  • Patent number: 7333817
    Abstract: A CPU in a cellular phone counts the number of calling times in each area in which the cellular phone resides, and stores the number of calling times for each area. The telephone numbers stored in the telephone directory file are affixed by priority orders based on the number of calling times for the area to which the telephone codes of the telephone numbers correspond. When the user wishes to display the telephone numbers on the screen of a display unit, the CPU arranges the telephone numbers in the order of the priority orders on the screen.

  • Patent number: 6069568
    Abstract: A multi-address radio display pager includes a display unit, a memory and at least one manually operated key for receiving a paging signal containing one of multiple calling addresses and a message which is classified as one of data groups according to the calling addresses, the message being accompanied with a set of ancillary data items. A controller is responsive to the operation of a menu key for providing a display of the data groups to allow each one of the displayed data groups to be selected by a user and providing a display of the ancillary data items of the selected data group instead of the data groups to allow each one of the displayed ancillary dam items to be selected by the user and a display of ON/OFF indications of the selected ancillary data item to allow the user to determine an ON/OFF state for each of the selected ancillary data items. The determined ON/Off state of each selected ancillary data item is stored into the memory corresponding to the selected data group.

  • Patent number: 6011955
    Abstract: A radio selective call receiver includes a synchronous data detector for detecting synchronous data for each unit of a series of a predetermined number of data formed by dividing the transmitted signal into a plurality of parts. A time counter performs time setting and produces time information. A time information comparator compares the synchronous data from the synchronous data detector with the time information from the time counter to calculate an error, and the time counter is corrected on the basis of the error output of the time information comparator. A display displays a time correction interval menu comprising a plurality of different time intervals, and switches enable the selection of a specific time interval, after the expiration of which the time information of the time counter is corrected on a regular basis. This arrangement enables a selection of one of the plurality of different time intervals, to change the time interval after which the time information of the time counter is corrected.

  • Patent number: 5929775
    Abstract: A radio paging receiver capable of giving an intense impact to a user so as to stimulate the user to exchange a cell and to prevent a negligence of the cell exchange and preventing an inoperative receiving due to a source voltage drop and a cleared state of a backup device for received information. A low voltage detector monitors a source voltage Va of the cell, and, when the source voltage Va falls below a reference voltage, the low voltage detector outputs a low voltage detection signal to a logic. The logic starts a countdown of a predetermined time from the time when the low voltage detection signal is detected. The logic then controls an informing part to inform of an alarm and a display means to display the countdown of the remaining time thereon up to a power off. Further, the logic compulsorily cuts the power when the predetermined time has passed.

  • Patent number: 5847657
    Abstract: A radio selective calling receiver has a function of determining, when synchronization is established by a frame synchronization signal received from a radio base station, that the radio selective calling receiver is within a coverage zone of the radio base station, and determining, when the frame synchronization signal is not received within a predetermined time period after a step-out state is set, that the radio selective calling receiver is outside the coverage zone of the radio base station. The receiver includes a timer and a notification device. The timer starts to count when the step-out state is set and counts a time until the frame synchronization signal is received. The notification device notifies a count value when the frame synchronization signal is received after the lapse of the predetermined time period set in the timer.

  • Patent number: 5821738
    Abstract: A receiver of a selective calling receiver contains a single DC/DC converter selectively outputting either voltage V1 or voltage V2, V2 being greater than V1. The DC/DC converter outputs the first operation-supporting voltage V1 in standby mode and the second operation-supporting voltage V2 when the received signal is stored or read into or from a RAM.

  • Patent number: 5548271
    Abstract: In a data display radio pager, light emitting diodes (LEDs) for alerting the user of the pager to an incoming call are disposed in a backlight together with LEDs for backlighting a liquid crystal display (LCD) for message display. The alert LEDs effect an alert via the LCD and flash in a striking color different from the color of light to issue from the backlight LEDs. The radio pager is miniature despite that the LCD and alert LEDs are arranged on the front of the casing of the pager.
