Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display a calling message onto a television receiver without losing the carrying performance of the radio selective calling receiver. SOLUTION: A display data transmission section 17 of a radio selective calling receiver body 1 drives an infrared ray light emitting element 18 by a received calling message signal and converts the calling message into an infrared ray signal and transmits it. A display data reception section 22 of a message display processing unit 2 provides an output of a call message converted into an electric signal from the infrared ray signal by an infrared ray light receiving element 21. A display data processing section 32 processes the data so as to have a character size displayed at once on a screen of a television receiver depending on a data length of the calling message. A video signal generating section 24 converts calling message data processed by the display data processing section 32 into a video signal displayed on the television receiver. A TV video signal conversion section 25 converts the data into a television video signal of a designated TV channel.

Description

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, and more particularly to a radio selective call receiver having a call message display function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Current radio selective call receivers are capable of displaying a call message in addition to making a call by simply sounding. However, since the display screen is narrow in the portable radio selective call receiver, a long message cannot be displayed at one time, and it is divided and displayed, which is difficult to see.

In order to solve such a problem, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 64-2485, a television receiver has a built-in radio selective calling reception function, so that The whole calling message is displayed on the screen at once.

[0004]

However, as described above, when the radio selective calling receiver is built in the television receiver, the radio selective calling receiver cannot be carried alone and used. Moreover, even if a small-sized portable television receiver has a built-in wireless selective calling receiver, it is inconvenient to carry around a small and portable portable television receiver that is larger and heavier than a portable wireless selective calling receiver. There is a point.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a radio selective call receiver capable of displaying even a long call message on a television receiver at a time for easy viewing without losing the portability of the radio selective call receiver. It is in.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A radio selective calling receiver of the present invention transmits by infrared signal to a portable radio selective calling receiver body having means for converting a received calling message into an infrared signal and transmitting the infrared signal. And a message display processor for converting an incoming call message into a signal that can be displayed on a television receiver. Further, in order to display a long calling message on the screen of the television receiver at one time, the message display processor is provided with a function of adjusting the display character size according to the data length of the calling message data.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the radio selective calling receiver of the present invention comprises a portable radio selective calling receiver main body 1 and a message display processor 2 installed on the television receiver 3 side.

The main body of the radio selective calling receiver 1 has the same function as that of the conventional portable radio selective calling receiver, and also has a function of transmitting a calling message by infrared rays. That is, a selective call receiving unit 11 that receives and demodulates a calling radio signal, a control unit 12, a local station information storage unit 13 that stores identification information of the local station, and a message holding unit that sequentially holds the received calling messages. 14, a sounding unit 15 that emits a sound when a call is made to its own station, a liquid crystal display unit 16 that displays a calling message, a display data transmitting unit 17, and an infrared light emitting element 18.

Here, the control unit 12 controls the selective call receiving unit 1
1 receives the demodulated signal, collates it with the own station identification information stored in the own station information storage unit 13, and when the call is addressed to the own station, controls the sounding unit 15 to notify the call and calls the call message. Is stored in the message holding unit 14 and simultaneously displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 16. The above is the function as the conventional radio selective calling receiver.

Further, the display data transmission unit 17 is composed of the control unit 1
Controlled by 2, the infrared light emitting element 18 is driven by the call message signal, and the call message signal is converted into an infrared signal and transmitted.

The message display processor 2 installed on the television receiver side includes an infrared light receiving element 21, a display data receiving section 22, a display data processing section 23, a video signal generating section 24, and a TV video signal. And a conversion unit 25.

The infrared light receiving element 21 receives the infrared signal sent from the radio selective call receiver main body 1, converts it into an electric signal, and outputs it to the display data receiving section 22. The display data receiving unit 22 outputs the calling message.

The display data processing unit 23 processes the data according to the data length of the calling message so that the character size can be displayed at one time on the screen of the television receiver. For example, in the case of a long message, the character size is reduced, and in the case of a short message, the character size is increased.

The video signal generation section 24 converts the call message data processed by the display data processing section 23 into a video signal which can be displayed on the screen of the television receiver. By inputting this video signal to the video input terminal of the television receiver, a calling message can be displayed on the television screen.

The TV video signal converter 25 converts the TV video signal of a designated TV channel. By inputting this television video signal to the television input terminal of the television receiver, a calling message can be displayed on the television screen.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, in addition to the radio selective calling function similar to the conventional one, a radio selective calling receiver main body having a function of converting a calling message into an infrared signal and transmitting the infrared signal, By composing with a message display processor that converts the call message transmitted by infrared signal into a signal that can be displayed on the screen of the television receiver, the call message can be received without losing the portability of the radio selective call receiver. Can be displayed on a television receiver.

Further, by adjusting the display character size according to the length of the calling message, the entire long calling message can be displayed on the screen of the television receiver at one time, so that the message is easy to see.
