Claim Text:
1. A generic data-compression system comprising a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, two or more communications interfaces, at least one of which is wireless, and a computer-readable hardware storage device coupled to the processor and containing program code configured to be run by the processor via the memory to implement a method for generic data compression, the method comprising: the processor directly or indirectly receiving data captured by a medical-monitoring device, wherein the monitoring device monitors a physical condition of a patient, wherein the received data characterizes the monitored physical condition, and wherein the processor receives the data through a first interface of the two or more communications interfaces; the processor transforming the received data, wherein the transforming comprises encoding the received data into a sequence of ASCII characters, the processor transmitting the sequence of ASCII characters to a target device through a second interface of the two or more communications interfaces, wherein the transmitting is performed by means of a wireless text-messaging protocol, and wherein the target device is configured to reverse the transforming in order to extract from the ASCII characters a reproduction of the data captured by the medical-monitoring device.
