Abstract
A first mobile terminal comprising a screen configured to display a first window for displaying messages communicated between the first terminal and a second terminal; a user interface, wherein a user may interact with the user interface to update content in a first message displayed in the first window, wherein the first message is previously communicated to and displayed on the second terminal; a processor for detecting updated information and constructing an update packet comprising information about the updated information; and a transmitter for transmitting the update packet to the second terminal to cause a corresponding content update in the first message previously displayed on the second terminal.
Claims10
A method for correcting text message displayed on terminals communicating over an instant messaging communication network, the method comprising:
- inputting a text message in a viewing window of a first terminal;
- transmitting a first packet having the inputted text message to a second terminal by way of an instant messaging communication;
- correcting a corresponding letter in the text message, using the first terminal, in response to recognizing a typing error in the text message transferred to the second terminal over the instant messaging communication;
- and
- transmitting from the first terminal to the second terminal a second packet comprising information related to the corrected letter, so that the text message displayed in a viewing window of the second terminal is updated with the corrected letter,
- wherein the second packet comprises information related to the corrected letter excluding other content of the text message;
- wherein the corrected letter is displayed in a specific way different from displaying of non-corrected letters in the text message based on the information related to the corrected letter;
- and
- wherein the specific way includes making the corresponding text bold, colored, blinking and underlined.
A method for correcting a text message displayed on terminals communicating over in an instant messaging communication network, the method comprising:
- in responding to:
- a first terminal selecting an erroneous letter displayed in a viewing window, wherein the erroneous letter is in a location in the text message communicated between a user of the first terminal and a user of the second terminal;
- the first terminal correcting the erroneous letter;
- and
- the first terminal transmitting a packet containing information related to the corrected letter to the second terminal,
- receiving a packet from the first terminal;
- and
- correcting the previously transmitted text message based on information related to the corrected letter contained in the packet, wherein the packet contains only information related to the corrected letter
- wherein the corrected letter is displayed in a specific way different from displaying of non-corrected letters in the text message based on the information related to the corrected letter:
- and
- wherein the specific way includes making the corresponding text bold, colored, blinking and underlined.
A first mobile terminal comprising:
- a screen for displaying a text message having an erroneous letter displayed in a viewing window, wherein the erroneous letter is in a location in the text message communicated between a user of the first mobile terminal and a user of the second terminal;
- a user interface for correcting the erroneous letter in the text message of the viewing window;
- a processor for forming a packet containing information related to the corrected letter;
- and
- a transmitter for transmitting the packet so that the text message displayed in a viewing window of the second terminal is corrected by the information related to the corrected letter, wherein the packet contains only information related to the corrected letter;
- wherein the second terminal displays the corrected letter in a specific way different from displaying of non-corrected letters in the text message based on the information related to the corrected letter, and
- wherein the specific way includes making the corresponding text bold, colored, blinking and underlined.
