Abstract
Abstract In order to record a message receipt time and at the same time ascertain a message recall, the receipt of a ID address code is determined and the time at which the ID address code is received is set as a new receive time. The new message which follows the ID address code is compared with a message previously stored in a memory and, the new message and new receive time are set in memory in the event that the new message and the previously stored one are not the same. On the other hand, in the event that the two messages are found to match, the receive time at which the old message stored in memory was received is replaced with the new receive time. Alternatively, both the new and old receive times are be stored and displayed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A method of recording message and checking a recall in a radio pager, comprising the steps of: (a) determining the receipt of an ID address code; (b) determining the time at which the ID address code is received and setting this time as a new receive time; (c) comparing a new message which follows the ID address code with a message previously stored in a memory; (d) storing the new message following the ID address code and the new receive time in the memory in the event that the new message and the previously stored message are not the same; and (e) storing the new receive time in the memory in the event that the message following the ID address code is the same as the message previously stored in the memory.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein in step (e) the new receive time replaces the receive time at which the message previously stored in the memory was received.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein in step (e) the new receive time is stored in addition to the receive time at which the message previously stored in the memory was received.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
137 words
A method of recording message and checking a recall in a radio pager, comprising: (a) determining the receipt of an ID address code; (b) determining the time at which the ID address code is received and setting this time as a new receive time; (c) comparing a new message which follows the ID address code with a message previously stored in a memory; (d) storing the message following the ID address code and the new receive time in memory in the event that the new message and the previously stored message are not the same; and (e) replacing the receive time at which the message stored in memory was received with the new receive time in the event that the message following the ID address code is the same as the message previously stored in the memory.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
141 words
A method of recording message and checking a recall in a radio pager, comprising; (a) determining the receipt of an ID address code; (b) determining the time at which the ID address code is received and setting this time as a new receive time; (c) comparing a new message which follows the ID address code with a message previously stored in a memory; (d) storing the message following the ID address code and the new receive time in memory in the event that the new message and the previously stored message are not the same; and (e) storing the new receive time and the previously recorded receive time in the memory in the event that the message following the ID address code is the same as the previously recorded message, and displaying both receive times along with the previously recorded message.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
135 words
A portable radio pager comprising: means for determining the receipt of an ID address code; means for determining the time at which the ID address code is received and setting this time as a new receive time; means for comparing a new message which follows the ID address code with a message previously stored in a memory; means for storing the message following the ID address code and the new receive time in memory in the event that the new message and the previously stored message are not the same; and means for replacing the receive time at which the message previously stored in the memory was received with the new receive time in the event that the message following the ID address code is the same as the message previously stored in the memory.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
143 words
A portable radio pager comprising: means for determining the receipt of an ID address code; means for determining the time at which the ID address code is received and setting this time as a new receive time; means for comparing a new message which follows the ID address code with a message previously stored in a memory; means for storing the message following the ID address code and the new receive time in the memory in the event that the new message and the previously stored message in the memory are not the same; and means for storing the new receive time in addition to the previously recorded receive time in the memory in the event that the message following the ID address code is the same as the previously recorded message, and displaying both receive times along with the previously recorded message.
