First Claim
1. A method of performing information transmissions from a transmitting station for reception by a receiving station, said method including the step of:
- providing in at least one of said transmissions classification data formatted to comprise at least two portions each serving to indicate a classification of the associated information transmission content, wherein one of the at least two portions serves to indicate the classification at a first hierarchical level and another one of the at least two portions serves to indicated the classification at a second hierarchical level, the classification indicated at the second hierarchical level being a sub-classification of the classification indicated at the first hierarchical level.

Abstract
A mobile terminal receives ‘push-type’ message broadcasts that carry header information indicating the content of the message. Three hierarchical message category designators each consist of a 16 bit word where only one bit may be set to designate each of 16 categories. The first word indicates the message category at a first hierarchical level, the second word the message category at a second hierarchical that falls within the category designated at the first hierarchical level. Similarly the third word designates a category at a third hierarchical level that falls within the category designated at the second hierarchical level. A user specifies those received message categories that are of interest by profile words and at each hierarchical level a bit-for-bit correlation is performed by correlators respectively. If a match is established at each hierarchical level the complete received message is processed by the device, otherwise it is ignored in order to conserve device resources and reduce power consumption.

7. A method of processing received information transmissions transmitted from a transmitting station, the transmissions being of a type where there is provided in at least one of said transmissions classification data formatted to comprise at least two portions each serving to indicate a classification of the associated information transmission content, wherein one of the at least two portions serves to indicate the classification at a first hierarchical level and another one of the at least two portions serves to indicated the classification at a second hierarchical level, the classification indicated at the second hierarchical level being a sub-classification of the classification indicated at the first hierarchical level, said method comprising the steps of:
-
analysing said classification data to determine whether the one of the at least two portions that serves to indicate a classification at the first hierarchical level indicates a classification that corresponds to a classification previously deemed to be of interest, and in the event said first hierarchical level classification does so correspond;
analysing said classification data to determine whether the another one of the at least two portions serves to indicate a classification at the second hierarchical level that corresponds to a classification previously deemed to be of interest; and
optionally further processing said received information message content in the event said first and second level hierarchical level classifications correspond to those classifications deemed to be of interest by a user. - View Dependent Claims (9)

10. Apparatus for formatting information for transmission by a transmitter station performing information transmissions, said apparatus including:
formatting means for providing in at least one of said transmissions classification data formatted to comprise at least two portions each serving to indicate a classification of the associated information transmission content, wherein one of the at least two portions serves to indicate the classification at a first hierarchical level and another one of the at least two portions serves to indicate the classification at a second hierarchical level, the classification indicated at the second hierarchical level being a sub-classification of the classification indicated at the first hierarchical level. - View Dependent Claims (11, 14, 15)

12. A processing apparatus for processing information transmissions received from a transmitting station, the transmissions being of a type where there is provided in at least one of said transmissions classification data formatted to comprise at least two portions each serving to indicate a classification of the associated information transmission content, wherein one of the at least two portions serves to indicate the classification at a first hierarchical level and another one of the at least two portions serves to indicated the classification at a second hierarchical level, the classification indicated at the second hierarchical level being a sub-classification of the classification indicated at the first hierarchical level, said apparatus comprising:
-
first analysing means for analysing said classification data to determine whether the one of the at least two portions that serves to indicate a classification at the first hierarchical level indicates a classification that corresponds to a classification previously deemed to be of interest, and second analysing means for analysing said classification data in the event said first hierarchical level classification does so correspond, said second analysing means serving to determine whether the another one of the at least two portions serves to indicate a classification at the second hierarchical level that corresponds to a classification previously deemed to be of interest; and
means for optionally further processing said received information transmissions in the event said first and second level hierarchical level classifications correspond to those classifications deemed to be of interest by a user. - View Dependent Claims (13, 16, 17)
