Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a method for processing information in a wireless local loop (WLL) terminal and a WLL terminal. According to the present invention, a WLL terminal comprises a display device, and character-based information, first data, is converted to second data for displaying it on the display. Said first data is advantageously converted in such a manner that a bitmap (222) is first formed on the basis of the character-based first data and then a line code (223) is formed on the basis of said bitmap. The line code is transferred (224, 225) by means of known facsimile transmission technology to a fax machine serving as a display device and displayed by the fax machine (226). The invention can be applied in wireless local loops to implement services that use information in character format. Such services include the short message service and display of caller data, for example.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
A method for processing information in a WLL terminal, characterized in that said information is stored (221, 231) in the WLL terminal as character-based first
data, said information stored as character-based first data is converted (222, 223) in the
WLL terminal to second data to be displayed on a displaying means, and said information is displayed (226) on a displaying means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1, characterized in that said information is received (201)
in the WLL terminal from a WLL system.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
The method of claim 1 or 2, characterized in that said first data is converted
(222, 223) to the second data in such a manner that a bitmap (31) is first formed
(222) on the basis of the character-based first data and then a line code (32) is
formed (223) on the basis of said bitmap.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 3, characterized in that said conversion (222, 223) is
performed one displayed character line at a time.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
39 words
The method of any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said
second data comprises line codes (32) that include a start character, at least one
character representing the lengths of black/white pixel sequences, and an end
character.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
28 words
The method of any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said
second data is coded to a voice-frequency signal to be transferred to said displaying
means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
A WLL terminal, characterized in that it comprises means (415, 419) for storing
information as character-based first data, displaying means (402) for displaying said
information, and means (412) for converting said first data to second data to be
displayed by said displaying means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
The WLL terminal of claim 7, characterized in that it comprises means (412) for
converting said information to third data for transferring said information to said
displaying means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
19 words
The WLL terminal of claim 7 or 8, characterized in that said displaying means
(402) is a fax machine.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
35 words
The WLL terminal of claims 8 and 9, characterized in that it comprises means
(402, 412, 417, 418) for establishing a connection and for transferring said
information to said fax machine as a voice-frequency signal.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
27 words
The WLL terminal of any one of claims 7 to 10, characterized in that it
comprises means (412) for converting the first data to a bitmap (31).
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
25 words
The WLL terminal of claim 11, characterized in that it comprises means (412)
for converting said bitmap to second data in line code format (32).
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
26 words
The WLL terminal of any one of claims 7 to 12, characterized in that said
displaying means (402) is an integral part of said WLL terminal.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
30 words
The WLL terminal of any one of claims 7 to 13, characterized in that it
comprises means (412, 413, 414) for receiving said information from a WLL
system base station.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
39 words
The use of the method of any one of claims 1 to 6 or of the WLL terminal of
any one of claims 7 to 14 for displaying short messages, incoming call phone
number information or system status information.
