ABSTRACT:
The present subject matter discloses a method for transmitting a text message including: receiving a text message to be transmitted, which is encoded with a first character set encoding scheme; determining whether a final receiver of the text message supports the first character set encoding scheme; and in response to the situation in which the final receiver of the text message does not support the first character set encoding scheme: converting the text message to be transmitted into an image; and transmitting the converted image. With this method, parties involved in transmission of a text message can enable convenient and efficient transmission of the text message without requiring each party involved in the transmission of the text message to satisfy specific prerequisites normally necessary for proper reproduction of the text message transmitted from an opposite party. One of the specific prerequisites is that the parties involved in the real time communication should support a specific character set encoding scheme. The subject matter further provides a device for transmitting a text message capable of implementing the method for transmitting a text message, a device for processing a text message provided with the device for transmitting a text message, and a system for transmitting a text message through the device for processing a text message.
