First Claim
1. A method of automatically transmitting images to a low display ability terminal, at least one of the images comprising at least one text zone having a character string, the method comprising the steps of:
- searching for text zones inside an image frame of an original image;
recognizing each individual text zone comprising a single character string;
assigning to each individual text zone a unique identifier;
replacing each character string in the original image by its related unique identifier to obtain a modified image; and
joining in an image entity the modified image and each character string preceded by its unique identifier forming a text zone in a presentation, wherein the text zone is located outside a further frame of the modified image, such that the modified image is displayed with a first enlargement coefficient and the text zones are displayed with at least one second enlargement coefficient different than that used for the modified image.

Abstract
A method to transmit drawings or images comprising text to low display ability terminals, and more particularly to cellular phones or equivalent mobile devices. The transmission is possible in the best conditions and automatically. The transmission enables the consultation or display by the user of these drawings or images comprising text, on a low display ability terminal. These images can have the form of a plate of several images or an individual image comprising text. This operation is possible by automatically transforming the drawings or images via image analysis into image entities formed by an image zone and a text zone; and without requiring any extra work by the publisher or author of the drawings or images comprising text.
