message group registration mode routine. The calling subscriber
is then instructed to input a short message service center
address (step 401). If the service center address is inputted,
the subscriber is then instructed to input a group identifier
(step 404). The calling subscriber is then instructed to input a
destination address (step 407). The controller 1 then determines
if a destination address end key is selected (step 410). If it
is not selected, the calling subscriber is instructed to input
another destination address. In this manner, the calling
subscriber can input a plurality of destination addresses. If
the transmit key is selected, the controller 1 will transmit the
short message group registration information to the short message
service center 180. See pages 10 and 11 of Appellant’s
specification.
Referring now to Appellant’s figure 7, a block diagram
illustrates the short message service center. A gateway circuit
740 detects either the short message information or the short
message group registration information. See page 12 of
Appellant’s specification. If the short message signal includes

710 will execute a short message group registration mode routine
