Abstract
A paging system is operated over a conventional wireless network of the type that provides wireless information to users. The pagers are addressed over IP so that every pager that is within the range of a wireless node can receive the page. That way, the page can be delivered over a much longer area then conventional, specifically to anywhere within which there is a wireless pager device.
Claims11
A system, comprising:
- a controller part, which produces a paging message, intended for one specific pager device, and includes an Internet protocol address indicative of said one specific pager device, and a message associated with said Internet protocol address, said computer part including a backbone network connection which sends said paging message over said backbone network connection;
- a plurality of wireless access points, which operate using wireless network protocol, which receive said Internet protocol address over said backbone network connection and said message, and transmit said Internet protocol address and message using said wireless network protocol;
- and
- a plurality of pager devices, each said pager device responsive to only a single one of said Internet protocol addresses, receiving using said wireless network protocol, and, responsive to said receiving, displaying said message.

A system, comprising:
- a controller which produces a paging message intended for one specific paging device, said paging message including an Internet protocol address in ticket above said one specific device, and including information indicative of what the one specific device should do in response to receiving said paging message;
- a plurality of wireless network devices, which deliver Internet content to users, said network connections also providing said paging message to each device within a range of each of said plurality of network devices;
- and
- a backbone network connection connected between said controller and said each of said wireless network devices.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- delivering Internet content to a plurality of users over a plurality of wireless access points;
- generating a page intended for a paging device that is associated with an Internet protocol address;
- sending said page over a network backbone to said plurality of wireless access points that are delivering said Internet content;
- and
- receiving said page in each of a plurality of paging devices, and responding to said page in only the one paging device responsive to the Internet protocol address.
