Automated short message formatting commanded by embedded specialty codes

摘要

A mobile communication device. The mobile communication device comprises a long-range radio transceiver, a processor, a memory, an input device, and an application, stored in the memory. When executed by the processor the application receives input from the input device, wherein the input comprises text symbols having an initial format and at least one specialty code, creates a short message comprising the text symbols formatted in a transmission format based on a formatting command identified by the at least one specialty code, wherein the transmission format is different from the initial format, and transmits the short message via the long-range radio transceiver.

1. A mobile communication device, comprising:
a long-range radio transceiver; a processor; a memory; an input device; an application, stored in the memory, that when executed by the processor:
receives input from the input device comprising text symbols having an initial format and at least one formatting specialty code corresponding to a desired transmission format for the text symbols, wherein transmission formats that are available for selection as the desired transmission format according to the at least one formatting specialty code comprise setting the text symbols preceding the formatting specialty code in upper case, adding a space between each of the text symbols, and inserting a line break after every blank space text symbol, and wherein the at least one formatting specialty code specifies one of the transmission formats, creates a short message comprising the text symbols formatted in the desired transmission format based on a formatting command identified by the at least one formatting specialty code, wherein the desired transmission format is different from the initial format, and transmits the short message via the long-range radio transceiver.
