PAGING RECEIVER CAPABLE OF REMINDING A USER OF AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE EVENT

摘要

An electronic paging receiver for reminding a user of an important event includes a time of day clock for recording the time when a data message is received. The paging receiver computes a future alert time to remind the user of the receipt of the data message. Additionally, the user may enter a future alert time to generate a future alert. Futher, the paging receiver is capable of detecting a special time/date field in the received data message to automatically generate a future alert.
