Patent Images
1. A digital voice storage communication system including:
- at least one transmitting station selectively addressing and transmitting a communication packet including an address code followed by a voice message;
a least two receiving stations having a corresponding predetermined stored address, each comprising;
a) a receiver circuit for receiving an incoming signal carrying said communication packet;
b) decoder circuitry responsive to said receiver circuit for emitting a record enable signal responsive to said communication packet carried by said incoming signal, including;
a comparator for comparing said predetermined stored address with said communication packet address code and automatically generating said record enable signal in response to said comparison, without reference to a separate record enable signal from said transmitter;
c) digital memory for storing said voice message of said communication packet in response to said record enable signal;
d) signal conversion circuitry for converting digital data in said digital memory into analog data for playback.

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.
