Abstract:
1. A communications method for enabling detection of communication errors, said method comprising: transforming a first message string into a second message string using a transformation method that enables the first message string to be presented as a picture, wherein when said picture is displayed on a display organ, such that the picture enables a viewer of said picture to discover errors that have influenced the second message string; transmitting said second message string; receiving said second message string; displaying said second message string as a picture on a display organ; comparing the picture representing the second message string with a picture representing a faultless transmission to determine if the second message string has been corrupted and a communication error has occurred, wherein the picture representing the second message string includes elements other than horizontal and vertical line segments; and taking action depending upon whether or not the second message string has been corrupted.
