  • Publication number: 20030069746
    Abstract: A business card managing system that is available even to users whose portable terminals have little memory capacity, wherein when business cards are electrically exchanged between two persons, and thereafter, the data of either person is updated, the update is easily reflected on the business card. A business card managing server comprises a first database for managing all registered personal information and a second database composed of areas assigned to respective users. A portable terminal sends, via a network, a business card ID received through an external interface means to the business card managing server to register the business card ID in the second database. When receiving the business card ID from the portable terminal, the business card managing server sends personal information about a user, the personal information being managed in the first database and corresponding to the business card ID, back to the portable terminal via the network.

  • Publication number: 20020090972
    Abstract: Upon receipt of an incoming signal containing information regarding a caller's telephone number, whether a telephone number matching with the received telephone number is registered in the memory part 17 is determined. A baseband part 12 converts the caller's name which corresponds to the registered telephone number into voice information if the telephone number is among the registered numbers but converts the received telephone number into voice information if the telephone number is not among the registered numbers, the voice information is reported by an earphone/microphone 13, and the call is taken. If the telephone number information is not contained in the incoming signal, this fact is reported in a similar manner. Further, this informing operation is omitted and the call is taken directly if the earphone microswitch 22 is depressed.

  • Patent number: 6215414
    Abstract: A radio selective pager capable of preventing an erroneous synchronization with received signals of different transmission rates to avoid an erroneous switch operation from a power saving mode to a continuous receiving mode, improving power saving efficiency and prolonging life of an internal battery. A bit synchronizer synchronizes bits of demodulation data output from a receiver with an internal reference clock. A preamble detector detects a preamble of demodulation data output from the bit synchronizer, and a frame signal detector detects a frame synchronizing signal. When an address number of the demodulation data is coincident with an individual address number stored in an address comparator, a controller controls an indicator to indicate a selective paging to a user.

  • Patent number: 5828704
    Abstract: In a radio selective calling receiver, a receiving unit extracts a digital signal from a radio signal received through an antenna. A frame synchronization signal detector frame-synchronizes the digital signal output from the receiving unit and outputs a state signal representing a frame synchronization state as one of a pull-in state and a pull-out state. A timer resets a timer value to start a timer operation when the state signal from the synchronization signal detector represents a change from the pull-in state to the pull-out state, and stops the timer operation to output a timer value when the state signal from the synchronization signal detector represents a change from the pull-out state to the pull-in state. A first memory sequentially stores a plurality of timer values from the timer. A second memory stores a reference value calculated on the basis of an average value of the timer values stored in the first memory.

  • Patent number: 5739762
    Abstract: A radio selective calling receiver which can improve the precision of a timepiece up to the clock precision of a reception signal from a base station is provided. A bit synchronization section establishes bit synchronization of a digital signal from a reception section to output a reproduction clock. A frequency divider for a timepiece function frequency-divides a reference clock with insufficient precision, which is supplied from a reference clock generation section, by a fixed value while the digital signal is in a frame step-out state. While the digital signal is in a frame synchronized state, the frequency divider variably frequency-divides the reference clock by using a phase correction signal for correcting an internal phase advance/delay, which is output from the bit synchronization section, thereby correcting a gain/loss in time displayed on a display section.

  • Patent number: 5734686
    Abstract: A radio section demodulates a received signal. A bit pattern detector detects a predetermined bit pattern from the demodulated signal. A bit rate detector detects a period of a transition of one of leading and trailing edges and decides whether or not the period is within a predetermined range. A controller controls power supply to the radio section in response to both of the result at the detection of the bit rate and the bit pattern.

  • Patent number: 5526379
    Abstract: In the event that a radio pager falls into frame async while receiving information, an appropriate code search mode is desirably selected. Firstly, a controller of the pager checks to see if a bit sync indicating signal obtained from a bit synchronizer demonstrates bit sync. If the bit sync indicating signal indicates bit synchronization, the controller selects an operation mode for searching for synchronization code (SC). On the other hand, if the bit sync indicating signal indicates bit async, the controller selects a preamble code search mode. Accordingly, in the case where the pager becomes out of synchronism and immediately thereafter restores same during information acquisition, the pager is able to successfully obtain subsequent information by means of very simplified arrangement.

  • Patent number: 5453739
    Abstract: In a radio paging receiver having individual and common paging numbers and including a memory (20) which comprises a first part (20a) for memorizing individual messages, such as a directory number to be dialled by a user of the receiver, received by the use of the individual paging number and a second part (20b) for memorizing common messages, such as an exchange rate, received by the use of the common paging number, a first selecting section (41, 43) produces a first selection signal and a second selecting section (42, 43), a second selection signal. When supplied with the first selection signal, an accessing section (25, 26) reads the individual messages for supply to an LCD driver (22). The second selection signal is used in likewise accessing the second part. Accordingly, it is possible to read the individual and the common messages out of the first and the second memory parts as desired by using the first and the second selecting sections.
