ABSTRACT:
A selective call communication system (10) receives hand written information from a facsimile machine (14) to be delivered to a plurality of selective call receivers (40). The selective call receiver (40) is capable of receiving facsimile information and has a receiver (24) for receiving the handwritten information, a processor (20) for processing the handwritten information. The processor has an image thinner (206) for thinning each line of the handwritten information, a graph model former (208) for forming a graphical model of handwritten information, a graph model reducer (210) for simplifying the graphical model of the handwritten information into a model having a reduced number of segments corresponding to the lines of the handwritten information, and a stroke former (212) for organizing the line segments into as few strokes as possible to recover the handwritten information. A line segment encoder and formatter (214) further encodes the reduced information into relative vectors to further reduce the amount of data. The selective call communication system (10) also has a transmitter (30) for transmitting the handwritten information to at least one selective call receiver (40) capable of receiving facsimile information.
