Digitized stored voice paging receiver
First Claim
1. A method of operating a paging receiver which receives information, transmitted from an external source, including coded information having an address, followed by associated analog information having at least one analog voice message, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving the information and decoding the coded information to recover the address;
(b) selectively enabling the receiver correlating to the decoded address to recover the analog voice message from the received analog information;
(c) responding solely to the presence of the recovered analog voice message to convert said analog voice message to digital information, the digital information representative of a replica of the originally received analog voice message; and
(d) storing at least part of the digital information in a memory of the selected receiver.

Abstract
A paging receiver device and method are disclosed in which analog information transmitted from an external source such as a paging transmitter are received and decoded. The analog information includes at least one voice message. The voice message is recovered, digitized, and stored in one of a plurality of message slots in a memory of the paging receiver. In response to a paging user'"'"'s request, the digitized stored message is recalled from memory, reconverted from digital information to analog information, and used to produce audible voice information being a replica of the original analog voice message.

11. A digitized voice paging device comprising:
-
means for receiving information, transmitted from an external source, the information including coded information having an address, and associated analog information having at least one analog voice message; means for decoding the coded information to recover the address to determine whether the associated analog information is intended for the paging device; means governed by the decoding means to recover the analog voice message from the received analog information; means governed solely by said decoding means and the presence of the recovered analog voice message to convert said analog voice message to a digital voice message which is representative of a replica of the originally received analog voice message; memory means for storing at least part of the digital voice message. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
