Abstract
Abstract Data contained in second and subsequent transmissions is superimposed on the basic data first transmitted to a pocket bell type portable pager having a liquid crystal display. A first mode superimposes all of the data in order of receipt while a second mode stores the first received data and superimposes only most recently received thereon. A ROM is provided which contains maps and the like type of predetermined image data. Locations, times and messages can be superimposed in either of the two modes on the maps etc.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A method of displaying information received by radio transmission, comprising: receiving a first and sequential second to nth data transmissions; (a) determining, based on information contained in the first transmission, which of first and second superimposing modes the data contained in the second to nth data transmissions is to be imposed on the data contained in the first transmission; (b) superimposing the data contained in the second to nth transmissions on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the first mode is selected; (c) superimposing the data contained in the nth transmission on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the second mode is selected; and (d) producing an image on a display indicative of the superimposition.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
125 words
A method of displaying information received by radio transmission, comprising: receiving a first and sequential second to nth data transmissions; (a) determining, based on information contained in the first transmission, which of first and second superimposing modes the data contained in the second to nth data transmissions is to be imposed on the data contained in the first transmission; (b) superimposing the data contained in the second to nth transmissions on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the first mode is selected; (c) superimposing the data contained in the nth transmission on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the second mode is selected; and (d) producing an image on a display indicative of the superimposition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein step (c) comprises the steps of: memorizing the data contained in the first transmission; recalling the memorized data; and superimposing the data contained in the nth transmission on the recalled data.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
131 words
A method of operating a portable pager having a display, comprising the steps of: receiving a first and sequential second to nth radio data transmissions; determining, based on information contained in the first transmission, which of first and second superimposing modes the data contained in the second to nth data transmissions is to be imposed on the data contained in the first transmission; superimposing the data contained in the second to nth transmissions on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the first mode is selected; superimposing the data contained in the nth transmission on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the second mode is selected; and producing an image on the display of the pager indicative of the most recent superimposition.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
131 words
A method of operating a portable pager having a display, comprising the steps of: receiving a first and sequential second to nth radio data transmissions; determining, based on information contained in the first transmission, which of first and second superimposing modes the data contained in the second to nth data transmissions is to be imposed on the data contained in the first transmission; superimposing the data contained in the second to nth transmissions on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the first mode is selected; superimposing the data contained in the nth transmission on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the second mode is selected; and producing an image on the display of the pager indicative of the most recent superimposition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
62 words
A method as claimed in claim 3 further comprising the steps of: storing predetermined image pattern data in a memory; reading out selected image pattern data from the memory in response to data contained in the first transmission; and using the data read out of memory as the data on which the data contained in the second to nth transmissions is superimposed.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
139 words
A portable device having a display for displaying information received by radio transmission, comprising: means for receiving a first and sequential second to nth data transmissions; means for determining, based on information contained in the first transmission, which of first and second superimposing modes the data contained in the second to nth data transmissions is to be imposed on the data contained in the first transmission; means for superimposing the data contained in the second to nth transmissions on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the first mode is selected; means for superimposing the data contained in the nth transmission on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the second mode is selected; and means for producing an image on the display of the portable device indicative of the superimposition.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
134 words
A portable pager having a display, comprising: means for receiving a first and sequential second to nth radio data transmissions; means for determining, based on information contained in the first transmission, which of first and second superimposing modes the data contained in the second to nth data transmissions is to be imposed on the data contained in the first transmission; means for superimposing the data contained in the second to nth transmissions on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the first mode is selected; means for superimposing the data contained in the nth transmission on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the second mode is selected; and means for producing an image on the display of the pager indicative of the most recent superimposition.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
134 words
A portable pager having a display, comprising: means for receiving a first and sequential second to nth radio data transmissions; means for determining, based on information contained in the first transmission, which of first and second superimposing modes the data contained in the second to nth data transmissions is to be imposed on the data contained in the first transmission; means for superimposing the data contained in the second to nth transmissions on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the first mode is selected; means for superimposing the data contained in the nth transmission on the data contained in the first transmission in the event that the second mode is selected; and means for producing an image on the display of the pager indicative of the most recent superimposition.
