The present invention relates to a method of displaying a wireless pager, and more particularly, to a method of registering personal information corresponding to a telephone number in a memory of a wireless pager and displaying corresponding personal information together with a telephone number received at the call.

In general, a pager (paging receiver) is a reception-only terminal, and can be classified into a numeric pager capable of receiving only numeric information and an alpha-numeric pager capable of receiving alphanumeric information. . The wireless pager capable of receiving texts can store a lot of data because it transmits a language used in daily life compared to a wireless pager capable of receiving only numbers. Therefore, a wireless pager capable of receiving texts requires a separate storage location outside. And these storage locations usually use memory that can store more than a few tens of Kbytes.

In the wireless pager capable of receiving text as described above, a large amount of data can be stored in the external memory, so that a function other than the wireless call function can be added using a predetermined area of the external memory.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for storing personal information together with a phone number in an external memory of a wireless pager capable of receiving a text and accessing and displaying personal information corresponding to a phone number received at the time of calling. .

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of storing a subscriber's telephone number and name in an external memory of a wireless pager capable of receiving text, and searching for the external memory to display the telephone number and name when calling.

In order to achieve the above object of the present invention, there is provided a display method of a wireless pager having a memory for storing personal information including a telephone number and a display unit capable of displaying a text, and a process of checking reception of a message, and upon receiving the message. Sequentially accessing the personal information in the memory to check whether there is a same phone number as the received phone number, and when there is personal information having the same phone number as the received phone number, controlling the display unit to display the corresponding personal information. Characterized by the process of displaying.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the same parts in the figures represent the same reference signs wherever possible.

1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a radio call receiver capable of receiving alphanumeric information for carrying out the present invention.

The receiver 11 receives radio call information and performs functions of frequency conversion, demodulation, and waveform shaping. Therefore, the output of the receiver 11 becomes radio call information converted into digital data. The output of the receiver 11 is applied to the decoder 12. The decoder 12 decodes the received data and sets an operation mode of the radio call receiver. That is, in the idle mode, the supply of the operating power is controlled at regular intervals to detect the preamble data. In the batch mode, the word sync data and the set frame data are detected. The detected frame data is decoded and converted into the original data form. The microcontroller 15 receives the decoded data output from the decoder 12. The microcontroller 15 processes the received data to control an alarm function. The memory 16 has an area for storing character and numeric data generated during program execution. It also has a personal information storage area for displaying personal information according to the present invention. The display unit 17 displays the message of the calling party and the status information of the radio call receiver by the display control signal output from the microcontroller 15. The display unit 17 includes a display area for displaying personal information corresponding to the telephone number received under the control of the microprocessor 15. The alarm unit 18 generates an alarm signal such as a tone signal or a vibration signal for informing that the alarm unit 18 has been called by the alarm control signal output from the microcontroller 15.

2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the memory 16 according to the present invention, where 2A is a structure showing the structure of the memory 16, where REG1 is an area for storing data generated during the operation of the pager, and REG2 is Means the personal information area allocated to display personal information according to the present invention. 2B is a diagram showing the structure of the personal information area REG2, and is designed to store a plurality of personal information PRI1-PRIn. 2C is a diagram showing each area of the personal information PRI, which can be variably operated. In the present invention, it is assumed that the display unit 17 includes four personal information first to fourth items INF1-INF4 on the assumption that the display unit 17 has four lines of display functions. 2D presents specific examples of personal information corresponding to the personal information items INF1-INF4 as shown in (2C) above. In (2D), the subscriber's name is registered in the first item INF1, the subscriber's telephone number is registered in the second item INF2, the company name or the location name of the subscriber is registered in the third item INF, and the fourth item INF4. Shall be reserved.

The pager of the present invention as described above must first register subscriber's personal information PRI1-PRIn frequently called in the personal information area REG2 of the memory 16. When the wireless call is made while the personal information PRI1-PRIns are registered in the memory 16 as described above, in the case of alpha-numeric information, the decoder unit 12 converts the information to 7-bit or 14-bit according to the corresponding form. Convert to unit data. The decoder 12 then determines whether the address of the received information is the same as its own address. At this time, when the address of the received call information is the same as its own address, the microprocessor 15 compares the phone number which is the message information of the received call information with the phone numbers registered in the personal information area REG2, Search for equality with one of the information PRI1-PRIn. At this time, if the telephone number received in the search process is the same telephone number as any one of the personal information PRI1-PRIn of the personal information area REG2, the microprocessor 15 stores the personal information item as shown in FIG. The INF1-INF4s are accessed and displayed on the display unit 17.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of displaying personal information corresponding to a telephone number received when a message is received in a pager according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the receiver 11 transmits the received wireless call information to the decoder 12, and the decoder 12 transmits a message to the microcontroller 15 when the address of the call information is its own address. Then, the microcontroller 15 detects the reception of the message in step 311, stores the received message in the memory 16 in step 313, and simultaneously controls the display unit 17 to display the received message. The message then includes the telephone number of the calling party. The operation up to step 313 may be displayed in the following state as a step before comparing the contents of the personal information.

If it is assumed here that the display unit 17 displays four lines of information, the DSP 1-DSP 4 indicates the positions of the respective lines of the display unit 17. The information displayed on the display unit 17 is performed in the normal display mode. The information displayed on the DSP1 display area indicates the number of calls, and the information displayed on the DSP2 display area indicates time information when the corresponding message is received. The information displayed on the DSP3 display area means the telephone number of the message. Here, the telephone number is composed of area code-country-subscriber unique numbers, and the area code may not be received.

In the state of displaying the message on the display unit 17, the microcontroller 15 checks whether there is personal information registered in the personal information area REG2 as shown in FIG. 2A of FIG. If there is no personal information registered in the personal information area REG2, the routine ends.

However, if there is the personal information PRI1-PRIn registered in the personal information area REG2 of the memory 16 in step 315, the microcontroller 15 performs steps 317-327. That is, the microcontroller 15 sequentially loads the personal information PRI1-PRIn registered in the personal information area REG2 of the memory 16 and compares it with the received phone number. Personal information to be displayed on the display unit 17; That is, the microcontroller 15 loads the first personal information PRI1 in step 317 and compares it with the telephone number received in step 321. At this time, if the received telephone number and the personal information PRII of the comparison is different, the microprocessor 15 detects this in step 323 and proceeds to step 325 to load the next personal information and repeats the above operation. In addition, if the result of comparing the phone number received in step 321 with the phone number of the corresponding personal information PRIi is the same, it is detected in step 323 and the display unit 17 is controlled in step 327 to display the corresponding personal information PRIi. In this case, the personal information displayed on the display unit 17 may be implemented as follows.

That is, when there is the same personal information PRII as the received telephone number, the microprocessor 15 further displays the subscriber's name and the like on the display unit 17 in addition to the telephone number.

However, upon receiving the message, if the received telephone number is compared with all the personal information PRI1-PRIns registered in the personal information area REG2 and there is no personal information with the same phone number, the microprocessor 15 detects it in step 315. Terminate the routine.

When comparing the received phone number and the phone number of the personal information PRII, the same phone number can be searched by comparing only certain digits in the back part without comparing all the phone numbers. Normally, the telephone number is composed of the area code-station-subscriber's unique number and the like as described above. In this case, even if only the unique number of the subscriber can be registered, the registered personal information PRII can be displayed almost accurately. Therefore, the present invention compares the unique number of the subscriber consisting of four digits when performing a comparison search between the received telephone number and personal information.

4A is a diagram for explaining a first method of comparing and searching telephone numbers, wherein dashes are used for the received telephone numbers. 5A is a diagram for explaining a second method of comparing and searching telephone numbers, in which a dash is not used in the received telephone number. A phone number is registered in the second item INF2 of the personal information PRII stored in the memory 16. In this case, it is assumed that the registered phone number uses a dash (-) as shown in (4B) and (5B).

When the microcontroller 15 compares the phone number received in steps 315 to 327 with the phone number of the personal information PRIi, the microcontroller 15 compares from the back digit. This is so that even if the user registers the area code, the comparison search is possible even when the caller calls except the area code. In addition, the user stores the dash (-) information between the area code and the station number in the phone number, and between the station number and the subscriber's unique number, but enables the comparison search even when the caller calls except for the dash (-) information. do.

As described above, when comparing the entire phone number according to whether the area code is input and whether the dash (-) information is used, the received phone number and the registered phone number may be different as described above. In this case, if you compare the entire phone number, even if the same phone number can not display personal information. In addition, if the subscriber's unique number of the phone number is the same, it can generally be said to be the same phone number. Therefore, in the present invention, when comparing and searching a telephone number, the subscriber's unique number is sequentially compared from the back.

As described above, a memory for storing personal information is provided in a wireless pager capable of displaying a character, and when a message is received, the received phone number is compared with the phone number of registered personal information, and in the same case, the personal information is displayed together and wirelessly. This has the advantage of improving the functionality of the pager.
