The invention relates to a method and apparatus for generating simple patterns on a terminal and conveying them in a communications network. In the method, an element of a pattern (201, 301) consisting of elements is specified and it is assigned a code by which it is identified. The codes of the elements in a pattern are used in compiling a set of codes (303a, 303b, 303c) which describes identified elements of the pattern. The set of codes (303a, 303b, 303c) is sent into a communications network in addition to the message. The receiving device receives, in addition to the message, the set of codes (303a, 303b, 303c) containing the codes of the elements in the pattern (201, 301), which set of codes is analyzed (406) and identified. Element codes included in the set of codes (303a, 303b, 303c) are used to identify elements used to generate a pattern (201, 301).
