Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
A radio telephone system, comprising: a radio terminal, and a plurality of radio systems, each of which transmits a respective system identification code, particular radio systems of said plurality of radio systems providing service for said radio terminal, each said respective system identification code of said particular radio systems being stored in said radio terminal and defining a set of registered system identification codes, each of said registered system identification codes having stored in said radio terminal a corresponding user selectable selection priority and a corresponding user selectable selection information, said selection information indicating radio system enablement or non-enablement; wherein when said radio terminal receives different ones of said registered system identification codes, said radio terminal selects a selected radio system of said particular radio systems which has said respective system identification code corresponding to one of said registered system identification codes which has a highest said selection priority, and which has said selection information indicating enablement.
