Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
63 words
A method for processing paging messages comprising: a partially activated microprocessor (MCU) transmitting a first identity number to a signal processor (DSP); the signal processor decoding a received paging message; the signal processor (DSP) comparing the decoded received paging message with the first identity number; and fully activating the microprocessor if the decoded received message paging message corresponds to the first identity number.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the decoded received paging message is transmitted to a dual port RAM for the microprocessor MCU and signal processor DSP.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A method according to Claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the microprocessor MCU is fully activated by an interrupt signal from the signal processor DSP.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
22 words
A method according to any preceding claim, wherein so-called empty paging messages are identified by the signal processor and are not processed.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
19 words
A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the paging message is received at intervals as a signal cluster.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
80 words
Apparatus for processing paging messages comprising: a signal processor (DSP); a microprocessor (MCU) with related memory; a joint dual-port RAM memory coupled to the signal processor (DSP) and the microprocessor (MCU); the signal processor (DSP) comprising means for comparing an identity number contained in the paging message with a first identity number obtained from the microprocessor (MCU), and control means for fully activating the microprocessor if the first identify number corresponds to the identity number contained in the paging message.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
Apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the RAM is adapted to transmit parallel signals between the signal processor (DSP) and the microprocessor (MCU) and to receive messages processed by the signal processor.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
Apparatus according to Claim 6 or 7, wherein the microprocessor (MCU) is fully activated by an interrupt signal from the signal processor (DSP).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
43 words
Apparatus according to any of claims 6 to 8, wherein the dual-port RAM memory is a separate circuit, or is contained in another integrated circuit of associated circuitry or is integral with one or other of the signal processor (DSP) and microprocessor (MCU).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
20 words
Apparatus according to any of claims 6 to 9, wherein the paging message is periodically received as a signal cluster.
