Abstract: An electronic alert apparatus comprises a radio frequency receiver configured to receive and identify an emergency message preamble that indicates an impending transmission of an emergency message sent at a first data rate and an emergency message addressed to a shared device address sent at a second data rate. The electronic alert apparatus also includes a processor operatively connected to the radio frequency receiver and configured to decode the encoded emergency message. A memory is operatively connected to the processor and configured to store the decoded emergency message. A display is operatively connected to the controller and configured to present the decoded emergency message. A power source is configured to supply electrical power to the processor, and a housing is configured to at least partially enclose the processor, the memory, and the power source.

Abstract: The wireless data management system is a digital wireless communication system for use in the hospitality industry. The system has several components, including a host station, which is a computerized station that collects, processes and manages data and is the primary control center. The host station houses software programs for management of seating, zoning, and timing. The programs are designed for communication, control, and interaction with one or more of the components of the system, including a table transmitter, station transmitter, mobile receiver, and wireless data controller. The table transmitter is used by customers to send specific requests. The station transmitter is used by the kitchen and bar areas to notify staff of completed customer orders. The mobile receiver, which is small, mobile and wireless, is capable of receiving alpha-numeric messages from table transmitters, station transmitters, and the host station. The wireless data controller receives, amplifies, and transmits data signals.
