The process moves to step S21 for sending a (see the fourth embodiment).

As described above, according to each of the above-described embodiments, the following effects can be obtained. The first effect is
It is possible to display in a language according to the country or region without having to reset the display language. The reason is that multilingual fixed phrases in a plurality of languages are stored and a multilingual fixed phrase to be displayed is selected according to the area information 22a included in the received system information unit 22. A second effect is that basic fixed-form sentences can be displayed in multiple languages even without a large-capacity ROM that stores various font codes for displaying in multiple languages. The third effect is
It is often stored when a user wants to change the language of the fixed phrase corresponding to the received regional information 22a, for example, when the fixed type sentence is displayed in Spanish according to the regional information 22a, but it is easier to read Japanese because it is easier to read. It is possible to realize the convenience that the user can easily change the display character by selecting from the language fixed form sentence. A fourth effect is that if a large-capacity ROM that stores font codes is provided as needed, it is easy to arbitrarily set a multilingual standard sentence to be displayed. The fifth effect is that display fonts other than fixed text are fixed, so messages sent in character fonts that the receiver does not have can not be displayed normally.
By adding the display alarm, the user can easily determine whether the display is due to an error at the time of reception or the display due to a difference in character font. A sixth effect is that the received message can be read out in a normal display font by reading the received message information from the memory unit 5 to an external device and adding a means for matching the character fonts. Is.

Finally, the technical difference between the present embodiment and the prior art will be described. First, a feature of the present invention is that it has a fixed sentence storage unit 7 for storing multilingual fixed phrases in a plurality of languages and a selection unit 6 for selecting a corresponding language fixed sentence from the received area information 22a. A normal message signal is displayed in a language selected in advance, which is the same as in the related art. However, from the area information 22a included in the transmitted system information section 22, the fixed text included in the message information is included in the area information 22a. It is characterized by a configuration that enables selection and display of a language according to. This has an effect that a fixed text font can be automatically selected according to the area information 22a, and the received fixed text message can be changed to a fixed text display in a language that the user can easily read. Also, because the display is limited to multiple languages, a message with a language font that the receiver does not have can be distinguished from a reception error by adding a function to add a reception alarm due to a font difference. Has the effect of becoming.

On the other hand, in the first prior art described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-163617, there is described a technique of storing each language font information and reading and displaying the font information corresponding to the received message signal. However, the prior art does not describe a technique for selecting and displaying a corresponding language fixed phrase from the received regional information 22a as in the present invention, and it is considered that the configuration and effect are different from those of the present invention. .

Further, as another conventional technique, for example, there is one described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-256368 (second prior art). That is, the second prior art described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-256368 has a plurality of language tables corresponding to a plurality of languages, and switches the plurality of language tables to display guidance in a plurality of languages. The present invention aims to provide a radio paging receiver and a control method thereof which can be used by foreigners other than the above and improve the convenience of the paging receiver, and a display section for displaying guidance and a guidance. In a radio paging receiver having a language table for storing in a specific language and a control unit for reading guidance from the language table for displaying guidance and outputting the guidance on the display unit, a plurality of language tables are provided corresponding to a plurality of languages. The setting switch that switches the guidance language setting and the connection relationship between the control unit and the language table are set by the setting switch. A radio paging receiver with a switching means for switching. According to such a radio paging receiver, the radio paging receiver has a plurality of language tables corresponding to a plurality of languages, and the connection relation between the language table and the control unit is switched using the switching means by operating the setting switch. Also, since the control method is used, the guidance can be displayed in a plurality of languages, it can be used by foreigners, and the convenience of the radio paging receiver can be improved. Furthermore, in the second prior art,
This document describes a technology that has a multi-language table for guidance when setting the function of the receiver and switches the display language of the guidance by operating a switch. However, the second conventional technique does not describe a technique for selecting and displaying a corresponding language fixed phrase from the received regional information 22a as in the present invention, and it is thought that the configuration and effect are different from those of the present invention. To be done.

As another conventional technique, for example, there is one described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-67184 (third prior art). That is, the third prior art described in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 7-67184 is a multilingual paging device that transmits information including a plurality of languages to a plurality of paging receivers, and represents a plurality of symbols and a language of the symbols. Means for inputting information including at least one data message having a plurality of languages of control signals for encoding the plurality of symbols and control signals into a message format suitable for transmitting the information to a plurality of paging receivers. Information, means for transmitting information to at least one of the plurality of paging receivers, information for recovering a plurality of symbol signals corresponding to the transmitted linguistic symbol and a control signal representative of the language of the symbol signal. In a paging receiver, means for selecting a predetermined set of symbols according to the recovered control signal, and a predetermined set Means for selecting a symbol corresponding to the symbol signal from the symbols, means for converting each of the symbol signals into a corresponding symbol according to the recovered control signal, and a plurality of linguistic symbol regions comprising a plurality of displayable symbols.

Alternate languages include English, French,
A multilingual paging device including a second alphabet language different from the first alphabet language, such as Spanish. Furthermore, the third prior art describes a technique of reading out and displaying a language font corresponding to a received message from a font stored in a multilingual font storage unit provided in a receiver. However,
Only one font is stored for each word, which requires a large amount of memory. On the other hand, the present invention is characterized in that it has a multilingual font table for each fixed sentence, not one word, and does not require a large-capacity memory for storing fonts. It is thought that technology and composition / effects are different.

As described above, a storage unit for displaying only fixed phrases in multiple languages, a selecting unit 6 for selecting in accordance with the received regional information 22a for the multiple languages display, and an alarm display indicating that the font is different are added. It is considered that the configuration and the effect are different from those of the first to third prior arts in that they have the function of performing.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and it is apparent that the respective embodiments can be appropriately modified within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. Further, the number, positions, shapes, etc. of the above-mentioned constituent members are not limited to those in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the number, positions, shapes, etc. suitable for carrying out the present invention can be adopted. Moreover, in each figure, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. First, the first effect is that it is possible to display in a language according to a country or region without having to reset the display language. The reason is to store multilingual fixed phrases in a plurality of languages and select the multilingual fixed phrases to be displayed according to the area information included in the received system information. A second effect is that basic fixed-form sentences can be displayed in multiple languages even without a large-capacity ROM that stores various font codes for displaying in multiple languages. The third effect is that when the user wants to change the language of the standard sentence according to the received regional information, for example, the Spanish standard sentence is displayed according to the regional information, but the user wants to change it because Japanese is easier to read. That is, it is possible to realize the convenience that the user can easily change the display character by selecting from the stored multi-language fixed sentence. A fourth effect is that if a large-capacity ROM that stores font codes is provided as needed, it is easy to arbitrarily set a multilingual standard sentence to be displayed. The fifth effect is that display fonts other than fixed text are fixed, so messages sent in character fonts that the receiver does not have cannot be displayed normally. However, adding a display alarm causes an error during reception. It is possible for the user to easily determine whether to display or to display due to the difference in character font. A sixth effect is that it is possible to read the received message with a normal display font by reading the received message information from the memory unit holding it to an external device and adding a means for matching the character fonts. is there.
