International Classification:
G08B 522
US Classification:
340 755, 340 756, 4551584, 345618
Abstract:
A communication device ( ) employs a method and apparatus for indicating to a user of the communication device that only a portion of a received message ( ) can be displayed to the user. Some time after receipt of a message, the communication device displays a portion of the received message and one of at least two different truncation symbols in the event that the entire message cannot be displayed. Each truncation symbol indicates to the user a particular reason why the entire received message could not be displayed. For example, if the entire message could not be decoded reliably, the communication device displays a portion of the message and a message error truncation symbol. Alternatively, if a length of the received message exceeds an amount of memory allocated for the message, the communication device displays a portion of the message and a message length truncation symbol.
