[Purpose of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a selective call receiver.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional selective call receiver of this type was constructed as shown in FIG. A radio circuit 2 receives a selective calling signal transmitted from a base station via an antenna 1, changes the frequency, and provides the signal to a demodulation circuit 3. Demodulation circuit 3
Then, the carrier is removed and the original selective paging signal is reproduced. The reproduced selective call signal is taken into the control circuit 4. An ID memory 5 is connected to the control circuit 4. The ID memory 5 stores the individual number, dial number, ring tone pattern data, etc. of the device itself. Therefore, the control circuit 4 extracts the individual number from the selective call signal, detects whether it matches the individual number in the ID memory 5, and if it matches,
The driving circuit 6 is controlled by giving a ringing signal based on the ringing pattern data, and furthermore, the control circuit 4 extracts a message code from the selective ringing signal and displays the corresponding display data on the display 8.
to display the message. The display of this message, the display of the telephone number of the device itself, etc. are performed, for example, by operating a switch (not shown).

[0003] In recent years, selective call receivers have a plurality of individual numbers, and a contact point is determined and used for each individual number in many cases.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional selective call receiver as described above, the ID memory only stores the telephone number of the receiving device, and it is not possible to access the telephone number such as contact information corresponding to the individual number. The number and name of the other party are written down in a notebook or the like and carried with them. However,
There was a problem where if you lost or forgot your memo, you could no longer be contacted.

[0005] The present invention has been devised in view of the problems of conventional selective call receivers, and its purpose is to display information such as contact information corresponding to an individual number when a call occurs. It is an object of the present invention to provide a selective call receiver that can be informed. [Structure of the invention]

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention includes a receiving means for receiving a selective call signal transmitted from a base station, a display means for displaying data, and at least one individual number assigned to the own device. storage means provided with an area capable of storing information associated with the individual number; input means for inputting data; and when information for the area is input from the input means, the area is stored. storage control means for storing information in correspondence with individual numbers; and upon receiving a request from the input means to display information corresponding to a desired individual number, corresponding information is read from an area of the storage means and displayed on the display means. The selective call receiver is equipped with a display control means for controlling the display.

[0007]

[Operation] According to the above configuration, it is possible to register information corresponding to an individual number from the input means, and when a call is received, the information corresponding to the required individual number can be displayed by a display request from the input means. . Therefore, it is possible to register telephone numbers such as contact information as information and display them in correspondence with individual numbers.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, the same components as in the configuration of FIG. 4 are given the same reference numerals and redundant explanations will be omitted. In this embodiment, the control circuit 11 is constituted by, for example, a microprocessor, and has programs of flowcharts as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 in the main memory, and executes the programs. Control circuit 11
An ID memory 12 is connected to the ID memory 12, which stores the individual number, the telephone number of the own device, ring tone pattern data, etc. as in the past, and an area consisting of E2 PROM is provided to store the individual number. Corresponding information (in this case, contact phone number) can be registered. Furthermore,
The control circuit 11 includes a switch SW1 for stopping the ringer, a switch SW2 for switching the display mode,
A switch SW3 for switching addresses (addresses corresponding to individual numbers) and a switch SW4 for connecting/disconnecting power supply from the power source 13 are connected.

Now, in this embodiment, the switch SW
4 and supplying power from the power supply 13, if you continue to operate switch SW2 for about 2 to 3 seconds during the initial sound,
Move to contact display mode. In other words, the control circuit 11 captures key operations using the program shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2 (201), enters analysis (202), transitions to the contact display mode by the above operation, and displays the data corresponding to the individual number of the first address. The information stored in the E2 PROM is read out and displayed on the display 8 (203). here,
Initially, it is not displayed because there is "no data". To register contacts, switch SW1 is used as a key to change numbers and letters. In other words, when switch SW1 is operated once, "1" is displayed blinking, when switch SW1 is operated one more time, "2" is displayed blinking, and thereafter, each time switch SW1 is operated once, "3", " 4”, “5”…
, "9", "0", "-", "

[Example 1]' is displayed blinking, and this is repeated cyclically. When the desired number is lit and the switch SW3 is operated, this number is confirmed and it is possible to proceed to input the next digit. The above operations are shown in steps 204-210. Note that in order to protect the registered contents, step 206 cannot be changed except when the power is turned on.

[0010] When the input progresses as described above and the required dial number is input and displayed, switch SW1 is turned to 2.
If the operation continues for seconds (211), the registration for the individual number (address) is confirmed (212), and step 201
Return to If you need to register other individual numbers (addresses), it is best to operate switch SW3 next when the first address is displayed by operating switch SW3 and switch SW2 (213).
.

[0011] Registration is performed as described above, and in normal times,
If switch SW2 is operated for 2 seconds or more, step 201
~203, the telephone number of the first address is displayed and the contact information can be known, and by operating the switch SW3 following the above, the telephone numbers of other addresses are displayed. In addition,
Figure NO. OP indicates no operation.

Furthermore, the control circuit 11 of this embodiment executes the program shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3 when receiving the selective call signal. First, a selective calling signal is taken in from the demodulation circuit 3 (301), and an individual number is extracted (302). Detect whether the individual number is registered in the ID memory 12 (303
). If it is not registered, the operation is stopped, and if it is registered, the drive circuit 6 is controlled according to the ring tone pattern to generate a ring tone from the speaker 7 (304). Next, the control circuit 11 starts detecting the operation of the switch SW1 (30
5), when the operation is performed, the ringer stops and (3)
06) and extracts the message code from the selective call signal (3
07), this is changed to corresponding display data and displayed on the display 8 (308). And furthermore, switch SW
Operation detection for SW1 to SW3 begins (309). During this time, when a predetermined time has elapsed (310), the operation is stopped. On the other hand, if any of the switches SW1 to SW3 is operated before the time is over, the telephone number corresponding to the individual number related to the reception is read from the E2 PROM and displayed on the display 8 (311). by this,
This is convenient because the operator does not have to search for contact information for each individual number. Note that the information is not limited to a telephone number, but may also be a name or the like.

[0013]

As explained above, according to the present invention, information can be registered corresponding to individual numbers and can be displayed, so that information such as contact information can be displayed and known.
