2. Description of the Related Art Currently, a so-called pager or pager is used as a method of contacting a person who is far away from a telephone. In recent years, so-called cordless telephones have been realized in home telephones, but at present it is not possible to freely use the home telephone to make calls from any location outdoors. It should be noted that so-called car telephones have a different system from home telephones and are therefore different from the technical field of the present invention. In order to solve these problems, there are plans for a second-generation cordless phone that can be used to freely make calls from any location outdoors while the cordless phone is stationary. It is progressing. It is generally considered that mobile stations dedicated to outgoing calls, ie, telephones, such as second-generation cordless telephones, can be used in combination with the above-mentioned pager or the like to make calls and compensate for incoming calls. That is, the user has both the second generation cordless telephone and a pager, and the pager signal source urges the user to contact the user using the pager,
One possible usage method is for the user to contact the above-mentioned caller using his or her second generation cordless telephone.

However, as described above, when a pager or the like is simply used in combination with a second generation cordless telephone, the following problems arise. That is, a. Since a pager simply makes a call, the user who has been paged must, for example, call the source of the pager's signal, confirm the request, and then call the final contact number again. be. stomach.
If the user leaves the pager, the pager must call the user multiple times until the user is contacted. cormorant. Since a pager simply makes a call, the user who is called cannot distinguish whether the matter is urgent or ordinary. There is a problem. In addition, when used in conjunction with a pager, the above-mentioned problems A and C will be resolved, but the above users will have to call the contact while looking at the content displayed on the pager, resulting in dialing errors. The problem is that there is a possibility that The present invention was made to solve these problems, and allows you to call the final contact number directly.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a second generation cordless telephone that allows users to confirm that a call has been made even if they do not carry the telephone with them at all times, to confirm whether the call is urgent or not, and to eliminate outgoing dialing errors. do.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a pager section having a pager function, a control code discriminating section for discriminating a control code included in the pager contents decoded by the pager section, and a control code discriminating section for discriminating a control code included in the pager contents decoded by the pager section; The device has a storage section that stores the pager contents in a region, a transmission section that converts the pager contents read from the storage section into a calling number and makes a call, a call request section that prompts the user to make a call, and operation keys. The present invention is characterized by comprising a control section that controls the operation of each of the above-mentioned constituent parts.

[0005]

[Operation] With this configuration, for example, when a paging caller sends telephone number information of a contact requested to be contacted, a control code indicating that the transmitted information is a telephone number can be added to the outgoing signal. The control code discriminator recognizes that the content of the supplied information is telephone number information, and the storage section stores this telephone number information in a predetermined storage section. The transmitter reads out the stored telephone number information, directly converts the telephone number information into a calling number, and performs a calling operation. In this way, each of the above components functions so that the user using this telephone can make a direct call to the above contact information without first contacting the paging caller, and furthermore, when making a call, There is no need for the user to perform a dialing operation by himself, and it is possible to prevent outgoing dialing errors. or,
When a call is received, the call request section lights up an indicator light so that the user can confirm the fact, and also attaches a control code to the received signal to indicate that an emergency call is required. If there is, for example, an alert sound is emitted to notify the user that there is an incoming call or that the incoming call information is urgent.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS This example, which is an embodiment of the second generation cordless telephone of the present invention, has a configuration in which a pager is added to the second generation cordless telephone. In FIG. 1, a pager 1 that receives a signal including paging information such as a telephone number and a message transmitted from a caller and received by a built-in antenna 13 is connected to a control code determination section 2. In this embodiment, the paging information sent from the sender is composed of broadcast information such as a telephone number and a control code representing the type of the broadcast information, as shown in FIG. The type of control code in the paging information supplied from 1 is determined. The relationship between a control code and the broadcast information to which the control code is attached is, for example, as shown below.

[0007] When expressed in decimal notation, the content of broadcast information with a control code of "00" indicates a normal message;
The content of the notification information with the control code ``1'' indicates only the telephone number, the content of the notification information with the control code ``02'' indicates only the alarm time, and the content of the notification information with the control code ``03'' indicates only the telephone number. The content of the broadcast information with the control code "04" indicates a normal message and a telephone number, and the content of the broadcast information with a control code of "04" indicates a normal message and alarm time. The content of notification information with a code is a telephone number and alarm time, and the content of notification information with a control code of "06" is a normal message, phone number, and alarm time. Of course, the number of control codes is not limited to the above, and the broadcast information is not limited to the above.

The output side of the control code determination section 2 includes a message storage section 3 for storing the above-mentioned normal messages, a telephone number/time storage section 4 for storing telephone numbers and times, and a control code determining section 2 for controlling the operation of each component of the telephone. A central processing unit (C
(denoted as PU) 5, and a time coincidence determination unit 7. The output side of the CPU 5 is also connected to the time coincidence determination section 7, and the time coincidence determination section 7 compares the time and CP supplied as notification information.
Determine if it matches the current time sent by U5. The output side of the time coincidence determination section 7 includes an alarm notification light 8 and a speaker 9.

A key operation section 6 such as a switch for making a call is connected to the CPU 5, and the output side of the CPU 5 is connected to a display section 12 for visually displaying, for example, the above-mentioned normal message received and stored. be done.

The output side of the telephone number/time storage section 4 is connected to a dial sending section 10 that automatically makes a call operation according to the supplied telephone number information, and the output side of the dial sending section 10 receives a wireless signal from an antenna 14. It is connected to a high frequency/baseband section 11 that transmits external signals.

The operation of the second generation cordless telephone configured as described above will be explained below. A caller who sends information to the pager 1 provided in the telephone sets the paging information by adding a control code as described above depending on the type of information to be sent. The transmitted paging information is supplied to the pager 1 via the antenna 13, the pager 1 demodulates the signal related to the paging information, and the demodulated signal is sent to the control code determining section 2. The control code determination unit 2 determines the control code included in the paging information, and stores the notification content in the paging information in the message storage unit 3 or the telephone number/time storage unit 4 according to the determined control code. According to the above example, the control code added to the paging information is, for example, 01.
If so, the telephone number information that is the notification content is stored in the telephone number/time storage unit 4 together with the time when the pager 1 received the paging information. At this time, in order to notify the owner of the telephone of the incoming call, the CPU 5 causes the time coincidence determination unit 7 to turn on the alarm indicator light 8 or cause the speaker 9 to produce sound effects, voices, etc. .

[0012] Furthermore, if the notification content includes an alarm time, the alarm time information is determined by the time coincidence determination section 7.
and stored in the determination unit 7. The time coincidence determination unit 7 sends a signal to the CPU 5 when the time information supplied from the CPU 5 matches the stored alarm time information, and in response to the signal, the CPU 5 turns on the alarm indicator light 8 or emits a sound effect from the speaker 9. , generates a sound, etc., and notifies the owner of the phone of this fact. In addition, by setting a specific numerical value as alarm time information, it is possible to indicate that the content of the notification is urgent.In this way, in the case of an emergency, the CPU 5 controls, for example, how to turn on an alarm indicator light. and the sound generated, etc., to notify the holder that the received information requires urgent contact.

[0013] Furthermore, by operating the key operation unit 6, the owner of the telephone can display information stored in the message storage unit 3 or the telephone number/time storage unit 4 on the display unit 12 under the control of the CPU 5. , you can also check its contents. Therefore, even if the holder is not in possession of the telephone at the time of the incoming call, the incoming call can be recognized by the illumination of the alarm indicator light 8 as described above, and the content of the call can be displayed on the display unit 12, so that the user can receive the call after the incoming call is received. You can also check its contents.

[0014] Furthermore, by operating the key operation section 6, the owner of this telephone can directly send the telephone number of the transmitted contact stored in the telephone number/time storage section 4 to the dial sending section 10. Automatic transmission can be performed via the high frequency/baseband section 11. Therefore, when making a call to a contact, there is no need for a person to perform a dialing operation, thereby eliminating the possibility of dialing errors.

As described above, according to the present second generation cordless telephone, the contact telephone number etc. can be determined by receiving a call.
There is no need to call the contact again after hearing the matter, and a prompt response becomes possible. Furthermore, since the information on incoming calls can be stored, the information can be checked after receiving a call even if the user does not always carry a telephone. Further, since it is possible to make a direct dial call using the stored telephone number, it is possible to eliminate dial errors when dialing. Furthermore, since the paging caller can add an alarm time to the information to be sent, the paging caller can provide information in advance to encourage calling later. This is convenient, for example, when the owner does not have the telephone or when a paging call is made to the owner of the telephone late at night.

[0016] In the above-mentioned embodiment, a case has been described in which the second generation cordless telephone is provided with a pager, but the second generation cordless telephone may also be provided with a pager. However, in this case, since the pager only performs the calling operation, the message storage section 3, telephone number/time storage section 4, and dial sending section 10 are unnecessary, and the above-mentioned storage of the transmitted information and associated operations are not required. It cannot be done.

[0017]

Effects of the Invention As detailed above, according to the present invention, the storage section stores the paging contents sent by the paging caller, so that the user using this telephone can once contact the paging caller. The user can directly call the contact number without making contact, and when making a call, there is no need for the user to perform a dialing operation by himself, so there is no possibility of making a dialing error. In addition, the transmission request department is
When there is an incoming call, for example, an indicator light is turned on so that the user can confirm the fact, and if a control code indicating that an emergency call is required is attached, for example, a warning sound is emitted. By performing such operations, it is possible to notify the user that there is an incoming call or that the incoming call information is urgent.
