2. Description of the Related Art In a first conventional wireless communication device, software controls both the reception control of the wireless part and the power supply control of the wireless part. Therefore, when the power of the wireless communication device is turned off, the power of the reception part must be turned on. It was off.

A second conventional example is Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-
The "portable wireless device" described in Japanese Patent No. 207222 is cited. This portable wireless device is powered on only within the set date and time by the user setting the power-on date and time, and the expiration date of the battery. After that, the use of this portable wireless device is stopped, and the purpose is to save the battery.

[0004]

In the wireless communication device of the first conventional example, when the power of the wireless communication device is turned off, the power supply of the receiver is always off. Even if the data addressed to the user of this wireless communication device is transmitted, the wireless communication device cannot receive the data, and the user manually turns on the power of the wireless communication device and the power of the receiving unit is turned on. Data could only be received later.

In addition, the portable radio device of the second conventional example has its main purpose of battery saving, and sets a use time zone.

Therefore, both the first and second conventional examples have a problem that the user cannot receive the latest data in a timely manner.

An object of the present invention is to provide a latest data receiving system in which the latest data addressed to the user is timely received by turning on the power supply of the wireless section at a cycle preset by the user (user). To provide.

[0008]

According to the present invention, even when the power of the wireless communication device is off, the power of the wireless communication device is turned on at a predetermined cycle to start the reception operation. A newest data reception system characterized by comprising means is provided.

Further, the latest data receiving method is obtained in which the receiving operation start cycle of the wireless communication device can be changed by the user.

Further, the radio communication device receives a radio wave from a radio base station, a timer with which a user can arbitrarily set a time limit, and turns on the power supply when the timer times out and A latest data receiving method is provided, which comprises a control unit that starts a receiving operation of the data only when the data received by the wireless unit includes the identification number information of the wireless communication device.

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1A is a system block diagram of a mobile communication system showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1B is a block diagram of a wireless communication device in FIG. 1A, and FIG. It is a flowchart which shows a flow.

Referring to FIG. 1, the mobile communication system of the present embodiment comprises a switchboard 2 for switching connection between a housed general telephone line 1 and a plurality of radio base stations 3 and 4, and a radio base station 3. It is composed of a wireless communication device 5 that is located in the service area and performs wireless communication with the wireless base station 3.

That is, in this embodiment, the radio communication device 5 can communicate with the general telephone line 1 through the radio base station 3 and the exchange 2 having the highest reception level.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the wireless communication device 5 includes a wireless unit 52 that transmits and receives radio waves to and from the wireless base station 3 through an antenna 51, and all of the wireless communication device 5 within the wireless communication device 5. A control unit 53 that performs sequence control, and a control unit 53
The memory 54 for storing the processing program executed by the user, the key input unit 55 for the user to set a time limit on a timer (not shown) in the power supply control unit 58 through the control unit 53, and the wireless unit 52 received from the wireless base station 3. The display unit 56 displays a message addressed to the own wireless communication device 5, and a power supply control unit 58 that supplies power from the backup battery 57 to the control unit 53 when the timer times out.

The processing program stored in the memory 54 controls the wireless section 52 and analyzes the data received by the wireless section 52 to analyze the display operation program P.
A wireless unit control program PA for notifying B is included, and a display output program PC for analyzing input data from the key input unit 55 and controlling output of display data to the display unit 56 is included.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the user sets the data reception interval from the radio base station 3 from the key input section 55 to the timer in the power supply control section 58, and starts the time limit (timing) of this timer.

The timer is always supplied with power from the backup battery 57 so that the timing pulse can be continuously counted even when the power of the control unit 53 is off.
Further, the user can estimate the cycle of data reception addressed to the wireless communication device 5 from past experience and set the reception interval arbitrarily.

When the timer times out (step S31), the power supply control unit 58 checks whether the power supply of the control unit 53 is on (S32). If NO here, that is, if the power supply of the control unit 53 is off. The power is turned on (S33).

Then, YES is obtained in S32, that is, the control unit 5
3 is on, or after the power of the control unit 53 is turned on in S33, the power supply control unit 58 notifies the control unit 53 of the timeout of the timer (S34) and restarts the timing (S35).

Upon receiving the time-out notification in S34, the control unit 53 executes the radio unit control program PA read from the memory 54. That is, the power controller 58 is instructed to receive power from the backup battery 57, the wireless unit 52 is powered on (S36), and the radio unit 52 receives the radio wave from the wireless base station 3 through the antenna 51. (S37).

The control unit 53 analyzes the information contained in the received radio wave to check the presence or absence of the identification number information (ID) of the wireless communication device 5 itself (S38).

If NO in S38, that is, if there is no ID of the own wireless communication device 5, it is determined that the received data is not addressed to the own wireless communication device 5, and the power supply control unit 58 supplies the power to the control unit 53. The power-off control unit 58 immediately turns off the power supply to the control unit 53, and turns on the power supply to the control unit 53 when the timer times out again.

If YES in S38, that is, if the ID of the own wireless communication device 5 is present, it is determined that the received data is addressed to the own wireless communication device 5 and the display output program PC is executed (S).
310).

That is, the LED of the display unit 56 is turned on to notify the user that the message has been received (S3).
11). The received message can be displayed on the display unit 56.

[0027]

As described above, the present invention comprises the reception starting means for turning on the power of the wireless communication device at a predetermined cycle to start the receiving operation even when the power of the wireless communication device is off. In addition, since the user can change the reception operation start cycle of the wireless communication device, the wireless communication device further sets the wireless unit that receives the radio wave from the wireless base station and the user arbitrarily sets the time limit. And a control for starting the reception operation of this data only when the power supply is turned on when the timer times out and the data received by the wireless unit includes the identification number information of the wireless communication device By providing the unit, it is possible to turn on the power of each wireless communication device in a timely manner and receive the latest data addressed to this wireless communication device.
