SELECTIVE CALL RECEIVER WITH QUICK ACCESS TO A NON-INTRUSIVE MESSAGE

摘要

A selective call receiver (30) includes a receiver (34) for receiving selective call messages. The selective call messages include first and second types of messages. A memory (44) stores the selective call message. A microprocessor (36), including a controller (52), along with user input controls (40) allow a user to navigate through the memory means to locate a desired portion of the first type of selective call messages. A display (42) is used to display the desired portion. The microprocessor (36) is capable of processing a new selective call message without interrupting the navigation of the controller (52) or the displaying of the desired screen. Furthermore, the microprocessor (36) allows the user to quickly access one of the second type of selective call messages and quick return to the desired portion without having to renavigate to the desired portion.
