Selective call receiver with an intelligent memory system

摘要

A pager receiver for receiving radio broadcast message signals including call signal information and message information comprises a receiver (3) for receiving and demodulating coded message signals, a memory (5) for memorizing the message information, a coded message signal decoder (4) for selectively furnishing message information to the memory (5) and function control circuitry (8) capable of furnishing control signals to the memory and of receiving therefrom message information stored therein. The memory (5) comprises internal processing circuitry for controlling the reception of message information coming from the decoder (4) so that the selected message information furnished by the decoder (4) may be stored in the memory without the necessity of having control available from a micro-computer or processor outside such memory which thus becomes, in a manner of speaking, "intelligent". The receiver may be applied to pagers incorporated in wrist-watches.
