Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a setting data changing device, and more particularly, to a setting data changing device which has various functions in a menu format and can change a setting state of each menu item.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, in a wireless device, various functions and conditions are stored in a memory so that the settings can be changed, and these functions and conditions are set in a menu format. The menu includes, for example, “VOX gain setting”, “FM subtone setting”, “transmission filter bandwidth setting”,
There are various types such as "setting of CW pitch". In order to change the setting contents of the menu, the menu mode for that is activated, the menu is displayed on the display unit, and then the menu item switching means sets the setting target menu item number of the currently displayed menu to 1 Switch between turns,
Specify the desired menu item number. After this designation is completed, the contents of the target menu item are changed by the setting data switching means.

FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a conventional menu item setting device. In the menu item data area 4, the above-mentioned menu items are stored in a table format in which setting data are associated with each menu item number (0, 1, 2 ...). The information stored in the menu item data area 4 is displayed on the display means 5 under the control of the CPU 3. When changing the setting contents of the menu item, the menu-item switching means 1 is operated to increase or decrease the menu item number read from the menu item data area 4 displayed on the display means 5 by one. After specifying the desired menu item number, the setting data switching means 2 changes the setting data. The CPU 3 outputs a hardware control signal for controlling a hardware part of the main body such as a wireless device.

This operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the menu item switching means 1 is operated,
The CPU 1 reads out the current menu item number and its setting data from the menu item data area 4 (step S21), and identifies whether the switching direction is the number increasing direction (UP direction) or the number decreasing direction (DOWN direction). Yes (step S22). When it is determined in step S22 that the switching direction is the DOWN direction, it is determined whether the menu item number is 0 (step S23). If it is 0, the menu item number is set to the maximum value (menu item data area 4 (The maximum value of the menu item number stored in) (step S24), and if it is not 0, the menu number is decremented by 1 (step S25) and the obtained menu item number (currently The menu item number of is stored in the memory (step S2).
9).

When it is determined in step S22 that the switching direction is the UP direction, it is determined whether or not the menu item number is the maximum value (step S26). If it is the maximum value, the menu item number is determined. Set it to 0 (step S27), and if it is not the maximum value, set the menu item number to 1
Is incremented (step S28), and the obtained menu item number is stored in the memory (step S29). Finally, a process of displaying the menu item number and the corresponding setting data on the display means 5 is performed (step S30).

As described above, conventionally, after the target menu item is designated by the menu item switching means, the setting data is changed by the setting data switching means. However, the menu item switching means 1 is usually of a volume type and instructs increment or decrement by one. Therefore, the more menu items there are. There is a problem that it takes time to specify a target menu item, and it is not possible to change or set the menu contents quickly.

When there are many menu items,
There are menu items that users of the system frequently change setting data and menu items that do not change frequently.
The above-mentioned "setting of VOX gain", "setting of FM subtone", and "setting of transmission filter bandwidth" are relatively frequently changed, while "CW pitch" indicating the frequency of the received sound of Morse code is Frequent change settings. In such a case, it is desirable to be able to quickly select only the menu items that are frequently changed and set the changes, but in the past, it was necessary to select one by one regardless of these priorities, and quick setting is possible. Is difficult.

Under the control of the CPU 3, as a result of searching the menu item number by the quick menu function, when there is no selected item, the beep sound generating means 11 is driven to generate the beep sound.

Next, the quick menu operation processing of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the menu item number currently displayed on the display device 5 is read (step S1) and stored in the search start number memory 6 as the search start number (step S).
2). Then, after clearing the warning beep sound generation request flag (step S3), the switching direction is identified (step S4), and when it is identified as the DOWN direction, it is determined whether the menu item number is 0 ( If it is 0 in step S5), the menu item number is set to the maximum value (step S6). If it is not 0, the menu item number is decremented by 1 (step S7).

On the other hand, if it is discriminated in the UP direction in step S4, it is judged whether or not the menu item number is the maximum value (step S8). If it is the maximum value, the menu item number is set to 0. It is set (step S9), and if it is not the maximum value, the menu item number is incremented by 1 (step S10).

After performing the processing of steps S6, S7, S9 and S10, the menu item number is stored in the memory (step S11) and the on / off of the quick menu is performed.
Is identified (step S12), and if it is identified as on, it is determined whether or not it is the selected menu item (step S13). Here, if it is not the selected menu item, it is determined whether or not the menu item number matches the search start number stored in the search start number memory 6 (step S14).
Returning to the processing of step 4, if they match, the warning beep sound generation request flag setting unit 10 sets the warning beep sound generation request flag (step S15).

After the processing of steps S12, S13 and S15, a beep sound generation processing is executed (step S16),
