A wide area communication system ( ) employs a method and apparatus for providing a localized information ( ) to a communication device ( ) located in the wide area communication system ( ). The wide area communication system ( ) includes a plurality of local coverage areas ( ) that are each served by one or more broadcast transmission sites ( ). A broadcast transmission site ( ) providing communication service to a local coverage area that includes the communication device ( ) transmit, during a first pre-allocated time interval and/or together with a first pre-allocated broadcast address, information relating to their local coverage area. During a second time interval and/or together with an individual address ( ) of the communication device ( ), the same broadcast transmission sites together with other broadcast transmission sites in the wide area communication system ( ) transmit an individualized information ( ) to the communication device ( ).

Method and apparatus for providing localized information to a communication device in a wide area communication system

A method, in a SCR (Selective Call Receiver) (10), for providing to a user of the SCR (10) a voice memo in explanation of a received message. The SCR stores distinctive data (63) and a user-generated voice memo (67) that relates to the distinctive data. The voice memo (67) and the distinctive data (63) are stored in the SCR in association with each other. When a subsequent transmitted message (73) containing matching distinctive data is received, the SCR can annunciate the stored voice memo (67) in explanation of the subsequent message. Another feature allows voice memos to be stored and annunciated to explain the reason for alarms that are generated at times selected by the user.

Front surface for a display for a radio pager

A portable information display device such as a pager (20) has a plurality of operating modes and a corresponding plurality of menu items (40, 140). A symbol (40, 142) corresponding each menu item is displayed on a display (22) in a sequence determined by a priority (46) of the menu item. The priority (46) of each menu item (40, 140) is determined in response to either a frequency of selection of the corresponding operating mode (44), or a default value assigned to the menu item (42, 142) or both.
