Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates to the time of wireless transmission,
The present invention relates to a selective call receiving device that displays a message or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a selective call receiving device of this type has a clock section and a display section, and stores a reception time together with a received message. After that, when the user reads the received message, the reception time can be displayed together with the received message.

[0003]

However, the conventional selective call receiving device is provided with 3 to 4 time setting switches, and since the time setting is performed only by these 3 to 4 switches, the same switch is used. Need to be operated by different functions. Therefore, there is a drawback that the time setting operation becomes complicated and time adjustment is time-consuming.

Similarly, the configuration in which the internal clock is backed up has the drawback that it takes time to set the normal time when the product is shipped.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve such a conventional problem, and an object thereof is to provide an excellent selective call receiving device capable of easily setting the time.

[0006]

In order to solve this object, a selective call receiving device of the present invention is connected to a clock circuit for clocking time and an external device, and inputs a time setting from this external device. An external device interface for processing information, and a control circuit for controlling the time setting of the clock circuit based on input information for time setting through the external device interface.

[0007]

Therefore, according to the selective call receiving device of the present invention, the external device which is easy to perform the input operation is connected, and the time is set by the input operation from the external device. Therefore, the time can be easily set. it can.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the selective call receiving apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the embodiment. In FIG. 1, 1 is an antenna for receiving a radio wave of a message for calling, individual information such as time, 2 is a receiving unit for demodulating the individual information from the received radio wave, and 3 is processing the demodulated individual information. Decoder 4, CPU for controlling the processed individual information, 5 EEPROM for storing the individual information and the like, 6 is a clock unit for measuring the time, and an operation unit 6a for setting the time is connected. 7 is a display signal processing unit that performs signal processing for displaying individual information such as a received message and time, 8 is a display device, and 9 is a speaker 10.
For amplifying sound, 11 for external device interface, 20 for CPU 4 external device interface 1
An external device such as a ROM writer (personal computer) that communicates through 1; 22 is a numeric keypad connected to the external device 20;
Reference numeral 4 is a CRT connected to an external device.

Next, the operation of this configuration will be described.
In the clock unit 6, the time is set by the input operation of the operation unit 6a. In this case, the operation unit 6a is composed of 3 to 4 switches, which makes the input operation of time setting difficult. Therefore, the time is set from the numeric keypad 22 and the CRT 24, which are connected to the external device 20 and are easy to operate because they have a single function.

The CPU 4 controls communication through the external device 20 and the external device interface section 11 and obtains individual information by this communication. This individual information is stored in the EEPROM 5 and the current time is set in the clock unit 6. In this case, operate the numeric keypad 22 provided on the external device 20,
The time is set by visually observing the CRT 24.

Thereafter, the CPU 4 displays the time inside the time section 6 on the display 8 through the display signal processing section 7. In this state, the receiving unit 2 demodulates the individual information such as the message and the time from the radio wave received by the antenna 1, and the decoder 3 performs the decoding process. The selective call number by this process is
Selective call number and C stored in EEPROM 5
Under the control of PU4, comparison and collation are performed, and if they match, CPU4
Outputs a signal to the display signal processing unit 7 and the amplifying unit 9, and displays the message on the display unit 8 in time with the message, and further, the speaker 10 sounds to notify the reception.

In this way, the setting of the current time in the clock unit 6 is performed by the external device interface unit 11 and the CPU 4.
Through the operation, the numeric keypad 22 of the external device 20 can be operated, and the CRT 24 can be visually observed. In this case, since the time can be set by utilizing the large-sized numeric keypad 22 and the CRT 24 which are easy to see, the input operation becomes simple and the time can be set easily.

The time may be set using the internal clock data of the personal computer. Furthermore, although a ROM writer is used as the external device, a dedicated time setting device may be used for this external device.

[0015]

As is apparent from the above description, the selective call receiving device of the present invention is connected to an external device which allows easy input operation, and the time is set by the input operation from this external device. Therefore, there is an effect that the time can be easily set.
