ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a radio paging receiver, and more particularly to a radio paging receiver with data management functions to control the calling operation of received message.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Some conventional radio paging receivers have a function that a received message is displayed or notified only when a specific password is included in the message. For example, such a radio paging receiver is disclosed in Japanese patent application laid-open No.6-152499(1994) an titled “Radio Paging Receiver with Display”.
This radio paging receiver is provided with a notification limiting means for notifying only when a predetermined specific password is included in the message. It is further provided with a time setting means which makes the notification limiting means effective at first predetermined time and makes the notification limiting means ineffective at a second predetermined time and a notifying means which notifies a notification-limited message at the second predetermined time.
In the conventional radio paging receiver, a password is previously stored in the radio paging receiver by the user, and, when a message is received during the notification control period using a password, letters included in the message are collated with the password stored in the radio paging receiver. When they are not identical with each other, the notifying operation is limited.
Meanwhile, a user may desire that the notifying operation is limited to conduct only for specific callers even when the notification control is conducted using the password. However, in the conventional radio paging receiver, such a further limitation operation is complicated and difficult to conduct.
On the other hand, the user of the radio paging receiver may change the password since the password can be freely set by the user. Unfortunately, when the message sender (caller) does not known the changed password, the message cannot be transmitted without delay.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object o the invention to provide a radio paging receiver that the notifying operation can be easily limited to conduct only for specific callers even when the notification control is conducted using the password.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a radio paging receiver where a caller's message can be received and notified to a user without delay even when when the caller does not known the password.
According to the invention, provided is a radio paging receiver using a caller's telephone number as a password, conducting the calling control setting operation by using the password, conducting the normal calling operation by notification sound, light emission of an light-emitting element and displaying of a received message when a telephone number included in the received message coincides with the caller's telephone number as password to be stored in advance in its telephone directory function part, and prohibiting the notification sound when the telephone numbers included in the received message does not coincide with the caller's telephone number.
According to another aspect of the invention, a radio paging receiver, comprises:
means for radio-receiving a message;
means for storing in advance a paging number and a caller's telephone number used as a password;
means for displaying the message;
means for conducting an notification to call its user;
means for registering data; and
a controller for conducting the calling control setting operation by using the caller's telephone number as password, conducting the calling operation by the displaying means and the notifying means when the password included in the message received by the radio-receiving means coincides with the caller's telephone number stored in the storing means, and conducting the calling operation while prohibiting only the notification of the notifying means when the password included in the message received by the radio-receiving means does not coincide with the caller's telephone number stored in the storing means.
