In the present invention, a communication system is disclosed. The communication system comprises a remote computer 20 and a local computer 40, linked by communication link 12. The local computer 40 operates a conventional alphanumeric communication program 42 which receives alphanumeric data from the remote computer 20. The local computer 40 also comprises a supervisory program 56 which is Terminate and Stay Resident in memory, and which interrupts the operation of the alphanumeric communication program 42. When a particular command query is generated from the remote computer 20, the supervisory program 56 causes the local computer 40 to respond thereto, indicating the capabilities of the local computer 40 for graphical data display. When graphical data, which has been compressed and encoded in alphanumeric format is transmitted by the remote computer 20 and is received by the local computer 40, and stored in a first memory 44, the local computer 40 decodes the alphanumeric format and decompresses to regenerate the original graphical data. The original graphical data is then stored in a second memory 54 and the display unit 48 is directed to receive the graphical data and to display on the display unit 48.
In an improvement to a local computer linked to communicate with a remote computer, said local computer having means for communicating with said remote computer by transmitting data in alphanumeric format to and receiving data ("received data") in alphanumeric format from said remote computer, wherein said remote computer generating an inquiry to said local computer encoded in said received data, the improvement to said local computer comprising:
In an improvement to a local computer having a first memory means for storing alphanumeric data and display means for displaying said alphanumeric data, said local computer linked to communicate with a remote computer, and having means for communicating with said remote computer by transmitting alphanumeric data to and receiving alphanumeric data ("received alphanumeric data") from said remote computer and storing said received alphanumeric data in said first memory means, wherein the improvement to said local computer comprising:
A system for transmitting and receiving graphical data from a remote computer to a local computer comprising:
A method of displaying graphical data on a local computer received from a remote computer, wherein said local computer having an alphanumeric communication program for communicating with said remote computer by transmitting data in an alphanumeric format to and receiving data in said alphanumeric format ("received data") from said remote computer, a first memory means for storing said received data, and a display means for displaying said received data from said first memory means, said method comprising:
An apparatus for displaying graphical data on a local computer received from a remote computer, wherein said local computer having an alphanumeric communication program for communicating with said remote computer by transmitting data in an alphanumeric format to and receiving data in said alphanumeric format ("received data") from said remote computer, a first memory means for storing said received data, and a display means for displaying said received data from said first memory means, said apparatus comprising:
