Abstract

PURPOSE:To utilize effectively a system by displaying clearly a residual battery capacity, a transmission time, and a battery use frequency so as to recognize clearly a time when an IC memory card modem is available and data available for transfer. CONSTITUTION:An IC memory card section 1 or a radio section 2 calculates a residual battery capacity of a battery pack based on a current of the battery and it is fed to a CPU 7 via an interface 6. Then the CPU 7 calculates and discriminates the transmission time of data, a battery use frequency and availability of transfer of data and displays the result on a display device 5. In the case of transferring data, since the residual battery capacity, the battery use frequency required for transferring data, and the time for transfer are displayed on the display device 5 of a terminal 8 in this way, the operator clearly recognizes the quantity of data available for transfer based on the residual battery capacity and the battery use frequency required for transferring data. Furthermore, the operator decide the priority of data when plural data are in existence to proceed the job efficiently.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to mounting a battery pack.
The present invention relates to control in a C memory card modem.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An IC memory card modem mainly comprises an IC memory card part and a modem part, and the IC memory card part is inserted and connected as a connector into a slit part of an information terminal device such as a personal computer to transfer data externally. It is a device for transmitting to.

In the conventional IC memory card modem, since the power was supplied from the terminal device side, the data transfer did not become impossible due to the insufficient remaining battery power. Therefore, there is no display of the battery remaining amount, and only the data capacity is displayed on the terminal device side.

[0004]

In the conventional IC memory card modem, since the main body is fixedly installed and used, it is easy to supply the power from a household power source, but the main body is used as a portable type. If this is the case, the power source must be supplied from the battery, so it must be integrated with the battery, and as a result, data transfer may become impossible when the remaining battery power is insufficient.

Therefore, when the operator notices that the remaining battery level is insufficient for the first time after the data transmission is started, the work must be interrupted to charge the battery or the battery pack must be replaced to restart the transmission. did not become.

Obviously, this interruption of work significantly lowers the work efficiency, and also reduces the utilization efficiency of the remaining battery level.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the information display system of the present invention is provided with a means for calculating the remaining battery power frequency in an IC memory card modem, while the battery power frequency is always provided on the terminal side. Is provided to display the data transmission time, the battery usage rate, and the transferable data on the display of the terminal.

As a result, when data is transferred,
Battery remaining frequency, Battery usage required for each data transfer,
Since the time for transfer is displayed on the display on the terminal side, the operator can clarify the transferable data based on the battery remaining power and the battery usage required for transferring each data.
Further, when there are a plurality of data, the priority order of the data can be determined and the work can be efficiently performed.

[0009]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is an IC memory card section, 2 is a wireless section, 3 is a battery pack, and 4 is an antenna.

In actual use, the terminal 1a of the IC memory card unit 1 is inserted into a terminal such as a personal computer, and each information is displayed on the display of the terminal.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the internal structure of the embodiment, in which 5 is a terminal display, 6 is an interface, 7 is a CPU, and 8 is a terminal. In the IC memory card unit 1 or the wireless unit 2, the battery residual amount frequency of the battery pack 3 is calculated from the current value, and this is calculated via the interface 6 as C
The data is sent to the PU 7, and the CPU 7 calculates and judges the transmission time of each data, the number of battery usages, and whether or not each data can be transferred, and displays it on the display 5.

The operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG.

When the operator tries to transfer a plurality of data, the battery remaining amount is calculated (S12), and at the same time, the transmission time of each data and the required battery frequency are calculated on the terminal side (S12).
13) and the contents obtained in the processing S12 and S13 are displayed on the display (S14).

Next, the operator selects transferable data and starts the transfer (S15). Each time one packet transfer is completed, the transmission time and the battery remaining frequency are calculated from the remaining data (S16), and the contents of the processing S16 are displayed on the display (S17). It is judged whether or not the remaining amount of data is zero (S18), and if "Yes", the transfer is ended.

[0016]

According to the present invention, when data communication is performed, the remaining battery power, the transmission time, and the battery use frequency are clearly displayed. Therefore, the time when the IC memory card modem can be used and the data which can be transferred are transferred. Can be clearly used and can be used very effectively.
