First Claim
Patent Images
1. A RF receiver for receiving wireless RF transmission data including associated transmitted receiver addresses, comprising:
- an output device for supplying the transmission data;
multiple storage locations containing stored Selectable receiver addresses;
a manually operable selection means located on said receiver for enabling and disabling stored receiver addresses; and
a processor coupled to the output device, storage locations and selection device, the processor supplying data to the output device having a data address matching at least one of the enabled receiver addresses.

Abstract
Selectable receiver addressing is used to control how messages are output from different receivers. Users selectively enable and disable personal addresses in the receiver. The receiver polls time slots where the data for enabled addresses may be transmitted. Enabled addresses are compared with transmitted receiver addresses. If the transmitted address matches one of the enabled receiver addresses, the message is output to the receiver user. If the transmitted address does not match the receiver address, the message is not processed and, accordingly, the receiver operator is not disturbed.

3. A method for selecting user addresses in wireless RF receivers, comprising:
-
transmitting signals in a time division multiplexed format, the signals including data and associated transmitted receiver addresses;
storing multiple receiver addresses in each one of the receivers, each stored receiver address associated with a different receiver user;
receiving the signals with the RF receivers;
comparing the transmitted receiver addresses with the stored receiver addresses in the receivers;
supplying data in receivers having transmitted receivers addresses matching at least one of the stored receiver addresses; and
manually selectively enabling and disabling at said receiver the stored receiver addresses thereby selectively changing the data supplied to the receivers for each user. - View Dependent Claims (4)
