Abstract
A low cost alphanumeric paging entry system is based on a low cost paging (LCP) device to enter paging messages remotely from any telephone. The device is designed to minimize the needs for user training and is intended for intuitive operation by the user. The device uses simplex communications, using a system of Baudot tones, to send the paging message to the paging system for transmission to the intended recipient. A gateway is a device intended to interface between such an LCP device and an otherwise conventional paging system. The gateway provides a series of audible prompts to the user to facilitate easy and intuitive entry of the paging message to the gateway. The gateway then re-formats the paging message into a standard digital paging message format and re-transmits the message to a pagan system for transmission to the recipient.
