JPH09102976A - Communication function stop method for radio call terminal and radio call terminal for the same - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the burden on a service company and to enable a new type service contract by setting the number of times of enabling reception or/and the time limit and stopping the communication function of a terminal when the number of times or the time exceeds the set value. SOLUTION: A radio call terminal 1 is provided with a general communication function by a reception part 2, storage part 3, message control part 4 and display part 5 or the like. Further, this terminal is provided with a setting part 6 for setting a communicatable circuit 6A and communicatable validity 6B, integrating part 8 for integrating the number of times of communication and time, and control part 9 for stopping the communication by comparing the integrated value with the set value. Thus, the setting of communicatable limit and the control of stop are built in the radio call terminal itself and the communication function can be automatically stopped. The communicatable number of times and/or the communicatable limit can be set on a single condition or synergistic conditions, and the contract on various conditions is enabled. Further, confirmation or operation for finishing the contract is unnecessitated, management is facilitated and office work efficiency is improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for conditionally stopping a communication function of a radio paging terminal in a radio paging service, and a radio paging terminal used for the method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the conventional radio calling service, an identification number is set for a radio calling terminal occupied by a contract user, and the business is performed. The radio calling terminal is leased or owned by the user. In some cases. And, during the contract period, charging services such as billing / receipt of service usage fees, suspension of services due to contract failure or contract termination due to contract failure, device operation for suspension and management of its identification number The service provider bears a large burden such as.

[0004]

In view of the above points, the present invention provides a method for stopping the communication function of a wireless calling terminal that reduces the burden on a service provider and enables a new form of service contract, and a method therefor. It is intended to provide a radio calling terminal to be used.

[0005]

The method of the present invention is characterized in that the number of receivable times and / or the time limit is set, and when the set value is exceeded, the communication function of the terminal is stopped. Is. Also, the radio calling terminal used in the method includes an integrating unit that integrates the number of times of communication and / or time, a setting unit that sets the number of times of reception or the time limit at which communication is possible,
And a control unit for comparing the integrated value and the set value to stop the communication.

According to the present invention, a communication limit is set in the communication function of the radio calling terminal, and the setting and stop control are built in the radio calling terminal itself. Therefore, the service operator can perform any operation. Without this, the communication function can be stopped.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described. The radio calling terminal 1 receives the calling signal transmitted from the service provider at the receiving unit 2, receives it when the identification numbers and the like match, and the message control unit 4 compares the input message signal with the corresponding message in the storage unit. , And has a general communication function of displaying on the display unit 5.

Further, it has a setting unit 6 capable of setting the number of times communication is possible 6A and / or the period 6B communication is possible.
Of the setting unit 6 and the integrating unit 8 is provided with a number integrating unit 8A for integrating the number of checks from the counting unit 7 for checking the reception input of and the time integrating unit 8B for measuring time or time. There is a control unit 9 that compares the numerical values and operates to stop the power switch 10 and stop the function of the receiving unit 2 when the numerical values of the setting unit 6 are exceeded.

Therefore, by setting the number of possible communications and / or the period of possible communications so as to stop the communication under a single condition, a synergistic condition, or only one of them, it becomes possible to contract under various conditions. And, the communication can be automatically stopped.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to make a contract including not only the period but also the number of times of use, and it is possible to set a wide variety of contracts. Operation is also unnecessary and clerical efficiency is improved.

Further, since the radio calling terminal automatically stops the communication function, management of the identification number becomes extremely easy, and there is an effect that confusion due to double registration or illegal use can be prevented.

[0012] With the cost reduction of wireless communication terminals, the use of the present invention makes it possible to sell by a prepaid system, and as a result, contracts, billing, collection of charges, reminder, suspension of use, etc. are reduced and simplified. Alternatively, it is not necessary at all, and the effect of expecting the promotion of use of the radio calling terminal is exhibited.
