Paging receiver capable of rapidly judging necessity of keeping an incoming message.

摘要

In a paging receiver comprising a processing unit (15) which produces an incoming message in response to reception of a radio signal specifically directed to the receiver, the processing unit compares the incoming message with each of selected messages selected from particular messages which are memorized in a message memory (18). Only when the incoming message is not coincident with at least one of the selected messages, the processing unit produces an activating signal. In accordance with the activating signal, the processing unit stores the incoming messages as one of the particular messages in the message memory. When the incoming message is coincident with at least one of the selected messages, the incoming message is not stored in the message memory. Preferably, when one of the selected messages is memorized in the message memory continuously in excess of a predetermined time period while the incoming message is coincident with the one of the selected messages, the processing unit renews the one of the selected messages. <IMAGE>
