DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a radio paging system pertaining to the field of radio communication, and particularly to a voice and digit compatible fifty automatic radio paging systems
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Known radio paging systems have evolved from merely uttering of some single sounds to communicate information into the communication of much more information by the use of digits, letters, and Chinese characters This system acquires the paging information to be transmitted by a paging center via a wire line telephone network, and then sequentially transmits the information via a radio lie after the information being encoded by a coder. A group of digital pagers each having a unique address code operate simultaneously, with each of them receives information associated with the address code thereof, and then informs the subscriber with alerting signs. The pager displays corresponding information in digital (or Chinese character) form when a user depresses the query key. Normally, the digital pager contains any memory to store the paging information received for reviewing by the user at any time.
However, there are limitations on the above mentioned digital pagers, when pagers using digits or letters in displaying are used in territories of non-alphabetic spelling languages (Chinese character), it is necessary to look up information with the help of a code book which is inconvenient to use; pagers using Chinese character display mode are only suitable to be used for certain specific language, and of a large word library and high cost, Radio paging code can only be generated from the wire line telephony information with manual operation at the radio paging center, thus it is difficult to realize automation, and these have caused difficulties in mass production ad application.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a voice and digit compatible fully automatic radio paging system capable of overcoming the above-mentioned problems of the prior art paging system, wherein digit (e.g. pager code, call transfer code, telephone number, etc.) and voice information can be acquired automatically by the system over the telephone network, a radio paging information library can be generated automatically, and the voice and digital paging information can be directly transmitted to a specified voice and digit compatible pager via a transmitter. The system may transmit paging information of pure digits, pure voices or hybrid of voices and digits; the system allows relatively long voice broadcast be transmitted to voice and digit compatible pagers in broadcast mode; the voice and digit compatible pager of the present invention may receive voice and digit information transmitted by a transmitter and store the corresponding data in the pager for repeatedly listening to the voice information and viewing the digital information on the pager by the subscriber, the present system also allows for the use of conventional pure digital pagers, the central paging station may reserve the voice information in a message information library, and the user may automatically inquire the voice information by the use of a wire line telephone via the message query system, such that the voice and digit compatible pager and digital pager may operate on the same network and be compatible with each other.
The voice and digit compatible fully automatic radio paging system of the present invention comprises a central radio paging station capable of automatically capturing voice and digital paging information from a telephone network, creating paging information library, as well as automatically transmitting voice or digital signal via transmitter; and a plurality of pagers, wherein the central pager station includes a telephone line interface in connection with a telephone network, a voice and digit processing means capable of dialog with the telephone caller and automatically collecting pager number, paging code, voice information etc. and generating a paging queu
