JPH09331564A - Selective calling radio receiver - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce power consumption of a built in battery and to store reception information even during stop of a notice function. SOLUTION: When the radio selective calling receiver is not vibrated because a carrying person does not use the receiver, a signal from a vibration detection section 14 is stopped. A CPU 4 detects the presence of a signal from the vibration detection section 14 and the CPU 4 stores reception information in a memory of the CPU 4 when the signal is not detected and when the signal from the vibration detection section 14 is in existence, the content of reception information is outputted to an output control section 5. When the signal from the vibration detection section 14 is always in existence, the CPU 4 always outputs the content of reception information to the carrying person to inform it thereto. The content of the reception information is used to energize a vibrator 10 or a speaker 11 through the setting of a display section 7 and a selector switch.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a radio selective calling receiver, and more particularly, to a radio selective calling receiver of a battery power consumption type which performs reception notification by display, ringing, vibration and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional radio selective call receiver of this type will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a first conventional example.

In FIG. 5, the first conventional example shows the disclosed contents of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-240026, which is a vibration sensing unit 101 for sensing the vibration of the apparatus, and the vibration sensing unit 101.
However, the power switch unit 102 is turned on when vibration is sensed.
And a timer unit 103 that turns off the power switch after a lapse of a certain time after the power switch 102 is turned on. By turning on the power due to the vibration of the device and turning off the power after a lapse of the certain time, When the device is vibrating, the power is always turned on when the device is not vibrating, and when the device is not vibrating, the power is turned off so that contact can be surely made and wasteful consumption of the battery can be eliminated.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a second embodiment.

In FIG. 6, this second conventional example shows the disclosed contents of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-264828, and is a mode for switching between the function of manually stopping the operation of the reception notification function and the function of automatically stopping it. The changeover switch 209, an automatic reset setting switch 211 for automatically stopping any of the various reception notification functions when the manual stop function is selected, and the automatic reset setting switch 2
The timer 206 automatically stops the reception notification function selected in 11 after a predetermined time elapses. That is,
When the receiver detects its own calling, it starts the operation of the reception notification function and simultaneously operates the timer 206. When the timer 206 measures a predetermined time, the state of the mode changeover switch 209 is checked, When the mode changeover switch 209 selects the manual stop function, the state of the auto reset setting switch 211 is checked, and the call notification function control unit 207 that stops the operation of the reception notification function corresponding to the set switch is provided. Even if the various reception notification functions are switched to the manual reset state,
Since the reception notification function set by the auto-reset setting switch 211 can be automatically reset after the lapse of a predetermined time measured by the timer 206, even if the user forgets to press the reset button 210, the current such as display or vibration can be displayed. The operation of the reception notification function, which consumes a large amount, is stopped after a predetermined time, and unnecessary current consumption can be prevented to extend the battery life.

[0007]

In the case of the first conventional example, this conventional radio selective calling receiver has a timer section for turning off the power switch after a certain period of time when the power switch turned on when vibration is sensed. Since it is provided, there is a problem in that even if a call is made, the call cannot be received while the power switch is off.

In the case of the second conventional example, when the mode change switch selects the manual stop function, the state of the auto reset setting switch is checked and the operation of the reception notification function corresponding to the set switch is stopped. Therefore, when the operation of the reception notification function is stopped, there is a problem that there is no means for automatically recovering it and a problem that there is no means for confirming the presence / absence of reception information during the stop after the stop is released.
