Abstract:
1. A method for prioritizing cell broadcast messages for presentation on a display of a mobile communications device in accordance with a dynamic priority scheme, the method comprising: loading the dynamic priority scheme into a memory of the mobile communications device, the dynamic priority scheme comprising at least two logic groups, each of which is assigned a priority level and each of which includes a plurality of cell broadcast channels (CBCHs), wherein each CBCH is associated with at least one of a plurality of message content types; receiving, at the mobile communications device, a cell broadcast message via a serving CBCH of the CBCHs, the cell broadcast message comprising message content and a cell broadcast message header with a message content identifier used to identify the message content as one of the plurality of message content types; determining, at the mobile communications device, based upon the message content identifier, a received message content type of the message content; comparing, at the mobile communications device, the received message content type to all message content types currently associated with the serving CBCH; determining, at the mobile communications device, that the received message content type is not currently associated with the serving CBCH; and updating, at the mobile communications device, the dynamic priority scheme to associate the received message content type with the serving CBCH.
