[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a pager terminal capable of displaying fixed text in a paging system.

Recent paging systems have been developed from so-called pager systems. In such a system, that of a pager terminal.

A unique terminal number is set for each terminal, but when the sender of a message calls this terminal number from a touch-tone phone, etc., the signal of this terminal number is transmitted via the telephone exchange board to the telephone exchange. Directions are transmitted from the transmitting station to the entire service area. When the pager terminal receives this signal and the number is the same as the terminal's unique terminal number, the terminal emits a buzzer and calls the person who owns the pager terminal.

Furthermore, the pager terminal is equipped with a liquid crystal number/character display device, and when the sender of the message enters the terminal number on a telephone or other device and then enters the message number, the message number will be displayed as the terminal number listed above. The message is transmitted along the same route to the pager terminal, and the pager terminal displays the message corresponding to the message number on the display device.

[Prior Art] Now, as mentioned above, the pager terminal in the paging system displays the message corresponding to the message number specified by the sender, but what kind of message can be displayed? is important.

However, the content of messages that can be displayed is limited by the system configuration of the pager terminal.

Next, the configuration for displaying a message on a pager terminal will be explained using FIG.

Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing a conventional example. In Fig. 4, 1 is a radio section, and this radio section 1 selects radio waves corresponding to the receiving frequency of the pager terminal from mixed radio waves. For example, a high frequency amplification circuit is used to receive and amplify the signal.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a demodulator, which removes the carrier wave from the modulated wave that is the output signal of the radio unit 1, and demodulates it to generate terminal number information for identifying the pager terminal and message number information to be displayed. This is what is output.

6 is a decoder, and this decoder 6 compares the terminal number information of the pager terminal itself stored in the storage section 7 and the receiving terminal number information from the demodulation section 2, and if they match,
While sending the message number information to the next stage processing section 9,
It emits a ringing signal (ringing signal).

Reference numeral 7 denotes a storage unit in which the terminal number of the pager terminal itself is stored, and a non-rewritable mask RO is stored in the storage unit 7.
M is used.

8 is an amplifying section, and this amplifying section 8 amplifies the ringing signal from the decoder 6.

10 is a speaker, and this speaker 10 emits a ringing sound (ringing tone) based on the signal amplified by the amplifying section 8.

3' is a message storage section; this message storage section 3'
A non-rewritable mask ROM is used in which the required types of messages are stored. The address number in the ROM of the message storage section 3' corresponds to the message number, and the stored contents of the address corresponding to the message number are uniquely determined and output.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a processing section, which outputs the address number corresponding to the message number information output from the decoder 6 to the message storage section 3', retrieves the corresponding required message, and outputs it to the display section 4. It is supposed to be done.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a display unit, and the display unit 4 displays a segment corresponding to the message in an ON state in accordance with the message data output from the processing unit 9.1 For example, a liquid crystal display device (LCD) is used. is used.

[Problem W1 to be Solved by the Invention] Conventionally, a non-rewritable mask ROM has been used as the message storage section 3', and the data of the fixed text is written into the mask ROM at the manufacturing stage.

In the case of using such a mask ROM, since the message is determined at the manufacturing stage, it is impossible to modify it later so that it becomes a fixed phrase suitable for each user.

Therefore, depending on the user, there is a drawback that even if there are many unsuitable fixed phrases and few usable fixed phrases, the user has no choice but to use the system as is.

The present invention aims to solve these problems while maintaining the same usability as before.

The purpose is to provide a pager terminal that can provide fixed text services with specific content tailored to the user.

[Means to solve the problem] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the principle of the present invention.

In this FIG. 1, 1 is a radio section, and this radio section l is:
It selects, receives, and amplifies radio waves that correspond to the reception frequency of the pager terminal from among the mixed radio waves.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a demodulating section, which removes a carrier wave from the amplified modulated wave that is the output signal of the radio section 1, demodulates it, and outputs pager terminal number information and display message number information.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a message storage section, and this message storage section 3 stores messages of required types. have.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a display section, and this display section 4 retrieves a desired message from the message storage section 3 and displays it by searching the stored contents of the message storage section 3 based on the demodulation result of the demodulation section 2.

[Function] In the pager terminal of the present invention described above, the message storage section 3
A desired message is retrieved and displayed based on the demodulation result of the demodulator 2. As part of this message, specific words rewritten for each user are stored in the semiconductor memory 5.

By the way, the message storage section 3 has a message variable E.
It is comprised of a semiconductor memory section 5A containing a PROM, and the required types of messages are stored therein.

Note that a message such as "Please call rOO" is stored in the semiconductor storage unit 5A, and the "○○" part of this "Call Oo" is a specific word unique to the user. It is written according to the user at the time of sale or shipment.

With the above-described configuration, when the radio section 1 of the pager terminal receives a signal from the transmitting station of the telephone office, the modulated wave is amplified in the radio section 1 and input to the demodulation section 2.

Next, the demodulated wave demodulated by the demodulation unit 2 is input to the decoder 6, and the decoder 6 receives the terminal number information of the pager terminal itself stored in the storage unit 7 and the receiving terminal number information from the demodulation unit 2. If they match, the message number information is sent to the next processing section 9 and a ringing signal (ringing tone signal) is output.

Further, the processing section 9 searches the semiconductor storage section 5A of the message storage section 3 for the storage contents of the address corresponding to the message number from the sent message number information, retrieves it, and displays it on the display section 4.

The content of the message displayed at this time is, for example, “Oo
Since it contains specific content (``○○'') that corresponds to the user, such as "Please call me," the service provides a fixed text service with specific content tailored to the user while maintaining the same usability as before. I can do it. This contributes to improving the serviceability of the entire paging system.
