Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 1, the controller 10 controls the overall operation and analyzes the received data. The controller 10 may be implemented as a one chip microprocessor. The memory 20 includes a ROM for storing a predetermined operating program and an EEPROM for backing up option data and messages. The display unit 30 displays the received message and displays the state of the pager by an icon or the like. In particular, the display unit 30 is provided with an editing command for editing a message received in the phonebook data input mode, for example, enter (Enter) and delete (Delete) and undo (Undo). ) Is displayed. The key input unit 40 has a lead key for reading received data and a mode key for selecting a mode, and in particular, four search keys (up, down, left, right) for searching the data of the telephone book of the present invention. It is provided. The receiver 50 amplifies, filters, and converts the radio call signal received through the antenna ANT into a signal of intermediate frequency. The demodulator 60 receives the signal of the intermediate frequency, amplifies and demodulates the demodulated signal in the form of a post office coded standard advisory group (POCSAG) which is an original transmission signal. The decoder 70 detects a preamble and word sync from the bread code and performs battery saving.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a phone book data input method in a wireless pager according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, first, when a predetermined key is input from the outside, the controller 10 sets the pager to the phonebook data input mode in step 201. If the phonebook data input mode is set, the controller 10 proceeds to step 203 to display an editing command on the upper portion of the display unit 30, and reads the received message from the memory 20 to display on the display unit 30. At this time, the messages are continuously displayed as shown in a of FIG. 3, and the messages are separated by commas. If a message is displayed in step 203, the controller 10 proceeds to step 205 and determines whether data to be edited is selected by input of a write / left / up / down key among the search keys. If data is selected in step 205, the controller 10 places the inverse phase in the data of the data field selected in step 207. When the reverse phase is located in the data to be edited, the control unit 10 checks whether the edit command line feed, delete, previous state return command is selected in steps 209, 213, and 217. If the line feed command is selected, the controller 10 proceeds to step 211 and moves the data after the reversed phase to the next line. If the delete command is selected, in step 215, the data on which the reverse phase is located is deleted. Also, if the return to previous state command is selected, it returns to the state previously executed.

When editing is completed in step 205 to step 219, the controller 10 proceeds to step 221 to check whether a storage command is selected. The storage command is executed when the transfer command displayed on the display unit 30 is selected. If the storage command is selected in step 221, the controller 10 detects the first character of each line in step 223. After detecting the first data of each line, the controller 10 determines whether the detected data is a character in step 225. If the detected data is a character, the process proceeds to step 227 and stored in the name field of the telephone number table as shown in Table 1 below. However, if it is not a letter, the method proceeds to step 229 to determine whether it is a number. After step 227 or step 231, the controller 10 proceeds to step 233 to determine whether the line is at the end, and terminates at the end of the line.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a process of editing a message displayed on a liquid crystal display according to the present invention and inputting the message into a phone book. Referring to FIG.

Since a message is displayed continuously as shown in a of FIG. 3, the user selects the enter and divides the lines into respective telephone fields, and executes a line break by entering a lead key or a mode key. As shown in b of FIG. 3, each phone field is divided by a line break command. In the message of a, the reverse phase is moved to the position of "0" to input the first line break command, and the comma (,) or the second phone is entered. When you are at the first character of the field, "this", you are typing the second enter key. Then, in step 213, in order to delete the comma, the reverse phase is placed in the comma, and if the Delete command is selected, the comma is deleted in step 215. At this time, if you delete the configuration data of the telephone field by wrongly selecting the delete command, select the Restore previous status command to recover the deleted data. 3C shows an edited state in the LCD which can display up to three lines.

As described above, when the editing is completed and the storage command is selected, the controller 10 detects the first data of each line and determines whether the first data is a letter or a number. In FIG. 3C, since the data of the first line is a character, the controller 10 stores it in the name field of the phone book table shown in Table 1 of the memory 20, and since the next line is a number, the phone of the phone book table is represented. Save to number field. 3D illustrates a case where two full numbers are included in one name, and the second phone number is stored in the second phone number field of the phone book table. Although the present invention provides only two telephone number fields, this may vary depending on the setting.

3E illustrates a method of editing a name field and a phone number field on the same line and setting the length of data that a name field can have and the length of data that a phone number can have in advance. Indicates that the phone number field can be detected and stored.

As described above, the present invention saves the cost of entering the additional device by inputting data into the telephone book by using the received message, and has the advantage that the user can easily edit and store it.
