Abstract:
A call reception control method applied to a wide area radio pager, comprising the steps of:(a) setting a receiving channel of the radio pager by a home channel, which is a channel associated with an area originally registered as a service area for the radio pager, and then waiting for a reception of radio call signals;(b) determining whether or not area movement identification data is received from a system associated with the radio pager, and if it is determined that area movement identification data from the system is received, then recognizing a situation, in which an area movement of the radio pager is to occur, while storing an area code carried in the received area movement identification data;(c) determining whether or not an area movement of the radio pager occurs;(d) if it is determined that an area movement of the radio pager occurs, then alternately changing the receiving channel of the radio pager to the home channel and a call switch channel, which is a channel associated with an area represented by the stored area code, until a call signal is received; and(e) if a call signal is received via the call switch channel, then determining the area movement of the radio pager to be completed and setting the receiving channel of the radio pager by a channel associated with the area at which the area movement of the radio pager is completed.
