Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to selective radio call receivers such as pagers, and more specifically to a pager wherein a second alert mode is prompted due to lack of response by the user to a first alert mode.
  • Selective call radio receivers such as pagers are used in many applications to alert a user of a message. Such devices generally incorporate a radio receiver capable of producing an audible alerting signal which may be heard by the user. Another type provides the additional feature of a voice message following the audible alert. Yet another type provides a selectable audible alert or a silent (vibrating) alert. These devices are known as tone only, tone /voice, and tone /silent alert pagers. The tone only and tone /silent alert pagers may additionally have a visual display for the message.
  • the user is alerted of the incoming message according to the mode the user has selected for the pager. If the user has selected the silent (vibrating) mode for the pager, the user must be wearing the pager to receive proper tactile feedback during the vibrate alert of a new incoming message. If the user is not alerted of the incoming message, receipt of the message will be delayed until a later time when the user interrogates the pager. Or the message may be lost by another later message being "written" over the previous message in which the user was not alerted. If the user has selected the tone mode for the pager, the user must be able to hear the audible signal during the alert of the incoming signal.
  • a call light is often used in lieu of an alerting signal, or alternatively, in conjunction with the alert tone but remains on, or in a periodically flashing state, until the user discontinues it. Utilization of this feature requires that the paging device be in plain view of the user and that it be consciously checked by the user. This may not be a convenient operation with the paging device inside an article of clothing or on the waist. Furthermore, the high current drain of the alert light, which often flashes once a second, is not consistent with goals for maximizing the battery life.
  • a selective call radio receiver wherein a second alert mode is provided due to lack of response by the user to a first alert mode.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a selective call radio receiver wherein a second alert mode is provided due to lack of response by the user to a first alert mode.
  • a method of alerting a user of a selective call radio receiver of incoming signals to the selective call radio receiver comprising the steps of identifying a specifically coded signal, alerting the user of the reception of the specifically coded signal by a first alert mode when the first alert mode is selected tar by a second alert mode when the second alert mode is selected, and alerting the user of the reception of the specifically coded signal by the non-selected alert mode when the user has not acknowledged receipt of the alert provided by the selected alert mode within a predetermined period of time.
  • Another embodiment comprises these steps when a message is received that is a duplicate to one previously received that hasTr ⁇ t been acknowledged by the ⁇ se ⁇ otherwise, only a selected one of the alert modes provides an alert.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a pager incorporating the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the steps the pager follows in accordance with the present invention.
  • a selective call radio receiver e.g., a pager
  • an antenna 11- that provides an RF carrier signal that is mixed with a local oscillator signal and an injection signal in the receiver module 12 for generating a lower frequency IF signal suitable for processing by the demodulator 13 in a manner well known to one skilled in the art.
  • the demodulator 13 converts the IF signal to the address, optional message data, and if the pager includes an optional voice output, the recovered audio components of the original signal received by the antenna 11.
  • the recovered message or voice output is stored in the RAM 14 for subsequent "playback" by display module 21 or speaker 15 through audio circuit 16 upon manual selection by the user of the voice activation switch 17, respectively.
  • the microcomputer 18 decodes the address data in a known fashion and compares the results with predetermined addresses contained in the EEPROM 19, and when substantially similar, alerts the user that a signal has been received An optional display module 21 will automatically, or when manually selected, display the message.
  • the microcomputer 18 provides a signal to the linear support circuit 22 for driving either the audio drive circuit 16 for providing an audible alert at the audio alert apparatus 15, or the silent drive circuit 23 for driving a silent alert apparatus 24 such as a vibrating motor.
  • the linear support module 22 includes peripheral devices such as a DC- DC converter and a timer to support the operations of the microcomputer 18 in a manner well known to those of ordinary skill in the art
  • the microcomputer 18 uses a clock signal from clock 25 for controlling its internal operations as well as its interface with other elements of the pager.
  • a mode selection switch 26 allows for the manual selection by the user of either the audible alert mode or the silent alert mode.
  • step 32 When the pager is initially powered on or is in a standby state, it is in a PAGER ON & SEARCH mode 31 awaitingreceipt of signals at the antenna 11.
  • step 32 Upon receipt of a message coded for that particular pager, step 32, the search is discontinued, step 33. If a duplication mode is selected, step 34, the incoming signal received at the antenna 11 is a duplicate of a previously received message that is stored in the RAM 14 as determined by the microcomputer 18 (that has not been read by the user), step 35, and if the audible alert mode is selected, step 36, an audible alert is given, step 37.
  • step 38 After a time delay, step 38, and if the user has not acknowledged the pager alert, step 39, by manually pushing a button for example, the pager-will give a silent alert, step 40. If the user acknowledges the audible alert, step 39, within the defined time delay, step 38, the pager will return to the search mode, step 31, to await another signal.
  • the time delay may be set with the "code plug" at the manufacturing facility or by the user by direct input to the selective call radio receiver. If the user has not selected the audible alert mode, step 36, a silent alert will be given, step 41.
  • step 42 After a time delay, step 42, and if the user has not acknowledged the pager alert, step 43, by manually pushing a button for example, the pager will give an audible alert, step 44. If the user acknowledges the silent alert, step 41, within the defined time delay, step 42, the pager will return to the search mode, step 31, to await another signal. If the duplication mode is not selected, step 34, the procedure jumps to step 36. If the message is not a duplicate of one already in RAM 14, step 35, and if the audible alert mode is selected, step 45, then an audible alert is given, step 46. If the audible alert mode is not selected, then a silent alert is given.
  • the selection of the duplication mode, step 34, and the audible alert mode, steps 36 and 45 may be programmed with the "code plug" at the manufacturing facilities or by direct input to the selective call radio receiver by the user.
