Abstract

PURPOSE:To confirm its own selective call number and a wait number of persons locally by applying wait person number display to a receiver. CONSTITUTION:A called receiver 2-y registered by a transmitter 1 displays a selective call number on a selection number display section 25a of a display section 25, and displays it on a wait person number display section 25b while summing number of waiting persons in the order of registration. As soon as a call data (e.g., 16) is sent from the transmitter 1, the wait person number data (e.g., 1) is also sent, a call is sent to a receiver 2-z whose selective call number is coincident by an annunciation section 24 and the number of the wait person number display 25b is changed (e.g., from 1 to 0). When plural other receivers 2-y (receiver whose selective call number is not coincident) receive a specific signal for wait person number, the number is subtracted from the wait person number data at initial registration, and the result is displayed on the wait number display section 25b. Thus, its own call number is subtracted from a person waiting n-person number and it is confirmed that the person is called at the n-th time by the display section 25 of the receiver 2.

All the receivers 2-y that have registered the call data receive the radio signal transmitted by the transmission Ja1 through the reception antenna 21.
After being received and demodulated by the receiving unit 22, the CPU
The data is input to the U system 3 and compared with the calling data stored in the CPU system section 2, but only the called receiver 2-z can detect a match. When the receiver 'l-z detects a match, the receiver unit 24 makes a notification sound and displays a notification to notify the called person of the call. Further, the receiving device 2-y detects only the waiting number specific signal emitted from the transmission a1, and subtracts it from the number on the waiting number display section 25b of the display section 25 and displays it.

The operator receives the called receiver 2-z carried by the called person and registers the transmitter 1.

The erasure data output section 16 and the registration and erasure data input section 26 of the receiver 2-z are connected, and the key manual section 11 is used to register the erasure data set in advance. Receiver 2-2 is transmitter 1
By manually inputting the erase data output from the controller, the call data and waiting number data are erased, and the next registered data is waited for.

Next, referring to FIG. 4, a description will be given of the waiting number display and subtraction system of the present invention.

The called receiver 2-y registered in the transmitter 1 displays the selective calling number on the selective number display section 25a of the display section 25,
While adding up the number of people waiting in the order of registration, the number of people waiting display section 25
At the same time as the calling data (for example, 16) is transmitted from the 0th transmission Ill displayed in b, the waiting number data (for example, 1) is also transmitted, and the receiver 2- with which the selected calling number matches.
z is notified of the call by the notification unit 24, and the number on the waiting person display 25b changes (from 1 to 0, for example).

At that time, when the other plurality of receivers 2-y (receivers whose selective calling numbers do not match) receive the waiting number specification signal, they are subtracted from the waiting number data at the time of initial registration, and the waiting number display section 25b- C will be displayed.

(For example, the waiting number display 25b of the receiving Ia2-y whose selective calling number is 17 changes from 2 to 1.) From the above, the number of people waiting for n people will be subtracted from their own calls until they are called for the nth time. is displayed by the display unit 25 of the receiver 2.
