DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a message receiver having an automatic dial function, and more particularly to an automatic dial function capable of generating a dial signal (typically, a dial tone) of a contact telephone number received as message information. Regarding message receiver.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, in a radio paging system, not only a conventional paging-only service but also message information is transmitted following a selective paging signal, and the received message information signal is visually displayed on a receiver side. Services that can be implemented.

[0003] This message information can also be sent from a touch-tone telephone. To send message information from a touch-tone telephone, operate the buttons, enter the paging receiver's calling number, hear the paging service company announce "Please enter a message," and then operate the buttons to send the message. This is done by inputting The messages that can be entered are the numbers 0-9 and 6
This is a message consisting of the following symbols. This message is often contact information.

For this reason, conventionally, a dialing sound generating means is provided in a paging receiver, so that a contact telephone number received and stored as message information or a telephone number information stored in a telephone number memory separately provided. There has been proposed a method of generating a dial tone of a telephone number based on the dial tone and inputting the dial tone from a mouthpiece of a touch-tone telephone to call a contact telephone.

A paging receiver with an auto-dial function provided with a dial sound generating means does not require a dial operation when making a call, and can call a contact based on the received contact telephone number information. It is very convenient.

[0006]

However, this type of paging receiver, which has been conventionally proposed, presupposes that auto-dial based on received message information is performed when the received message information consists only of a contact telephone number. It is not versatile.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and efficiently generates a dial tone (or dial signal) corresponding to a part of message information, in particular, a contact telephone number received as a parameter of a fixed phrase. It is an object of the present invention to provide a message receiver with an auto-dial function that can be operated.

[0008]

Means and operation for solving the problems] The present invention, in the automatic dialing function message receiver includes a set phrase storage means for storing a plurality of set phrases, display election
Stored in the fixed phrase storage means in the selected message information
If an abbreviated number that specifies the fixed phrase
In this case, the fixed phrase corresponding to the abbreviated number
Message information read from storage means and selected for display
Displaying, with the balance of the data instead of the abbreviated number in, when the transmission key for instructing the generation of the dial tone (or dial signal) has been operated, as the abbreviated number parameter in the message information being displayed selected If the abbreviated form number requires a contact phone number ,
The position in the message information is specified by the abbreviated number.
The data portion is output to a dial tone (dial signal) generating means as a contact telephone number portion .

[0009] In the above arrangement, when the generation of a dial tone (or a dial signal) is instructed during the display of the received message, an operation for detecting the fixed phrase abbreviated number in the received message is performed, and the message corresponding to the abbreviated number is further performed. It is determined which data portion in the signal is the contact telephone number, and an automatic dial is performed. Therefore, even if other information is included in the message information, the dial operation can be reliably performed.

[0010]

The RAM 17 is a memory for storing a message from the caller and also for storing a plurality of telephone numbers and the like input to the numeric keypad 4, the details of which will be described later. In the fixed phrase memory 18, fixed phrases corresponding to each abbreviated number are set in advance as shown in the following table.

[0016]

[Table 1]

The CPU 15 has an LED drive unit 21, a sound signal generation unit 22, and a DTMF signal sound (Double).
Tone Multi Frequency: a dial signal tone used in a touch-tone telephone) generator 23 and a buffer 24 for temporarily storing dial data are connected. And
The LED 10 is connected to the LED drive unit 21, and the speaker 25 is connected to the sound signal generation unit 22 and the DTMF signal sound generation unit 23. The speaker 25 is provided, for example, on the back side of the case 1. The ringing signal generator 22
When a call from a caller is received, the speaker 25 is driven according to a command from the CPU 15 to notify an incoming call. The DTMF signal tone generator 23 outputs a DTMF signal based on dial data set in the buffer 24. Then, the speaker 25 is driven to generate a dial sound. After the dial is completed, the DTMF signal tone generation unit 23
An end signal is sent to 15.

When a message is sent from the caller, the CPU 15 stores the message in the RAM 17 and determines the presence or absence of a fixed phrase code in the message. The address of the fixed phrase memory 18 is designated by the abbreviated number and its contents are read out, a character pattern is generated via the character generator 19, output to the display buffer 20 and displayed on the display unit 2. Then, when the transmission key 8 is operated,
At this time, a predetermined fixed phrase abbreviated number in the message information selected and specified is detected, a contact telephone number following the abbreviated number is output to the buffer 24, and the DTMF signal tone generator 23 generates a dial tone. Works.

Next, an outline of the pox sag method used in the paging receiver will be described. FIG.
(D) is a data configuration diagram of the poxag method. FIG.
(A) shows the entire transmission signal format. In the Poxag system, a preamble signal A in which 576 bits of bit data successively follows 101010, and a plurality of batch signals B, C,. . The preamble signal is a signal for causing the paging receiver to recognize that data will be sent from now on and for achieving bit synchronization. The decoder unit 13 detects this preamble signal and prepares for reception of the subsequent batch data.

FIG. 3B shows a batch format of the batch data. In this batch format, there is first a one-word synchronization code SC, followed by eight frames CD1 to CD8, each consisting of a two-word code. Each code word has a 32-bit configuration, and the code word includes an address code word and a message code word.

FIGS. 3C and 3D show the structures of an address code word and a message code word, respectively. FIG. 3C shows an address code word, which has a message flag at the beginning, an address code, a function bit, a BCH parity, and an even parity.

The message flag is a flag for identifying whether the next code is an address code or a message code.
"1" indicates a message code word.
The 2nd to 19th bits after the message flag are the address code, which corresponds to the above-mentioned call number. Further, there are two function bits after this. These are bits for indicating a display mode and a sound mode. For example, there are four types of functions of "00", "01", "10", and "11".

This function information can be input by a caller with a touch-tone telephone by contracting with a paging service company, and can be used for identification of the caller. In the poxag method, an error may occur within one code, for example, an address code. In particular, when the reception state is poor, the demodulation of the FSK signal is not complete, and an error occurs. To correct this, BCH parity is provided in bits 22-31. Thereafter, an even parity bit is provided. This even parity is
This indicates whether the total number of bits whose first to last bits represent the number "1" is odd or even.

In the case of the message code word shown in FIG. 3D, a message bit is added after the message flag. This is in addition to the message from the caller, for example a telephone number and other information. Similarly, BCH parity and even parity data are added to the same code word to form a message code word.

FIG. 4 shows details of the RAM 17 in FIG. The RAM 17 has a buffer register BU for temporarily storing a received message, a mode counter M for designating a mode, timers T1 and T2, a RAM 17
Pointer P for designating the address of a specific area in the memory, clock register TM, and FIFO for storing the received message
A message register unit 31 of a system and a telephone number storage memory unit 32 for storing telephone numbers inputted from the key input unit 16 are provided.

The mode counter M has a clock mode when the count value is "0", a message display mode when the count value is "1", a telephone number display mode when the count value is "2", and a telephone number writing mode when the count value is "3". specify. Timer T1 is
This is for controlling the notification time of the incoming call by the LED 10 and the speaker 25 when receiving the calling signal from the caller, and measures, for example, the lapse of time of 8 seconds. Timer T2
Is for controlling the display time of the received message when the above-mentioned call signal is received, and measures, for example, the passage of time of 30 seconds.

The clock register 30 is for clocking the current time, and is provided at the address of address 0 (relative address). Further, the message register unit 31
Are provided at addresses of addresses 1 to 30, and store the call type information and the arrival time together with the received message at each address. The message register unit 31 has a FIFO buffer structure. When a received message stored in the buffer register BU is written to the first address register, the information stored in each register is sequentially stored in the next address register. Shifted to the final 3
The message held in the register at address 0 is extruded and disappears.

The telephone number storage memory section 32 has three
The telephone numbers and names input from the key input unit 16 in the write mode are stored at the addresses 1 to 50, respectively. In this case, each address of the clock register 30, the message register unit 31, and the telephone number storage memory unit 32 is designated by the pointer P.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The CPU 15 executes the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5 when (1) there is a call from the caller, (2) when performing the timing processing, and (3) when the key operation is performed. Now, assuming that the call from the caller is received by the receiving unit 12 and that the call is its own calling number, the decoder unit 13 sends the
5 is sent a receiving / acquisition command. As a result, an incoming interrupt occurs, and the CPU 15 sets H in step A1 in FIG.
From the ALT state, the process proceeds to step A2, in which the call type information (function bit information described above) and the message information accompanying the call number are fetched and the arrival time information is fetched and temporarily stored in the buffer register BU in the RAM 17.

The information fetched into the buffer register BU is then transferred to the message register 31 and
The address is stored in the address (step A3). At this time, the information held so far at each address of the message register unit 31 is sequentially shifted to the next address. That is, the latest received information is always written and held at the address 1 of the message register unit 31. If the message is a telephone number, the message information sent from the caller is, for example, “03D123D4567”.
It is stored in the message register section 31 of the AM 17. The “D” is a 4-bit hyphen code “1101”.

When the message is "Please contact the following number. 03-123-4567", the message information sent is, for example, "FF0103D12".
3D4567 ", and is stored in the message register unit 31 as it is. “F” added to the head of the above message is a 4-bit left parenthesis code “1111”
However, two consecutive characters indicate that the message is a fixed phrase. The next two digits “01” are the abbreviated number, and thereafter the telephone number of the contact.

Next, whether or not the dial is in progress, that is, DTM
The F signal sound generator 23 determines whether or not a dial operation is being performed (step A4). If the dial operation is not being performed, an operation command is sent from the CPU 15 to the sound signal generator 22 so that the speaker 25 operates at a predetermined frequency. It is driven and an incoming call is notified (step A5). Further, from CPU 15 to L
An operation command is sent to the ED drive unit 21, the LED 10 is driven to emit light, and an incoming call is notified by light (step A6).
). In this case, if the user is dialing, the speaker 25 is not driven, and only the LED 10 is driven to emit light to notify the incoming call. At this time, a timer T1 in the RAM 17 for controlling the notification time of the incoming call is set (step A).
7).

Next, it is determined whether or not the set mode at this time is the watch mode, that is, whether or not the count value of the mode counter M in the RAM 17 is "0" (step A8).
If not in the watch mode, the HALT of step A1
Return to the state. If the clock mode is designated, the count value of the mode counter M is set to "+1" to set the message display mode (step A9), and the pointer P is set to "1" (step A10).

In this state, the CPU 15 reads the contents of the address 1 of the message register section 31 indicated by the pointer P, outputs the contents to the display buffer 20, and displays them on the display section 2 (step A11). In this case, the incoming time is displayed in the upper display area 2a of the display unit 2, and the lower display area 2b
Displays call type information and a message. The message stored in the message register 31 is displayed on the display 2
, The fixed phrase code (F
It is checked whether or not F) is included. If the fixed phrase code is not included, the message information is directly converted into character data by the character generator 19, sent to the display buffer 20, and displayed on the display unit 2.
As described above, the message is the phone number "03D123D4
567 "is displayed as" 03-123-4567 ".

Further, "FF0103D123D456"
When the fixed phrase code is included as in “7”, the address of the fixed phrase memory 18 is specified by the two-digit data “01” next to the fixed phrase code “FF”, and the fixed phrase “next number” is specified. And converts the fixed phrase into character data by the character generator 9 and displays it on the display unit 2 via the display buffer 20. Therefore,
The display in this case is "Please contact the following number. 03-
123-4567 ".

When the above display processing is performed, a timer T2 for controlling the message display time is set (step A).
12) Then, the process returns to the HALT state in step A1. If a timer interrupt occurs in this state, the process proceeds to step A13 to perform a timer process. The timer interrupt is generated, for example, at one second intervals, whereby the clock information in the clock register 30 is incremented by "+1". Next, it is determined whether or not the timer T1 is set (step A14). If the timer T1 is set, a measurement process for incrementing the count value of the timer T1 by "+1" is executed (step A15). It is determined whether or not the timer has increased, that is, whether or not the measured value of the timer T1 has reached a set value, in this embodiment, 8 seconds (step A16). If it reaches 8 seconds, speaker and L
After stopping the drive of the ED (step A17), the step A
The program proceeds to step A18, and if the time has not reached 8 seconds, the procedure directly proceeds to step A18 to determine whether or not the timer T2 is set. If it is determined in step A14 that the timer T1 has not been set, the process immediately proceeds to step A18 without performing the measurement process of the timer T1, and determines the set state of the timer T2. If the timer T2 is set, after performing a measurement process of incrementing the count value of the timer T2 by "+1" (step A19), it is determined whether the measured value has reached a set value, in this embodiment, 30 seconds. Judgment is made (step A20). If the time has not reached 30 seconds, the process returns to the HALT state of step A1.

The above timer interrupt is performed at regular intervals, so that the timer T1 times out, that is, 8 times.
When the elapsed time of seconds is measured, a drive stop command is sent from the CPU 15 to the LED drive unit 21 and the sound signal generation unit 22, and the incoming notification operation by the LED 10 and the speaker 25 is stopped. After that, the timer T2 expires,
That is, when the elapsed time of 30 seconds is measured, the CPU 15
, The mode counter M is set to "0" to designate the clock mode, and the pointer P is set to "0" (step A21). When "0" is set in the pointer P, the current time information is read out from the clock register 30 at address 0 to the display buffer 20 via the character generator 19, and as shown in FIG. It is displayed in area 2a (step A22). Also,
If the timer T2 has not been set, step A
The process directly proceeds from step 18 to step A22 to display the above-mentioned current time.

When a call is received from the caller as described above, an incoming call is notified by the LED 10 and the speaker 25 for 8 seconds, a received message is displayed on the display section 2 for 30 seconds, and thereafter, the mode returns to the normal clock mode. To display the current time.

When a key operation signal is input from the key input section 16 to the CPU 15, the process proceeds from the HALT state of step A1 to step A23 to perform key processing. Hereinafter, the details of the key processing will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. The message information held in the message register unit 31 in the RAM 17 is displayed on the display unit 2
Is displayed, the message display mode is designated by the mode key 6, or the read key 7 is operated in the clock mode. When the above key operation is performed,
In step B1, it is determined whether or not the operation key is the mode key 6. If the operation key is the mode key 6, the mode counter M
Is incremented by 1 (step B2), it is determined whether or not the message display mode (mode counter M = 1) (step B3). If the message display mode, the pointer P is set to "1" (step B3). At step B4), the timer T2 starts counting (step B5).

Then, the address designated by the pointer P from the RAM 17, in this case, the storage information of the address 1,
That is, the call type information, message, and arrival time are read out,
The data is converted into character data by the character generator 19 and displayed on the display unit 2 (step B6). That is, when the message display mode is designated by the mode key 6, first, the latest message information stored at the address 1 of the message register unit 31 is displayed on the display unit 2.

When the read key 7 is operated in the clock mode, the process proceeds to step B7 via step B1 to determine whether or not the operation key is the read key 7. In this case, the read key 7 Since step 7 has been operated, it is further determined in step B8 whether or not the watch mode (M = 0). At this time, since the clock mode has been designated, the content of the mode counter M is incremented by "+1" to designate the message display mode (step B9).
"1" is set to the pointer P (step B10).

Thereafter, the process proceeds to step B6 via step B5 (starting the timer T2), and the message information stored in the address 1 of the message register unit 31 is displayed on the display unit 2 as described above.

When the next message is to be displayed while the message information is displayed, the read key 7
Operate. When the read key 7 is operated, the flow advances to step B11 via steps B1, B7 and B8, and it is determined whether or not the mode is the message display mode. In this case, since the message display mode is set, the pointer P is moved to “+”.
After "1" (step B12), it is determined whether or not the value has reached "31" (step B13). If the value of the pointer P has not reached "31", the process proceeds to step B6 via step B5, and the above-described message display processing is performed. That is, the information stored in the message register unit 31 specified by the value of the pointer P is read out and displayed on the display unit 2.

In the same manner, each time the read key 7 is operated, the value of the pointer P is incremented by "+1", the designated address for the message register 31 is updated, and the message information stored in the message register 31 is updated. They are sequentially read out and displayed on the display unit 2. When the value of the pointer P exceeds the last address (address 30) of the message register section 31 and becomes "31" by the operation of the read key 7, this state is detected in step B13, and "1" is set to the pointer P. Set. As a result, the designated address of the message register section 31 returns to address 1, and the stored information is displayed on the display section 2. By operating the read key 7 as described above, the information stored in the message register unit 31 is sequentially displayed on the display unit 2. If no key operation is performed in this message display state, the timer T2 sets the timer to 30 seconds. When the seconds are counted, the mode returns to the clock mode.

When the telephone number stored in the telephone number storage memory 32 of the RAM 17 is displayed on the display 2, the telephone number display mode is designated by the mode key 6. When the mode key 6 is operated, steps B1, B
The program proceeds to step B3 via 2 to determine whether the mode is the message display mode. In this case, since the telephone number display mode has been designated, the judgment result in step B3 is NO, and the process proceeds to step B15 to determine whether the telephone number display mode or the telephone number storage mode is designated. If the telephone number display mode or the telephone number storage mode is designated, "31" is set to the pointer P, and the process proceeds from step B5 to step B6 to perform display processing. That is, the address “31” of the telephone number storage memory unit 32 is designated by the pointer P,
The name and telephone number stored at the address "1" are read out to the display buffer 20 via the character generator 19, and the name is displayed in the upper display area 2a of the display unit 2 and the telephone number is displayed in the lower display area 2b.

To read and display another telephone number stored in the telephone number storage memory 32, the read key 7 is operated in this state. When the read key 7 is operated, the flow advances to step B11 via steps B1, B7 and B8, and it is determined whether or not the mode is the message display mode. In this case, since the mode is not the message display mode, the determination result is NO, and the process proceeds to step B17 to increment the pointer P by "+1".

Next, it is determined whether or not the value of the pointer P has reached "51", that is, whether or not the last address of the telephone number storage memory section 32 has been exceeded. If the last address has not been exceeded, step B5 is performed. Thereafter, the flow advances to step B6. In this step B6, the information stored in the telephone number storage memory section 32 designated by the address of the pointer P is read out and displayed on the display section 2.
To be displayed. As described above, in the telephone number display mode, every time the read key 7 is operated, the value of the pointer P is changed to “+”.
The name and the telephone number stored in the telephone number storage memory 32 are sequentially read out and displayed on the display 2.

When the value of the pointer P exceeds the last address (address 50) of the telephone number storage memory section 32 and reaches "51" by the operation of the read key 7, the state is detected in step B19. The value of “31” is set in the pointer P. As a result, the telephone number storage memory unit 3
The designation of the address 2 returns to the first address, and the stored information is displayed on the display unit 2.

In the telephone number writing mode, information stored in the telephone number storage memory section 32 is displayed on the display section 2 in the same manner as in the telephone number display mode. Correction or rewriting can be performed at the corresponding address of the telephone number storage memory unit 32.

If the mode is switched from the message display mode or the telephone number display mode to the clock mode by operating the mode key 6, steps B3 and B are executed.
The determination results in 15 are all NO, and the process proceeds to step B20, where "0" is set in the pointer P. Then timer T
2 is turned off (step B21), and the process returns to the display processing of step B6. As a result, the time register 30 at address 0 is designated by the pointer P, and the time information is displayed in the display buffer 2.
0 is read out and displayed on the display unit 2.

However, when performing auto dialing,
A message display mode or a telephone number display mode is designated, and the transmission key 8 is operated in a state where the number to be called is displayed on the display unit 2. When this transmission key 8 is operated,
If the result of determination in steps B1 and B7 is NO, the process proceeds to step B22, where it is determined whether the operation key is the transmission key 8. If the operation key is the transmission key 8, an automatic dial process is performed in step B23. The details of this auto dial process will be described later. If the numeric keypad 4, shift key 5 or the like is operated to set a telephone number or the like, the determination results in steps B1, B7, and B22 are all NO, and the process proceeds to step B24 to execute a process corresponding to the operation key. You.

Next, the details of the auto dial process in step B23 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step C1, it is determined whether or not the mode is the message display mode.
At that time, the message register 31 of the RAM 17
It is searched from the first digit whether the fixed phrase code "FF" is included in the message information read to U15 (step C2). At this time, first, it is checked whether or not the search digit has reached the data end (step C3), and then, the presence or absence of a fixed phrase code is checked (step C4).
If there is no fixed phrase code, the flow returns to step C2 to continue the fixed phrase code search.

When the fixed phrase code is detected in step C4, the fixed phrase specified by the following two-digit numerical value (fixed phrase number) is (1). Is a fixed phrase that is a telephone number (step C5), (2). Whether the second and subsequent parameters are fixed phrases that are a telephone number (step C6), (3). A determination process is sequentially performed to determine whether or not the phrase is not included but is a request for calling a predetermined contact (step C7).

Then, the result of the judgment at the step C5 is Y
The case of ES (when it is a fixed phrase of case (1)) corresponds to the case of abbreviated numbers “01” and “02” shown in Table 1 above, and numerical data (hyphens) following the abbreviated number in the message information (Except for data D, etc. indicating symbols such as) to the buffer 24 (step C8), and then give an operation command to the DTMF signal tone generator 23. This allows DTM
The F signal tone generator 23 operates to generate a DTMF signal according to the telephone number set in the buffer 24 to drive the speaker 25 (step C9). When the dial operation ends, the DTMF signal tone generator 23 outputs an end signal to the CPU 15.

The result of the determination in step C6 is YE
The case of S (the case of the fixed phrase in case (2)) corresponds to the case of the abbreviated number “03” shown in Table 1 above. After the transfer to the buffer 24 (step C10), the process proceeds to step C9, where a dial tone is generated based on the data held in the buffer 24. The telephone number part in the message information is determined by determining the parameter of the telephone number according to each fixed phrase, and a delimiter code such as a space code (1100) for each parameter.
Therefore, it can be determined based on this delimiter code.

Further, if the result of the determination in step C7 is YES
In the case of (if it is a fixed phrase in case (3)),
Corresponds to the case of the abbreviated numbers "04" to "06", and transfers the numerical data of the specific telephone number in the telephone number storage memory 32 to the buffer 24 (step C11), and then proceeds to the step C9. Generates a dial sound based on the data held in the buffer 24.

Then, in the message information, case (1)
If there is no fixed phrase corresponding to (3), since the message information itself is usually the telephone number of the contact, step C
7, the process returns to step C2. After detecting the end of data in step C3, the process proceeds to step C12, where the numerical data in the message information is transferred to the buffer 24, and
A dial tone is generated by the MF signal tone generator 23 (step C9).

If it is determined in step C1 that the mode is not the message display mode, it is further determined whether or not the mode is the telephone number display mode (step C13). After transferring the numerical data of the telephone number stored in the stored telephone number storage memory 32 to the buffer 24 (step C14),
Proceeding to step C9, a dial sound is generated based on the data held in the buffer 24. Step C
If it is determined in step 13 that the mode is not the telephone number display mode, the process returns to step A1 in FIG.

In the above-mentioned auto-dialing process, when dialing modes such as "0 dialing (external dialing)" and "local dialing" are set, dial data transfer processing to the buffer 24, ie, step C8, C10, C1
1, the processing of C14 is performed as shown in FIG.

First, it is determined whether the mode is the 0 transmission mode (step D1). If the mode is the 0 transmission mode, 0 data is transferred to the buffer 24 (step D2), and then it is determined whether the mode is the local transmission mode (step D2). Step D3). If it is determined in step D1 that the mode is not the 0 transmission mode, the determination operation of step D3 is immediately executed. If it is determined in step D3 that the mode is the local call mode, the telephone numbers subsequent to the local office number are transferred to the buffer 24 to generate a dial tone. In this case, the local station number is selected by detecting a station number separating code (for example, a hyphen code; 1101). If it is determined in step D3 that the telephone number is not a local area code, the telephone number is transferred to the buffer 24 to generate a dial tone.
As described above, the processing of 0 transmission and local transmission is performed.
