Radio selective calling receiver and message receiving method
First Claim
1. A message receiving method, which comprises:
- a first step of judging whether a received message is originated from a local transmission station or a non-local transmission station;
a second step of judging whether the received message is an information message or a personal message when the received message is judged to be originated from the non-local transmission station;
a third step of judging whether or not a native language is used in the received message when the received message is judged to be the information message; and
a fourth step of translating the received message into a native language when it is judged that the native language is not used in the received message.

Abstract
Disclosed is a message receiving method executed on a radio selective calling receiver, which comprises: a first step of judging whether a received message is originated from a local transmission station or a non-local transmission station; a second step of judging whether the received message is an information message or a personal message when the received message is judged to be originated from the non-local transmission station; a third step of judging whether or not a native language is used in the received message when the received message is judged to be the information message; a fourth step of translating the received message into a native language when it is judged that the native language is not used in the received message.

extracting a pair of country code and an area code from the received message;
retrieving a language code corresponding to the pair of the country code and the area from a memory which stores correspondence between pairs of a country code and a area code and language codes; and
comparing the retrieved language code with a native language code held in the receiver.

10. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the third step comprises steps of:
-
extracting a transmission station code from the received message; and
comparing the extracted transmission station code with a transmission station code held in the receiver.

11. A radio selective calling receiver for receiving a message, which comprises:
-
means for judging whether a received message is originated from a local transmission station or a non-local transmission station;
means for judging whether the received message is an information message or a personal message when the received message is judged to be originated from the non-local transmission station;
means for judging whether or not a native language is used in the received message when the received message is judged to be the information message; and
means for translating the received message into a native language when it is judged that the native language is not used in the received message. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
means for extracting a pair of country code and an area code from the received message;
means for retrieving a language code corresponding to the pair of the country code and the area from a memory which stores correspondence between pairs of a country code and a area code and language codes; and
means for comparing the retrieved language code with a native language code held in the receiver.

17. The receiver as set forth in claim 11, which further comprises:
-
means for extracting a transmission station code from the received message; and
means for comparing the extracted transmission station code with a transmission station code held in the receiver.

18. A radio selective calling receiver for receiving a message, which comprises:
-
an antenna for receiving an encoded message;
a synchronous signal detecting circuit for detecting a synchronous signal from the encoded message;
a decoding circuit for decoding the encoded message into a message;
a system information detecting circuit for detecting system information in the message;
an address detecting circuit for detecting address in the message;
a translating unit for executing translation of the message;
a translated word data memory for storing translated data sets used for the translation;
a home country/area code memory for storing a home country and home area of the receiver;
a native language code memory for storing a native language code;
an information message address memory for storing addresses of information messages;
.a language table memory for storing correspondence between languages and pairs of a country code and an area code; and
controlling means for executing following steps;
a first step of judging whether the received message is originated from a local transmission station or a non-local transmission station;
a second step of judging whether the received message is an information message or a personal message when the received message is judged to be originated from the non-local transmission station;
a third step of judging whether or not a native language is used in the received message when the received message is judged to be the information message; and
a fourth step of causing said translating unit to translate the received message into a native language when it is judged that the native language is not used in the received message.
