    摘要: A method is disclosed for operating a cellular communications system of a type that comprises a Base Station/Mobile Switching Center/Internetworking function (BMI) and a plurality of mobile stations. The method includes the steps of transmitting a point-to-multipoint message (e.g., a Broadcast SMS message) from the BMI to the plurality of mobile stations; and, in at least some of the plurality of mobile stations, receiving the point-to-multipoint message and transmitting an acknowledgement to the BMI using a point-to-point message. The point-to-multipoint message includes an information element having a value for specifying one of (a) that a mobile station receiving the message is prohibited from responding to the message, (b) that a mobile station receiving the message must respond to the message, and (c) that a mobile station receiving the message may optionally respond to the message. Mobile stations receiving the message selectively respond or not respond to the message, at least as a function of the value of the information element.

    摘要: This invention pertains to a method for varying the level of an alerting indicator of a radiotelephone while an incoming call is being received, and also to a radiotelephone that operates in accordance with the method. The method includes a first step of operating a user interface (22) for inputting information to a controller (20) of the radiotelephone, the information specifying that an alerting indicator volume be reduced or muted. In response to the inputted information, a second step reduces the alerting indicator volume. An alerting indicator volume that has been reduced is increased upon the termination of the incoming call signal, upon the elapse of a predetermined time period and/or in response to information inputted to the controller (20) via the user interface (22), which information specifies that the alerting indicator volume be increased. In one embodiment of the invention, the alerting indicator volume is maintained at a reduced value until information is input to the controller (20) via operation of the user interface (22), which information specifies that the alerting indicator volume be increased. In response to the inputted information, the alerting indicator volume is increased. The invention may be used in radiotelephones employing non-audio alerting indicator devices for indicating an incoming call, such as vibrating devices.

    摘要: An Easy Activation sequence for cellular phones that includes a checking code calculation feature which enables a phone owner or user to safely carry out operator assisted NAM programming activation locally in the phone independent of the support provided by the network. The user need only key in a MIN, SID, and checksum in response to appropriate prompts and obtain an indication of whether the NAM programming has been correct or not. Various other parameters, such as A-key and alphanumeric SID, may also be accomodated.

    摘要: A mobile station (10) maintains a single, prioritized list of all available networks (i.e., all public, residential, and private networks). Access to the various networks is then based on the user's needs. A first type of access is an automatic access, that requires little or no user involvement. A second type of access is to a user-specified network. A third type of access is to a user-specified service (e.g., data, fax, e-mail, etc.) that is supported by at least one of the networks. The mobile station can search for additional networks, and can also search for additional networks that support only a specified type of service, or for a network that supports a service not supported by networks that are already in the list. All of the networks can be searched at once so that the user can readily make a selection from the single, prioritized network list. The network priorities are user programmable by moving network names up and down in the list using a mobile station user interface, such as the mobile station's keypad. The higher the network name is placed in the list, the higher is the priority of the network.

    摘要: A cellular radiotelephone (10) includes a keypad (22) having a plurality of keys (22a, 22b) and a display device (20) for displaying information, including messages, to a user. A method includes the steps of: (a) transmitting a short message service (SMS) message from a network (32) to the cellular radiotelephone; (b) receiving the SMS message from the network and storing the message in a memory (24) of the cellular radiotelephone; (c) presenting the stored SMS message to a user; (d) determining if the presented SMS message requires a manual acknowledgment by the user and, if so, monitoring an output of the keypad to detect a single key depression by the user. The method further includes a step of (e) determining if the user's single key depression is a correct manual acknowledgement and, if so, automatically generating and transmitting to the network a SMS manual acknowledgement message that includes an identification of the single key depressed by the user.
