Low level content filtering

摘要

A system and method for receiving wireless information on a portable device (10) includes receiving an information packet (160) comprising a first portion having topic information (166) indicative of content in the second portion (170) of the information packet (160). The first portion of the information packet (160) is compared (86) to content filter data (206) stored on the portable computing device (10). At least the second portion (170) of the information packet is forwarded to another component of the portable computing device if the first portion matches any of the content filter data (206).
If the information needs user interaction the portable device is completely woken-up (92). Otherwise only a partial wake-up of the portable device is needed (94).
