Handwritten Message Encoding with Time Data for MMS
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional Multimedia Message Service (MMS) systems cannot transmit and reproduce handwritten messages with sequential time information, resulting in the loss of vividness and sequential order of the message during transmission and reception.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that encode handwritten message information with time and location data, converting it into an image that can be transmitted and decoded to reproduce the message in its original sequential order, using a mobile terminal with an input/output unit, control unit, and radio communication unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If handwritten message is converted to image file using application, then the message can be transmitted via MMS, but the sequential time information and vivid feeling are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds multiple layers of information within a single image structure. The handwritten message, time information, and location data are nested together in such a way that the receiving terminal can extract and process each layer separately while maintaining their relationships, thus preserving sequential time information within the transmitted image
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds temporal and spatial dimensions to the traditional static image transmission. By incorporating time information and location data as additional dimensions alongside the visual handwriting information, the system enables reconstruction of the sequential writing process while maintaining compatibility with existing MMS image transmission
2Ease of operation
If conventional MMS is used for text transmission, then simple messages can be sent, but expression capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the simplicity of text-based MMS with the expressiveness of handwriting by combining both modalities in a single transmission. The system integrates handwritten message recognition with time and location information, allowing users to send messages that retain the simplicity of text communication while gaining the expressive power of handwriting
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal message transmission system that can handle multiple types of content (text, handwriting, time information, location data) through a single unified approach. The receiving terminal can process different message types and present them in appropriate formats, making the system adaptable to various communication needs

AI summary
A method for transmitting and receiving a handwritten message having time information includes generating one or more codes using handwritten message information which is sequentially input by a user, converting the handwritten message information and the one or more codes into one image and transmitting the converted image, confirming whether a received image includes the one or more codes, and if the received image includes the one or more codes, sequentially reproducing the contents of the handwritten message according to an input order of the contents of the handwritten message by analyzing the one or more codes.
