DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a radio paging receiver, and more particularly to a radio paging receiver having a voice function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional radio selective call receiver, if a message is received, the content of the message is displayed on a display (LC).
D) Displayed above. In addition, a message such as a numeral or "CALL" is displayed instead of the message, and the message is displayed later when the message is read. When there is no message, tone-only notification is performed, but "TONE ONLY" is displayed at the time of the notification so that the user can recognize the presence or absence of the message.

In the case of receiving a voice message,
Output the message content by voice.

[0004]

In this conventional radio selective calling receiver, when a voice message is received, the contents of the message are immediately output in voice, so that the contents which the surrounding third parties do not want to be known are also known. , There is a problem of privacy violation.

[0005]

According to the present invention, when a voice message is received, the radio selective call receiver does not immediately reproduce the voice message as voice, but the content indicates that the voice message has been received. Display / notification means for immediately displaying the displayed character or image and making a call notification; storage means for storing the voice message; and voice after reading the voice message stored in the storage means by inputting a read operation. Voice synthesis means for synthesizing,
Recording / reproducing means for recording the synthesized voice and reproducing the recorded voice.

A radio selective call receiver according to the present invention stores a radio section for receiving and demodulating a call signal via an antenna, a notification section for generating a call notification sound, and storing its own number (ID). a ROM which are, if the voice message is received
Is an LCD that displays a predetermined character or image and displays a received message when a message other than the voice message is received, a RAM that stores the voice message and the received message, and a RAM that is stored in the RAM. The R of the voice message and the received message
A switch for inputting a command to read out from the AM, said R
A voice synthesizing unit for voice synthesizing the voice message read from the AM; a voice recording unit for recording the voice synthesized voice message, recording a voice from a microphone, reproducing the voice according to a command from the switch, and outputting the voice to a speaker. And, if the voice message is received, storing the voice message in the RAM and immediately displaying the text or image indicating that the voice message was received.
And a control unit for controlling display on the LCD and controlling the whole.

[0007]

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, FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an operation at the time of an incoming call in this embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a table of an LCD when receiving a voice message in this embodiment. FIG. 7A is a diagram illustrating a display example of English characters, FIG. 7B is a diagram illustrating a display example of katakana, and FIG. 7C is a diagram illustrating a display example of an image.

In FIG. 1, a radio communication unit 2 for receiving and demodulating a call signal via an antenna 1, a notification unit 6 for generating a call notification sound, and a self-number (ID)
ROM4, which displays a predetermined character or image when a voice message is received, and displays a received message when a message other than a voice message is received, a voice message and a received message , A switch 7 for inputting a command to read the voice message and the received message stored in the RAM 10 from the RAM 10, a voice synthesizer 8 for voice synthesizing the voice message read from the RAM 10, and a voice synthesizer 8. The voice message from the microphone 12 is recorded and the switch 7
And a control unit 3 for controlling the entire radio selective calling receiver according to the present embodiment.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG.

The selective calling signal received by the antenna 1 is amplified and demodulated by the radio unit 2 and sent to the control unit 3 (S
1). The control unit 3 compares the signal from the wireless unit 2 with the ID previously written in the ROM 4 (S2), and if they match, the control unit 3 searches for a message following the calling signal (S3). If there is a message, the control unit 3 searches whether it is a voice message or a normal message (S
4) In the case of a voice message, for example, "V
OICE ONLY "(see FIG. 3) is displayed (S5),
Notifies that a voice message has been received. At the same time, the notification unit 6 is driven to perform a calling operation. The voice message after the call notification is stored in the RAM 10 under the control of the control unit 3 (S
8).

The stored voice message is read out as voice by a read operation by the switch 7 (S9, S1).
0, S11, S12). That is, when the reading operation is performed by the switch 7 (S10), if only a voice message is received (S11), the voice message is sent to the voice synthesizer 8, where the voice is synthesized. The synthesized voice is sent to the recording / reproducing unit 9 and reproduced, and the reproduced voice flows through the speaker 11 (S12).

When the user registers his / her own sentence for reading as a voice message, the user speaks the message from the microphone 12 and the recording / reproducing unit 9 records the message. As a result, the user can later listen to his / her own sentence as a voice through the speaker 11.

If no message is detected in step S3, only the tone is notified to the notification unit 6 (S3).
12).

If a normal message is received in S4 (S6), the received message is displayed on the LCD 5 (S7), and the notification unit 6 is driven to perform a calling operation.
After the call notification, the normal message is also stored in the RAM under the control of the control unit 3.
10 (S8). A read operation is performed by the switch 7 (S10), and when a normal message is read (S10).
11), the read message is displayed on the LCD 5 (S7).

[0016]

The present invention described above, according to the present invention, immediately the predetermined characters or images indicating the contents of that it has received a voice message without playback immediately voice a voice message when receiving a voice message Display / notification means for displaying and giving a call notification, storage means for storing voice messages, and voice synthesis after reading the voice messages stored in the storage means by inputting a read operation .
Voice synthesizing means, and a recording and reproducing means for recording the synthesized voice and reproducing the recorded voice, so that there is no fear that the voice message is known to a third party,
In addition, since the call operation is performed simultaneously with the message reception display, the user can recognize that the call has been made, and can see that the voice message has been received by distinguishing it from the reception of the ordinary message by looking at the display contents. There is.

Further, since the voice message is stored in the storage means and can be read out by a reading operation, the contents can be heard and confirmed later by voice in a place where no third party is present.

Further, by providing a voice input means for inputting a voice message of the user spoken by the carrying user to the recording / reproducing means, a voice message of the user's idea with respect to the received voice message is immediately recorded instead of the memory. There is an effect that can be.
