Abstract
Methods are disclosed for processing a primary information object that may contain a graphical representation of a handwritten message. Image areas of the primary information object may be identified, based on the display characteristics of a display on which the message is intended to be shown. The image areas may contain parts of a handwritten message if such a message is included in the primary information object. A secondary information object containing one of the image areas may be created and transmitted to a recipient device.
Claims35
A method for transmitting a graphical object over a network, the method comprising:
- identifying at least one display characteristic of a recipient device;
- identifying image areas of the graphical object apportioned to match the at least one display characteristic;
- creating at least one secondary graphical object including one of the image areas;
- and
- transmitting the at least one secondary graphical object over the network to the recipient device.
A method for displaying a graphical object, comprising:
- receiving, at a mobile station wirelessly connected to a network, the graphical object from over the network;
- identifying image areas of the graphical object apportioned to match display characteristics of the mobile station;
- and
- showing at least one of the image areas on a display of the mobile station.
A method of customizing a transmission of graphical material to a characteristic of an intended recipient's display device, the method comprising:
- enabling the sending of, prior to transmission of the graphical material, at least one signal reflective of a request for identification of at least one display characteristic of the intended recipient's display device;
- enabling a reply to said at least one signal reflective of the intended recipient's at least one display characteristic;
- enabling the formatting of a format of the graphical material to be customized to the intended recipient's display characteristic;
- enabling transmission to the intended recipient of the graphical material in a format customized for the intended recipient's display device;
- and
- enabling display on the intended recipient's display device of the custom formatted graphical material.
A method of customizing a transmission of graphical material to a characteristic of an intended recipient's display device, the method comprising:
- enabling the sending of, prior to transmission of the graphical material, at least one signal reflective of a request for identification of at least one display characteristic of the intended recipient's display device;
- enabling a reply to said at least one signal reflective of the intended recipient's at least one display characteristic;
- enabling the dividing of the graphical material into subparts, each subpart being customized to the intended recipient's display characteristic;
- enabling the transmission of the subparts to the intended recipient;
- and
- enabling the display of the subparts on the intended recipient's display device.
