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 hand written information, a processor (20) for processing the hand written information. The processor has an image thinner (206) for thinning each line of the hand written information, a line segment locator (208) for locating the lines of the hand written information having end points, a line segment extractor (210) for extracting the lines of the hand written information and defining the lines of the hand written information as line segments, and a line segment organizer (212) for organizing the line segments to recover the hand written information. The selective call communication system (10) also has a transmitter (30) for transmitting the line segments of hand written information to an at least one selective call receiver (40) capable of receiving facsimile information.
