Abstract
A radio paging receiver receives transmitted data containing a plurality of character code sequences, which can include sequences of different bit lengths and processes that, while segmenting character code sequences from the received data using a previously specified bit length for the segmentation; successively compares each segmented character code sequence with one or more predefined special codes conforming to the previously specified bit length; and when a segmented character code sequence does not match the one or more special codes, stores the segmented character code sequence as message data with a bit length corresponding to the previously specified bit length, but when a segmented character code sequence does match one of the one or more special codes, causes the bit length in which the received data are to be segmented to change to the bit length specified by the special code so that it can receive a series of messages comprising alphanumeric characters and Chinese or Japanese characters, which differ in the number of bits at which segmentation is required, without causing wasted air time.
