  • Patent number: 7007064
    Abstract: A wireless communication device (60) for receiving communicated content includes a receiver (125), a processor (140), a content memory (180), and a content management application (165). The receiver (125) receives a content message (260) from a wireless communication system (10). The content message (260) includes a document type (265), wherein the document type indicates that the content message (260) includes data relating to one or more communicated content portions (280). The content management application (165) processes the data relating to the one or more communicated content portions (280) and stores the data relating to the one or more communicated content portions (280) in the content memory (180).

  • Patent number: 5577045
    Abstract: A selective call receiver is provided that is capable of receiving a transmitted fragmented message and displaying the fragmented message in at least two scripts. The transmitted fragmented message includes a plurality of sequentially ordered message packets each comprising an address and message data, at least one of the message packets having a script select character within the message data. The fragmented message is received by a receiver and passed to a circuit for displaying the fragmented message in the scripts, such that a first portion of the fragmented message is displayed in one of the scripts and a second portion of the fragmented message subsequent to the script select character is displayed in another of the scripts. A retrieval circuit is capable of retrieving a garbled message fragment if a sequentially prior message fragment containing the script select character is missing from the fragmented message.

  • 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.
