It is connected to the 1st signal processing part 20 which is a process part.

The first signal processor 20 includes a first amplifier 21 and a first filter unit 22 for amplifying and filtering a paging data signal output from the antenna matching unit 10, and the first filter unit. A first mixer 25 which mixes the data signal filtered at 22 and the primary local oscillation frequency signal of the first local oscillator 23A amplified by the second amplifier 24 to form a primary intermediate frequency signal. Consists of.

In addition, the first signal processing unit 20 filters and amplifies the second filter unit 26 to remove unnecessary high frequency and low frequency signal components included in the first intermediate frequency signals output from the first mixer 25. ) And the second local oscillation frequency signal of the third amplifier 27, the data signal amplified by the third amplifier 27 and the second local oscillator 23B amplified by the fourth amplifier 28, And a second mixer 29 for forming a differential middle frequency signal.

The second intermediate frequency signal formed by the first signal processor 20 is applied to the second signal processor 30 which is an intermediate frequency signal processor, and the second signal processor 30 is output from the second mixer 29. It comprises a third filter part 31 and a fifth amplifier 32 for filtering and amplifying to remove unwanted high and low frequency components included in the secondary intermediate frequency signal.

In addition, the second signal processor 30 may include a frequency discriminator 33 and a quadrature detector 34 for demodulating the output signal amplified by the fifth amplifier 32, and the frequency discriminator ( 33) and a frequency shift keying (FSK) comparator 35 for converting the demodulated data signal at the rectangular detection 34 into a square wave.

Meanwhile, the square wave output from the second signal processor 30 is applied to the digital signal processor 40. The digital signal processor 40 includes a decoder 41 for decoding the square wave output from the FSK comparator 35; The memory unit 43 storing the pager-specific cap code matches the cap code decoded by the decoder 41 and the pager-specific cap code stored in the memory unit 43. In this case, the processor 42 is configured to transmit the data decoded by the decoder 41 to the terminal device through the interface unit 50.

On the other hand, four or more cap codes are stored in the memory unit 43, one of which is a cap code for an information service for receiving text information and text traffic information, and the other is a cap code for personal radio calling. The remaining two or more cap codes are specific information cap codes.

The cap code for personal radio call is a cap code used for receiving personal radio call data, and when the cap code for information service is provided on or off or the information item display code is registered and released. Also used for.

On the other hand, the cap code for the private radio call is given during the production of the pager, two or more identical cap codes cannot be used at the same frequency.

The cap code for information service is a cap code for services such as living information, text traffic information, etc.The cap code specified by the wireless call operator when the pager is produced is equally assigned to all pagers, and the wireless call operator remotely uses the cap for information service. Code and information items can be registered / unregistered remotely.

The specific information cap code is a broadcasting cap code for receiving specific information, for example, traffic information, and the cap code designated by the radio calling service provider during pager production is equally assigned to all pagers.

Meanwhile, the memory unit 43 stores at least 200 bytes of data and transmits the data to the terminal device through the interface unit 50, that is, the RS-232C communication port.

2 is a diagram showing the format of the transmission data transmitted to the information receiving pager configured as described above through the pager network. In the transmission data, 17 bytes form one packet, and the first byte (STX) is shown. ) Contains the preset data indicating the start of the packet, for example 02 (H), and the last byte (ETX) contains the preset data, such as 03 (H), indicating the end of the packet and the message in the middle 15 bytes. On board.

If the message transmitted through the pager network is more than 15 bytes, the paging system transmits the message as a continuous packet. If the end of the message does not fill the 15-byte data field, the specific value set in the remaining bytes, eg For example, an enter signal indicating the end of a message, for example 0D (H), is inserted in front of the last byte (ETX) which is filled with 20 (H) and marks the end of a packet.

In addition, the message portion of the packet transmitted by the capcode for personal radio call includes data for enabling or disabling the RS-232C port, which is the interface unit 50, for example, EEEEE (H) or FFFFF (H) is included. Therefore, information receiving pager transmits all incoming call and information data through RS-232C port if EEEEE (H) is included in the message part, and FFFFF (H) is included in message part of information receiving pager. If so, all incoming call and information data will not be transmitted through the RS-232C port. ** Please contact the mobile telecommunications service will be delivered to the user.

3A and 3B are flowcharts illustrating a method of controlling an information receiving pager according to the present invention applied to an information receiving pager configured as described above.

As shown in the figure, the paging data received through the antenna ANT is demodulated through the antenna matching unit 10, the first signal processing unit 20 and the second signal processing unit 30, the digital signal processing unit 40 When the decoder 41 is applied to the decoder 41, the decoder 41 decodes the transferred paging data and applies it to the processor 42 (101).

When the paging data decoded as described above is applied to the processor 42, the processor 42 may include a cap code in which the received paging data is stored in the memory unit 43, that is, a cap code for personal radio call and an information service cap. It is checked whether the code or specific information cap code is received.

That is, the processor 42 determines whether the received paging data is received through the private radio call cap code (102), and if the received paging data is received through the private radio call cap code, the received data is transmitted to the terminal device. Check whether the command to control the RS-232C communication port of the interface unit 50 is included.

For example, if EEEEE (H) is included in the message portion of the received data, the processor 42 enables the RS-232C communication port so that all subsequent call and information data can be received through the RS-232C communication port. Transfer to the terminal device (110,111).

In addition, if FFFFF (H) is included in the message portion of the received data, the processor (42) does not transmit the incoming call and information data to the RS-232C communication port, but is in charge of late payment. *** Please contact the mobile communication service unavailable message (112,113).

On the other hand, if the received data does not include a command for controlling the RS-232C communication port, the processor 42 may determine the pager so that the subscriber's information receiving pager can receive information services such as life information and text traffic information. It is checked whether the command for turning on / off the information receiving cap code is included in the message portion of the received data (114, 116).

If the message portion of the received data includes a command to turn on the pager cap code for receiving information, the processor 42 receives the pager to provide information services such as life information and text traffic information according to the received command. The cap code for receiving information of the pager is turned on (115).

In addition, if the message portion of the received data includes a command to turn off the page receiving cap code of the pager, the processor 42 according to the received command, the pager to provide information services such as life information, text traffic information, etc. The page receiving capcode is turned off so that it is not provided (116).

On the other hand, if the received data does not include an instruction to turn on / off the code receiving cap code of the pager, the processor 42 may determine information items that the pager may receive, for example, traffic information, It is checked whether a command for registering or releasing weather information, news, securities information, horse racing information, etc. is included in the message portion of the received data (118, 120).

If the message portion of the received data includes an instruction for registering an information item, the processor 42 registers the information item so that the pager can receive the information item according to the received command (119). If the message portion includes a command for releasing an information item, the pager releases the information item according to the received command so that the pager cannot receive the information item (121).

On the other hand, if the received data does not include a command for registering or releasing information items that can be received by the pager, the processor 42 determines that the received data is personal radio call information, and receives the received data from the interface unit ( 50) and transmits to the terminal device through (122).

If the received paging data has not been received through the private radio call cap code as described above (102), the processor 42 determines whether the received paging data has been received through the specific information cap code (103).

As a result of the determination, when the received data is received through the cap code for the specific information, the processor 42 receives the specific information transmitted through the pager network, for example, the traffic information, to communicate the RS-232C which is the interface unit 50. If the received data is not received through the specific information cap code through the port (104), it is determined whether the information service cap code is on (on) (105).

If the capcode for the information service is off, the pager cannot receive the information transmitted through the pager network, so the processor 42 ignores the received paging data (106) and the capcode for receiving the information is turned on ( If it is on, the processor 42 checks whether the received paging data is received by the cap code for receiving information stored in the memory unit 43 (107).

If the received paging data has not been received with the information receiving capcode, the processor 42 ignores the received paging data (106), and if the received paging data has been received with the information receiving capcode, the information item of the received data. It is determined whether it is registered with this pager (108).

As a result of the determination, since the received data is not available unless the information item of the received data is registered in the pager, the processor 42 ignores the received data (106), and the information item of the received data is registered in the pager. If so, the processor 42 transmits the received paging data together with the corresponding information item name to the terminal device through the RS-232C communication port (109).
