Paging apparatus equipped with a clock function
First Claim
1. A paging apparatus, comprising:
- time information generating means for measuring time and outputting measured first time information;
a combination switch having at least first, second and third switch positions;
mode setting means for setting a time setting mode when a first operation for setting said combination switch at said first switch position and then changing said combination switch to said third switch position is performed;
paging means for receiving a paging signal and informing a user of a call being made when an identification code included in said paging signal corresponds to the apparatus;
time-setting control means for replacing said first time information from said time information generating means with second time information input by a second operation when a second operation is performed while said time setting mode is set by said mode setting means, said second operation being a combination of a switching operation between said first and second switch positions of said combination switch and a switching operation to said third switch position; and
time display means for displaying a predetermined time pattern for entering said second time information when said time setting mode is set.

Abstract
A paging apparatus with a time information generating circuit comprises a combination switch having multiple switch positions in different operation directions, so that a time setting mode is set when a predetermined first operation is performed by the combination switch, and a paging mode is set other operations are performed. When a predetermined second operation is performed with the time setting mode set, time information measured by the time information generating circuit is replaced with time information input by the second operation. Even in the time setting mode, it is checked if a call is made to the apparatus. When there is such a call, a user is informed of this event without ignoring the occurrence of the call.

12. A paging apparatus, comprising:
-
time information generating means for measuring time and outputting measured first time information; operation input means; mode setting means for setting a time setting mode when a predetermined first operation is performed by said operation input means, and for setting a paging mode when other operations are performed; first paging means for receiving a paging signal with said paging mode being set by said mode setting means, and informing a user of a call being made when an identification code included in said paging signal corresponds to the apparatus; time-setting control means for replacing said first time information from said time information generating means with second time information input by a predetermined second operation when said second operation is performed by said operation input means while said time setting mode is set by said mode setting means; and second paging means which receives said paging signal in said time setting mode, wherein when said identification code included in said received paging signal corresponds to the apparatus, said second paging means controls said time-setting control means to interrupt said time setting control and informs said user of said call being made, as well as stores a time setting progress until after the interruption and then returns control of time setting control to said time-setting control means in accordance with storage contents representing time setting progress prior to the interruption.

13. A paging apparatus comprising:
-
time information generating means for measuring time and outputting measured first time information; operation input means; mode setting means for setting a time setting mode when a predetermined first operation is performed by said operation input means, and for setting a paging mode when other operations are performed; first paging means for receiving a paging signal with said paging mode being set by said mode setting means, and informing a user of a call being made when an identification code included in said paging signal corresponds to the apparatus; time-setting control means for replacing said first time information from said time information generating means with second time information input by a predetermined second operation when said second operation is performed by said operation input means while said time setting mode is set by said mode setting means; second paging means for receiving said paging signal, with said time setting mode being set by said mode setting means, and, when an identification code included in said paging signal corresponds to the apparatus, said second paging means preliminarily informs a user of a call and stores information indicating the call while said time-setting control means is executing time setting control; and third paging means for formally informing the user of the call after the time setting control by said time-setting control means is completed, said third paging means formally informing the user of the call in the case where the second paging means stores the information indicating the call. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. A paging apparatus comprising:
-
time information generating means for measuring time and outputting measured first time information; a combination switch having at least first, second and third switch positions; mode setting means for setting a time setting mode when a first operation is performed, said first operation being a combination of a switching operation between the first switch position and the second switch position and a switching operation between one of the first and second switch positions and the third switch positions; paging means for receiving a paging signal and informing a user of a call being made when an identification code included in said paging signal corresponds to the apparatus; time-setting control means for replacing said first time information from said time information generating means with second time information input by a second operation which is a switching operation between one of the first or second switch positions and the third switch position, said first time information being replaced with the second time information when said second operation is executed in the state where said time setting mode is set by said mode setting means; and time display means for displaying a predetermined time pattern for entering said second time information when said time setting mode is set. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
