A portable secure financial messaging unit ( ) includes a receiver ( ) and a selective call decoder ( ). The selective call decoder ( ) has a memory ( ) that includes a single unique selective call address corresponding with a predetermined financial transaction type. An address correlator ( ) operates to determine substantial coincidence between the single unique selective call address and a received selective call address corresponding with the predetermined financial transaction type. In response to a coincidence, a main processor ( ) and a financial transaction processor ( ) process-received information to effect a financial transaction corresponding with the predetermined financial transaction type.

Single account portable wireless financial messaging unit

A portable 2-way secure financial messaging unit (,) includes a receiver (,), a selective call decoder (,), a financial transaction processor (,), a main processor (,), and a transmitter (,). A received secure financial transaction message is decoded by the selective call decoder (,) and either passed directly to a financial transaction processor (,) in the secure financial messaging unit or to a smart card to prevent unauthorized access to information contained in the secure financial transaction message. The portable 2-way secure financial messaging unit (,) may originate as well as receive financial transactions.

Display panel for a timepiece

Apparatus and method is disclosed for storing and subsequently transmitting later messages for system pagers with acknowledge back capability that nevertheless fail to acknowledge back in the first instance. Addresses are retransmitted for pagers initially failing to acknowledge back on a continuous periodic basis until such acknowledge back is received, at which time the message intended therefor is sent, or a predetermined time period expires.

Paging terminal apparatus with message storage and retransmission

Apparatus and method is disclosed for automatically, or by selective response, call forwarding a message to one or more system pagers which have an acknowledge back capability. In one embodiment, disclosed apparatus automatically forwards a message to another system pager upon the initially called pager failing to acknowledge back within a predetermined time period. Such other pager is determined from a set paging hierarchy included within the paging terminal apparatus itself. In another embodiment, wherein the system pagers have multiple acknowledge back response capability, a called pager can request the received message be additionally call forwarded to one or more other system pagers in accordance with the particular acknowledge back response chosen by the called pager user.
