Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow only a user to perceive a call without being recognized by another person by surrounding persons at a location where no call tone is able to be listened to by using a cable with an element lighted by a notice signal outputted form a jack via a plug provided at one end. CONSTITUTION:A jack 6 outputting a notice signal for selective call, and a cable 11 having a plug 12 plugged in removably at one terminal and having an element 9 lighted by the notice signal outputted from the jack 6 via the plug 12 at other end are provided to the receiver. Then the light emitting element is fitted to the lapel, the upper part of the pocket or the necktie of the user. Thus, the receiver is able to be used at a location where the call tone is not listened to due to the surrounding noise. Moreover, only the user can perceive the call without being noticed of surrounding persons.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a selective call receiving device that notifies a call by receiving a selective call signal using radio waves.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, this type of selective call receiving device has used a speaker to emit a ringtone as a means to notify of a call,
Devices that transmit vibrations to the human body are known, and the latter selective call receiving device includes a small motor and is configured to transmit vibrations caused by the rotation of this small motor to the human body.

Compared to selective call receiving devices that transmit this vibration to the human body, compared to selective call receiving devices that emit a ring tone, a selective call receiving device that transmits this vibration to the human body can be used in places where the ring tone cannot be heard due to surrounding noise, and can be used in places where the ring tone cannot be heard due to surrounding noise. Only the user who receives the call can be aware of the call.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the conventional selective call receiving device equipped with a small motor, the shape of the device is restricted, it is difficult to miniaturize the device, and the battery life is shortened due to the current consumption of the motor. The problem is that it becomes shorter.

In view of the above conventional problems, the present invention can be used in places where the ringing tone cannot be heard due to surrounding noise without using a motor, and can be used in places where the ringing tone cannot be heard due to surrounding noise. It is an object of the present invention to provide a selective call receiving device that can obtain the following advantages.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a jack for outputting a notification signal for selective calling, and a plug for detachably connecting to the jack. The cable is provided with an element that emits light in response to a notification signal outputted from the plug via the plug, the other end of which is attached.

According to the above structure, the present invention can be used in places where the ring tone cannot be heard due to surrounding noise by attaching the light emitting element to the user's collar, the top of the pocket, a necktie, etc. Only the user can be aware of the call without being noticed.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a selective call receiving apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an external view showing the selective call receiving apparatus of FIG.

In FIG. 1, an antenna 1 receives a carrier wave of a selective call signal transmitted by a base station (not shown), and an antenna 2 demodulates the radio frequency carrier wave received via the antenna 1 into a low frequency digital signal. The wireless unit 3 has its own number registered in advance, and the decoder logic unit 4 decodes the digital signal from the wireless unit 2 into a number.
A main switch 5 is used to turn on and off power supplied from a battery (not shown) to the radio unit 2 and decoder logic unit 3, and a main switch 5 is used to make the speaker 7 emit a ring tone,
D) 8 and an output control unit for blinking the light emitting element 9 equipped with the clip 10 as shown in FIG. 2; 6 is a signal output jack for outputting a blinking signal for the light emitting element 9;

As shown in FIG. 2, the main switch 4 and signal output jack 6 are provided on the housing for easy operation, the speaker 7 is provided on the housing for easy ringing, and the light emitting element 8
is provided on the housing so that the blinking light can be easily seen. Also,
The antenna 1, the radio section 2, the decoder logic section 3, the output control section 5, and the like are built into a housing, and this housing is placed in a user's belt, pants, jacket pocket, or the like.

A light emitting element 9 with a crimp is connected to one end of a cable 11, and the other end of the cable 11 has a signal output jack 6.
A plug 12 is connected thereto for electrical and mechanical connection.

Note that the clip 10 is used to attach the light emitting element 9 to the user's collar, the top of a pocket, a tie, etc.

As shown in FIG. 1, the signal output jack 6 includes a switch 6a for turning on and off between the output control section 5 and the speaker 7, and a switch 6a for turning on and off between the output control section 5 and the light emitting element 80. A switch 6b is provided, and this switch 6a
, 6b are both configured to be turned off when the plug 12 is inserted into the signal output jack 6, and turned on when the plug 12 is removed.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a signal input from an antenna 1 is demodulated by a radio section 2 and then is demodulated by a decoder logic section 3.
The decoder logic section 3 also compares the decoded number with its own number, and drives the output control section 5 if they match.

Here, since both the switches 6a and 6b are off when the plug 12 is inserted into the signal output jack 6, only the light emitting element 9 with the clip flashes or the like to notify the call.

Therefore, by attaching the light-emitting element 9 with a clip to the collar, the top of a pocket, a necktie, etc., the user can use it in places where the ringer cannot be heard due to surrounding noise, and can be used in places where the user cannot hear the ring tone due to surrounding noise. Only the user can know the call without any trouble.

In addition, when the speaker 7 sounds a ringtone,
Simply pull out the plug 12 from the jack 6 (1. As described in detail, the present invention includes a jack for outputting a notification signal for selective calling, and a plug that can be detachably connected to this jack. The cable has a plug attached to one end and a device attached to the other end that emits light in response to a notification signal output from the jack via the plug, so that the light emitting device can be attached to the user's collar, the top of a pocket, a necktie, etc. By attaching the device to the device, it can be used in places where the ringing tone cannot be heard due to surrounding noise, and only the user can hear the ringing without being noticed by the people around them.
