In this case, the information conveyed to the owner of the portable receiving terminal is expressed in a simplified format called a ringtone, making it difficult for the owner of the portable receiving terminal to distinguish and recognize the contents of several types of received information. could not.

On the other hand, in recent years, in addition to a ringtone, the format of transmitting received information to the owner of a portable receiving terminal is to output the information content by voice, or to send letters or numbers to a display element such as a liquid crystal display element (hereinafter referred to as "LCD"). There is something to be conveyed by the output of . In these methods, the amount of information per piece of information is larger than in the method of transmitting the information content to the owner of the portable receiving terminal using a ring tone, so the frequency occupation time and the receiving time required for reception are longer.

In addition, the portable receiving terminal records the received code string in advance t=
There is also a method in which the message is expanded into a series of words, symbols, numbers, etc., and outputted by voice from a portable receiving terminal or by a display element such as an LCD. In this case, since the owner of the portable receiving terminal cannot change the series of words, symbols, numbers, etc. after being expanded, it is not possible to output a message unique to the individual carrying the portable receiving terminal.

[Problems to be Solved] As described above, the conventional method of outputting a plurality of types of information content by changing the tone of the ring tone has the disadvantage that the types of information that can be handled are limited to a few types.

In addition, the method of outputting each message by voice or display device such as an LCD has the drawback that the reception time for the portable receiving terminal is longer due to the large amount of received information, and the frequency usage efficiency is reduced. .

Furthermore, with the method in which the received code string is expanded into a series of words, symbols, numbers, etc. stored in advance by the portable receiving terminal and output, the owner of the portable receiving terminal cannot change the output format. It had the disadvantage that it could not handle messages specific to the individual owner of the receiving terminal.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and makes it possible to increase the types of information that can be handled.

It has a compact disk storage device that is removable from the terminal device main body, and is configured to expand received content consisting of a certain code string into words and sentences stored in the compact disk storage device and output it.

In addition, if necessary, it is equipped with an audio output device such as a speaker, and has a circuit for switching the audio output to an audio output from a device d such as headphones or earphones that outputs audio that only the recipient can hear. It can also be done.

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a blow diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a bandpass filter, 2 is a receiving circuit, 3 is a control circuit, and 4 is a compact disk storage device (hereinafter referred to as CD-
5 is a character display circuit, and 6 is an LCD. The CD-ROM 4, the character display circuit 5, and the LCD 6 are driven by control signals from the control circuit 3. CD-ROM
4 is removable from the main body of the portable receiving terminal, and contains words and sentences that allow the owner of the portable receiving terminal to identify the received content.
Symbols, numbers, etc. are stored in advance as messages,
The message is output to the character display circuit 5 under drive control from the control circuit 3.

That is, when the call information received through the band pass filter 1 and the receiving circuit 2 is input to the control circuit 3, the LCD 6 is blinked to notify the owner of the portable receiving terminal that the call information has been called. Thereafter, the control circuit 3 queries the message content of the CD-ROM 4 for the code string of the received information, and transfers the message corresponding to the received code string from the character display circuit 5 to the LC.
It is output to D6 and characters are displayed.

For example, the message corresponding to the code X is "Contact 10 companies", and the message corresponding to the code Z is "Contact Mr. H2f1" on the CD.
- Assume that it is stored in ROM4. At this time, the code X
When the message "Contact Company G" is received, the message "Contact Company G" is selected from the CD-ROM 4, outputted as a text display on the LCD 5, and displayed. On the other hand, if you receive the code Z, please contact Mr.
It is selected from the D-ROM 4, outputted as a character display to the LCD 5, and displayed as a single character.

If text other than the message content is stored in the CD-ROM 4, the control circuit 3 will display this text on the LCD.
6 can be output.

Text other than the message content may be stored in a different area on the CD-ROMA from where the message content is stored.Also, if call information is received while reading this text, It is sufficient if the reading is interrupted.

If the CD-ROM 4 is removed from the main body of the portable receiving terminal, the LCD 6 blinks to notify the owner of the portable receiving terminal that it has been called, and then receives a code string. The character display circuit 5 outputs the code number to the LCD 6 as a character display. The owner of the portable receiving terminal can check this code number using a message list or the like.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a second embodiment of the invention. A voice synthesizer 7 and a speaker 8 are provided in place of the character display circuit 5 and LCD 6 of the first embodiment.

That is, when the call information is received, a signal tone is output from the speaker 8 to notify the owner of the portable receiving terminal that the call has been made, and a code string is then received, and the control circuit 3 converts the message content into the CD-ROM 4. A message corresponding to the code string is outputted from the speaker 8 as synthesized speech by the speech synthesizer 7.

If a sentence other than the message content is stored in the CD-ROM 4, the control circuit 3 can convert this sentence into synthesized speech by the voice synthesizer 7 and output it from the speaker 8. If calling information is received while this text is being output as synthesized speech from the speaker 8, calling of texts other than the message content from the CD-ROM 4 may be interrupted.

The CD-ROM 4 can be easily removed from the main body of the portable receiving terminal as in the first embodiment, but if the CD-ROM 4 is removed from the main body of the portable receiving terminal, a signal tone will be heard to notify the speaker 8 that a call has been made. After transmitting the received code string to the owner of the portable receiving terminal, the control circuit 3 transmits the received code string to the holder of the portable receiving terminal.
It is converted into a base code number, and the voice synthesizer 7 outputs it from the speaker 8 as synthesized voice.

The fJSa diagram is a block diagram of a third embodiment of the present invention. An audio reproduction circuit 9 is provided in place of the audio synthesizer 7 of the second embodiment, and an amplifier circuit 10 is provided on the output side of the audio reproduction circuit 9.
．． A switch circuit 11 and headphones 12 are provided, both of which are driven and controlled by a control circuit 3.

That is, when the call information is received, a signal sound is output from the speaker 8 when the switch circuit 11 is connected to the terminal A, and from the headphones 12 when the switch circuit 11 is connected to the terminal a, indicating that the call has been made. The notification will be sent to the owner of the borrowed mobile receiving terminal. Thereafter, the received code string is controlled by the control circuit 3.
The content of the message recorded in the D-ROM 4 is inquired, and the message corresponding to the code string is reproduced by the audio reproduction circuit 9, and after being amplified by the amplifier circuit 10, it is output. At this time, if the switch circuit 11 is connected to the terminal a, the sound is output from the speaker 8, and if the switch circuit 11 is connected to the terminal a, the sound is output from the headphones 12.

Further, when audio other than the message content is recorded on the CD-ROM 4, the control circuit 3 allows the audio to be reproduced by the audio reproducing circuit 9, amplified by the amplifier circuit 1°, and output. At this time, if the switch circuit 11 is connected to the terminal a, the sound will be output from the speaker 8, and the sound will be output from the terminal a.
If it is connected to the headphones 12, the output will be output from the headphones 12. If call information is received while playing audio other than the message content, this playback may be interrupted.

The CD-ROM 4 is removable from the main body of the portable receiving terminal as in the first and second embodiments.

If the CD-ROM 4 is removed from the main body of the portable receiving terminal, a signal tone notifies the holder of the portable receiving terminal that it has been called. In this case, a signal sound is output from the speaker 8 when the switch circuit 11 is connected to the terminal a, and from the headphones 12 when the switch circuit 11 is connected to the terminal a.

When receiving a code string, a signal tone having a tone different from that when called by the control circuit 3 may be output. In this case, the signal sound is output from the speaker 8 when the switch circuit 11 is connected to the terminal a, and from the headphones 12 when the switch circuit 11 is connected to the terminal a.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention receives multiple types of information as code strings, and expands this from the main body of the portable receiving terminal to a message stored in a compact CD-ROM. This makes it possible to increase the types of information that can be handled, shorten the frequency occupation time required to receive information, and allow the owner of a portable receiving terminal to replace the CD-ROM himself/herself. This makes it possible to output a message unique to the individual owner of the portable receiving terminal.

It also has a larger memory capacity compared to conventional ROM,
A CD that allows random access unlike magnetic tape.
Since it uses ROM, it is possible to output text and audio other than the expanded message content by storing the text and audio in a different area from where the message content is stored. This allows receivers, owners of mobile reception terminals, to obtain more information in free format, makes more effective use of limited frequency resources, increases subscriber capacity, and improves mobile reception. This has the effect of expanding services provided by terminals.

Furthermore, by outputting audio from headphones, earphones, etc., it is possible to eliminate the possibility that the received content will be known to anyone other than the two recipients.
