FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of the paging receiver of the first embodiment. In this figure, 30 is a mode switch, 31 is a data input key, and 32 is a dialer output switch. The mode switch 30 is a normal mode when the paging receiver of this embodiment is used as a paging receiver having an original function, a dialer mode when the paging receiver of this embodiment is used as a dialer, and a telephone number in the dialer buffer 8. It is used for mode switching between a writing mode for writing numerical data such as, and a time adjustment mode for adjusting the time.

The data input key 31 is for inputting numeric data such as a telephone number. The data input key 31 becomes effective when the dialer mode, the writing mode, and the time correction mode are set. The dialer output switch 32 outputs the numerical data written in the dialer buffer 8 as a dial tone. The dialer output switch 32 is effective in the dialer mode.

When the dialer mode is set, the data input key 31 and the dialer output switch 32 are enabled at the same time when the dialer output is performed from the middle number of the telephone number displayed on the display section 20. . For example,
When dialing out "45-3154" excluding the area code "04" of the telephone number "04-45-3154" shown in FIG. 2, the area code "0" is pressed by the data input key 31.
Set the leading number "4" for dialer output of "45-3154" excluding 4 ". By pressing the dialer output switch 32 in this state," 45-315 "is set.
The telephone number "4" is output as a dialer.

Next, the operation when the dialer is output from the middle of the telephone number message data received or read from the RAM 7 will be described. FIG. 3 is a display transition diagram showing a change in display on the display unit 20. Here, as shown in the figure, the message data "04-45" is displayed on the display unit 20.
Mode switch 3 with -3154 "displayed
After setting 0 to dialer mode, key 3 for data input
When 1 to "4" is input, the display changes from step S1 to step S2. That is, the display unit 2
Since the input numbers are searched from the left of 0, the second
The second "4" display flashes.

Then, when "4" is further input from the data input key 31, the display changes from step S2 to step S3. That is, the third display "4" from the left blinks. This completes the setting of the leading numeral of the numeral data to be output as a dialer. After that, when the dialer output switch 32 is pressed, "45-3154" is output as a dialer. That is, the numbers of each digit of "45-3154" are sequentially taken into the DTMF signal generating section 9, and the DTMF signal of the dial tone corresponding to the number is generated and supplied to the amplifier circuit 10. After being amplified by the amplifier circuit 10, a dial tone is generated from the dial tone speaker 11.

On the other hand, when the dialer output including the area code "04" is performed, the dialer output switch 32 may be pressed as it is without using the data input key 31. As a result, the dialer output is performed from the leading numeral of the numeral data displayed on the display unit 20. FIG. 4 is a flow chart for explaining the processing operation of the first embodiment.

First, after setting the dialer mode in step S1, the leading number of the numerical data to be dialed out is input from the data input key 31 in step S2, and the number displayed on the display unit 20 in step S3. The closest number entered from the left of the data blinks. In this state, when the dialer output switch 32 is pressed (step S4), the numeric data after the blinking number in the step S6 is dialer-outputted, and this processing is ended.

That is, when the blinking number is the leading number of the numerical data to be output by the dialer, the dialer output switch 32 is pressed. If the number input in step S2 is input again while the number is blinking (step S5), the process returns to step S3, and the second input number from the left blinks. That is, if the blinking number is not the first number of the number data desired to be output by the dialer, the number input in step S2 is input again. After that, the processes of steps S3 to S5 are repeated until the leading digit of the numeric data desired to be output by the dialer blinks.

By the way, in the first embodiment, if there are some same numbers before the first number which is desired to be dialed,
If you don't press the same key many times over that few minutes, you can't reach the first digit you want to dial out. As an example of a method for improving this, enter the number immediately preceding the first number desired to be output by the dialer, and use the dialer output switch 32.
By pressing, the dial output can be performed from the number next to the input number, that is, the first number that the dialer wants to output. In this case, it is not necessary to limit the number to be input to the number one digit before the first digit you want to output as a dialer, but if you set in advance how many digits before or after the number you input, you can set it. Can be output as Also, as another example, if you enter the number one digit before the number you want to output as a dialer, blink this number, and then bring it to the number you want to output as a dialer with the cursor good.
