Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of the wireless selective call receiver with a display function according to one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, a radio selective call receiver with a display function according to this embodiment comprises an antenna 1, a radio section 2,
Waveform shaping circuit 3, decoder unit 4, ID memory unit 5, CP
U6, a driver unit 7, an LCD driver 8, an LCD 9, a memory 10, an LED 11, a speaker 12, and a keyboard 13. The radio selective call receiver with a display function according to the present embodiment performs a call notification by receiving a signal including its own selective call number and displays a message included in the received signal. In addition to the original functions of the machine, it also has an electronic organizer function and an automatic register function of electronic notebook record contents. Here, the recorded contents of the electronic organizer are stored in the memory 10.
It is recorded in the electronic organizer area secured in.

FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of contents recorded in the electronic organizer area of the memory 10. As shown in the figure, the electronic organizer area 101 stores first information 10 such as a person name and a company name.
A plurality of sets each of which is associated with second information 103 such as an address and a telephone number, which are associated information, are stored.

Manual registration of information in the electronic organizer area 101 is performed using the keyboard 13. That is, the user inputs first information such as a person's name and a company name and second information such as an address and a telephone number as accompanying information using the keyboard 13 capable of inputting numbers and alphabets. When the registration is instructed, the CPU 6 registers the input first information 102 in a free area in the electronic organizer area 101 of the memory 10, and further registers the first information 102.
The input second information 103 is registered in association with. If only the first information is input, the second information
Is not registered. The information manually registered in the electronic organizer area 101 in this manner can be saved by operating the keyboard 13 in the same manner as the automatically registered information described later.
It can be displayed on CD9. This will be described later.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. In FIG. 2, a radio signal received by an antenna 1
And demodulated after amplification. The demodulated signal is output to the waveform shaping circuit 3
Is converted into a digital signal by the
The selected calling number stored in the D memory unit 5 is compared with the selected calling number in the digital signal. Then, when receiving its own selective call number, a message to that effect and a message included in the digital signal are output from the decoder unit 4 to the CPU 6. In response to this, the CPU 6 performs an automatic registration process, and outputs a control signal to the driver unit 7 to make a call notification in a form such as blinking of the LED 11 and sounding of the speaker 12, and also sends a control signal to the LCD driver 8. To display the received message on the LCD 9.

FIG. 4 shows a CP that performs the above-described operation.
It is a flowchart which shows the example of a process of U6. When the CPU 6 is notified by the decoder unit 4 that the selected call number is received and the message is received from the decoder unit 4 (YES in S1),
It is determined whether or not information surrounded by symbols [and symbols] exists in the message (S2). When it is determined that such information does not exist (NO in S2), the driver unit 7 is controlled to blink the LED 11,
Call notification in the form of sounding of LCD and LCD
The driver 8 is controlled to display the received message on the LCD 9 (S3), and the process S1 is performed to wait for the reception of the message.
Return to The received message is stored in the memory 1 in the same manner as in the past.
It is stored in 0 and can be redisplayed later.

On the other hand, in the process S2, when it is determined that the information enclosed by the symbols [and the symbol] exists in the message (YES in S2), the CPU 6 determines the same information as the information enclosed by the symbols [and the symbol]. A search is made as to whether or not this information has already been registered as first information 102 in the electronic organizer area 101 of the memory 10 (S4). If the same information has not been registered (NO in S4), processing S7 is executed, and if the same information has been registered (YES in S4), processing S5 and S6 are executed.

For example, in the electronic organizer area 101, "Yamada Taro" is registered as first information, "03-123-1234" is registered as corresponding second information, and other information is registered. Not in the state
When receiving the message "[Tanaka Hanako] 03-123-4567 Zitak", the CPU 6 determines in step S4 that the same information has not been registered, performs a call notification in step S7, and displays the information on the LCD 9 as shown in FIG. And a mark 91 as shown in the figure for notifying that the same information as the information enclosed by the symbols [and the symbol] is not registered. Then, the process returns to step S1 to wait for the reception of a message.

If a message "[Yamada Taro] Chiyoda Nihonbashi 1-2-3" is received in the above state, the CPU 6 determines in step S4 that the same information has been registered. Information other than the information surrounded by the symbols [and symbols] in the middle, that is, the information “Chiyoda Nihonbashi 1-2-3” is stored in the electronic memory of the memory 10 as the second information corresponding to the first information “Yamada Taro”. Register in the notebook area 101. At this time, if another piece of second information has already been registered, the second piece of information is registered this time, and the second piece of information registered this time is information related to automatic registration. Record this in some way. Therefore, in the present example, the first
Since "03-123-1234" has already been registered as the second information corresponding to the information "Yamada Taro", the current second information "Chiyodaku Nihonbashi 1-2"
3 "is additionally registered, and that this is information relating to automatic registration is recorded. Thereafter, the CPU 6 proceeds to step S6.
In addition to the notification of the call, a received message is displayed on the LCD 9 as shown in FIG. 5B, for example, and the fact that information other than the information enclosed by the symbols [and the symbols] is automatically registered is notified. Mark 92 as shown
Is displayed. Then, the process returns to step S1 to wait for the reception of a message.

After that, when the user operates the keyboard 13 to display the contents of the electronic notebook area 101 of the memory 10 or makes a search request specifying the first information, the CPU 10 displays the contents of the electronic notebook area 101 on the LCD 9. Then, information obtained by searching the electronic notebook area 101 with the designated first information is displayed on the LCD 9.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the search processing of the CPU 6. As shown in the figure, when a search request designating the first information is input from the keyboard 13, the CPU 6 registers the same first information as the input first information in the electronic notebook area 101. A search is made as to whether or not the information is registered (S11). If the information is not registered, the fact is displayed on the LCD 9 (S12), and the processing in FIG. If registered, the first information and the corresponding second information
Is read out from the electronic organizer area 101 and displayed on the LCD 9 (S13). At this time, the second information also indicates the source. For example, as described above, the electronic organizer area 1
01, the first information “Yamada Taro” and the second information “0
3-123-1234 "is manually registered, and in the state where the second information" Chiyoda Nihonbashi 1-2-3 "is automatically registered, a search by" Yamada Taro "is performed. The display as shown in FIG. 5 (c) is performed. In the figure, a mark 93 indicates that the following display “03-123-1234” is information input from the keyboard 13, and a mark 94 automatically registers the following display “Chiyoda Nihonbashi 1-2-3”. Information, that is, a received message.

[0020]

As described above, according to the radio selective call receiver with a display function of the present invention, the call message contains information between the symbols [and] as shown in FIG.
There is information (person name, company name, etc.) surrounded by a predetermined symbol
If the same information as the existing person name, company name, etc. is already registered in the memory, the remaining information such as the telephone number, address, etc. in the message is automatically additionally registered in the memory. Therefore, there is an effect that it is not necessary to manually register the accompanying information such as the address transmitted in the message including the person name and the company name in the memory in advance just by registering the person name and the company name in the memory in advance. Further, even if the user does not carry the receiver, or does not check the received message even if the user carries the receiver, registration is performed, so that omission of registration can be eliminated.

Further, when the automatic registration is performed, the fact is displayed on the display, so that the contents of the automatic registration can be confirmed.

Further, when the information stored in the memory is read out and displayed on the display, whether the second information such as the telephone number and the address is input from the input device or is automatically registered is determined. Since it is specified, the source of the registered contents can be confirmed.
