Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to paging and in particular to a method and apparatus for providing definable audio tones while presenting a page.
  • Paging provides selective call, one way communication and is well known in the art.
  • an originator provides a subscriber ID and the message to a radio common carrier (RCC), where the subscriber ID is affiliated with the paging receiver.
  • RRC radio common carrier
  • the RCC transmits the subscriber ID and the message over a radio channel.
  • the paging receiver receives the subscriber ID and the message, the receiver stores the message in its memory, and produces an alert which notifies a subscriber that the message has been received.
  • the paging receiver When the subscriber initiates a read message function, the paging receiver presents the message to the subscriber.
  • Alphanumeric paging allows alphanumeric information from an originator to be communicated to an alphanumeric paging subscriber. However, the alphanumeric information is conveyed to the subscriber only after the message is presented on a display and read off the display by the subscriber.
  • a system for providing a selective call message including definable audio comprising a composer for generating an audio composition in response to input from a selective call message originator, a paging encoder for combining the audio composition with message data to form a selective call message, a radio transmitter for transmitting the selective call message, and a receiver for receiving the selective call message and subsequently presenting the message data and reproducing the audio composition.

  • the encoder 110 is operably coupled to receive input from the composer 105, and combines the audio composition from the composer 105 with message data to form a selective call message. Typically, after generating the audio composition, the composer 105 transforms the audio composition into a form usable by the paging encoder 110. Alternatively, the encoder 110 may be enhanced to receive the audio composition from the composer 105 and perform the transformation.
  • the encoder 110 conventionally referred to as a paging encoder, typically supports at least one paging protocol such as the Post Office Code Standardisation
  • the selective call message is formed in accordance with the paging protocol supported by the encoder 110.
  • the output of the encoder 110 is a bit stream which incorporates error correcting features to fortify the information prior to transmission.
  • a transmitter 115 is coupled to receive the output from the encoder 110 and transmits the output of the encoder 110 on at least one radio channel.
  • the output of the encoder 110 is modulated on a radio frequency signal for transmission.
  • the receiver 120 comprises a radio receiver 205 that is tuned to a radio channel.
  • a controller 210 is operably coupled to receive input from the radio receiver 205 and adapted to provide output to a display 215 and an audio generator 220.

  • Concurrent presentation of audio and visual information in accordance with the present invention meets the escalating expectations of paging subscribers who desire more complex information presentation while advantageously maintaining the small, portable size of the paging receiver.
  • This advantage is realised through dual usage of the audio alert means, such as an audio generator and transducer combination.
  • the present invention uses the audio transducer to enhance message presentation by providing audio composed by the message originator concurrent with presentation of the visual message on the display of the paging receiver.
  • the present invention provides a method and apparatus that will enable an originator of a page to enhance the presentation of a page by blending audio and visual means to convey information to a paging subscriber. What is claimed is:
