DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a radio selective call receiver, and more particularly to a radio selective call receiver capable of giving a specific restriction to a message receiving notification operation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to prevent an erroneous call due to erroneous dialing in a radio selective calling receiver, a password is added to a telephone number of a radio selective calling receiver transmitted from a calling telephone (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. HEI 9-163572). 1-183924). According to JP-A-6-152499,
By providing a means for setting a report time in addition to a means for collating and reporting a received message including a password, the sender can be limited by time.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional radio selective calling receiver, all the received messages whose passwords could be verified by the radio selective calling receiver are received unconditionally. For this reason, for example, it is not possible to restrict reception of unnecessary messages from unimportant senders, and important messages stored in the message storage memory are discarded by unnecessary messages. There is.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a radio selective call receiver which can restrict the reception / reporting operation on the radio selective call receiver side.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A radio selective call receiver according to the present invention receives a received message including a specific number string for caller identification added by a caller, and receives a number string included in the received message. Means for comparing and collating with a previously stored numeric string to determine whether they match, a switch for instructing on / off of numeric string collating processing, and instructing a message storage on / off when a numeric string does not match. If a switch is provided and this switch indicates digit string collation ON, the received message of numeric string matching is stored and a notification process is performed. When the message storage OFF at the time is instructed, the received message with the numeric string match is stored and a notification process is performed, and the received message with the numeric string mismatch is discarded. Further, when the switch instructs to turn on the message storage when the numeric string does not match, the received message with the mismatch of the numeric string is stored, but the notification processing is not performed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. A receiving unit 2 for demodulating a radio signal received by the antenna 1, a switch unit 3 for operation, a control unit 4 for controlling the entire receiver, and a specific number string for sender identification included in the received message are compared. A character string collating unit 5, a character string storing unit 6 storing a specific character string in advance, a message storing unit 7 storing a received message, a reporting unit 8 reporting a message reception, a received message And a display unit 9 for displaying

[0008] The receiving section 2 demodulates the radio signal and sends out a received message including a numeric string to the control section 4. The number string for caller identification is a number string input by the caller together with the received message. For example, it is determined in advance that the last four digits of the caller's telephone number are input at the end of the received message.

The switch section 3 is a switch for setting the operation of the radio selective calling receiver, and the control section 4 performs various control operations according to the switch operation. The numeric string collating unit 5 is controlled by the control unit 4 to compare and collate the numeric string included in the received message with the numeric string stored in advance in the numeric string storage unit 6 to determine whether or not they match. The control unit 4 is notified of the indicated collation result. The numeric string storage unit 6 can store a plurality of numeric strings, and the control unit 4 can perform operations such as rewriting and deleting the numeric strings on the numeric string storage unit 6 by operating the switch unit 3.

The message storage unit 7 is controlled by the control unit 4 and stores the received message and a specific numeric string included in the received message. The reporting unit 8 reports by voice that the message has been received according to the instruction of the control unit 4 when the numeric string can be verified. The display unit 9 is a control unit 4
, The received message data is converted into display characters and displayed.

Next, an operation example of the control unit 4 will be described with reference to FIG.

The control unit 4 receives a received message including a numeric string from the receiving unit 2 and temporarily stores the received message in an internal memory of the control unit (step 101). Then, the state of the numeric string collation on / off switch provided in the switch section 3 is confirmed.
If the number string collation ON switch is set (step 102), the received message is analyzed to confirm the presence or absence of a number string (step 103). A collation process is performed with the number string stored in the number storage unit 6. If the number matches the number string stored in advance (step 104), the received message is stored in the message storage unit 7 (step 105).

If the collation results in step 104 do not match, a digit string mismatch flag is set (step 106). Then, the state of the message storage on / off switch provided when the number strings do not match, provided in the switch unit 3, is checked (step 107). If the message storage is off (not stored), the received message is discarded (step 108). If the message storage is ON (storage), the received message is stored even if the numeric strings do not match (step 105).

From among the received messages stored in the message storage unit 7, a received message whose numeric string matches is selected (step 109), displayed on the display unit 9 (step 110), and the report unit 8 is notified of the message reception. (Step 111). Note that among the messages stored in the message storage unit 7, the ones whose numeric strings do not match each other are:
It can be read out and displayed at any time by operating the switch of the switch unit 3.

As described above, the receiver side can arbitrarily set a numeral string, select a sender, and receive and report only a necessary received message. Further, since whether or not to store a message in the message storage unit can be selected, the message storage unit can be used effectively.

Next, another operation example of the control section 4 will be described with reference to FIG.

The control unit 4 receives the received message and a specific numeric string included in the received message from the receiving unit 2 (step 201), and stores it in the message storage unit 7 (step 202). Then, the state of the digit string collation on / off switch provided in the switch unit 3 is checked. If the switch is set to digit string collation on (step 203), the received message is analyzed to determine whether there is a digit string. Is checked, and if there is a number string (step 204), a collation process is performed with a number string stored in advance in the number string storage unit 6 and if it matches the previously stored number string (step 204), The received message is displayed on the display unit 9 (step 206), and further, the reception of the message is reported to the reporting unit 8 (step 207).

In step 205, if the collation result of the numeric string does not match, the display and the report of the received message are stopped. In step 203, if the switch is set to digit string collation off, the process of collating the digit string is omitted, and the display of the received message and the notification process are executed. In this way, it is possible to freely limit the reception notification operation on the receiver side.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, the number string for caller identification is arbitrarily set on the radio selective call receiver side, and the number string collation is turned on / off and the message is stored when the number strings do not match. By selecting ON / OFF,
The message storage memory can be used effectively. Also, since an arbitrary numeric string can be set as a password, it can be used as a more convenient wireless selective call receiver.
