Apparatus and method for forming and communicating a responsive data message
First Claim
1. Apparatus for a communication station operable pursuant to a data communication session in which an incoming data message is deliverable to the communication station and a response data message formable to respond to the incoming data message, said apparatus comprising:
- a determiner adapted to receive indications of the incoming data message and of the responsive data message, said determiner configured to determine differences between the incoming data message and the responsive data message;
a coder adapted to receive an indication of the differences determined by said determiner, said coder configured to form a coded message identifying the differences between the incoming and responsive data messages, respectively, and each location within the incoming data message at which the responsive data message differs with the incoming data message, the coded message for communication by the communication station.

Abstract
Apparatus, and associated method, for facilitating communication of a data message, such as an e-mail message, in a bandwidth constrained communication system. An incoming data message is delivered to a mobile station. A responsive data message is formed by inserting responsive text into the incoming data message. A determiner determines differences between the incoming and responsive data messages, and a coder forms a coded message that identifies the determined differences. The coded message, rather than the entire responsive data message is communicated by the mobile station as a response to the incoming data message.

14. Apparatus for a communication station operable to receive a coded data message responsive to an earlier-sent incoming data message, said apparatus comprising:
-
a decoder adapted to receive the coded message, said decoder configured to decode the coded message into decoded from, the decoder from having responsive data message text and a location identifier that identifies a location indicia associated with the responsive data message text;
a responsive data message recreator adapted to receive the responsive data message text and the location identifier, said responsive data message recreator configured to recreate a responsive data message formed of at least portions of the incoming data message and the responsive data message text. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A method for communicating at a communication station operable pursuant to a data communication session in which an incoming data message is deliverable to the communication station and a responsive data message is formable to respond to the incoming data message, said method comprising the operations of:
-
determining differences between the incoming data message and the responsive data message;
forming a coded message, responsive to the differences determined during said operation of determining, the coded message identifying the differences between the incoming and responsive data messages, respectively and each location within the incoming data message at which the responsive data message differs with the incoming data message, the coded message for communication by the communication station. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
