Abstract
A method for providing visual effect messages on a receiving end and associated transmitting end configuration is provided. At the transmitting end, visual effect positions and visual effects of messages are determined according to an input message. The visual effect positions and visual effect information are transmitted to the receiving end, and are displayed at the visual effect positions at the receiving end according to the visual information.
Claims23
A method for providing a visual effect message in a communication system, the communication system comprising a transmitting end and a receiving end, the method comprising:
- inputting a user input message at the transmitting end, wherein the user input message is either a graph or a text comprising a plurality of letters;
- defining a plurality of visual effect positions in each letter of the text according to shape of the letter, or defining a plurality of visual effect positions in the graph according to shape of the graph;
- providing a plurality of visual effect information corresponding to each of the visual effect positions;
- transmitting the plurality of visual effect positions and the plurality of visual effect information from the transmitting end to the receiving end;
- rendering a visual effect message at the receiving end by displaying the plurality of visual effect information at each of the plurality of visual effect positions;
- and
- displaying the visual effect message at the receiving end.
A communication system for providing a visual effect message, comprising:
- an input module, for inputting a user input message, wherein the user input message is either a graph or a text comprising a plurality of letters;
- a visual effect editing module, for defining a plurality of visual effect positions in each letter of the text according to shape of the letter, or defining a plurality of visual effect positions in the graph according to shape of the graph, and further providing a plurality of visual effect information corresponding to each of the visual effect positions;
- and
- a first communication module, for transmitting the plurality of visual effect positions and the plurality of visual effect information according to a communication protocol corresponding to the communication system to a receiving end, such that a visual effect message is rendered at the receiving end by displaying the plurality of visual effect information at each of the plurality of visual effect positions.
A transmitting end in a communication system for providing a visual effect message, comprising:
- a touch screen for inputting a user input message, wherein the user input message is either a graph or a text comprising a plurality of letters;
- and
- a visual effect editing module coupled to the touch screen, for defining a plurality of visual effect positions in each letter of the text according to shape of the letter, or defining a plurality of visual effect positions in the graph according to shape of the graph, and further providing a plurality of visual effect information corresponding to each of the visual effect positions;
- wherein, the touch screen displays a visual effect message, and the visual effect message is rendered by displaying the plurality of visual effect information at each of the plurality of visual effect positions.
