DUAL CHANNEL FM RECEIVER WITH ON DEMAND INFORMATION SERVICES

摘要

Information services on demand by user allows a user in a one-way communication paging system to obtain on a limited basis information service items without interacting directly with the paging system to demand transmission thereof. The system provides information services in separate transmission channels. In each transmission channel including information service items, indicia thereinindicates categories of information items available therein. A remote information terminal (106), in response to user demand for a given category of information service (306), seeks information service items in that category by monitoring transmission channels and comparing information service indicia therein to the demanded information service. The user need not interact directly with the paging system to obtain information service items on a limited basis.
