Patent US 5,652,572

A radio pager capable of displaying a message implemented as a fixed sentence includes a radio section for receiving and demodulating a paging signal. A first storage stores a plurality of address numbers allocated to the pager, and a comparing section compares an address number included in the demodulated paging signal with each of the address numbers stored in the first storage, and outputs, if the address number included in the demodulated paging signal is identical with any of the address numbers stored in the first storage, the address number included in the demodulated paging signal as an address number assigned to the pager while writing message data following the address number in a message memory. A second storage stores a plurality of tables each listing a particular kind of fixed sentences. A third storage stores correspondence between the address numbers allocated to the pager and the tables. A message processing section selects, based on the stored correspondence, one of the tables corresponding to the address number assigned to the pager, and selects one of the fixed sentences corresponding to the message data written to the message memory on the basis of stored correspondence. A display section displays the fixed sentence selected.
