Apparatus and method for reproducing handwritten message by using handwriting data

An apparatus for transmitting a handwritten message using handwriting data, the apparatus comprising:

• an input/output unit configured to receive an input of the handwritten message from a user;
• a controller configured to generate, from the received input, a handwriting image including a field for handwriting data, and a field for a still image data, the handwriting data including position information and time information of the handwritten message, the still image data including pixel values associated with the handwritten message;
• and
• a radio communication unit configured to transmit the handwriting image,
• wherein the still image data and the handwriting data are stored separately in the handwriting image, and the handwriting data included in the handwriting image is for sequentially reproducing the handwritten message in a receiving side.

A method for reproducing a handwritten message using handwriting data, the method comprising:

• receiving a handwriting image,
• the handwriting image including a field for a handwriting data, and a field for a still image data, the handwriting data including position information and time information of the handwritten message, and the still image data including pixel values associated with the handwritten message, wherein the still image data and the handwriting data are stored separately in the handwriting image;
• and
• if the handwriting data is included in the handwriting image,
• sequentially reproducing the handwritten message according to the handwriting data.
