Abstract
A pager which includes, in addition to a message receiving function, a data generation program responsive to an operation for generating and storing data in the memory; and optical communication circuit for generating and transmitting a first optical signal indicative of the message or the generated data in accordance with a data selection command to another pager and for directly receiving a second optical signal including second data from the other pager and outputting the received data; and a receiving control program for storing the received data in the memory in response to a receiving command. It may further comprise: an ID code generation program for generating a first ID code according to the data selection command; a data attaching program for attaching the ID code to the data to be transmitted to another pager. The received data is stored according to the received ID code. A light intensity changing circuit may change an intensity of the first optical signal. Moreover, it is judged whether it is possible to communicate with another pager from the received data; and the user is informed of the judging result.
