First Claim
Patent Images
1. A paging apparatus for receiving and displaying at least one message transmitted from a base station, comprising:
- memory means for storing a plurality of messages transmitted from the base station;
switch means connected to a power supply and said memory means, and including a first switch connected to the power supply, for turning the power supply on/off and a second switch used for sequentially reading out the messages from said memory means;
display means connected to said memory means, for sequentially displaying the messages read out from said memory means; and
control means connected to said first and second switches, for selectively executing a plurality of operation modes, said control means changing the operation mode to another operation mode in response to an operation of said second switch after said control means detects that the last one of the messages is displayed, and executing another operation mode in response to an operation of said first switch,wherein when the last message has appeared on said display means, said second switch does not reset the display to the first message, but can be operated to change the operation mode.

Abstract
A paging apparatus includes a first switch for turning on/off a power supply, a second switch, a memory for storing a received message, a display for displaying a message read out from the memory, a switch operation detector for detecting operations for the first and second switches, and a message controller for selectively executing a display mode of displaying the message, a preservation mode of preserving the message in the memory, and a clear mode of clearing the message stored in the memory, in response to a conbination of operations of the first and second switches detected by the switch operation detector.

7. A paging apparatus comprising:
-
reception means for receiving a paging signal transmitted from a base station and including an ID code and a message; recognition means connected to said reception means, for comparing the ID code included in the paging signal and an ID code assigned to said paging apparatus, and recognizing paging upon coincidence between the two ID codes; signaling means connected to said recognition means, for signaling paging in response to paging recognition by said recognition means; memory means connected to said reception means, for storing a plurality of messages transmitted from the base station; switch means connected to a power supply and said memory means, and including a first switch connected to the power supply, for turning the power supply on/off, and a second switch used for sequentially reading out the messages from said memory means; display means connected to said memory means, for sequentially displaying the messages read out from said memory means; and control means connected to said first switching means, for selectively executing a plurality of operation modes, said control means changing the operation mode to another operation mode in response to an operation of said second switch after said control means detects that the last one of the messages is displayed, and executing another operation mode in response to an operation of said first switch, wherein when the last message has appeared on said display means, said second switch does not reset the display to the first message, but can be operated to change the operation mode. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
