ABSTRACT:
The system of the present invention processes data for communication between first and second computers by linearizing the communications message. The message comprises a linear header portion, an extended header portion, and a message body. The linear header portion identifies the number of message recipients and message types. The extended header contains detailed information about the message recipients, such as recipient name and address. The extended header may also contain message subject information, polling information, and password data. The header information is used by the receiving computer to prepare to process the expected data type. The message body may be transferred in a form that takes advantage of the data processing capabilities of the first and second computers. The computers may exchange data processing capabilities so that the most efficient transfer form may be selected. The extended header and message body are encoded using a well-known ASN-1 data encoding process. In addition, the message body may be compressed and encrypted. The system may be readily used in facsimile communication where the first and second computers are facsimile machines.
