Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow a called party to receive numeral information or the like sent by a caller and to display relevant registration information by allowing a pager carrier to operate a key switch group ancillary to the pager and registrating information such as a name, a telephone number and a password with registration number and registering it. CONSTITUTION:A signal is received by a reception antenna 2 built in a reception section 1, an output signal A including an individual call number and call information is transferred to a call number identification section 6 in a control section 5 and compared with an identification number of a pager itself stored in the inside of a ROM 7. Then a registration information processing section 17 compares registration information such as a name, a telephone number and a password already registered by a pager carrier with a message comprising a numeral string decided especially in call information and displays the result onto an information display section. Moreover, each operation such as entry, output display, storage, delete and retrieval relating to the registration information is implemented through an input keyboard 22 provided in a registration information input section 21.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a pager with a message display, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a pager with a message display, and in particular, the called party receives numerical information transmitted by a calling party, and registers information consisting of numbers and characters that have already been input. This invention relates to a pager with a message display that searches for and outputs and displays the corresponding registered information.

2. Description of the Related Art As is generally well known, paging services have been implemented in which a caller provides contact or information via radio waves to an individual called person who is out of town or engaged in diplomatic sales. Among these, message display pagers that can display messages composed of numbers and characters are increasingly being used.

Conventionally, there are three types of pagers with messages of this type. The first is a numeric display method (numeric display) in which the caller directly inputs only numbers using a push-button telephone, and the pager carried by the called party outputs and displays only the same numbers as the input content. method). Second, the calling party requests an input from the operator, and the operator enters a message consisting of numbers and letters, which then sends the same numbers and message to the pager carried by the called party. There is a character display method (alphanumeric or kanadisplay method) for output display. Third, the caller uses a push-button telephone to enter an encrypted code created by combining function symbols # (pound) and * (asterisk) and numbers, allowing the called party to create multiple numbers that cannot be freely created. There is a fixed message display method in which ready-made fixed messages are output and displayed on the pager of the called party. These three types of pager display methods are respectively referred to as a number display type pager, a character display type pager, and a fixed phrase display type pager.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Among the conventional pagers with message displays mentioned above, in the numeric display type pager, messages other than telephone number messages are combinations of numbers and are displayed as numeric cipher text, so the person carrying the pager cannot This method has the disadvantage that it is necessary to remember all the meanings of the numerical ciphertexts or to separately prepare a verification list.

[0005] In the character display type pager, since the received message is composed of numbers and characters, it is convenient for the person carrying the pager to read the message directly. However, the caller cannot enter characters directly when using a push-button telephone, so they have to enter complicated input by combining function symbols such as # (sharp) and * (asterisk) and numbers, or connect a computer to input numbers and characters. It is troublesome that the caller is required to perform the input himself/herself, or that the operator has to request the input when inputting from the keyboard.

Furthermore, in a pager that displays a fixed text, the fixed text message can be read directly by the person carrying the pager, but the ready-made fixed message lacks freedom of selection and is inconvenient. It has the disadvantage of being extremely complicated and inconvenient in that a fixed message must be displayed by entering a code code by combining the function symbol * (asterisk) and numbers.

An object of the present invention is that the calling party can input numbers directly using a push-button telephone, while the pager user can input the registered information entered by the person in advance based on the received digit string information. Search and display the output. That is, the object of the present invention is to provide a message display type pager having an information registration/reading function that allows the called party to easily understand the numerical information sent by the calling party.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A pager with a message display of the present invention has a pager with a message display having a paging reception display function of receiving a message and displaying the message on a display section. By operating the group, it is possible to register names, telephone numbers, passwords, etc. with registration information numbers, and it is also possible to read, search, and rewrite them at any time.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a signal is received by a receiving antenna 2 built in a receiving section 1, and passes through a high frequency section 3 and a waveform shaping section 4, so that an output signal 4A containing an individual calling number and calling information is It is transferred to the calling number identification section 6 in the control section 5 at the next stage. The individual calling number of the output signal 4A is compared with the individual calling number (i.e., identification number) of the pager itself stored in the ROM 7, and if it matches the identification number, the subsequent calling information is sent to the information output section 13. The information is stored in the information storage section 14. At the same time, the central processing unit 8 outputs an output command signal 8A. This output command signal 8A is a signal 9 generated by a clock oscillator 9.
It is sent to the low frequency amplifier 10 together with A, and an alert sound is output from the speaker 11. Note that when the alert sound is to be stopped, it can be stopped by resetting the mode switch 12. Following this alert sound, call information as a message consisting of a combination of numbers and letters or a string of numbers is output from the call information storage section 14 through the display drive section 15, and is displayed on the information display section 16 at a constant rate. After the time has elapsed, the display moves to the next screen and repeats the same process until the final screen. After that, the screen display is automatically cleared.

[0011] Next, the registered information such as the name, telephone number, and password of the person carrying the pager is displayed in comparison with a message consisting of a specially determined number string in the above-mentioned call information. A case will be explained below. The registration information is stored in the registration information storage section 18 in the registration information processing section 17.
The address signal 18A indicating the storage address is stored in the memory number storage section 19. When the call information following the aforementioned individual call number is stored in the call information storage section 14, if this call information consists only of a number string corresponding to the memory number, the memory number detection section 20 The contents of the numerical string and the memory number signal 1 sent from the memory number storage section 19
Compared with 9A. At this time, if the number string and memory number match, the corresponding registration information is stored in the registration information storage unit 18.
The signal 18B is read out from the display drive unit 15 and output as a signal 18B, and is displayed on the information display unit 16. After a certain period of time has elapsed, the next screen is displayed, and the same process is repeated until the final screen, after which the screen display is automatically erased.

[0012] Furthermore, if the registration information is not input at the address corresponding to the memory number that matches the number string,
Furthermore, if there is no memory number that matches the number string, the number string itself can be displayed as is on the information display section 16 as call information.

On the other hand, input and output display regarding registered information,
Each operation such as storing, erasing, searching, etc. is executed through the input keyboard 22 in the registered information input section 21. Note that the input keyboard 22 is composed of four key groups. The memory number is input and set using the number key group 22A, and numbers such as a telephone number are input. In addition, a name and a password are further input using the character key group 22B and the symbol key group 22C. To execute functions such as input confirmation/correction/memory/deletion, readout search (search by cue, frequency of use, alphabetical order, kana order, etc.), search with password, press one of the function keys in the function key group 22D. Use the appropriate keyswitch. Each of these functions can be operated and executed independently of the presence or absence of the call information. By operating the numerical key group 22A, character key group 22B, and symbol key group 22C in the input keyboard 22, a signal 23A is generated in the numerical character input circuit section 23, and a signal 23A is generated in the function key group 22D.
After passing through the registration function control section 24 operated by the operation, the registration information is stored in the registration information storage section 18 and the storage address is stored in the memory number storage section 19 as described above, thereby completing the registration.

The main body power supply section 25 supplies power to each of the receiving section 1, the control section 5, the information output section 13, the registered information processing section 17, and the registered information input section 21.

[0015]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention allows a message display type pager that receives and displays messages to input and store registered information such as a name, telephone number, password, etc. that the user of the pager wishes to register. Furthermore, since the memory number corresponding to the address where the registered information that has been entered is assigned, the corresponding registered information can be searched simply by receiving the number string information that matches the memory number. , and has the effect of being output and displayed. In other words, even though the caller inputs only numbers as before, instead of the conventional numeric cipher text being output and displayed, the caller's name, phone number, and even the password message are displayed in numbers and letters. Since the message is output and displayed as a message composed of , it has the effect that it can be directly read and understood by pager users.

[0016] In addition to the paging function by message reception, the pager owner also has the advantage of being able to input, memorize, search, and display telephone numbers and the like at any time. In addition, input is easy for the caller, and the paging transmission time can be shortened for the operator by sending only a numeric string, which has the effect of increasing radio wave usage efficiency.
