Abstract
Abstract In a radio paging receiver, a CPU selects (SA3) from call signals a specific call signal specific to the receiver and from message signals a specific message signal that follows the specific call signal and represents a specific message, which is displayed (SA23) on a display. The CPU judges (SA20) whether or not the specific message is identical with a predetermined message. An EEPROM memorizes (SA21) an inhibit signal when the specific message is identical with the predetermined message. The CPU puts (SA23-SA25) the receiver out of operation when the EEPROM memorizes the inhibit signal. The CPU makes (SA23) the display display the predetermined message when the EEPROM memorizes the inhibit signal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
A radio paging receiver operated by supply of electric power, said radio paging receiver comprising: a power switch for directing start and stop of supplying said electric power to said radio paging receiver, a memory for memorizing a received message received by said radio paging receiver after said switch directs the start of supplying said electric power to said radio paging receiver, setting means for setting an inhibit signal into said memory when said received message is representative of a suspension of receiving operation of said radio paging receiver, judging means for judging whether said inhibit signal is set into said memory or not in response to the start of supplying said electric power to said radio paging receiver, informing means for producing a call tone and for displaying a no payment message when said judging means judges that said inhibit signal is set into said memory, and a reset switch for stopping only said call tone, said informing means stopping displaying said no payment message only when said power switch directs the stop of supplying said electric power to said radio paging receiver.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
184 words
A radio paging receiver operated by supply of electric power, said radio paging receiver comprising: a power switch for directing start and stop of supplying said electric power to said radio paging receiver, a memory for memorizing a received message received by said radio paging receiver after said switch directs the start of supplying said electric power to said radio paging receiver, setting means for setting an inhibit signal into said memory when said received message is representative of a suspension of receiving operation of said radio paging receiver, judging means for judging whether said inhibit signal is set into said memory or not in response to the start of supplying said electric power to said radio paging receiver, informing means for producing a call tone and for displaying a no payment message when said judging means judges that said inhibit signal is set into said memory, and a reset switch for stopping only said call tone, said informing means stopping displaying said no payment message only when said power switch directs the stop of supplying said electric power to said radio paging receiver.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
61 words
A radio paging receiver as claimed in claim 1, further comprising power supplying means for supplying electric power to said radio paging receiver, wherein: said informing means is for displaying said no payment message when said inhibit signal is set into said memory and when said power supplying means supplies said power to said radio paging receiver through said power switch.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
A radio paging receiver as claimed in claim 1, further comprising display reset means for erasing said no payment message on said informing means, wherein: said informing means is for displaying said no payment message when said inhibit signal is set into said memory regardless of an operation of said display reset means.
