Abstract

PURPOSE: To indicate incoming by vibration without fail when the receiver is put on a human body by providing a detecting means for the human body and performing reception from an antenna, and automatically and forcibly selecting vibrator calling and vibrating a vibrator when the human body is detected. CONSTITUTION: When there is incoming, the reception is detected through the antenna 1 and a radio part 1. A reception detection signal 1a is sent to a control part 3, which checks whether or not the human body detection part 12 generates a human body detection signal 12a. When the human body detection signal 12a is not outputted, the control part 3 reads a set and stored call format out of a storage part 10 and drives a driving part 6 or 8 corresponding to the calling format to generates a specific sound by a sounding body 7 for a melody tone or vibrate a vibration body 9 for vibration. When the human body detection signal 12a is outputted, the set and stored contents are ignored and the control part 3 vibrates the vibration body 9 through the driving part 8 automatically and forcibly.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a selective call type radio receiver, and more particularly to a radio receiver effective when worn by a human body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A wireless receiver is a device for receiving a wireless call from a partner. In many cases, sound (melody or tone) or vibration is used as a method of informing the receiver of the wireless receiver when making a call. The vibration means that a vibrator is attached to a wireless receiver and the vibrator is driven at the time of reception so that the receiver receives vibration to sense the reception. On the other hand, in the case of sound, a melody or tone is uttered at the time of reception so that the recipient can perceive it from the ear.
There is also a way to make it sense with the eyes. In that case, a message indicating reception is displayed on the display surface. Combinations of two or more of these are also possible.

[0003]

A manual operation setting device is attached in order to detect the reception at the radio receiver. In this operation setting device, a melody, a tone, a vibration, etc. are displayed on the display screen by switching the switch, and the receiver selects one of the settings in advance and stores the setting. When you want to change the settings, you can make selections according to your own tastes and ideas. For example, when a worker is in a quiet environment, a melody or tone is selected, and when a partner is present, a vibration (vibration) is selected.

However, there is a case where the receiver removes (or separates) the radio receiver from the human body even though the vibe is set and stored. In this case, the vibration is not transmitted to the human body by the vibrator, so the receiver cannot sense the reception.

The purpose of the present invention is to
The present invention provides a selective call type radio receiver capable of automatically giving vibration to a human body by a vibrator.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises an antenna,
A means for receiving and demodulating a signal from the antenna, a decoding unit for decoding the demodulated signal, a display unit for the decoding result, and as a calling format, at least one of a vibrator calling and a sound calling is manually operated. An operation unit for setting and storing, a vibrator and a voicing unit corresponding to the calling format, a human body detecting means, and when the human body is detected and the human body is detected, the vibrator calling is automatically and forcibly selected to select the vibrator. A selective call radio receiver comprising a drive means and a drive means is disclosed.

[0007]

According to the present invention, when the device is worn on the human body, the detection means detects that the device is worn on the human body, thereby automatically and forcibly selecting the call by the vibrator on condition of reception. Drive the vibrator. Thus,
Vibration from the vibrator is transmitted to the human body without fail.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a wireless receiver according to the present invention. The wireless receiver includes an antenna 11, a wireless unit 1, an operating unit 2, a control unit 3, driving units 4, 6, and 8, a display unit 5, a sounding body 7, a vibrating body 9, a storage unit 10, and a human body detecting unit 12. .
The human body detection unit 12 is integrally attached as a part of the wireless receiver. The operation unit 2 has various keys, one of which is a mode selection switch. The operation unit 2 is
It is a means for man-machine interaction, and displays necessary information on the display unit 5 through the control unit 3 and the driving unit 4 and while watching the displayed contents, or while selecting the contents of the displayed contents,
Input operation. The operation result is set and stored in the storage unit 10 via the control unit 3.

The operation unit 2 also makes settings for selection.
The sounding body 7 enables sounding of a melody and a tone, and the vibrating body 9 is a so-called vibrator. Operation part 2
When the mode selection switch is turned on, the display of the melody, tone, and vibe appears on the display unit 5, and by selecting one of them, the selection result of the melody, tone, and vibe is stored in the storage unit 10. .

At the time of an incoming call after the above settings are stored, the process is as follows. First, turn on the power of this wireless receiver.
Leave N. When there is an incoming call in this state, the antenna 1
1. Reception is detected via the wireless unit 1.
Reception detection is performed by, for example, the antenna 11 provided in the wireless unit 1.
It is performed depending on whether the amplified output for amplifying the received signal from is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value. The reception detection signal 1a is sent to the control unit 3, which controls the human body detection unit 12 to detect the human body detection signal 1a.
Check if 2a has occurred. If the human body detection signal 12a is not output, the control unit 3 determines the storage unit 1
The call form set and stored is read out from 0, and the drive unit 6 or 8 corresponding to the call form is driven, and the melody,
If it is a tone, a predetermined sound is emitted from the sounding body 7, and if it is a vibrate, the vibrating body 9 is vibrated. On the other hand, when the human body detection signal 12 a is output, the setting storage content of the storage unit 10 is ignored and the control unit 3 automatically and forcibly vibrates the vibrating body 9 via the drive unit 8.

The receiver recognizes that there is an incoming call by sound or vibration, and gives an instruction to display the incoming call. When this instruction is given, the wireless unit 1 amplifies, demodulates, and decodes the received signal, and sends the decoded signal 1b to the control unit 3. The control unit 3 displays the received content on the display unit 5 via the drive unit 4. It should be noted that although the method of receiving an incoming call and instructing the content of the incoming call and displaying it after that is used, if not, if there is an incoming call when the power is on, the wireless unit 1, the control unit 3, the drive unit, and the like. A method of automatically displaying on the display unit 5 via the unit 4 may be adopted.

The human body detecting section 12 uses, for example, a pyroelectric infrared sensor for detecting far infrared rays of the human body. Far infrared rays are emitted from the human body, and by detecting this, the wireless receiver is attached to the human body (in the pocket, attached to the band, held in the hand, etc.). I understand. It should be noted that a switch is attached to the human body detection unit 12 or the detection signal 12a of the human body detection unit 12 is set in the control unit 3.
If a switch for selecting whether or not to take in is provided, even when the human body is worn, if these switches are OFF, the call is performed according to the setting contents of the storage unit 10.

FIG. 2A shows an external view of the wireless receiver. The wireless receiver 20 includes a power switch 26, a power switch ON display unit 24, a display unit (liquid crystal display unit) 23 for displaying received contents and various interactive operations, and a select switch 2.
