Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the utility procedure and to utilize a radio wave effectively by recording a collation code corresponding to a manufacture number and storing a designated identification code ID, a reception frequency F and a reception timing T corresponding to the code to a memory automatically through the remote control of a communication enterprise when the user starts to use a receiver. SOLUTION: The user purchasing a receiver R makes a phone call to the operator of a management center to inform the manufacture number of the receiver and the user sets the receiver to the start mode. Then the management center sends an IDo , an Fo , and a To corresponding to the manufacture number and a reception section 20 receives them. A manufacture number collations section 1 collates them. When they are coincident, a control section 3 instructs a setting change to a setting change section 2. Designated IDi , Fi ,Ti sent succeedingly from the management center are stored temporarily to a buffer B, and the initial setting values stored in a memory M are replaced with the IDi , Fi , Ti and they are displayed on a display section 10 for confirmation. Thus, it is prevented that receivers with respective frequencies assigned to them are left as they are for inventory.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is used for mobile communication. The present invention relates to a technique for remotely setting a subscriber parameter of a radio pager (pager).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a radio paging receiver used in a radio paging system receives a radio wave transmitted from a base station and recognizes its own identification code in the radio wave, it displays a message to that effect and calls the user. Notify that has been done. Each of a number of paging receivers that receive radio waves transmitted by the base station has its own identification code, and its own frequency and timing to be received. As a result, the radio paging receiver stops the receiving operation at times other than the reception timing at which the frame to be received is transmitted, and can perform battery saving.

Conventionally, the assignment of the identification code, the reception frequency and the reception timing has been performed in advance at the time of shipment from a factory or at the time of delivery to a communication carrier. In order to write the information of the assigned identification code, reception frequency and reception timing to the memory of the radio paging receiver, a dedicated connection device is used to connect to the internal circuit of the radio paging receiver, It is necessary to write the identification code, the receiving frequency and the allocation information of the receiving timing into the memory of the radio pager using a special writing device. It is impossible for a general user to perform these operations. In addition, it is indispensable as a measure to prevent unauthorized use to have a structure in which general users cannot easily modify the internal circuit.

[0004]

As described above, in the conventional apparatus, the communication carrier manufactures a radio paging receiver to which a unique identification code, a reception frequency and a reception timing are assigned, and keeps a large number of these radio paging receivers. Need arises. Here, the identification code, the reception frequency, and the reception timing assigned to a large number of paging receivers in stock result in a long time remaining unused even though there is no user yet. . In particular, it is not preferable that there is an assignment of a frequency and a reception timing that are left unused, from the viewpoint of effective use of radio waves.

[0005] Further, when the radio paging receiver is purchased in the state where the end user is not determined, such as a gift, the identification code assigned to the radio paging receiver is also provided until the end user reaches the end user. , The reception frequency and the reception timing are left unused. further,
If the person receiving the gift or the like decides that the item is a dead item, the identification code, reception frequency and reception timing assigned to the paging receiver are left unused for an extremely long period of time.

[0006] Further, as a manufacturer that manufactures the hardware of the radio paging receiver, the paging receiver of the radio paging receiver receives a plan for assigning a new identification code, reception frequency and reception timing from a communication carrier. Manufacturing cannot proceed independently, and it becomes difficult to make a production plan autonomously to reduce manufacturing costs.

In view of the above problems, in order to distinguish between the manufacture and sale of the hardware of the radio pager and the subscription to the communication network of the radio pager,
Manufactures and sells radio pagers with unconfigured memory, and when a user wishes to purchase and operate the radio pager, bring the radio pager to the carrier and use the special Using a simple connection device and writing device,
There is a method of writing the identification code, reception frequency, and reception timing assigned at that time to a memory.

[0008] However, in this case, even if an attempt is made to expand the sales channel of the radio paging receiver, since the user who wishes to use must visit the telecommunications carrier at least once, the radio paging reception in an area where the telecommunications carrier does not exist nearby. The sale of the machine has little meaning for those who want to use it. In addition, a product requiring a troublesome procedure by a user who wishes to use the product is low in value as a product.

Therefore, it is necessary to write the identification code, the reception frequency, and the reception timing allocated to the memory of the radio call receiver without the purchaser going to the communication carrier.

A technique for remotely rewriting the parameters of a radio paging receiver by using a radio signal is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.
No. 22933. However, the technique disclosed in this publication is for rewriting a parameter of a radio pager that has been set using a radio signal.
The above publication states that no parameters are set when the radio paging receiver is in stock before sale, or that the user cannot use the radio paging receiver just after purchasing it. And that the user can set up to use the telephone by calling the communication company after purchasing the paging receiver and performing an operation start request procedure. The above-mentioned publication does not disclose how to use the serial number described on the surface of the radio paging receiver to set the activation.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Sho 63-174434 and Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 2-174434 disclose a technique for remotely rewriting an identification code once set in a radio pager using a radio signal.
199324, JP-A-2-234522,
It is described in JP-A-3-22633 and JP-A-4-70018.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above background, and has a radio paging system in which an identification code, a reception frequency, and a reception timing can be written into a memory by a remote operation in accordance with an operation start request of a user. An object of the present invention is to provide a receiver, a radio paging system, and a station device. The present invention relates to a radio paging receiver capable of distinguishing between the manufacture and sale of hardware and the participation in a communication network,
An object of the present invention is to provide a radio paging method and a station device. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a radio paging receiver, a radio paging method, and a station device that can effectively use radio waves.

[0013]

A first aspect of the present invention is a radio pager, in which a serial number is represented in a form that can be recognized by a human, and a code corresponding to the serial number is recorded in a built-in memory. The radio paging receiver has the identification code set to the specific code ID ₀ , the reception frequency set to the specific frequency F ₀ , and the reception timing set to the specific timing T ₀ . The feature of the present invention is that, when the start mode is set, a means for checking a code corresponding to a serial number in accordance with a code received at reception frequency T ₀ at reception frequency F ₀ , and means for checking this code If the collation is performed correctly, the means for recording the specified identification code IDi, the specified reception frequency Fi and the specified reception timing Ti which are subsequently received in the memory, and the specified identification code IDi, the specified reception frequency Fi and the specified reception timing Ti Means for setting autonomously as parameters unique to the receiver.

[0014] That is, the user who has purchased the radio call receiver calls the telephone number specified by the communication carrier (described in the instruction manual), and then calls the operator of the communication carrier to purchase the radio call receiver. Give the serial number of the receiver. The operator newly assigns the identification code ID _i , the reception frequency F _i , and the reception timing T _{i to} the radio pager having the serial number, and operates the base station to transmit the radio including the code corresponding to the serial number. The signal is received at a receiving frequency F ₀ ,
To send the reception timing T _0. The paging receiver receiving the radio signal including the code corresponding to the serial number rewrites the memory of the paging receiver with the specified identification code IDi, the specified reception frequency Fi, and the specified reception timing Ti.

[0015] Thus, the identification code, frequency, and frame can be individually assigned by remote control after the paging receiver is sold. Therefore, unused identification codes, reception frequencies, and reception timings are not left for a long time. In particular, the elimination of the assignment of the reception frequency and the reception timing left unused is useful from the viewpoint of effective use of radio waves.

In the sold state, it is desirable that the power-on mode be set automatically when the power is turned on by an operation of a user who wants to use the apparatus. Immediately after being sold,
It is desirable that a user who wishes to use the wireless call receiver can set the activation mode by a simple operation (for example, an operation such as pressing a push button). Alternatively, the start mode may be automatically set by a specific operation input and / or by receiving a specific control code. For example, if the user needs to change the identification code to another identification code after the operation mode is set and the operation is started, the activation mode can be set again. By doing so, the user can hand over the radio call receiver to another person.

After the designated identification code IDi, designated reception frequency Fi and designated reception timing Ti are set,
It is also possible to adopt a configuration including means for switching to the operation mode by receiving a specific control code. Further, in the start mode, a configuration may be provided in which a means for displaying a display corresponding to the unique parameter is provided on a display surface. In this case, for example, a person who wishes to use the radio pager confirms the setting of the specified identification code IDi, the specified reception frequency Fi, and the specified reception timing Ti by display, and communicates them in a telephone conversation with the operator. After notifying the carrier, a control code from the carrier can be received to set the operation mode. Therefore, if an erroneous setting is performed, the setting can be performed again in the startup mode.

Here, the "manufacturing number" is a code composed of a combination of numerals and letters, and is set so that the same number does not occur among a plurality of manufacturers who manufacture the radio pager. Also, in order to prevent the same number from being generated within a single manufacturer, the communication number used in advance for the equipment that has been systematically assigned and manufactured and sold must be assigned to this serial number and this serial number in advance. By notifying the corresponding code, the telecommunications carrier can set the start-up according to the operation start request from the user.

The present invention is different from the technique disclosed in the above-mentioned publication in using the serial number. Thus, in the device of the present invention, the device is manufactured or sold, and before the operation start request, the identification code is set to the specific code ID ₀ in common to all paging receivers (or in common for each manufacturer). The reception frequency can be set to the specific frequency F ₀ and the reception timing can be set to the specific timing T ₀ . Until user to the operation start request, the power switch of the radio paging receiver is essentially in a state of off, other than the receiver that the operation start request even if the radio paging in a specific code ID ₀ It is not received by the receiver. Even if the receiver other than the receiver requesting operation start is in the power-on state due to erroneous operation or mischief,
Since the code corresponding to the serial number transmitted to the wireless signal does not match, the receiver that has been turned on by accident is not set to the activated state. That is, there is no need to prepare a large number of specific codes ID ₀ or specific frequencies F ₀ .

A second aspect of the present invention is a radio paging system, which specifies a radio base station connected to a communication network and a radio signal transmitted by the radio base station in accordance with a signal coming from the communication network. A wireless paging system including a plurality of wireless paging receivers including means for displaying a call when an identification code matching the identification code is received. It is a feature of the present invention that a newly subscribed radio paging receiver has a serial number written in a form that can be recognized by a human, a code corresponding to the serial number is recorded in a built-in memory, and an identification code is recorded. When the specific code ID ₀ , the reception frequency is set to the specific frequency F ₀ , the reception timing is set to the specific timing T ₀ , and the start mode is set, the reception frequency F ₀ is set according to the code received at the reception timing T _0. Means for collating the code corresponding to the serial number, and when the collation is correctly performed by the means for collating, the specified identification code IDi received subsequently,
Means for recording the specified reception frequency Fi and the specified reception timing Ti in a memory; and means for autonomously setting the specified identification code IDi, the specified reception frequency Fi and the specified reception timing Ti as parameters unique to the receiver, The radio base station transmits an operation setting signal including a specified identification code IDi, a specified reception frequency Fi, and a specified reception timing Ti to the newly added paging receiver in accordance with an operation input from the communication network. It is provided with a means for performing.

A third aspect of the present invention is a radio base station apparatus, which is connected to a communication network and designates one radio paging receiver for a radio signal to be transmitted according to a signal coming from the communication network. This is a wireless base station device provided with a unit for transmitting a code. A feature of the present invention is that an operation setting signal including a specified identification code IDi, a specified reception frequency Fi, and a specified reception timing Ti is transmitted to a radio call receiver to be newly added in accordance with an operation input from the communication network. Is transmitted as a wireless signal.

9). The management center 70 confirms that the setting has been changed without error, and transmits an operation mode setting signal to the paging receiver R via the base station 60 (S50). When receiving the operation mode setting signal from the receiving unit 20, the mode setting unit 4 changes the mode from the startup mode to the operation mode. Further, the operator of the management center 70 transmits a test signal for a call test (S51), and asks the user whether or not a call has been made ("Is a call made?") (S52). Upon receiving a response ("performed") from the user (S53), the operator of the management center 70 reports the end of the procedure to the user ("please use it") and ends all the procedures. (S54).

Thereafter, the paging receiver R starts an operation of receiving the identification code ID _j at the reception frequency F _j and the frame j (reception timing T _j ). Also, the designated identification code ID _j , the designated reception frequency F _j , the designated reception timing T _j
If a display different from that shown on the display unit 10 is displayed, the operator of the management center 70 executes the rewriting procedure shown in FIG. 7 again in the startup mode without transmitting the operation mode setting signal. . This procedure is repeated until the rewriting is performed reliably.

In this example, the user sets the identification code _IDi to ID
_Since it is desired to change to _j , the reception frequency F _i = F _j and the reception timing T _i = T _j may be set.

As described above, according to the present invention,
The identification code, the reception frequency, and the reception timing can be written into the memory by remote control according to the operation start request of the user. Thus, a distinction can be made between making and selling hardware and joining a communication network. As a result, the radio waves can be used effectively. The user who purchased the receiver does not need to perform complicated operations, such as bringing the receiver to the office of the communication carrier and receiving necessary parameter settings.
