1. A pager comprising:
- means for receiving data containing an identification call number or traffic information transmitted from a central office at a predetermined interval, wherein sequential receipt of said received data provides the identification call number and the traffic information to the pager;
first means for decoding and classifying said received data into the traffic information and the identification call number;
first means for storing an identification data of the pager, wherein the identification data of the pager consists of a pager ID;
means for comparing an identification of the received data with said stored identification data;
second means for decoding and separately storing addresses of the received traffic information and the identification call number of the received data according to a control signal only when the identification of the received data matches said stored identification data of the pager;
second means for separately storing in corresponding memory addresses said identification call number and said traffic information only when the identification of the received data matches said stored identification data of the pager;
means for conveying such traffic information to a user; and
a controller means connected for operably controlling the operation of the first and second means for decoding and first and second means for storing.

Abstract
A radio pager includes a decoder for decoding coded data transmitted from a central office at a predetermined interval. The decoder classifies the data into one of traffic information and a call number, and informs a control unit of the result. If the identification information of the received data is identical to the identification information stored in the pager, an address decoder stores the traffic information and a call number in a separate address of a memory according to a control signal of the control unit. In addition to traffic information, various information such as weather, stocks, alternate routes, etc., can be transmitted to the pager to increase its usefulness.

9. A pager, comprising:
-
means for receiving data containing a first message having an identification call number or a second message having status information transmitted from a central office at a predetermined interval, wherein sequential receipt of said received data provides the identification call number and the status information to the pager; first means for decoding and classifying said received data into the status information and the identification call number; first means for storing an identification data of the pager, wherein the identification data of the pager consists of a pager ID; means for comparing an identification of the received data with said stored identification data; second means for decoding and separately storing addresses of the received status information and the identification call number of the received data according to a control signal only when the identification of the received data matches said stored identification data of the pager; second means for separately storing in corresponding memory addresses said identification call number and said status information only when the identification of the received data matches said stored identification data of the pager; means for conveying such status information to a user; and a controller means connected for operably controlling the operation of the first and second means for decoding and first and second means for storing. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
