1. A system for transmitting messages received from a paging network operations center to a cellular or other wireless device through short-range radio communication, the system comprising:
- a wireless device comprising a wireless device processor, a wireless device memory, a wireless device transceiver, and display circuitry; and
a wireless device peripheral comprising;
paging circuitry adapted to;
receive data from the paging network operations center through a paging network, the received data including a message and one or more message attributes associated with the message;
short-range RF circuitry; and
a processor coupled to the paging circuitry and the short-range RF circuitry, the processor being adapted to;
obtain the received data from the paging circuitry;
process the received data to retrieve the message and the one or more message attributes, and to associate an error status with the message, the error status comprising an indicator based on whether an error was detected in the received data;
transfer the processed data to the short-range RF circuitry, the processed data including the message, at least one of the one or more message attributes and the error status; and
wherein, the short-range RF circuitry is adapted to transmit the processed data to the wireless device through a short-range radio connection; and
wherein, in response to receiving the processed data at the wireless device, the wireless device processor is adapted to;
cause the wireless device transceiver to transmit a receipt acknowledgement to the paging network operations center through a cellular or Internet connection, the receipt acknowledgement comprising a notification that the message was received and an error indication based on the error status;
store the message, the at least one message attribute and the error status in the wireless device memory; and
transfer the message to the display circuitry for display.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and media are provided for transmitting a message received from a paging network on a paging device to wireless or other electronic devices. The paging device establishes a radio connection with the wireless device and transmits the received messages to the wireless device through the established radio connection. In response to receiving a message from the paging device, the wireless device sends an acknowledgment to the paging network that the message was received and displays the message.

21. A method for processing messages sent from a paging network operations center to a paging device and transmitted to a cellular or other wireless device through short-range radio communication, the method being implemented through instructions that cause a cellular or other wireless device to perform the steps of:
-
receiving processed data from the paging device through a short-range radio connection, the processed data comprising a message, one or more message attributes associated with the message, and an error status, wherein the message and the one or more message attributes are based on paging data received by the paging device from the paging network operations center through a paging network, and wherein the error status comprises an indicator based on whether an error was detected in the paging data; transmitting a receipt acknowledgement to the paging network operations center through a cellular or Internet connection, the receipt acknowledgement including a notification that the message has been received and an error notification based on the error status; storing the message, the one or more message attributes and the error status; and displaying the message. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
