Abstract

PURPOSE:To read a telephone number in a received message by pushing down a button, and send it after converting it into the touch-tone selection signal of an audible sound. CONSTITUTION:When a microprocessor 3 detects call incoming by information received through a reception circuit 1 and a demodulation circuit 2, the microprocessor 3 generates an incoming tone by an incoming tone generation circuit 6, and simultaneously, it discriminates the presence of the message, and if there is no message, it does nothing, and operation is finished by pushing down an incoming tone stop button. If there is the message, the message is stored in a memory in the microprocessor 3, and the message is displayed, and the operation is finished by pushing down the incoming tone stop button. The presence of the display of the message is discriminated by pushing down a selection signal button, and if there is no display of the message, the operation is finished as it is, and in the case of 'message display presence', the numeral information of the telephone number is extracted from the message, and the numeral information of the telephone number is converted successively into the selection circuit 9, and is sent as an audible selection signal generation circuit 9, and is sent as an audible signal from a speaker 8.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a pager,
In particular, it relates to a pager that stores and displays received message information.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional pager will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of a conventional pager.

In FIG. 3, a conventional pager has a receiving circuit 11 that receives radio waves from a base station and converts them into electrical signals.
a demodulation circuit 12 that converts the output of the receiving circuit 11 into a signal readable by the microprocessor 13; a microprocessor 13; It is composed of a display section 15, a ringtone generation circuit 16, an amplifier circuit 7, and a speaker 8.

This conventional pager uses a push-button selection signal of a push-button telephone in addition to the telephone number of the conventional pager when a caller receives a call to this conventional pager, which is a called party. It is possible to send messages, and when a conventional pager receives radio waves in a receiving circuit 11 and detects an incoming call via a demodulating circuit 12, a microprocessor 13 controls a ring tone generating circuit 16. A ring tone is generated through the amplifier circuit 17 and the speaker 18, and message information from the caller is stored in the internal memory of the microprocessor 13, and the message information is displayed on the visual display section 15.

[0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional pager described above is configured to store and display message information from the caller, but it merely notifies the holder of the conventional pager. The problem is that the owner of a conventional pager who sees the message information has to go to a public phone and manually dial the phone number in the message information or the phone number associated with the message. There is.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The pager of the present invention includes receiving means for receiving a message when a call arrives, storage/display means for storing and displaying the message, and extracting telephone number information from the message. and an audible sound conversion means for sequentially converting the push button selection signal into an audible sound by one button operation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of this embodiment.
) is for incoming call, (b) is for sending selection signal, (c)
are flowcharts for message retrieval.

In FIG. 1, the pager of this embodiment includes a receiving circuit 1 that receives message information radio waves from a base station (not shown) and converts them into electrical signals, and a microprocessor 3 that reads the output of the receiving circuit 1. a demodulation circuit 2 that converts the signal into a possible signal, a microprocessor 3 with a built-in memory, and a button section 4 for scanning the status of the microprocessor 3 (the button section 4 includes a button that existed on conventional pagers (ring tone). (stop button, etc.), a selection signal sending button and a message search button), a visual display section 5 controlled by the microprocessor 3, and a ring tone generation circuit 6 that generates a ring tone.
, a selection signal generation circuit 9 that generates a push button selection signal, and an amplifier circuit 7 that amplifies the ringtone and selection signal.
and a speaker 8.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, when receiving a call, the receiving circuit 1 receives the radio wave.
When the microprocessor 3 detects an incoming call (S1) based on the information received via the demodulator circuit 2 and the demodulator circuit 2, the microprocessor 3 generates a ringtone by the incoming call generating circuit 6 (S1).
2) and identify the presence or absence of a message (S3
), if there is no message, the process ends by pressing the ringtone stop button (S6) without doing anything (S7).

If there is a message, the message is stored in the memory of the microprocessor 3 (S4), the message is displayed (S5), and the ring tone stop button is pressed (S6).
The process ends (S7).

Next, in the case of sending a selection signal, the selection signal button is pressed (S8), and if a message is displayed, the numerical information of the telephone number is extracted from the message (S10),
The numerical information of the telephone number is sequentially converted into a push button selection signal by the selection signal generation circuit 9 (S11) and the speaker 8
The transmission ends as an audible signal (S12).

Next, when searching for a message, the area number of the message is incremented (S14) by pressing the search button (S13), and the message is read from the memory corresponding to the incremented area number (S15).
), a message is displayed on the visual display unit 5 (S16), and the process ends (S17).

[0016]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the pager of the present invention includes a receiving means for receiving a message when a call arrives, a storage/display means for storing and displaying the message, and a pager for extracting numerical information from the message. Since the pager holder is equipped with an audible sound conversion means that sequentially converts the push button selection signal into an audible sound with a single button operation, after being paged by the pager, the caller to the pager can If you have included in the message the phone number you want the pager holder to contact in advance, you can pick up the handset of the push-button telephone, acoustically couple the pager's speaker to the transmitter, and then call the pager. This has the effect that the contact information included in the message can be dialed simply by pressing the selection signal sending button.
