a data bank;
acoustic reproducing means;
visual reproducing means;
control means having a first input coupled to receive said demodulated message, and input/output means coupled to the data bank supplying codes contained in said message to said data bank and for receiving data from said data bank relating to the codes in the message, said control unit further including means coupled to said acoustic reproducing means and said visual producing means for reproducing the message on the basis of data read from the data bank,characterized in that the control means comprises means for dividing the message into a first part and a second part in such a manner that the first part comprises a primary designation, which is characteristic of the message, and the second part comprises a secondary designation, and the control means further comprises means for reproducing at least the first part by the acoustic reproducing means and, selectively, the second part by the visual reproducing means.

Abstract
A method of processing and reproducing a coded message, which message is divided into a first and a second part, the first part including information which briefly characterizes the message. The first part is reproduced acoustically and the second part is reproduced visually. By acoustically reproducing only a part of the message, a user is distracted only briefly and need not listen to the entire message if this message is not relevant to the user. If the message is relevant to the user, the user can consult the display for the rest of the message.
