An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

Fig. 1 is a block diagram of the portable telephone device of this embodiment. Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of the portable telephone device of this embodiment.

The portable telephone device of this embodiment includes an antenna 101B, a reception filter 105, a demodulation circuit 106, a data modulation and demodulation circuit 107, a microprocessor (mpu) 113, a sound signal processing circuit 110, a receiver 111, a microphone 112, Transmission circuit 109, transmission filter 108, antenna 101A, filter 102, demodulation circuit 103, demodulation circuit 104, memory A 114, display 115, operating circuit 116, alarm circuit 117, and memory B 119.

Its operation will be described.

The antenna 101B receives a radio wave signal RW1 including a channel of a telephone signal including a voice signal and a control signal. The reception filter 105 extracts the channel of the telephone signal from the received radio wave signal RW1. The demodulation circuit 106 demodulates the telephone signal from the reception filter 105, and generates a baseband telephone signal. The data modulation and demodulation circuit 107 detects a control signal from the baseband telephone signal from the demodulation circuit 106, and generates a digital control signal in the reception mode. The microprocessor 113 having a ROM 113a receives digital control signals from the data modulation and demodulation circuit 107, and executes necessary programs stored in the ROM 113a. The audio signal processing circuit 110 processes an audio signal included in the telephone signal from the demodulation circuit 106 . The receiver 111 reproduces the audio signal from the audio signal processing circuit 110 .

The microphone 112 receives sound and generates a sound signal to be transmitted. The microprocessor 113 generates a dial signal in response to the operating circuit, or generates a dial signal from telephone number data from the memory B 119. The data modulation and demodulation circuit modulates the dial signal.

The transmission circuit 119 modulates the dial signal from the data modulation and demodulation circuit 107, and the voice signal from the voice signal processing circuit 110 to generate a transmission telephone signal occupying a transmission channel. The transmission telephone signal is transmitted as a radio wave signal RW2 by the antenna 101B through the transmission filter 108 which suppresses unnecessary frequency components other than the transmission channel.

The antenna 101A receives a radio wave signal RW3 including a paging signal including confirmation data and communication data. Filter 102 suppresses unwanted frequency components. The demodulation circuit 103 demodulates the received radio wave signal RW3, and generates a baseband paging signal. The demodulation circuit 104 detects the baseband paging signal and generates a digital paging signal. The microprocessor 113 receives the digital paging signal from the demodulation circuit 104 .

The microprocessor 113 stores the communication data contained in the paging signal from the demodulation circuit 104 into the memory A 114. The microprocessor 113 extracts digital data from the communication data as dial data, and stores it in the memory B 119. The microprocessor 113 displays communication data or digital data on a display. The operation circuit 116 receives the user's operation, and transmits the operation signal to the microprocessor 113 . The alarm circuit 117 alerts the user by generating sound, lighting or vibration.

The operation will be described more specifically.

The microprocessor 113 executes the programs stored in the ROM 113 shown in FIG. 2 .

In step st100, the microprocessor 113 enters a waiting state in step st100, and waits for the arrival of a paging signal entering through the antenna 101A, the filter 102, and the demodulation circuit 104 (forming a paging receiving section). In the next step st101, the microprocessor 113 judges whether or not the arriving paging signal is directed to the portable telephone device. The microprocessor 113 detects whether the paging signal is directed to the portable telephone device by comparing the confirmation data in the paging signal with the confirmation data stored in the ROM 113a. If the paging signal directed to the portable telephone device does not arrive, the microprocessor 113 repeats the processing in step 101 until the paging signal directed to the portable telephone device arrives. If the paging signal directed to the portable telephone set arrives, the microprocessor 113 extracts the communication data from the digital paging signal from the demodulation circuit 104 and stores it in the memory A 114 in step st102. The microprocessor 113 displays the communication data on the display 115, and alerts the user through the alarm circuit 117 that the paging signal directed to the portable telephone device has arrived at predetermined intervals in step st103.

This alarm notifies the user that a paging signal has arrived. If the user is present, the user will press the paging signal arrival confirmation key (not shown) on the operating circuit 116 to immediately stop the alarm signal. The operating circuit supplies a paging signal arrival confirmation signal 201 to the microprocessor 113 in response to the paging signal arrival confirmation key being pressed.

The microprocessor 113 determines whether the paging signal arrival confirmation key is pressed, that is, whether the paging signal arrival confirmation signal 201 is provided in response to the paging signal arrival confirmation key at step st105. If the paging signal arrival confirmation key is pressed, the microprocessor 113 immediately stops the alarm at step st107. If the paging signal arrival confirmation key is not pressed in step st105, this process is repeated until the paging signal arrival confirmation key is pressed. If a predetermined interval has elapsed during the processing in step st105, the microprocessor 113 stops the alarm. If in step st105 the alarm is stopped because a predetermined interval has elapsed, and in step 107, if the alarm is still in the stopped state in step st107, the processing in step st107 has practically no effect.

In the next step st108, the microprocessor 113 extracts digital data from the communication data stored in the memory A 114, and stores the extracted digital data in the memory B 119.

In the next step st119, the microprocessor 113 determines whether a communication key (not shown) on the operation circuit 116 is pressed, that is, determines whether the operation circuit generates the communication command signal 202 in response to the communication key. In step st119, if the communication key is not pressed, the microprocessor 113 judges whether to press the display mode change key (not shown) on the operation circuit 116, that is, to determine whether the operation circuit 116 generates a display mode change command signal in step st109 . If the display mode change key is not pressed, the microprocessor 113 repeats the processing in steps st119 and st109 until the communication key or the display mode change key is pressed. At step 119, the communication key is pressed, and the process proceeds to step st116.

In step st109, if the display mode change key is pressed, the microprocessor 113 deletes the communication data displayed on the display 115, and then displays the numerical data from the memory B 119 as the caller's telephone number. In the next step st111, the microprocessor 113 displays a cursor on top of the displayed numerical data.

In step st112 , the microprocessor 113 determines whether there is digital data input from the operating circuit 116 , that is, determines whether the operating circuit 116 generates a digital data signal 203 in response to a digital switch on the operating circuit 116 . If there is digital data input from the operation circuit 116, the microprocessor 113 rewrites the digital data according to the position of the cursor in step st113. This numerical data is written into memory B 119 so that it is inserted before the cursor position. After step st112 or st113, the microprocessor 113 judges whether or not the communication key is pressed in step st114. If the communication key has not been pressed, the process proceeds to step st115. At step st115, the microprocessor 113 judges whether other commands are input from the operation circuit 116 or not. If there is no other command, the process returns to step st112, and the processes in steps st112, st113, st114, and st115 are repeated until the communication key is pressed or another command is input. For example, a user repeatedly enters numeric data to insert a telephone area code before receiving a telephone number.

If there is no area code in the caller's telephone number, the user can insert an area code before the stored telephone number data. In addition, if the phone number displayed on the display 115 and stored in the memory B has an error, the user can change a part of the stored phone number data with reference to the displayed image of the stored phone number and cursor. The position of the cursor may be changed by means of cursor movement keys (not shown) on operating circuit 116 which generate cursor movement signals 204 in response to the cursor movement keys. Therefore, the user can change the telephone number data at any position (digit number) of the telephone number data. In this case, once the cursor is moved, digital data is overwritten on the stored data.

When editing is complete, the user will press the communication key to perform the automatic paging function. In response to the communication key in steps st119 and st114, the microprocessor 113 performs an automatic paging function. That is, the microprocessor 113 reads out the digital data in the memory B 119, and transmits it to the data modulation and demodulation circuit 107 as a dial signal. This dial signal is transmitted through the data modulation and demodulation circuit 107, the transmission circuit 109, the transmission filter 108 and the antenna 101B. The microprocessor 113 performs necessary operations during the ensuing communication, and when the microprocessor 113 detects that the communication is completed, it executes a communication completion process, and then the process returns to step st100.

In step st114, if the communication key is not pressed, then in step st115, the microprocessor 113 determines whether there is other key input. If there is no input to the operation circuit 116, the process returns to step st112. For example, at step 115, the microprocessor checks the digital data from the operating circuit 116 to determine whether the user is performing a normal dialing operation. If there is no input of digital data, the process returns to step st112. If there is input of digital data, the microprocessor 113 generates a dial signal, and transmits the dial signal through the data modulation and demodulation circuit 107, the transmission circuit 109, the transmission filter 108 and the antenna 101B.

For example, a string of numeric data can be regarded as telephone number data by checking whether the string of numeric data has more digits than a predetermined number. Numeric data is distinguished from character data by checking data whose values are within the range of numeric data. For example, in ASCII code, numeric data ranges from 30H to 39H.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of this embodiment, showing a display image.

When the microprocessor 113 receives a paging signal directed to the portable telephone, the microprocessor 113 stores the communication data, and displays the communication data on the display 115 at step st103 as shown in the display image 121. The communication data includes a message of "call me" and numerical data 045-939-1231 as telephone number data.

In step st110, the microprocessor 113 displays the extracted numerical data as telephone number data on the display 115, and in the following step st111, the microprocessor 113 further displays a blinking cursor 140 as shown in the display image 122.

If the editing operation is not required because the telephone number data includes the area code and the data is correct, the user will press the communication key at step 114, and use the telephone number data stored in the memory B 119, displaying the display image 123 to perform auto-finding. Call operation,.

Display images from 131 to 134 show an example of editing operations.

In this example, the numerical data does not include the area code, and it is necessary to add the area code to the numerical data. Then, the user presses the display mode change key at step st109. In response thereto, the microprocessor 113 displays the numerical data stored in the memory B 119 and displays a cursor 140 as shown in a display image 132. The user can edit the digital data stored in the memory B 119 with reference to the displayed image on the display 115. In this example, the area code "045" is inserted before the digital data received in memory B 119. Then, the user will press the communication key at step 114, and the microprocessor 113 uses the telephone number data stored in the memory B 119 to display the image 123 to perform an automatic paging operation.
