Abstract

A radio tele-communication apparatus of this invention is arranged as follows. A receiving circuit receives a signal including transmission information transmitted from a base station and outputs a demodulated signal. A determining circuit determines whether or not self-addressed transmission information is included in the demodulated signal output from the receiving circuit. If the determining circuit determines that the self-addressed transmission information is included in the demodulated signal, a detecting circuit compares the currently received transmission information with previously received transmission information to detect a change amount therebetween. If the change amount is larger than a predetermined amount, an informing circuit informs reception of the self-addressed transmission information.

Claims

1. A radio receiver comprising:

receiving means for receiving signals broadcast over a predetermined radio channel;

first signal detecting means coupled to said receiving means for detecting a first predetermined signal sequence containing a first ID code;

second signal detecting means coupled to said receiving means for detecting a second predetermined signal sequence containing a second ID code and an additional code, a new message signal sequence;

first alarming means coupled to said first signal detecting means for, when said first signal detecting means detects the first predetermined signal sequence containing the first ID code, alarming a user of the radio receiver;

determining means coupled to said second signal detecting means for determining whether or not the additional code detected by said second signal detecting means is an alarm instruction code;

amount-of-change detecting means for, comparing the new message signal sequence detected by said second signal detecting means with previously received message signal sequence and for detecting an amount of change between the new message signal sequence and the previously received message signal sequence, when said determining means determines that the additional code is not the alarm instruction code; and

second alarming means for, alarming the user of the radio receiver and displaying the new message signal sequence, when said determining means determines that the additional code is the alarm instruction code and the amount of change detected by said amount-of-change detecting means exceeds a predetermined level.
