[0027] FIG. 1 is a flow diagram of a radio squelch control system.

[0028] FIG. 2 is a block diagram for the processor, memory, and monitor.

[0029] The parts illustrated in figures are individually assigned a reference numeral and the corresponding terms of these numbers are listed below. [0030] 1. Radio squelch control system [0031] 2. Channel [0032] 3. Operation Mode [0033] 4. Squelch Setting [0034] 5. Memory [0035] 6. Processor [0036] 7. Squelch Array [0037] 8. Monitor [0038] 9. Button

[0039] The radio squelch control system (1) comprises at least one channel (2) in the radio, an operation mode (3) enabling data to be transmitted through the channel (2) by means of radio signals, a squelch setting (4) that cuts off signals at a level below a manufacturer-predetermined threshold in the channel (2) when it is switched on and transmits all signals in the channel (2) when it is switched off, a memory (5) that stores the squelch setting (4) for each channel (2), and a processor (6) that processes the data in the memory (5) and applies the squelch setting (4) to the signals transmitted over the channel (2).

[0040] The radio squelch control system (1) of the invention comprises a processor (6) that detects the operation mode (3) of the channel (2) and enables the most repeated squelch setting (4) in the memory (5) for the detected operation mode (3) to be automatically assigned, and enables the squelch setting (4) to be matched with the operation mode (3) and stored in the memory (5) (FIG. 1, FIG. 2).

[0041] The channel (2) set by the user or saved on the radios comprises an operation mode (3) that enables the channel (2) to transmit radio signals by anyone of the AM, FM or HQ modes. When the squelch setting (4) is ON, the signals transmitted through the channel (2) below a user-defined decibel level are reduced or muted, and when the squelch setting (4) is OFF, all the signals transmitted through the channel (2) pass through. The squelch setting (4) is stored in the memory (5) for the channels (2) and when the channel (2) is used, the processor (6) applies the squelch setting (4) to the channel (2).

[0042] The operation mode (3) that is possessed by the channel (2) or assigned to the channel (2) is detected by the processor, and according to the detected operation mode (3), the most repeated squelch setting (4) in the memory (5) is applied to the channel (2). The squelch setting (4) automatically assigned by the processor (6) to the channel (2) according to the operation mode (3), and the operation mode (3) information are stored in the memory (5). Thus, the number of samples in the memory (5) for the processor (6) to make the next automatic squelch setting (4) selection increases. With the increase in the number of samples, the accuracy of the next automatic squelch setting (4) assignment increases.

[0043] In an embodiment of the invention, the radio squelch control system (1) comprises a processor (6) that matches the operation mode (3) of the channel (2) and the squelch setting (4) selected by the user and stores it in the memory (5) when the squelch setting (4) for the channel (2) is entered manually by the user. The squelch setting (4) of the channel (2) can be selected manually by the user or the current squelch setting (4) of the channel (2) can be changed by the user. The squelch setting (4) selected by the user and operation mode (3) for the channel (2) are matched and stored in the memory (5). When the current squelch setting (4) for the channel (2) is changed by the user, the previous squelch setting (4) and the operation mode (3) match are deleted from the memory (5) and the squelch setting (4) selected by the user and operation mode (3) match is stored in the memory (5). Thus, in cases where the squelch setting (4) is automatically made, data is stored in the memory (5) for use in the automatic decision making of the radio squelch control system (1).

[0044] In an embodiment of the invention, the radio squelch control system (1) comprises a processor (6) that executes an artificial intelligence algorithm that matches the information on the squelch setting (4) made by the user or automatically assigned to the channel (2) with the information on the operation mode (3) of the channel (2) and stores it in the memory (5) so as to create a squelch array (7), detects the operation mode (3) for the channel (2) and enables the squelch setting (4) that is most repeated in the squelch array (7) for the detected operation mode (3) to be assigned to the channel (2), matches the squelch setting (4) with the operation mode (3) and enables it to be stored in the squelch array (7). When the radio is first switched on, the processor (6) that is configured to process the artificial intelligence algorithm assigns a squelch setting (4) to the channel (2), the latter being a manually-selected channel (2) or a channel (2) that is stored in the radio, but has not been used before. The operation mode (3) is detected by the processor (6) that executes the artificial intelligence algorithm for the manually-selected channel (2) or for the channel stored in the radio, but has not been used before. For the detected operation mode (3), the most repeated squelch setting (4) in the squelch array (7) is assigned to the channel (2) by the processor (6) executing the artificial intelligence algorithm. This squelch setting (4) assigned by the processor (6) executing the artificial intelligence algorithm and the operation mode (3) of the channel (2) are matched by the processor (6) executing the artificial intelligence algorithm and stored in the memory (5) in the squelch array (7). The user can then manually change the squelch setting (4) selected by the artificial intelligence algorithm for the manually-selected channel (2) or the channel (2) stored in the radio but not used before.

[0045] In this case, the processor (6) executing the artificial intelligence algorithm removes the matching information of the squelch setting (4) assigned automatically by itself to the channel (2) and the operation mode (3) of the channel (2) from the squelch array (7) in the memory (5), and matches the squelch setting (4) manually selected by the user and operation mode (3) and stores it in the squelch array (7) in the memory (5). Before the data on the matching of the operation mode (3) and the squelch setting (4) in the squelch array (7) in the memory (5) are created, the squelch setting (4) for the channel (2) must be entered manually by the user so that artificial intelligence learning is implemented (Figure-1).

[0046] In an embodiment of the invention, the radio squelch control system (1) comprises a processor (6) that assigns an AM mode as the operation mode (3) when the radio is first switched on, if the operation mode (3) is not active for the channel (2) entered manually by the user. If the channel (2) is manually set by the user and does not have any operation mode (3), the processor (6) automatically assigns AM to the channel (2).

[0047] In an embodiment of the invention, the radio squelch control system (1) comprises a processor (6) that execute an artificial intelligence algorithm that stores the operation mode (3) of the channel (2) entered manually by the user, the squelch setting (4) made by the user, and the frequency bandwidth of the channel (2) when the channel (2) entered manually by the user has an operation mode (3), so that a squelch array (7) is created in the memory (5).

[0048] When the squelch setting (4) of the channel (2) entered manually by the user is also made by the user, the operation mode (3) of the channel (2) is detected by the artificial intelligence algorithm executed by the processor (6). The squelch setting (4) selected by the user for the channel (2), the operation mode (3) and the frequency band information of the frequency of the channel (2) are stored in the squelch array (7) in the memory (5) by the processor (6) executing the artificial intelligence algorithm. The entire frequency range that the radio can communicate with is fragmented into 1 to n parts according to a user-determined number by the artificial intelligence algorithm executed by the processor (6) and frequency bands are created. The artificial intelligence algorithm executed by the processor (6) detects the frequency of the channel (2), and matches the information on the frequency band that the frequency corresponds to and the information on the user-selected squelch setting (4) and the operation mode (3) of the channel (2) and stores this match in the squelch array (7). For example, for the frequency bands of the radio with a frequency range of 200-512 MHz, which is divided into 6 parts at 50 MHz intervals; the processor (6) executing the artificial intelligence algorithm detects the frequency band of the channel (2) to be in the first frequency band when the frequency of the channel (2) is between 200-250 MHz, in the second frequency band when the frequency of the channel (2) is between 250-300 MHz, in the third frequency band when the frequency of the channel (2) is between 300-350 MHz, in the forth frequency band when the frequency of the channel (2) is between 350-400 MHz, in the fifth frequency band when the frequency of the channel (2) is between 400-450 MHz, and in the sixth frequency band when the frequency of the channel (2) is between 450-512 MHz.

[0049] In an embodiment of the invention, the radio squelch control system (1) comprises a processor (6) that executes an artificial intelligence algorithm that implements at least one of the steps of detecting the operation mode (3) and the frequency band of the channel (2) entered manually by the user; [0050] assigning to the channel (2) the squelch setting (4) in the most repeated squelch array (7) in the channels (2) using the detected operation mode (3) and in the channels (2) within the frequency band, [0051] assigning to the channel (2) the most repeated squelch setting (4) only according to the operation mode (3) when there is no squelch setting (4) match according to the detected frequency band of the channel (2) in the squelch array (7), or when the most repeated squelch settings (4) according to the frequency band are equal, [0052] assigning to the channel (2) the most repeated squelch setting (4) only according to the frequency band when there is no squelch setting (4) match according to the detected operation mode (3) of the channel (2) in the squelch array (7), or when the most repeated squelch settings (4) according to the operation mode (3) are equal, [0053] assigning ON as the squelch setting (4) when the most repeated squelch settings (4) according to the operation mode (3) and according to the frequency band in the squelch array (7) are equal, and matching the squelch setting (4), the operation mode (3), and the frequency band and storing it in the squelch array (7) in the memory (5). The operation mode (3) and the frequency band of the channel (2) entered manually are detected by the processor (6) executing the artificial intelligence algorithm. The most repeated squelch setting (4) in the squelch array (7) is assigned to the channel (2) by the artificial intelligence algorithm executed in the processor (6) according to the operation mode (3) and the frequency band. For example, when it is detected that the manually-set channel (2) uses the AM operation mode (3) and is in the fifth frequency band by the artificial intelligence algorithm executed by the processor (6); if the squelch setting (4) is matched in three channels (2) as ON and in seven channels (2) as OFF for ten channels (2) with AM operation mode (3) in the squelch array (7), and if three of ten channels (2) with AM operation mode (3) remain in the fifth frequency band, if the squelch setting (4) for three channels (2) is matched in two channels (2) as ON and in one channel (2) as OFF, the squelch setting (4) is assigned to the channel (2) as ON in this example by the processor (6) executing the artificial intelligence algorithm. Based on this example, the data on the AM operation mode (3), the fifth frequency band and the ON setting as the squelch setting (4) for that channel (2) are matched by the artificial intelligence algorithm and stored in the squelch array (7). For example, when it is detected that the manually-set channel (2) uses the AM operation mode (3) and is in the fifth frequency band by the artificial intelligence algorithm executed by the processor (6); if the squelch setting (4) is matched as ON in three channels (2) and as OFF in seven channels (2) for ten channels (2) with AM operation mode (3) in the squelch array (7), and if none of ten channels (2) with AM operation mode (3) matches with the fifth frequency band, the squelch setting (4) is assigned as OFF to the channel (2) in this example by the processor (6) executing the artificial intelligence algorithm. Based on this example, the data on the AM operation mode (3), the fifth frequency band and the OFF setting as the squelch setting (4) for that channel (2) are matched by the artificial intelligence algorithm and stored in the squelch array (7) (FIG. 1).

[0054] In an embodiment of the invention, the radio squelch control system (1) comprises a processor (6) that detects the operation mode (3) of the channel (2) and assigns to the channel (2) the most selected squelch setting (4) for the detected operation mode (3) in the squelch array (7) when a channel (2) loaded in the radio and to be used for the first time is selected, and if the user does not make any squelch setting (4). When the channel (2) loaded in the radio is used for the first time, the squelch setting (4) is automatically assigned by the processor (6) executing the artificial intelligence algorithm. The processor (6) executing the artificial intelligence algorithm detects the operation mode (3) of the channel (2) and applies to the channel (2) the most repeated squelch setting (4) for the detected operation mode (3) in the squelch array (7).

[0055] The automatically assigned squelch setting (4) and the operation mode (3) for the channel (2) are matched and stored in the squelch array (7) by the processor (6), so that artificial intelligence learning is implemented for the next automatic squelch setting (4) assignment (FIG. 1).

[0056] In an embodiment of the invention, the radio squelch control system (1) comprises a processor (6) that executes an artificial intelligence algorithm that stores the user-made squelch setting (4), the channel (2) number, and the operation mode (3) in the squelch array (7) when a channel (2) loaded in the radio and is to be used for the first time is selected. When the channel (2) in the radio is used for the first time, the squelch setting (4) is automatically assigned to the channel (2) by the artificial intelligence algorithm executed by the processor (6), based on the most repeated squelch setting (4) according to the operation mode (3) of the channel (2). However, when this automatic squelch setting (4) assignment is changed by the user, the artificial intelligence algorithm executed in the processor (6) removes the previous operation mode (3) and the squelch setting (4) match from the squelch array (7) and stores the user-selected squelch setting (4), the channel (2) number and the operation mode (3) in the squelch array (7).

[0057] Thus, artificial intelligence learning is implemented for the next automatic squelch setting (4) assignment.

[0058] In an embodiment of the invention, the radio squelch control system (1) comprises a processor (6) that reads the squelch setting (4) used for the channel (2) from the memory (5) and assigns it to the channel (2) when a channel (2) loaded in the radio and is previously used is selected by the user. It comprises a processor (6) that reads the match of the squelch setting (4) selected or automatically assigned in the previous use of the channel (2) and the channel (2) number from the memory (5) when the channel (2) is previously used, and enables the squelch setting (4) matched with the channel (2) number to be used for the next uses of the channel (2).

[0059] For the previously used channel (2), when the channel (2) is reused, the assignment of the processor (6) that automatically assigns to the channel (2) the squelch setting (4) corresponding to the channel (2) number from the memory (5) can also be changed manually by the user. When the squelch setting (4) for the channel (2) is changed by the user, the channel (2) number and the newly set squelch setting (4) are matched and stored in the memory (5), and the squelch setting (4) is assigned according to this match in the next use of the channel (2).

[0060] In an embodiment of the invention, the radio squelch control system (1) comprises a monitor (8) that enables the squelch setting (4) to be displayed to the user and is managed by the processor (6). There is a monitor (8) managed by the processor (6) to show the user the squelch setting (4) selections made by the user, or the squelch settings (4) automatically assigned by the artificial intelligence algorithm.

[0061] In an embodiment of the invention, the radio squelch control system (1) comprises a processor (6) that executes an artificial intelligence algorithm that enables the squelch setting (4) to be made automatically when the radio is first switched on, and a button (9) on the monitor (8) so that the squelch setting (4) can be changed by the user after the processor (6) has made the squelch setting (4) for the channel (2). When the radio is first switched on by the user, the squelch setting (4) for the manually-set channel (2), or for the channel (2) present in the radio but not used before is carried out by the processor (6) that executes the artificial intelligence algorithm. However, the user can change the automatically assigned squelch setting (4) thanks to the button (9) on the monitor (8). In this case, the data related to the automatic squelch setting (4) are deleted from the squelch array (7) and the data related to the user's squelch setting (7) selection are stored in the squelch array (7). (FIG. 2)

[0062] In an embodiment of the invention, the radio squelch control system (1) comprises a squelch setting (4) that enables the noise of the radio channel (2) in air, sea and land vehicles to be filtered.
