  • Method and apparatus for setting a memory full condition in a selective call receiver
    Patent number: 5488359
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimizing utilization of a memory which stores messages received in a portable communication device "40". The memory full threshold for the memory "200" is adjustable. The amount of space available in the memory "200" is determined and is compared with the memory full threshold. If the amount of space available in the memory is less than the memory full threshold, an indication is made to the user, who can opt to delete a message in order to make room in the memory. When a new message is received, if the amount of space available in the memory is less than the size of the new message, a previously stored message is deleted in order to make space for the newly received message in the memory.
