Abstract
A selective call receiver includes a memory which stores a plurality of conversion tables each having a different character set. Each conversion table is used to convert a numeral code to a display character code for displaying visual information on screen. A table selector selects a conversion table from the plurality of conversion tables according to a table selection code which is included in the message data. A converter converts each numeral code included in message data following the table selection code into a display character code by using a selected conversion table.
Claims20
A selective call receiver for receiving a selective calling signal conveying message data, comprising:
- a memory for storing a plurality of conversion tables each having a different character set, wherein each conversion table is used to convert a numerical code to a display character code for displaying visual information on screen;
- a table selector for selecting a conversion table from the plurality of conversion tables according to a table selection code which is included in the message data;
- and
- a converter for converting each numeral code included in the message data following in the table selection code into a display character code by using a selected conversion table.
A selective call receiver for receiving a selective calling signal conveying message data, comprising:
- a first memory for storing a conversion beginning code and a table selection code;
- a second memory for storing a plurality of conversion tables each having a different character set, wherein each conversion table is used to convert a numeral code to a display character code for displaying visual information on a screen;
- a detector for detecting the conversion beginning code and the table selection code from the message data, wherein the table selection code is a position behind the conversion beginning code;
- and
- a processor for selecting a conversion table from the plurality of conversion tables according to the table selection code and converting each numeral code included in the message data following the table selection code into a display character code by using a selected conversion table.
A method for displaying a received message on screen in a selective call receiver for receiving a selective calling signal conveying message data, comprising the steps of:
- storing a plurality of conversion tables each having a different character set, wherein each conversion table is used to convert a numeral code to a display character code:
- selecting a conversion table from the plurality of conversion tables according to a table selection code which is included in the message data;
- and
- converting each numeral code included in message data following the table selection code into a display character code by using a selected conversion table.
