Abstract:
Methods for disseminating value-added information based on standardized code formats for radio paging services in one or more frequencies, by means of an address code which establishes the identity of a certain receiver, whereby a message carrying value-added information is transmitted to the receiver according to the type of the value-added information indicated by the receiver, wherein at least a second standard address code is provided for identifying several receivers of the radio paging service, which is transmitted in one or more frequencies used by said radio paging service, wherein the second standard address code includes:a first subaddress for control functions that enable activation or deactivation of chargeable value-added information; a second subaddress for receiving free value-added information; a third subaddress for receiving chargeable value-added information; and a fourth subaddress for receiving a value-added information subject summary comprising a subject header and a parameter for distinguishing between the free and chargeable value-added information subjects, wherein the subject summary is transmitted cyclically by a network operator for offering free and chargeable value-added information to the receiver at any time, regardless of whether the receiver has authorization to receive the individual information.
