ABSTRACT:
Alternative notification methods for a portable wireless receiver that is able to receive paging objects (i.e., data objects) in addition to conventional alphanumeric page messages. When a paging object is received, the user may be notified of the receipt of the paging object using a visual alert or an audible alert. The user can selectively determine whether the sender of the page object will be allowed to determine the type of audible and/or visual notification provided the user. Various parameters associated with each type of directory in which page objects are stored and with the page objects indicate the preferences of the user and the sender for notifying the user of the receipt of the page object. The invention is also applicable to other types of portable wireless data receivers, such as a cell phone.
