Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for communicating in a symbol based graphic language are described. In one embodiment, a symbol communication system includes a symbol communication server, a user interface module and a symbol module. The symbol communication server is associated with a communication network and is configured to support the symbol communication language. The user interface module is supported by the symbol communication server. Also the user interface module can be utilized for initiating an action associated with one or more symbol parameters, where the one or more symbol parameters constitute at least a portion of the symbol communication language. The symbol module is associated with the symbol communication server and is configured to process information relating to the one or more symbol parameters according to the initiated action.
