In the conventional technology, it was necessary for the recipient to search for the message he/she wanted to read each time from among all the messages delivered via the 9 communication networks. This is not a problem when the number of messages delivered is small, but as the number of messages increases, the time and effort required for the receiver to search increases. This drawback in the prior art.

This is because the message receiving device did not have a mechanism for automatically selecting the message the recipient needed from among the messages delivered via the communication network.

Regarding conventional message receiving devices.
