1. A method of displaying information received by radio transmission, comprising:
- receiving a first and sequential second to nth data transmissions;
(a) determining, based on information contained in the first transmission, which of first and second superimposing modes the data contained in the second to nth data transmissions is to be imposed on the data contained in the first transmission;
(b) superimposing the data contained in the second to nth transmissions on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the first mode is selected;
(c) superimposing the data contained in the nth transmission on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the second mode is selected; and
(d) producing an image on a display indicative of the superimposition.

Abstract
Data contained in second and subsequent transmissions is superimposed on the basic data first transmitted to a pocket bell type portable pager having a liquid crystal display. A first mode superimposes all of the data in order of receipt while a second mode stores the first received data and superimposes only most recently received thereon. A ROM is provided which contains maps and the like type of predetermined image data. Locations, times and messages can be superimposed in either of the two modes on the maps etc.

3. A method of operating a portable pager having a display, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a first and sequential second to nth radio data transmissions; determining, based on information contained in the first transmission, which of first and second superimposing modes the data contained in the second to nth data transmissions is to be imposed on the data contained in the first transmission; superimposing the data contained in the second to nth transmissions on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the first mode is selected; superimposing the data contained in the nth transmission on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the second mode is selected; and producing an image on the display of the pager indicative of the most recent superimposition. - View Dependent Claims (4)

9. A portable pager having a display, comprising:
-
receiving means for receiving a first and sequential second radio data transmissions; determining means for determining, based on information contained in the first transmission whether or not the data contained in the second data transmission is to be superimposed on the data contained in the first transmission; superimposing means for superimposing the data contained in the second transmissions on the data contained in the first transmission in response to the result obtained from said determining means; and means for producing an image on the display of the pager indicative of the most recent superimposition.
