ENHANCED MESSAGE PROCESSING AND ALARM CONTROL FOR A PAGING DEVICE

摘要

A paging system (10) offering an improved message processing and alarm control function is shown and illustrated wherein the message acceptance and alarm control is performed conditionally as a function of time of day and day of week. Conditional message processing may include accepting or declining presentation of a message based on a time reference. Alarm control may be provided according to user alarm definition to personalize alarm presentation unique to the user. This allows the user to more appropriately control message processing and alarm presentation according to personal criteria.
