DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a paging receiver to which the present invention is applied will be described below with reference to the drawings. (First Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows an external view of a paging receiver. In this case, the paging receiver has the display unit 2 on the surface of the receiver body 1, the key input unit 3 on the upper surface, and the power supply switch 4 on the side surface.

FIG. 2 shows a circuit configuration of such a paging receiver. In the figure, 11 is an antenna,
The antenna 11 is connected to the RF receiver 12, and the receiver 12 is connected to the CPU 14 via the decoder 13. The RF receiver 12 is adapted to demodulate the radio signal received by the antenna 11.

An ID-ROM 15 is connected to the decoder section 13. The ID-ROM 15 stores an ID code individually assigned to the paging receiver, specifically, frame data, address data and the like.
The D code is given to the decoder section 13. In addition, in the first embodiment, the address data of the individual address individually set in the paging receiver and the address data of the group address commonly set by the plurality of paging receivers are stored. The address data stored in is not limited to these two types, and the third and fourth address data such as address data for receiving the information service may be stored in advance.
Further, if the ID-ROM 15 is composed of a non-volatile but rewritable EEPROM, it is possible to change the stored address data or to perform a new march. The decoder unit 13 intermittently drives the RF reception unit 12 based on the ID code fetched from the ID-ROM 15, and decodes the calling signal in the radio signal demodulated by the RF reception unit 12, and determines that this matches the ID code. Then, the call detection signal and the subsequently received message data are sent to the CPU 14.

In addition to the display unit 2 and the key input unit 7 described above, the CPU 14 has a speaker 16, a vibrator 17, and L.
The ED 18, ROM 19 and RAM 20 are connected. The display unit 2 displays various data sent from the CPU 14, is composed of a liquid crystal display device having a display buffer drive circuit, and displays an illustration or the like in segments. In this case, another display element can be used as the display means, and for example, an EL display, a plasma display or the like can also be used.

Under the control of the CPU 14, the speaker 16 informs a call to the paging receiver via a drive circuit (not shown). Similarly, the vibrator 17 vibrates the call and the LED 18 lights the call. The output is made by lighting or blinking.

The ROM 19 stores a control program prepared in advance for the CPU 14, and also stores the facial expression pattern table shown in FIG. This facial expression pattern table includes, as facial expression patterns, a basic pattern 31 that imitates a human face, for example, a personal address facial expression pattern 32 corresponding to personal address data, and a group address pattern 33 corresponding to groove address facial expression data. I remember.

The RAM 20 stores the message data sent at the time of calling. CPU14
Controls the respective circuits as a whole according to a control program stored in the ROM 19.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. In this case, in step 401, when the RF receiving unit 12 receives the calling signal for calling the paging receiver via the antenna 11, the RF receiving unit 12 demodulates the calling signal and gives it to the decoder unit 13. Then, the decoder unit 13 compares the calling signal demodulated in step 402 with the address data of the ID code individually assigned to the paging receiver given from the ID-ROM 15. Here, as the address data in the ID code of the ID-ROM 15, both a personal address and a group address are set in advance.

Here, if the personal address of the ID code set in the ID-ROM 15 and the address data of the calling signal match, then in step 403 YE
The result is S, and the process proceeds to step 404. In step 404, it is determined whether the address is for personal use or for group use. Since it is determined here that the address is for personal use, the process proceeds to step 405.

In step 405, the facial expression pattern table shown in FIG. 3 stored in the R0M 19 and the personal address facial expression pattern 32 as the personal address are read out together with the basic pattern 31, and these facial expression patterns are displayed on the display unit 2. It In this case, the display of the facial expression pattern on the display unit 2 is, for example, “49
When "19" is received, the basic pattern 31 is displayed with the message "4919" as shown in FIG. 5A, and the facial expression pattern for personal address is shown with the message "4919" shown in FIG. 5B. The display of 32 can be switched alternately.

On the other hand, the ID set in the ID-ROM 15
If the group address in the code matches the address of the calling signal, it is determined in step 404 that the address is for the group, and the process proceeds to step 406.

In step 406, the basic pattern 31 and the group address expression pattern 33 are read from the expression pattern table shown in FIG. 3 stored in the ROM 19 for the group address, and these expression patterns are displayed on the display unit 2. . In this case, the display of the facial expression pattern on the display unit 2 is, for example, “49
When "19" is received, the basic pattern 31 is displayed with the message "4919" as shown in FIG. 5 (a), and for the group address with the message "4919" as shown in FIG. 5 (c). The display of the facial expression pattern 32 can be switched alternately.

Therefore, according to such an embodiment, it is set in the ID-ROM 15 whether the address data of the calling signal received by the RF receiver 12 via the antenna 11 is a personal address or a group address. Determined by comparing with the address data of the ID code, and from this determination result, R
From the facial expression pattern table stored in the OM 19 shown in FIG. 3, together with the basic pattern 31, the facial expression pattern for personal address 32 or the facial expression pattern for group address 33.
Since it is read out and displayed on the display unit 2, it becomes possible to quickly know from the display content of the display unit 2 whether the received message is for a personal address or for a group address. Compared with displaying only the received message, it is possible to reliably prevent an incorrect response to the received message.

In the first embodiment, the ID stored in the ID-ROM 15 is used as a determining means for determining the calling signal.
Although the address of the code is used, the present invention is not limited to this, and the function bit data (control signal) in the received call signal may be used for the determination. (Second Embodiment) The schematic configuration of a paging receiver in the second embodiment is similar to that of FIG. 2, and in this case, the ROM 19 has a facial expression pattern table shown in FIG. 6, a fixed phrase table shown in FIG. The free message table shown in FIG. 8 is stored.

Here, in the facial expression pattern table shown in FIG. 6, for example, in addition to the basic pattern 61 as the facial expression pattern that imitates a human face, the normal message facial expression pattern 6 is used.
2. A facial expression pattern 63 for a fixed sentence and a facial expression pattern 64 for a free message are stored, and corresponding to each designated code included in the message data as control data, for example,
A normal message facial expression pattern 62 is defined for a normal message that uses numbers, and a standard sentence facial expression pattern 63 is defined for a standard sentence message that is defined by the standard message specified code. A free message facial expression pattern 64 is obtained for each free message using a character string based on the free message table.

The fixed phrase table shown in FIG. 7 stores fixed phrase messages in correspondence with message codes. For example, the message code "01" indicates "Kinkyu" and the message code "02" indicates "TEL SEL. I am able to get the fixed phrase message.

The free message table shown in FIG. 8 stores characters corresponding to free message codes (two digits). For example, the free message code "00" is "A" and the free message code "". "01" is used to obtain "a".

Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Again, step 90
In 1, when the RF receiving unit 12 receives the calling signal via the antenna 11, the RF receiving unit 12 demodulates the received signal and gives it to the decoder unit 13. The decoder unit 13 determines whether the demodulated calling signal matches the ID code individually assigned to the paging receiver, which is given from the ID-ROM 15. Then, only when they match, the ringing signal detection signal associated with the ringing signal reception is sent to the CPU 14.

Next, in step 902, it is determined whether or not message data follows the calling signal. Here, if the message data is not continued, the process proceeds to step 903, and only the reception notification accompanied by the calling signal is performed. In the reception notification in this case, only the notification by any of the speaker 16, the vibrator 17, and the LED 18 and the fact that there is a call are displayed on the display unit 2.

On the other hand, if the calling signal is followed by message data, the process proceeds to step 904. In step 904, the type of message data following the calling signal is determined by the designated code.

If it is determined that there is no designated code and the message is a normal message using numbers corresponding to the message code, the process proceeds to step 905, and the basic pattern 61 and the normal message facial expression pattern 62 are obtained from the facial expression pattern table shown in FIG. The read and received normal message (here, “4919”) is displayed on the display unit 2.

In this case, the display unit 2 displays the standard sentence designating code based on the normal message and displays only the basic pattern 61 shown in FIG. 10A and the normal message "4919" as shown in FIG. The display of the normal message facial expression pattern 62 accompanied by “” can be switched alternately.

If it is determined in step 904 that the message is a fixed text message using a fixed text, the flow advances to step 906 to read the basic pattern 61 and the fixed expression facial expression pattern 63 from the expression pattern table shown in FIG. , Together with the received fixed form message (here, “Kinkyu” corresponding to the message code “01”) is displayed on the display unit 2.

In this case, the display unit 2 displays the basic pattern 61 shown in FIG. 10 (b) along with the display of the fixed message "Kinkyu" and the fixed pattern expression pattern 63 shown in FIG. The display can be switched alternately.

Further, in step 904, the free message designation code is determined from the message data, and when it is determined that the message is a free message using the character string corresponding to the free message code, the process proceeds to step 907 and is shown in FIG. The basic pattern 61 and the free message facial expression pattern 64 are read from the facial expression pattern table, and the received message by the free message (here, "K" corresponding to the free message code "10" and "E" corresponding to "03") is received. , “82” and “82”) are displayed on the display unit 2.

In this case, the display on the display unit 2 is accompanied by the display of the free message message "frog" shown in FIG.
The display of the basic pattern 61 shown in (c) and the display of the free message facial expression pattern 64 shown in FIG. 13 can be switched alternately.

Therefore, according to such a second embodiment,
Whether the message data received by the RF receiving unit 12 via the antenna 11 is a normal message or a fixed text message,
It is determined whether or not it is a free message message, and based on the result of the determination, the facial expression pattern table shown in FIG. Since the pattern 64 is read out and displayed on the display unit 2, it becomes possible to quickly know from the display contents of the display unit 2 whether the received message is a normal message, a fixed text message, or a free message. Also in this case, it is possible to reliably prevent an erroneous response to a message as compared with the conventional display of only the received message.

Although the first and second embodiments are independent of each other, if the ROM 19 stores the facial expression pattern table shown in FIG. 3 and the facial expression pattern table shown in FIG. 6, it is received. It is also possible to read out the corresponding facial expression patterns from the two display pattern tables according to the calling signal and the message data and display them alternately. Further, in the present embodiment, all of the displayed facial expression patterns are alternately displayed by two patterns, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the facial expression patterns may be divided into a still image display and a switching display depending on the stored contents of the facial expression pattern table. Of course, the display is not limited to two patterns, and switching display may be made with three patterns or more.

[0039]

As described above, according to the receiving apparatus to which the present invention is applied, it is possible to promptly know which address the received calling signal is due to from the illustration displayed on the display means. It is possible to reliably prevent an incorrect response to the received message.

Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to quickly know from the illustration displayed on the display means whether the received message data is a normal message, a fixed text message, or a free message. It is possible to reliably prevent an incorrect response to.
