Abstract
Taught herein are devices, systems, and methods for creating, procuring, and maintaining a priority scheme for cell broadcast messages. In an exemplary embodiment, the priority scheme includes a plurality of cell broadcast channels (CBCH) that are assigned logic groups, which in turn are assigned a priority level. Accordingly, cell broadcast (CB) messages with higher priority levels are displayed first on the receiving device.
Claims20
A mobile communications device operating in a wireless network that supports cell broadcast (CB) messaging, the mobile communications device comprising:
- a transceiver for receiving CB messages from the wireless network;
- a display for displaying the CB messages received from the wireless network;
- a memory comprising at least one priority scheme, the priority scheme comprising two or more logic groups, each of which is assigned a priority level and each of which includes a plurality of cell broadcast channels (CBCHs);
- and
- a processor for assigning the priority level to each of the logic groups according to the priority scheme and instructing the display to present a plurality of CB messages received via the CBCHs on the display based upon said priority level.
A computer readable memory of a mobile communications device operating in a wireless network, the computer readable memory comprising computer-executable instructions for making a processor operable to:
- assign a priority level to two or more logic groups according to a priority scheme, wherein each of the logic groups includes a plurality of Cell Broadcast Channels (CBCHs);
- and
- instruct a display to present a plurality of Cell Broadcast (CB) messages received via the CBCHs on the display based upon said priority level.
A method for providing a priority scheme to a mobile communications device operating in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
- loading a priority scheme into a memory of the mobile communications device, the priority scheme comprising two or more logic groups, each of which is assigned a priority level and each of which includes a plurality of cell broadcast channels (CBCHs);
- receiving, at the mobile device, at least two cell broadcast messages via CBCHs;
- and
- displaying the CB messages in an order prescribed by the priority scheme.
