Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a user from misunderstanding that the reception is consecutive by detecting that the reception of a radio channel is stopped and informing the operation stop corresponding to the output. CONSTITUTION:A reception function informing circuit 4c is set by using the reception stop time of a time band set by a reception function ON-OFF circuit 4b as the time to operate a reception stopping means. Moreover, a reception stop informing time is set optionally from the reception function informing circuit 4c by a request of the user. The set informing time is calculated based on the set reception stopping time and stored in a memory 6. Thus, when the reception function informing circuit 4c reaches a reception stopping time, the reception function ON-OFF circuit 4b stops its automatic function and the reception function informing circuit 4c allows an amplifier 12 to activate a speaker 13 in a tone different from that at the reception to inform the stop of the reception function and the result is displayed on a liquid crystal display device 9 as, e.g. 'OFF', thereby informing the stop of the reception function.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a selective call receiver for stopping the receiving operation of a radio circuit corresponding to a preset time zone.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a selective call receiver having a clock function, a receivable time zone can be arbitrarily set by operating a predetermined switch, and the receiving operation is performed according to the setting.
Alternatively, there is a selective call receiver having a function of stopping reception.

However, the user does not always recognize and use the time zone in which the reception function set and stopped by the user is always used. In other words, if you have forgotten the reception time zone you have set, if the set down time has passed due to your busy schedule, or if you are receiving data due to an input error in the set time zone you tried to set. There are times when I think about it.

In such a case, since the receiving function is stopped due to the elapse of the set time, when a call is made, the called party cannot know the call and cannot immediately know the message. However, there arises a problem that the original function of the selective call receiver cannot be fulfilled.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, in a conventional selective calling receiver for operating and stopping the receiving function in correspondence with a preset time zone, the receiving function is stopped due to the lapse of the set stop time. Despite being in
It is an object of the present invention to provide a selective call receiver that can prevent the user from thinking that the receiving function is operating.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a selective call receiver that suspends the receiving operation of a radio circuit in correspondence with a preset time zone, and detects that the receiving operation of the radio circuit is stopped. And a notification unit that notifies that the receiving operation of the wireless circuit has stopped in response to the detection output of the detection unit.

[0007]

According to the present invention, in a selective call receiver for stopping the receiving operation of the radio circuit in correspondence with a preset time zone, it is detected that the receiving operation of the radio circuit is stopped, and the detection output of the detection is output. Correspondingly, in order to notify that the reception operation of the wireless circuit has stopped, the user re-recognizes that the reception operation of the wireless circuit has stopped, and even if the reception operation has stopped due to the elapse of the set time. Regardless, there is no erroneous belief that the receiving operation is continuing, and the receiving operation / stop function that is set / operated by the clock function can be utilized reliably and reliably.

1 is a block diagram of a selective call receiver showing an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the receiving operation will be described.

The signal received by the antenna 1 is passed through the radio circuit 2 and the demodulation circuit 3 and then passed through the code collating circuit 4 of the control circuit 4.
Input to a. The ringing signal in the received signal input to the code collating circuit 4a is compared and judged with the ringing signal of the present receiver already recorded in the read-only memory (ROM) 5. When the ringing signal received and the ringing signal of this receiver match, a light emitting diode (LED) is passed through the amplifier 10.
11 is blinked, the speaker 13 is sounded through the amplifier 12, and when accompanied by a message, a liquid crystal display (LC
D) The message is displayed by 9 and the user is notified that there is a call or message. It should be noted that the light emitting diode 11, the speaker 13, and the liquid crystal display 9, which are the reception notification means, can be arbitrarily operated or not operated.

As a premise, the liquid crystal display 9 has a clock circuit 8 capable of displaying time, and the reception ON-OFF circuit 4b can set a reception time zone based on the time of this clock circuit. Memory (RA
M) 6 can be recorded, and at the reception start and stop time, the reception function ON-OFF circuit 4b switches to the switch 7
The wireless circuit 2 and the demodulation circuit 3 are automatically operated or stopped by controlling the.

Now, the reception function informing circuit 4c can be set by using the reception stop time in the time zone set in the reception function ON-OFF circuit 4b as the time for operating the reception stop informing means. Further, the reception stop notification time can be arbitrarily set from the reception function notification circuit 4c according to the user's request, and can be set, for example, 10 minutes before the reception stop time. This set notification time is calculated based on the set reception stop time and is stored in the memory 6.

As a result, when the reception function notifying circuit 4c reaches the reception stop time, the reception function ON-OFF circuit 4b automatically stops the reception function and the reception function notifying circuit 4c informs the reception function through the amplifier 12 that the reception function is stopped. The speaker 13 is caused to emit a sound different from that at the time of reception or an intermittent sound, and the liquid crystal display 9 informs that the reception function is stopped by a display such as "OFF". Also,
When the reception stop notification time is set before the reception stop time, the speaker 13 via the amplifier 12 is controlled by the reception function notification circuit 4c at a designated time before the reception stop time.
Is sounded or a display indicating that reception is stopped is displayed on the liquid crystal display 9.

With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the error that the user thinks that the receiving function is operating even if the receiving function is stopped due to the lapse of a set time. The operation or non-operation of the plurality of reception stop notification means can be arbitrarily selected. Further, by using the vibrator as the reception stop notification means, it is possible to notify the user by vibration. Further, the selective call receiver having no clock circuit may be provided with the timer circuit.

[0015]

As described above, the present invention detects that the receiving operation of the wireless circuit is stopped in the selective call receiver which stops the receiving operation of the wireless circuit in correspondence with the preset time zone.
By notifying that the reception operation of the radio circuit has stopped in response to the detection output of the detection, the reception operation of the selective call receiver is stopped even though the user is continuing the reception operation. Since it is possible to prevent the erroneous belief that the automatic reception ON-OFF function, which is originally a convenient function, can be reliably and more effectively used, it is possible to prevent the mistaken assumption that it is. .
