Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a wireless selective call receiver, and particularly to complex function control of a wireless selective call receiver having multiple functions.

[Prior Art] In recent years, advances in integrated circuit technology and high-density packaging technology have been remarkable, and these, along with advances in digital signal technology, have led to the miniaturization and increased functionality of wireless selective call receiving (M) machines. As the market for wireless selective calling receivers expands, the specifications required are not just for conventional individual calling receivers, but also for
Storing received information, outputting information to external information equipment, displaying reception time in conjunction with the clock function, automatic reception start and stop, etc.
Portable FRR information devices have become highly functional, and are increasingly being combined with other information devices.

Conventional wireless selective calling receivers are becoming information devices that receive and store valuable information for their owners, and are equipped with special functions. There is a risk of causing damage.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, the present invention provides that when an owner requests the suspension or prohibition of a specific function, the function is stopped by stopping the transmission of a specific permission signal or transmitting a specific prohibition signal. The object of the present invention is to provide a wireless selective calling receiver that can stop or prohibit the following.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The radio selective calling receiver of the present invention compares its own preset calling number with the received calling signal, and when they match, receives information following the previous calling number. In the wireless selective calling receiver, specific information determining means determines that the received information has a specific configuration set in advance, and the operation of the specific function is started based on the determination result of the determining means. It is characterized by having a specific function control means for controlling (permission) and stopping (prohibition).

Hereinafter, the details of the present invention will be shown by examples.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a radio selective calling receiver that is an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 10 is an antenna, 11 is a radio receiving circuit,
12 is a decoding circuit; 13 is a memory for storing individual call addresses (hereinafter referred to as ID-M); 14 is a speaker; 15 is an LED; 16 is a control circuit; 17 is a display device;
8 is an interface device, and 19 is a memory circuit for storing personal data. A signal input from an antenna 10 is converted into a digital signal by a radio receiving section 11, and error correction is performed by a decoding circuit 12. The address in the ID-M 13 and the calling address in the received signal are compared in the decoding circuit 12 and when a match is detected, an address match signal is output to the control circuit 16. The control circuit 16 starts receiving the message with this binary signal i, processes the message signal from the decoding circuit 12,
Depending on the contents and the result of the state determination of the interface device 18, the speaker 14, the LED 15, the display device 1
7 to notify the reception, and necessary information is stored in a storage circuit within the control circuit 16. User requests such as reading stored information are input to the control circuit 16 from the interface device 1 and processed. Personal memory circuit 1
9, information input from the outside via the interface device W18 and information selected from the information stored in the control circuit 16 are recorded by the control circuit 16. The reading of the information depends on the control circuit 16 as described above.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of specific information reception processing by the control circuit 16. First, in specific information determination=20, it is strictly determined whether the information is specific information. Next, the operation starts (
It is determined whether the information is permission (permission) information or stop (prohibition) information: 21° If it is operation start (permission) information, the target function, that is, in this embodiment, the information read function of the personal memory circuit 19 is permitted. and resets the prohibition timer (reading is prohibited if permission information is not received within a certain period of time) = 22° In the case of stop (prohibition) information, the reading function of the information in the personal memory circuit 19 is prohibited = 23
゜With the above operations, when there is a possibility that the wireless selective calling receiver according to the present invention is used by a third party due to loss etc., the information in the personal memory is transmitted by transmitting the special function prohibition information according to the instruction from the owner. It is possible to prohibit the reading of . Furthermore, if a third party takes the radio selective calling receiver to a place where it cannot receive the special function operation start (permission) information transmitted at fixed time intervals, the prohibition timer prohibits reading of the information in the same manner as above.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a radio selective calling receiver according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a personal information output circuit 30 is provided as a composite function corresponding to the personal memory circuit 19 of the embodiment shown in FIG. In a normal state, this wireless selective calling receiver directly or indirectly outputs personal information to an external information device as the owner's identification device. Depending on this function, it is used for entering and exiting rooms under confidential management, processing the purchase price of goods, processing working hours, etc.

In this embodiment as well, since the function of the personal information output circuit 30 is prohibited according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 2, damage caused by loss or the like can be minimized.

Although the embodiments have been described above, the present invention is applicable not only to the embodiments described above, but also to wireless communication equipment having a wide range of composite functions, and wireless communication equipment having external wireless control functions. ? It can be applied to control the functions of electronic products.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the operation of the complex function can be prohibited by wireless calling in accordance with the owner's request, so that the added value of the wireless selective calling receiver can be increased.
