A NON-CONTACT PAGER PROGRAMMING SYSTEM AND A PAGER FOR USE THEREWITH

摘要

A non-contact pager programming system (Fig. 3) is governed by command and data signals (18) generated by a user interactive device (10, 12, 14) to program a non-volatile memory (Fig. 16, 340) of a pager (20). The system comprises a controller (30) which is responsive to the command and data signals to generate first signals (34) including command and data words to govern a transmitting circuit (36) to select a carrier frequency corresponding to the pager being programmed and to transmit over the air a programming signal (46) at the selected carrier frequency digitally modulated in accordance with the pager's reception protocol and the command and data words. The programming system may also include a receiving circuit (42) which is governed by at least one second signal (40) generated by the controller to receive over-the-air signals (52) generated by the pager being programmed in response to the programming signal.
