Abstract

Abstract A communication system is provided in which one data transmitting display terminal (10) has the capability of transmitting a data stream in coded form to at least one data receiving terminal (11) over a communication linkage (12). This data transmitting terminal (10) further includes the capability of displaying, when necessary, the stream of coded data directly on its display so that if there is a transmission problem, the coded data itself can be analyzed in diagnosing the problem. The present communications system has the further capability of diagnosing data streams at remote display terminals. For example, if one transmitting terminal (10) is communicating with a receiving terminal (11) and a problem arises between the two terminals, the system provides the capability of the transmitting terminal (10) sending the data stream to another receiving terminal remote from the first two terminals. This remote receiving terminal is a display terminal having the capability of displaying the received stream of coded data whereby the problems between the two communicating terminals may be diagnosed at a remote location where better engineering support may be available.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 82 words
Data communication system with terminal for displaying the coded stream of data being transmitted comprising at least one data transmitting display terminal (10) having means (13) for transmitting a stream of data in coded form, at least one data receiving terminal (11) adapted to receive said transmitted data, and a communication link (12) between said transmitting and receiving terminals, characterized in that said data transmitting terminal further includes means for displaying the stream of coded data directly on said transmitting display terminal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 82 words
Data communication system with terminal for displaying the coded stream of data being transmitted comprising at least one data transmitting display terminal (10) having means (13) for transmitting a stream of data in coded form, at least one data receiving terminal (11) adapted to receive said transmitted data, and a communication link (12) between said transmitting and receiving terminals, characterized in that said data transmitting terminal further includes means for displaying the stream of coded data directly on said transmitting display terminal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 42 words
Data communications system according to claim 1 characterized in that said receiving terminal (11) is a display terminal, and it further includes means (17) associated with said receiving terminal for displaying the stream of coded data directly on said receiving display terminal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 42 words
Data communication system according to claim 1 characterized in that said receiving terminal (11) is a remote display terminal, and means are provided in said remote terminal for displaying a duplicate of the coded data stream displayed on said transmitting display terminal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 30 words
Data communication system according to any one of the proceding claims characterized in that said data transmitting terminal is a word processing display terminal, including means for displaying alphanumeric data.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 30 words
Data communication system according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said data receiving terminal is a word processing display terminal including means for displaying alphanumeric data.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 38 words
Data communications system according to claims 4 or 5 characterized in that at least one of said word processing display terminals has printing means (120) associated therewith, and further including means for printing said stream of coded data.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 37 words
Data communication system according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said transmitting display terminal (10) has means for selectively changing to and from the coded data stream and formatted alphanumerical data display modes.
