Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily confirm large amount of personal data by writing the personal data altogether in an idle area of an E<2>PROM when a channel data is programmed through the utilization of the idle area and reading the data as required. CONSTITUTION:A program 6 is written in an E<2>PROM 5, and when an input device 7 or a display 8 is connected to a relevant radio equipment for the purpose of a check of the radio equipment or the like and read in a main memory of a CPU 4 from the PROM 5 to control data input and output. An idle area 5a of the PROM storing the channel data is used and when the channel data is programmed by the device 7, a personal data such as serial number, manufacture lot number, manufacture data specific to the radio equipment, version of the ROM and history of check is written altogether. Then the data is read out as required and displayed on the devise 8 to easily confirm the personal data regardless of the presence of a nameplate.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a personal data confirmation method for a radio device for confirming personal data to be written on the nameplate of the radio device.

[Prior Art] FIGS. 2 and 3 are diagrams for explaining a conventional personal data confirmation method for confirming this type of personal data, respectively. In each figure, (1) indicates the main body of the radio, (2 )
is the lid that covers the radio body, and (3) is the nameplate attached to the lid (2).

As shown in Fig. 2, the conventional method is to write personal data specific to the radio, such as serial number, manufacturing rod number, manufacturing date, etc., on a nameplate (3). The contents written in the ``area'' are read and confirmed each time.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, the conventional personal data confirmation method for radio equipment reads and confirms the content written on the nameplate, so the nameplate is limited in size. However, sufficient data cannot be written to the wireless device, making it difficult to check, for example, the version of the ROM specific to the wireless device, the history of repairs and inspections, etc.

Also, if you remove the cover during inspection or repair, you won't be able to check the radio as you want, and you won't know what kind of radio it is. Particularly during product inspections, since radios with the same specifications are gathered in one place, there are cases where the lid with the name plate gets lost or the wrong bud is attached, making the inspection data obtained so far completely useless. There were some problems.

The present invention was made to solve this problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a personal data confirmation method for a wireless device that allows easy confirmation of a wealth of personal data regardless of the presence or absence of a nameplate.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The personal data confirmation method for a wireless device according to the present invention utilizes the free space of the existing E2 FROM in the wireless device to store channel data, and when programming channel data. This allows personal data to be written on the card and read out when necessary.

[Function] Due to recent advances in IC technology, cheap and large-capacity E2 PROMs are used in radio equipment.
Personal data can be easily checked by using the free space in the FROM.

[Examples] Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
The figure is a block diagram for explaining one embodiment of this invention, (4) is a CPU, (5) is an E2 FROM, (5a)
is E2 PROM (5) < 7) free space, (6) is CP
U (4) is a built-in program that writes to and reads from 22 FROM (6), (7) is an input device, (
8) is a display device.

Note that the CPU (4) and E2 FROM (5) are used to store channel data according to customer specifications, to store channel data for inspection, and to display these channel data. The input device (7) and display device (8) are devices outside the radio and are used by connecting to the radio.

The program (6) is written in the E2 FROM (5), and when an input device (7) or a display device (8) is connected to the radio for the purpose of inspecting the radio, the E2 PRO
The data is read from M(5) to the main memory of CPU(4) and controls data input/output.

As shown in FIG. 1, this invention utilizes a free area (5a) of an E2 FROM <5) in which channel data is stored, and when programming channel data with an input device (7), the wireless device Unique personal data such as serial number, manufacturing rod number, manufacturing date, ROM version, inspection history, etc. are also written on the nameplate so that it can be read out and displayed on the display device (8) when necessary. Personal data can be easily checked regardless of the presence or absence of personal data.

The personal data can be written by simply adding a program when programming customer-specific channel data or testing channel data.

By using the above-described method, the present invention makes it possible to immediately confirm what type of radio device the radio device is, even if the lid with the name plate is removed during inspection or repair. By checking the serial number before installing the lid that was removed for inspection or repair, we can prevent the wrong lid from being installed, and we can avoid using a frequency other than the licensed frequency due to shipping with the wrong lid. Accidents such as operations can be prevented.

Furthermore, even if the circuit constants are changed according to customer specifications at the destination where the product is shipped, this can be easily confirmed.

In addition, due to recent advances in IC technology, cheap and large-capacity E2 FROM is now being used in radio equipment, and by using the free space of such E2 FROM, a rich variety of personal Data can be stored and the contents can be easily rewritten.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, this invention is capable of storing channel data by using the free space of the E'PROM to write personal data together when programming channel data. Since the device can be read out at any time, a wealth of personal data can be easily checked regardless of whether there is a nameplate, and accidents caused by incorrect personal data can be prevented.

Claims (1)

[Claims] E^2PR that stores data specific to the radio device.
Using a radio device that has a built-in OM and a CPU that reads this E^2PROM, data specific to the radio device should be written on the nameplate of the radio device using the same method as writing it to the E^2PROM above. At the stage of writing personal data, such as serial number, manufacturing rod number, manufacturing date, ROM version, inspection history, etc., into the free space of the E^2PROM, data unique to the radio device written into the E^2PROM is written. A method for confirming personal data for a wireless device, comprising the step of displaying the personal data written in the free area of the E^2PROM by the same means as displaying the data.
