摘要

A multi-function personal communication device is contained in a functional writing instrument. The pen includes a pager (32), a DTMF dialer (34), a microcontroller (30), memory (42), a real-time clock (60), an LCD display (38), batteries (22), and a menu-based interface (40) for utilizing the various functions of the system. A speaker (24) is also located within the housing for notifying the user of scheduled events, incoming pages, and for generating DTMF tones for automatically dialing telephone numbers stored in the memory (42). A switch (26) on the pen enables the user to scroll through the menus and to make selections. The pen can interface with another computer via a recharging/data communications station which engages with contacts (50) on the pen. A pager security system is provided in which the paging decoder includes a disable address and an enable address.
