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 having a display function, and more particularly to a method for storing call message information including illustrations when the message is edited, and for displaying the call message information when receiving the message. The present invention relates to a radio selective call receiver with a display function for expanding and displaying.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional radio selective call receiver of this type, a call message is edited by combining characters such as numerals, alphabets, and kana with fixed text by switch operation.

As a technique similar to the conventional paging message editing method, there is an "auto dialer apparatus and a paging receiver with a message transmission function" described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-82824.

The above-mentioned conventional paging receiver with a message transmission function includes a memory for storing a plurality of fixed phrase messages, and a display means for displaying the fixed phrase messages stored in the memory together with corresponding abbreviated codes. However, it was not possible to edit a sent message in which an illustration and text were mixed, and it was not possible to store the edited result in a memory.

[0005]

In the above-mentioned conventional radio selective calling receiver, when a message in which characters and illustrations are mixed is received, it can be expanded and displayed.
There is a problem that only a text such as a fixed text, a matrix character, and a number can be edited as a transmission message.

Further, even with the above-described conventional paging receiver with a message transmission function, it is not possible to edit a transmission message in which an illustration and a text are mixed. And editing of the message including the illustration must be performed separately.

Further, since the conventional paging receiver with a message transmission function does not have means for storing a message once edited, even if a message having the same content is transmitted when a transmission message including an illustration is transmitted, There has been a problem that the transmission message must be edited from the beginning every time when transmitting.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a radio selective call receiver with a display function which enables an effective illustration display by editing a call message in which an illustration and a character are mixed and storing the edited result.

8 [[[0240]] 02012-3456 ”.

In step S208, the illustration number "02" shown in FIG. 6 is selected and registered as the first sheet. In step S211, the illustration number "04" is selected and registered as the second sheet.
When, for example, the number “1” of the display switching timing is selected in 210, the illustration display 309 and the illustration display 310 in FIG. 3 are alternately displayed in a one second cycle.

The code information for this alternate display is code information 311 "[[021104]] 0201.
2-3456 ".

When N is determined in S207, that is, when the operator selects a fixed phrase in the state where the operator has not selected an illustration in the input mode selection (Y in S212), the operator operates a switch to change the fixed phrase number shown in FIG. A message having the content of a fixed sentence is selected from 01 to 04 "and determined (S213).

When N is selected in S212, that is, when the operator selects a matrix character in a state where the operator has not selected a fixed phrase in the input mode selection (Y in S214), the operator operates the switch to operate the line shown in FIG. A matrix character based on the number and the column number is selected and determined (S215).

Further, if N is selected in S214, that is, if the operator selects a number without selecting a matrix character in the input mode selection (Y in S216), the operator operates a switch to enter a number (not shown). The selection is made and confirmed (S217).

The determined illustrations, fixed phrases, matrix characters, numbers, and the like are displayed on the display unit 1 by the display control unit 111.
