(54) | Prioritization of stored messages in a digital voice paging receiver |
(57) A device and method are disclosed for saving stored messages in a digital stored
voice paging receiver (10). The digital stored voice paging receiver (10) includes
a plurality of message slots, each slot capable of storing a digitized voice message.
A status value associated with a message slot is representative of the status of the
message in the slot. A first embodiment of the method stores messages in the message
slots by chronologically replacing older messages. A second embodiment of the method
orders the stored messages in a predetermined priority. A stored message is replaced
by an incoming message when the incoming message priority status is greater than the
stored message priority status. |
