A radio selective calling receiver comprising a receiving for receiving the radio calling signal containing sending user information that allows the receiving user to identify the sending user and assign a priority level to the sending user, a plurality of types of notifying for notifying the receiving user of the received radio calling signal in different manners, a time counting for setting up and counting the current time and date, an information storing for setting up and storing notification state information and time information through information inputting and information displaying for the receiving user, the notification state information representing a receiving operation and a notifying operation of the radio calling signal, the time information representing a valid date range and a valid time range of the receiving operation and the notifying operation, and a controlling for searching, collating, searching, comparing and controlling the notifying operations corresponding to the searched notification state information.

Radio selective calling receiver and portable telephone apparatus for efficiently managing received call

In a wireless apparatus, a receiving unit receives a wireless signal, extracts a call number and a reception data subsequent to the call number from the received signal. Also, the receiving unit generates a determination signal indicative of whether a message reception mode or an information reception mode is set for the call number. A data converting unit performs a data conversion to the reception data based on a data conversion format for the call number to produce a new data when the determination signal indicates the information reception mode. A control unit displays the new data on a display unit.

In a radio paging receiver for announcing, by the use of an announcing section (5) having a plurality of announcing modes, reception of a call generated by a particular sender, a memory section (8+9) memorizes, as memorized sender data, a plurality of sender data specifying a plurality of senders and memorizes, as memorized announcing mode data, a plurality of announcing mode data specifying the announcing modes of the announcing section in correspondence to the memorized sender data. Supplied with a radio signal carrying a particular sender datum specifying the particular sender, a processing section (1-4) processes the radio signal into the particular sender datum. Connected to the memory and the processing sections, a controlling section (7) controls the announcing section in response to the particular sender datum so that the announcing section announces the reception of the call in the announcing mode specified by a corresponding one of the memorized announcing mode data. The corresponding one of the memorized announcing mode data corresponds to the memorized sender datum which coincides with the particular sender datum. The controlling section controls the announcing section in response to the particular sender datum so that the announcing section does not announce the reception of the call in any of the announcing modes when none of the memorized sender data coincide with the particular sender datum.

A radio selective call receiver that alerts a user to reception of a call signal by mechanical vibration achieves miniaturization and reduction in thickness by using a sounding body as a reception informing means. The sounding body is selected among reception informing means by a switch. The sounding body generates a non-audio frequency, thus preventing the mechanical vibration from producing an undesired sound. The bottom of the receiver is adapted to be in close contact with a human body wearing the receiver. When a call signal is received, the sounding body oscillates at the non-audio frequency, the sound wave passes through slits to cause vibration, and the user carrying the receiver is alerted tactilely that a call signal is being received.

Connecting terminals which may be connected to terminals of an external device are disposed in a housing of a radio unit at a predetermined distance from the outer surface of the housing. The housing is provided with openings in a part thereof in alignment with the connecting terminals so that the terminals of the external device are connectable to the connecting terminals through the openings. Preferably, the openings of the housing are filled with a non-conductive material.
