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 composer 105 when the composer 105 is integrated with the infrastructure 102 and the SCO provides input via a public switched telephone network (PSTN) dial up facility coupled to the infrastructure 102, the SCO may compose an audio composition using the composer 105 in addition to providing message data input and a subscriber ID via the dial up facility.
  • PSTN public switched telephone network
  • the composer 105 when the composer 105 is remotely located from the infrastructure 102, the SCO may compose the audio composition at any convenient time using the composer 105, and provide the audio composition when providing the message data and the subscriber ID via the dial up facility.

  • 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.
  • the controller 210 is also coupled to a memory 212 where the controller 210 may store and retrieve information.
  • the memory may be a semiconductor memory device or magnetic media.
  • the controller 210 comprises a microcontroller which executes a software program stored in the memory 212.
  • the software program may be stored in a memory within the microcontroller.
  • the microcontroller may be coupled via input and output ports to the display 215 and the audio generator 220.
  • the display 215 typically comprises a liquid crystal display (LCD) that displays numeric or alphanumeric characters.
  • the audio generator 220 may comprise, for example, an audio transducer or a speaker for producing audio in response to input from the controller 210.
  • the software program in the semiconductor memory may be enhanced to utilise the audio generator 220 to provide audio alerts as well as to reproduce the audio composition.

  • the present invention enhances conventional paging infrastructure and receivers to provide a selective call message that presents information in multimedia, incorporating a visual display and corresponding audio to convey information to a paging subscriber.
  • 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:
