DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to notification of received information of a radio selective calling receiver, and more particularly to a function control for changing a notification means with time.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the prior art, when power is turned on, EE is
PROM (electrically erasable)
programmable read onlymem
ory), the information for initialization is read and the function is selected. In this EEPROM, information of one notification means is written. The notification means is a speaker,
LED (light emitting diode)
e), LCD (liquid crystal dis)
play) display, pattern of vibrator, etc. and ON /
OFF combination information.

[0003]

In the above technique, since there is only one notification means which is previously written in the EEPROM, it is not possible to change the notification means temporally. It has the following disadvantages.

(A) It is necessary to manually switch between switch position muting and normal switching.

(B) It is necessary to change the notification means by a predetermined switch operation.

(C) It is necessary to rewrite the contents of the EEPROM.

[0007] In addition, the following drawbacks occur in daily use, especially when a call is made by operating the radio selective call receiver at midnight during a conference, at night.

(E) When a call is made at midnight, a ringing sound is generated, which hinders sleep.

(F) When a call is made in an important meeting, a ringing tone is generated, which hinders the meeting.

(G) Since the power switch is turned off when the user does not want to beep, reception is not performed during that time, so that reliable information transmission is not performed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a selective call receiver which solves these drawbacks.

[0012]

Time notification function change function radio paging receiver of the present invention According to an aspect of the call number which has a receiving means for receiving and decoding selective call signals, received selective call signal is a pre-self First notification means and second notification means for performing different types of notification when coincidence with each other, clock means for counting time, and notification setting means for setting notification means according to the time measured by the clock means And the first
Time when the notification means was changed to the second notification means, and again
Call data received during the time of return to the first notification means
And that the received call is an unconfirmed call
Means for determining
Unconfirmed call when changed to notification means first notification means
It is characterized by using the notification .

[0013]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 3, the receiver of the present invention comprises:
When the power is turned on in step 101, initialization is performed in step 102. Here, the first notification means is EE
The first notification means flag is set from the ROM 16 as shown in FIG.

Thereafter, in step 103, the apparatus enters a reception waiting state. The radio wave entering the antenna 2 from the antenna 1 between the broadcasting station and the receiving station is transmitted by FSK (Frequencyc).
yShift Keying) and a function of receiving a signal modulated by the RF amplifier 3 for demodulation and a radio unit 4
Is demodulated.

The demodulated signal enters the microcomputer 5 that performs each control, and in step 104, it is determined whether or not the setting for switching to the second notification means has been performed. If this setting has been made, it is determined in step 111 whether the time period is a time zone in which the second notification means is used.

Here, there is a function 6 for comparing the current time with the set time, and a function 7 for controlling the first notification means and the second notification means based on the compared value. The comparator 25 compares T0 of the current time 22, T1 of the start time 21, and T2 of the end time 23, and controls the first notification means flag 26 and the second notification means flag 27. The inverters 24 are non-permitted and permitted.

If "YES" here, step 113 enters an auto-silent mode using the second notification means.
If NO, the normal mode is determined in step 112. Similarly, if NO in step 104, the normal mode is determined. When the reception is performed in step 105, it is determined in step 114 whether the mode is the auto silent mode. If NO, the LCD driver 8 is set using the first notification means 26 set at the time of power-on in step 117.
The notification is performed using the LED driver 10, the speaker driver 12, and the vibrator driver 13.

If a switch operation is performed during this notification,
In step 119, it is stored in the memory as confirmed.
If no switch operation is performed in step 118, the data is stored in the memory as unconfirmed.

If it is determined in step 114 that the mode is the auto silent mode, in step 115 the second notification means, the LCD driver 8 for driving the LCD, and the display unit LC
D9, an LED driver 10 for driving the LED,
The notification is performed by the LED 11 used as the reception information notification means, the speaker driver 12 for driving the speaker, the speaker 13 used as the reception information notification means, the vibrator driving driver 14 or the vibrator 15 used as the notification means, or a combination thereof.

The second notifying means does not have to use the notifying means. In this case, it is assumed to be auto silent.

If the reception in step 105 is not performed and the determination in SW operation 106 in the next step 106 is NO, the process returns to standby, and if YES, the process proceeds to step 107.

In this combination, the switch sensor unit 17 performs steps 122, 108, 120
Branch to

At step 122, it is determined whether or not there is an unconfirmed call. If not, the call which has been confirmed and stored at step 121 is read.

If there is an unconfirmed result, the unconfirmed recognition is notified using the first notifying means.

In step 108, the time for starting the second notification means is set to steps 109 and 110, and the process returns to the standby state.

In step 120, the current time is set. When this is completed, the state returns to the standby state.

[0027]

As described above, the present invention has the function of changing the notification means according to the set time.

One example of such a function is that it is set when it is not desired to make a notification using an output device as a call notification means at a time interval so that it does not disturb a conference or the like. Since the message received during the operation is notified after the end of the auto-silent, the information can be reliably transmitted after the end of the conference or the like.
