pattern signal generation unit 15 and outputs the amplified blinking pattern signal to the LED 17 that is a light emitting element. The LED 17 is driven to blink based on the amplified blinking pattern signal.
[0033]
The character generator 18 receives a character code from the CPU 1, generates a character pattern, and develops it as display data in the display buffer 20. The display buffer 19 inputs display data such as graphics from the CPU 1, Character display data is input from the generator 18 to develop a bitmap, and this is output to the display unit 20. The display unit 20 is driven to display based on display data stored in the display buffer 19 to form display images such as characters (including numbers) and figures. As the display unit 20, for example, a display element such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an EL (Electro Luminescent) is suitable.
[0034]
Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining a transmission process according to this embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining a reception process according to this embodiment. 6 to 8 are diagrams showing display examples when a message is received.
[0035]
When the pager 1 functions as a transmission-side terminal, transmission processing is executed as in the flowchart shown in FIG. As a pre-process for this transmission process, it is assumed that the transmission mode is selected after the power is turned on.
[0036]
When the transmission mode is entered, the transmission pager 1 starts to generate a transmission message. This is executed in step S1, a transmission message is created by key operation of the key input unit 6, and the transmission message data is stored in the RAM 7B. In this transmission message creation, a standard message message is created using the message message table 72 shown in FIG. 3, or a free word conversion table provided in the ROM 7A (not shown) is used, as in the normal pager creation operation. It is possible to create a free word message message.
[0037]
Thus, when a transmission message is created in step S1, a call number is selected in subsequent step S2. This call number is selected from the name table 71 by a key operation of the key input unit 6, and call number data indicating the call number is temporarily stored in the dialer buffer 8.
[0038]
Then, when the key operation of the dialer key is detected in the subsequent step S3, the process proceeds to step S4, and the calling process is performed. When operating the dialer key, the user puts the speaker 11 toward a transmitter of a terminal such as a telephone (not shown), and the call number that is amplified from the speaker 11 is collected by the transmitter. Set as you can. In the pager 1, the DTMF signal generator 9 takes in the call number data temporarily stored in the dialer buffer 8 and generates a DTMF signal according to the control of the CPU 1 in accordance with the key operation of the dialer key. Then, a process of outputting a loud sound via the speaker 11 is executed. This loud sound is collected by a transmitter, and the sound is converted into an electric signal at a terminal and sent to a service center of a paging system (not shown) via a telephone line connected to the terminal.
[0039]
When line connection with the service center is established in response to the call processing (step S4), a guidance response is made to the terminal (step S5).
[0040]
Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S6, and it is determined again whether or not the dialer key is operated. Here, if a key operation of the dialer key is detected, the process proceeds to step S7. Even when the dialer key is operated, the user places the speaker 11 toward the transmitter of a terminal such as a telephone (not shown), and the transmission data amplified from the speaker 11 is collected in the transmitter. Set it to sound. In the pager 1, the owner name data created in advance by the key operation and stored in the name table 71 of the RAM 7 B in response to the key operation of the dialer key is read out as the sender name data, and the dialer buffer 8 is temporarily stored. In the DTMF signal generator 9, under the control of the CPU 1, processing is performed in which the sender name data temporarily stored in the dialer buffer 8 is taken to generate a DTMF signal, and this is output loudly via the amplifier 10 and the speaker 11. The This loud sound is collected by the transmitter, and the sound is converted into an electric signal at the terminal and sent to a service center of a paging system (not shown) via a telephone line connected to the terminal (step S7).
[0041]
Subsequently, similarly to the case of the sender name described above, the transmission message data created in step S1 and stored in the RAM 7B is read and temporarily stored in the dialer buffer 8. In the DTMF signal generator 9, under the control of the CPU 1, processing is performed in which the transmission message data temporarily stored in the dialer buffer 8 is taken to generate a DTMF signal, and this is output through the amplifier 10 and the speaker 11. . This loud sound is collected by the transmitter, and the sound is converted into an electrical signal at the terminal and sent to a service center of a paging system (not shown) via a telephone line connected to the terminal (step S8).
[0042]
As described above, when the sender name and the transmission message are transmitted to the service center, the service center converts the call number into a radio wave and selectively calls the destination pager having the call number. And the transmission message are transmitted wirelessly.
[0043]
When the pager 1 is not functioning as a transmission-side terminal, normally, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, a reception standby state is set and reception processing is executed. As a pre-process of this reception process, it is assumed that the transmission mode is not selected after the power is turned on.
[0044]
When the incoming pager 1 detects an incoming call in the incoming call waiting state (steps S21 and S22), the message is received as usual, and the sender name data and the received message data sent from the transmitting side pager 1 are stored in the RAM 7B. Is stored in the empty data bank (step S23). Thereafter, in step S24, in order to count the duration of the notification operation, the timer is driven and time measurement is started.
[0045]
  In the subsequent step S25, as a memory check, the received message data stored in the empty data bank of the RAM 7B is compared with the received message data already received in the past and stored in the name table 71. As a result, when the received message data having the same content as the received message data is not stored (step S26), the process proceeds to step S32, and the LED 17 is blinked and displayed from the speaker 14 as usual. An incoming call notification to the owner of the receiving pager 1 is performed by outputting a sound or displaying a received message. For example, when a message message “gather in Shinjuku” is sent from a person with the sender name “Sato”, as shown in FIG. 6, a message based on the received message “gather in Shinjuku” data is displayed on the display unit 20. The message “Gather in Shinjuku” MSG1 is displayed, and in the upper row, the sender name “Sato” 100 based on the sender name “Sato” data and the same name “Sato” as the sender name “Sato” Group name “tennis circle” 200 based on the group name “tennis circle” data stored in the name table 71.TogaIs displayed.
[0046]
As a result, the owner of the receiving pager 1 is a friend of the company from the message message “gather in Shinjuku” MSG1, the sender name “Sato” 100, and the group name “tennis circle” 200 displayed on the display unit 20. It can be confirmed that Mr. Sato has received a message to gather in Shinjuku.
[0047]
The normal notification is continuously performed. However, a key operation for stopping the notification is detected in step S30, or a predetermined time has elapsed since time measurement was started in step S24 in step S36 (time up). Is confirmed, the process proceeds from step S30 to step S31, and from step S36 to step S37. In either case, the notification is stopped and the process is terminated.
[0048]
If received message data having the same content as the received message data is stored (step S26), the process proceeds to step S27. In these steps S27 and S28, the sender name data stored in the empty data bank of the RAM 7B is read, and the same sender sends both received messages determined to have the same contents with reference to the name column of the name table 71. A determination is made whether or not
[0049]
In step S28, when it is confirmed that the received message is from the same sender, the process proceeds to step S29, and re-reception processing for notifying that re-reception has occurred is executed. For example, in the past, a message message “Gather in Shibuya” was received from a person with the sender name “Yamada”, and the received message “Gather in Shibuya” data was stored corresponding to the name “Yamada” data. In this case, when a message message “Gather in Shibuya” is sent again from the same sender “Yamada” this time, the received message “Gather in Shibuya” data and the received message “Shibuya in Shibuya” Both “collected” data and the message message table 72 are referred to, and it is determined that the identification information corresponds to “a”. This is a relationship in which the message messages have the same content.
[0050]
Accordingly, in step S26, a determination result is obtained that there is received message “collected in Shibuya” data having the same content as the current received message “gathered in Shibuya” data. In subsequent step S27, a received message “with the same content” If you check the name field corresponding to the “Set in Shibuya” data, the sender name “Yamada” data is obtained, and the sender name “Yamada” data and the sender corresponding to the current received message “Gather in Shibuya” data Since it matches the name “Yamada” data (step S28), it is judged that a message message having the same content is sent again from the same sender “Yamada”.
[0051]
In such a case, the re-reception process in step S29 described above is executed, and it is assumed that a message with the same content has arrived from the same sender, and as shown in FIG. Message MSG2 is displayed, and the sender name “Yamada” 101 (based on the sender name “Yamada” data) indicating the person who sent the message again is displayed on the top of the message message. A note “recall” 300 (based on data stored in the ROM 7A in advance) and a group name “ski circle” 201 (group name “ski circle” to which the retransmitted person belongs are shown. "Based on data").
[0052]
As a result, the owner of the receiving pager 1 receives the message message “gather in Shibuya” MSG2, the sender name “Yamada” 101, the notice “recall”, and the group name “ski circle” displayed on the display unit 20. From 201, it can be confirmed that the message that Mr. Yamada of the ski circle gathered in Shibuya arrived again with the same content.
[0053]
This message of the same content and notification by the same sender are also continuously carried out. However, a key operation for stopping the notification is detected in step S30, or time measurement is started in step S24 in step S36. When a certain time elapses (time up) is confirmed, the process proceeds from step S30 to step S31, and from step S36 to step S37. In either case, the notification is stopped and the process is terminated.
[0054]
If it is confirmed in step S28 that the received message is not from the same sender, the process proceeds to step S33, and the sender who has transmitted a past received message having the same content transmits the current received message. A determination is made whether the sender is in the same group. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a message “Gather in Shibuya” has arrived in the past from the person “Yamada”, and the received message “Gather in Shibuya” corresponding to the name “Yamada” data. If the data has already been stored, this time, if the message message “Meeting in Shibuya” is sent from the person “Suzuki” who belongs to the same group as the sender “Yamada”, it has already been stored. Of the received message “gather in Shibuya” (sender name “Yamada”) and the currently received message “gather in Shibuya” data (sender name “Suzuki”) Also, it is determined that the identification information corresponds to “a”. This is a relationship in which the message messages have the same content.
[0055]
Therefore, in step S26, a determination result is obtained that there is a received message “gather in Shibuya” data having the same content as the current received message “gather in Shibuya” data, and in the subsequent step S27, a received message “ If you check the name field corresponding to the “Collected in Shibuya” data, the sender name “Yamada” data is obtained, and the sender name “Yamada” data and the sender corresponding to this received message “Gathering in Shibuya” data Since the data does not match the name “Suzuki” data (step S 28), the message message of the same content is sent again from the person with the sender name “Yamada”, followed by the person with the sender name “Suzuki”. Is determined to have been sent.
[0056]
In such a case, by checking the group name field in the above-described step S33, it is determined that the persons “Yamada” and “Suzuki” belong to the same group, and the reception process in the subsequent step S34 is performed. As shown in FIG. 8, the message message “Gather in Shibuya” MSG3 is displayed on the display unit 20, as shown in FIG. In the upper row, the message name “Yamada” 101 (based on the data of the sender name “Yamada”) indicating the person who sent the message message “gathered in Shibuya” MSG2 last time, and the message message with the same content are sent again. The sender name “Suzuki” 102 (based on the sender name “Suzuki” data) and the common group name “Ski” to which both the previous and current persons belong. Circle "201 (group name" ski Circle "is based on the data) is displayed.
[0057]
As a result, the owner of the receiving pager 1 receives the message message “Set in Shibuya” MSG3, the previous sender name “Yamada” 101, the current sender name “Suzuki” 102, and From the common group name “Ski Circle” 201, it can be confirmed that the message that the school friend Mr. Yamada and then Mr. Suzuki gathered in Shibuya arrived again with the same content.
[0058]
This message of the same content and notification in the same group are also continuously carried out. However, after the key operation for stopping the notification is detected in step S30, or time measurement is started in step S24 in step S36. When the passage of a certain time (time up) is confirmed, the process proceeds from step S30 to step S31, and from step S36 to step S37. In either case, the notification is stopped and the process is terminated.
[0059]
If it is determined in step S26 that a received message having the same content is not received from the same sender but received from the same group (step S28). , S33), the process proceeds to step S35, and the message message, the sender name, and the group name are displayed on the display unit 20 in the same manner as the normal notification shown in FIG. Is controlled to end.
[0060]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a message is received, the identity of the received message and a past received message is determined, and when there is the same content in the past, the same Since the broadcast was changed by looking at the group relationship with the sender with the message of the content, the relationship between the sender and the received message became clear from the difference in the broadcast, and the same content from multiple senders It is possible to easily inform whether or not the message is from the same group.
[0061]
Even if the sender of the received message is the same as the sender of the same message in the past or the notification is different depending on whether it is a common group, the relationship between the sender and the received message is notified. It becomes clear from the difference.
[0062]
In the name table 71 shown in FIG. 2, for the group name data, the sender belongs to one group. However, the sender may belong to a plurality of groups. In this case, the group name data In this column, a plurality of group name data is stored.
[0063]
Further, in step S7 of the transmission process shown in FIG. 4, the sender name is transmitted. However, any information can be used as long as it is possible to identify the transmission source in the same manner as the sender name data on the receiving side. Instead of the sender name data, the telephone number data registered in advance in the RAM 7B or the like may be transmitted. In this case, in the reception process (see FIG. 5) of the receiving pager 1, in step S27, the matching telephone from the name table 71 shown in FIG. 2 is used based on the received telephone number data instead of the sender name data. It is only necessary to retrieve the number and obtain group name data stored corresponding to the matched telephone number.
[0064]
Further, in step S7 of the transmission process shown in FIG. 4, the group name data stored in the name table 71 corresponding to the calling number selected in step S2 is sent together with the sender name or own telephone number. You may make it transmit. In this case, in the receiving process of the receiving pager 1 (see FIG. 5), the identity of the group can be determined directly from the received group name data in step S33, and the process is simplified. There is no need to look up the group name.
[0065]
Further, in the present embodiment, the case of receiving the standard message has been described. However, it is determined whether or not the received message having the same content is stored by receiving a message using normal character data or free words. It may be.
[0066]
In the reception process shown in FIG. 5, in the above-described embodiment, when there is no message message with the same content in the past and there is a new message message, there is a message message with the same content in the past and the sender is the same. If there is a message message with the same content in the past and the group to which the sender belongs is a common group, the display form is changed as shown in FIGS. Although the notification method is used, the notification sound may be distinguished by different sounds corresponding to each case instead of the change of the display form, or different notification sounds corresponding to the change of the display form. May be output.
[0067]
In the present embodiment, the received message is stored in association with the name data matching the sender name. However, a plurality of received messages may be stored in the order of arrival regardless of the name table.
[0068]
In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the senders who have transmitted the same message are the same caller and the same group. It is also possible to determine only whether or not they are in the same group without determining whether or not they are present (in this case, steps S27 to S29 are omitted in the flowchart of FIG. 5, and yes in step S26). If (YES), go to step S33).
[0069]
In the present embodiment, the group to which the sender of the message belongs is fixed. However, for example, a name table can be used to cope with a temporary group (for example, a group that goes to the sea together tomorrow). Instead of the group name field, a flag field may be provided so that people who are flagged by a predetermined key operation by the owner can be determined as the same group (another method is simply to enter the group name field). The group name may be rewritten by a predetermined key operation of the owner.
[0070]
In this embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to the paging system has been described. However, the present invention may be applied to a network system that receives caller notification information from a database in the network. .
[0071]
  in this way,Since the sender of the received message is the same as the one that sent the same message in the past or the common group, the display and notification sound are different, so the relationship between the sender and the received message is It becomes clear from the difference in display and the like, and when a message having the same content is sent from a plurality of senders, it is possible to easily inform whether or not the message is from the same group.
[0072]
【The invention's effect】
  As explained aboveClaim 1 or 7According to the described invention,When there is information reception,The message included in the received informationAnd the past received messages are judged, and when there is the same content in the past, the group relationship with the sender having the same content message is seen and notified, so from the common group When it is clarified by notification that it is a received message, and a message having the same content is sent from a plurality of senders, it is possible to easily notify whether the message is from the same group.Information receiving apparatus or reception notification methodThere is an effect that can be obtained.Also, since the information specifying the sender and the group data are stored in association with each other, it is determined whether or not the received messages having the same content belong to a common group based on the information specifying the sender. There is an effect that an information receiving apparatus or a reception notification method that can be easily determined can be obtained.
[0073]
  According to the invention described in claim 2, in the invention described in claim 1, when the message addressed to itself is received normally, the message having the same content as the message received in the past is from the common group. Since the notification is different depending on the case, it is clear from the difference between the normal notification that the received message is from the common group, and when the same content message is sent from multiple senders , It is possible to easily inform whether the message is from the same group or notInformation receiverThere is an effect that can be obtained.
[0074]
  According to the third aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the notification is made different depending on whether the sender of the received message is the same as the one having transmitted the same message in the past or the common group. Even so, when the relationship between the sender and the received message becomes clear from the difference in notification and multiple messages with the same content are sent, they are messages from the same group or the same transmission It is possible to easily tell if it is a message from a personInformation receiverThere is an effect that can be obtained.
[0075]
  According to the invention described in claim 4, in the invention described in claim 2 or 3, it is displayed according to whether the sender of the received message is the same as a message having the same content transmitted in the past or a common group Even if they are made different, it is possible to obtain an information receiving apparatus that can clarify the relationship between the sender and the received message from the difference in display.
[0076]
  According to the invention described in claim 5, in the invention described in claim 2 or 3, notification is made according to whether the sender of the received message is the same as a message having the same content in the past or a common group. Even if the sound is different, there is an effect that it is possible to obtain an information receiving apparatus that can clarify the relationship between the sender and the received message from the difference in the notification sound.
[0077]
  According to the sixth or eighth aspect of the invention, when a message is received, the group relationship of the sender is seen and notified, so that it is clear from the notification that the received message is from the common group. Thus, when a message is sent from a plurality of senders, an information receiving apparatus or a reception notification method capable of easily informing whether or not the message is from the same group can be obtained. In addition, since the information specifying the sender and the group data are stored in association with each other, it is easy to determine whether the received message belongs to a common group based on the information specifying the sender. It is possible to obtain an information receiving apparatus or a reception notification method that can be performed.
