Abstract: This invention relates to an ideographical character signalling system, such as an ideographical character paging system, comprising: input means for inputting a plurality of first and second different types of ideographical characters, said input means including coding means for coding both said first and second types of ideographical characters according to a first code; signal processing means for receiving a data signal comprising said first and second types of ideographical characters coded according to said first code, said signal processing means comprising code converting means for selectively coding the coded first type of ideographical characters according to a second standard code.

Abstract: A selective call receiver, such as a pager, stores an incoming message without interrupting the operation of the receiver. One set of data items displayed on a display of the receiver is updated independent of another set of data items. The updating function allows for the display of display formats such as forms and tables, wherein only the information needed to fill in the table is transmitted, the header information being retained from one update to the next.
