Description

Area name indication wireless pager by area code detection and its method

The present invention relates to a wireless pager having a text display function and a method thereof, and more particularly, to a wireless pager and a method for detecting the area code portion of a received message and displaying the area name corresponding to the area code as text information. will be.

Early paging receivers only had the ability to subscribe to a wireless paging service provider and receive only limited numeric information. However, as the wireless pagers are rapidly spreading and popularized, wireless pagers are required to receive and provide various information in addition to limited numerical information. Accordingly, a wireless pager that can receive and display text information along with service improvement of a wireless paging service provider has been developed. This is called a wireless pager having a generic character display function. The wireless pager having the text display function can transmit information that any message sender wants to convey to the pager user as well as a number, and the wireless pager can receive and display such information. . The present invention is to use the wireless pager having such a character display function to solve the inconvenience of using the pager described below to make the user more convenient to use.

In the following description of the background of the present invention, a general wireless pager user reports a received message and makes a phone call to a place corresponding to the message to perform a call with the sender who sent the message. At this time, the user of the pager did not know which region the received message was called from while making a call to the numeric information indicated in the received message, that is, a telephone number. It only looked at the numeric information that preceded the received message, ie the area code, and predicted the area where the message was sent, based on its own empirical knowledge. Therefore, users receive a message and cannot determine which region's telephone number is.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to detect a region number portion of a received message, and display a region name corresponding to the region code as text information so that a user can know the region name of the calling party's telephone number and its In implementing the method.

Accordingly, the present invention provides storage means for storing a plurality of predefined numeric information and character information corresponding to the numeric information, detection means for detecting numeric information of a received message, the detected numeric information and the stored numbers. Area number detection, comprising: comparison means for comparing whether or not the information is identical, and decision determination means for determining that the character information corresponding to the stored numeric information is outputted when the comparison means determines the same numeric information; The present invention proposes a local pager pager and its method.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram of a wireless pager having a text display function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the RF unit 111 receives radio call information and performs functions of frequency conversion, demodulation, and waveform shaping. Therefore, the message received by the RF unit 111 becomes radio call information converted into digital data. The output of the RF unit 111 is input to the decoder 112. The decoder 112 sets the operation mode of the pager by decoding the input data. That is, in the idle mode, the supply of the operating power is controlled at regular intervals to detect the preamble data. In the batch mode, the word sync data and the set frame data are decoded and converted into original data forms. The controller 113 receives the decoded data from the decoder 112. The controller 113 processes the received data to control an alarm function and a vibration function. The alarm unit 117 generates an alarm signal such as a tone signal or a vibration signal under the control of the controller 113. The display unit 116 displays the message of the calling party and the status information of the wireless pager by text or icon by the display control signal output from the control unit 113. The memory 115 has character information indicating an area code registered in the pager and an area name corresponding thereto according to the present invention. An example of the internal structure diagram of the memory 115 is shown in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 3, numerical information corresponding to each area code is set in a table format, and character information indicating an area name corresponding to the area code is assigned. In this case, the text information may be set in various languages, and the present invention will be described with an example in which 'English' and 'Korean' are set.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying, by text information, a region name corresponding to a region code of a received message according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a predetermined message is received by the pager in step 212. In step 214, the first digit of the received message is detected. In step 216, the received first digit information is compared with the numeric information corresponding to the area code registered in the memory 115. If it is determined that the numeric information does not match, the second digit information of the received message is detected in step 218. In step 220, it is determined whether the number information detected in step 218 matches the number information registered in the memory. The detection operation and the comparison operation are repeatedly performed up to an arbitrarily set N th digit. The N value is set according to the area code digit of the country where the user or the pager is used. For example, in the case of Korea, since the maximum area code digit is up to the fourth digit, the N value is set to '4'. When the detection and comparison process coincides with the numerical information registered in the memory, the display unit 116 displays the region name corresponding to the matched numerical information in step 231. An example of the area name display by this display operation is shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B. 4A illustrates that when the detected numerical information is '02', 'Seoul' corresponding to '02' is displayed. FIG. 4B is an example in which the character information registered in the memory 115 is in Korean. When '02' is received as in FIG. 4A, 'Seoul' is displayed on the display unit 116 of the pager in response thereto. After the region name for the region is displayed in step 231, or when there is no corresponding numeric information registered in the memory 115 in response to the numeric information of the received message in step 232, the received message in step 234. It is displayed as it is. An example of such a display is also shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B.

In summary, since the message received by the wireless pager is generally numerical information indicating the telephone number of the calling party, information from the first digit to an arbitrary digit, usually corresponding to an area code, is included in the numeric information. Detects and registers numerical information corresponding to an area code registered in advance in the pager and a corresponding area name and compares the detected area information with the detected information so that the corresponding area name is displayed on the display unit of the pager. .

As described above, the present invention provides the user with the advantage of knowing through the displayed text the region of the message received by the pager.
