Abstract
A wireless terminal (and associated method) for communicating pictures via a wireless communication system. The pictures can be either maintained in the wireless terminal in galleries, each gallery including typically up to eight pictures, or the pictures can be stand-alone pictures. When maintained in galleries and stored in non-volatile memory of the wireless terminal, in an electronic folder, the pictures are termed clip-art pictures. The invention allows sending an entire gallery at a time as, among other formats, a single so-called Graphical Messaging System (GMS) picture (18×72 pixels). The invention also allows sending individual clip-art pictures in a message including text, actually in-line with the text of the message or indicating where in the text the clip-art pictures would appear in a wireless terminal adapted to the invention. In addition, the invention provides a picture editor allowing a user to create or edit either a clip-art or a standalone picture.
