Description

Digital watch with call function

The present invention relates to a wrist watch, and in particular, by using a duplicate function of a wrist pager (radio pager or beeper) having a watch function in addition to a call function and a wrist watch on the wrist, The present invention relates to a digital watch having a calling function.

Clocks that tell the current time have developed over a long history. Recently, a watch 10, as shown in FIG. 1, worn by individuals on their wrists, is commonly used. Such a watch usually has a generally circular dial display to indicate time, hour, minute, and second hands. The digital wrist employs an analog method for displaying time while rotating, and a digital time display method with a display unit 16 for displaying only the current time using 7-segment liquid crystal display elements. Clock 10 is also common.

In recent years, the watch has become multifunctional and miniaturized, and it is a speaker for alarm function to display the date and the day of the week as well as the waterproof function that can continue operation in the water, and to make a sound at a specific time (18 ) In addition, a variety of functions, such as a lamp 17 to view the contents displayed in the dark place are all equipped with a small watch.

On the other hand, in recent years, the generalized wireless pager is basically equipped with a call function that informs the contact when a direct telephone call or the like cannot be contacted for reasons such as going out. Typically, the pager is made of a good size to be put on the waistband or put in the pocket, and if there is contact from the outside is provided with a liquid crystal display display for displaying a few letters and numbers and means for causing vibration or sound alarm.

Such a pager and the watch 10 are generally carried by many people at the same time, the digital LCD display display of the clock function or alarm function that is added to the wireless pager is a conventional digital watch (10). Most of the features overlap with).

Accordingly, the user having the radio pager and the watch 10 together has an unnecessary redundant function together, and one of them is rarely used.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve the problems described above, and by adding a calling function to the digital wrist watch, a digital wrist watch having a calling function configured to facilitate the user's convenience by removing the pager as an additional attachment. The purpose is to provide.

Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the appearance of the wristwatch to which the present invention is applied.

Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the watch according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, a digital wrist watch having a display unit including a liquid crystal display display device for displaying the time, call reception unit for receiving and outputting radio call information transmitted from the outside; An operation unit capable of setting a call mode for outputting information received from the call reception unit to the display unit and a clock mode for outputting a normal time to the display unit; And a control unit for controlling the display unit to display the normal time information or the information received by the call receiving unit according to the mode set by the operation unit.

Accordingly, by using the overlapping functions of the wireless pager having a watch function and the wristwatch worn on the wrist, the call function, which is an additional attachment, can be removed by adding the call function to the wrist watch for the convenience of the user. It can be effective.

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

1 is a schematic view showing an example of the appearance of a wrist watch to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a wristwatch according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The digital wrist watch 10 having a call function according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention has a display unit 16 including a liquid crystal display display device for displaying time as in the conventional digital wrist watch as shown in FIG. And a basic clock display function such as a timer 13 for setting the time. In particular, as shown in FIG. 2, the digital watch 10 includes a call receiving unit 14 for a wireless pager function, an operation unit 11 for setting a mode in which a calling function can be used, and a control unit for preconditioning it. 12).

The call receiver 14 is a means for receiving and outputting radio call information transmitted from the outside in the same way as a device mounted in a conventional radio pager.

The operation unit 11 is provided with operation keys for selecting the call mode and the clock mode. That is, a call mode for outputting the information received by the call receiver 14 to the display unit 16 and a watch mode for outputting the normal time to the display unit 16 can be set.

The control unit 12 may control the display unit 16 to display normal time information or information received from the call reception unit 14 according to the mode set by the operation unit 11.

Various components such as the control unit 12, the timer 13, the call reception unit 14, and the lamp 17 may receive power from the power supply unit 15 using a small battery such as a mercury battery. .

The operation of the watch 10 having such a configuration will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2 as follows.

Typically, the display 16 may be operated in a clock mode in which time is displayed. Then, any call signal from the outside may be received by the call receiving unit 14. At this time, the signal transmitted from the outside is the same information as the telephone number, and once this information is received, the call receiving unit 14 informs the control unit 12 of this. Then, the control unit 12 may display that call information has been received to the user by an alarm function such as the speaker 18.

Therefore, the user can select the call mode by operating the mode setting key or the like provided in the operation unit 11. Once the call mode is set, the control unit 12 may control the display unit 16 to display the received information received and stored by the call receiving unit 14.

Accordingly, since the calling function can be added to the wristwatch 10, the need to carry the wireless pager and the wristwatch in duplicate is eliminated.

As described above, according to the configuration and operation of the digital wristwatch having a call function according to an embodiment of the present invention, by adding a call function to the digital watch, the pager, which is an additional attachment, can be removed, thereby enhancing user convenience. It can work.

Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments, the present invention may be modified and modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or the scope of the present invention provided by the following claims. Those skilled in the art will readily recognize that there is a.
