DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a radio selective call receiver with a display function, and more particularly, to a radio selective call receiver with a display function which expands and displays call message information including illustrations when it is received.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an example of this type of conventional radio selective call receiver with a display function, when a call message is edited by operating a switch, numerals, alphabets, and the like are used.
The calling message was edited by combining characters such as kana and fixed phrase sentences.

As another conventional example of a method for editing a call message, there is an "auto dialer device and a paging receiver with a message transmission function" described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-82824.

In the invention of this publication, a fixed phrase message selected from a plurality of fixed phrase messages stored in a fixed phrase memory is displayed together with a corresponding shortened code.

However, according to the present invention, it is impossible to edit a transmission message in which illustration and text are mixed.

[0006]

In this conventional radio selective call receiver with a display function, a call message is edited by combining characters such as numerals, alphabets, and kana with fixed-form sentences. Although the corresponding code was transmitted while referring to the illustration code table to send the illustration, the call message was only expanded and displayed from the top in order, so the display position of the illustration could not be specified, There was a problem that messages containing illustrations could not be easily used.

In another conventional example of an automatic dialer apparatus and a paging receiver with a message transmission function, the message information created by message editing is a message having only a fixed phrase, and a call in which an illustration and a text are mixed is called. When a message is received, it cannot be expanded and displayed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a radio selective call receiver with a display function capable of displaying an illustration and text data contained in received message data in a mixed manner.

[0009]

According to the present invention, when illustration expansion code information is detected in a message signal following a received selective call number, display information is displayed at a designated position based on the received illustration display position information. Is displayed, a radio selective call receiver with a display function is obtained.

It is preferable that second display information different from the display information is displayed at a position other than the designated position.

It is preferable that the display information is an illustration and the second display information is character information which is a fixed sentence.

FIG. 3 is a code configuration diagram illustrating an example of illustration information according to an embodiment.

A radio selective call receiver with a display function according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 includes a radio section 101 for transmitting and receiving radio waves to and from a radio base station through an antenna, and data from the radio section 101. A decoder unit 102 which receives and detects a call of the own radio selective call receiver, and illustration information (illustration font) corresponding to the code information of the illustration
Memory 105, a fixed phrase memory 106 for storing text information of fixed phrases, a matrix character memory 107 for storing character codes of matrix characters, a program memory 110 for storing programs, and a received illustration. A message memory 111 for storing message information, a display unit 108 for displaying a call message and the like, and a program read from the program memory 110 are executed to edit the message information and expand the message information into the original display data. A function control unit 103 for performing sequence control in the own radio selective calling receiver;
The system includes a notification unit 109 for giving a notification when there is a call from the own radio selective call receiver, and a switch operation unit 112 including push switches such as a selection switch, a decision switch, and a menu switch. In addition, ID-ROM
104 stores the ID number of its own radio selective calling receiver
EPROM.

Next, the call message expanding operation of the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

When a call message including illustration information is received (step S201), the function control unit 103 acquires the first character of the call message (S202) and determines whether the acquired character is an illustration expansion code (S2).
03).

If Y is determined in S203, that is, if the acquired character is an illustration development code, the flow advances to S204.
If so, the process proceeds to S206.

A call message including an illustration is formed in the signal format shown in FIG. 7, and includes illustration data (illustration expansion code, illustration number, position number), fixed phrase data (fixed phrase code, number), matrix character data (matrix code). , Numbers) and numeric data can be placed at any position in the calling message.

The illustration information has a code configuration as shown in FIG.

In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, since illustrations and fixed phrases are mixed in the same message, an illustration expansion code is set to distinguish the illustration from the illustration information.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the illustration development code 801 is set to “[[”, the data following “[[” becomes the illustration data and the illustration number (01
To 03) and an illustration display position 802 (1 to 4).

The illustration font number is set by the illustration number (01, 02, 03) shown in FIG. 6, and the illustration display position 802 is 1 (upper left), 2 (upper right), 3 (lower left) and 4 (lower right). It is set in four patterns.

In the example of the illustration contents shown in FIG. 6, there are "01", "02" and "03" as the illustration numbers, and the illustration data 803 shown in FIG.
It is formed by two digits () of illustration number information and one digit () of illustration display position information following 01.

Returning to FIG. 2, when Y is determined in S203, the three-character illustration information "" following the illustration expansion code 801 is acquired (S204), and is stored in the illustration memory 105 according to the illustration number information "" included in the illustration information. The stored illustration font is read and the created illustration is displayed at a position according to the illustration display position information "" (S205).

In S206, the number of characters of the call message is checked (message end is searched), and if it is the message end (Y in S206), the illustration development is terminated, and the flow shifts to S208 to develop the character information.

If N in S206, that is, if the message continues, the flow shifts to S207. In S207, after searching and acquiring the next character of the currently acquired call message, the process returns to S203 to determine whether or not the acquired character is an illustration expansion code.
The above operations are repeated until the message end of the calling message is reached (Y in S206).

In S208, the first character of the calling message is searched, and the process returns to the top of the message and shifts to S209.

In step S209, after expanding information such as fixed phrases and matrix characters of message information other than illustrations,
The process moves to S210.

As shown in FIG. 4, for example, fixed phrase numbers "01", "02", "03", "0"
4 ”etc., there are messages such as“ Scheduled time. ”,“ Call the company. ”,“ Sell. ”,“ I ask for your support. ”

As shown in FIG. 5, the matrix characters include intersections of rows and columns "1.1", "1.2",.
"A", "I", ..., corresponding to "4", "3.5", etc.
There are characters such as "se" and "so".

Then, in S210, the portion where the illustration was not displayed in S205 (the vacant display area) is displayed.
In step 209, the message of the expanded character information is displayed, and the operation of expanding and displaying the message information in which the illustration and the character are mixed is ended.

In one embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG.
Is received, the code information 305 of the call message, that is, “[[021]] 02012-3456” is received, expanded into a message including the illustration 301 and displayed on the display unit 108. Similarly, when the code information 306, 307 and 308 of the call message is received, the code information is expanded into a message including illustrations 302, 303 and 304 and displayed on the display unit 108.

[0037]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the illustration expansion code is included in the message signal following the received selective calling number, the message is displayed at the designated position based on the detected illustration display position information. Thus, the fixed phrase or the fixed illustration stored in the wireless selective call receiver with a display function can be displayed in an arbitrary arrangement, so that a message including the illustration can be easily used.
