1. A method of transmitting information, comprising the steps of:
- sampling a set of data, thereby acquiring digital data;
converting said digital data to a format acceptable to a paging network, thereby creating a binary data stream in a non-graphical form;
transmitting said binary data stream over said paging network;
receiving said binary data stream;
unconverting said binary data stream, thereby creating said digital data; and
processing said digital data.

Abstract
A method of sending acquired graphical data over an alphanumeric paging service. The data is compressed, split into and blocks of a size which the paging service can handle, and transferred to the paging service. The paging service transmits the data to a wireless receiver attached to a computer. The computer displays the information on its display, and can further process the data.
