Multi-media receiver and system therefor
First Claim
1. A multi-media receiver comprising:
- a receiver for receiving messages and individual digitally encoded multi-media event files transmitted over a radio frequency channel, the individual digitally encoded multi-media event files including one or more text event files representing text events, one or more graphics event files representing graphics events, and one or more audio event files representing audio events, and multi-media command files utilized to relate text event files, graphics event files, and audio event files as a multi media event presentation;
a memory, coupled to said receiver, for storing messages received, and further for storing individual digitally encoded multi-media event files and the multi-media command files;
a presentation device for presenting a multi-media event presentation;
a user interface for enabling a user to initiate a multi-media event presentation using said presentation device; and
a controller, coupled to said memory and responsive to said user interface and the multi-media command files stored in said memory, for controlling selective retrieval of text event files from the one or more text event files, of graphics event files from the one or more graphics event files, and of audio event files from the one or more audio event files stored in said memory,said controller further coupled to said presentation device for controlling a substantially concurrent presentation of the text event files, the graphics event files, and the audio event files which are selectively retrieved to generate the multi-media event presentation.

Abstract
A system for transmitting messages and multi-media presentations to a multi-media receiver (114). The system includes a multi-media messaging terminal (106) which has a controller (216) for the preparation and transmission of a multi-media presentation, composed of multi-media files. The multi-media files include user programmed text events (1258), graphics events (1260), audio events (1254) and multi-media commands (1256). The controller (216) is coupled to a memory, for storing the user programmed text events, graphics events, audio events and multi-media commands, and a multi-media interface (208). The multi-media interface (208) provides a interface to transfer the multi-media files being transferred from the multi-media terminal to a paging system. The paging system encodes multi-media files received with encoder (228) for transmission with transmitter (108).
