Abstract

A method of transmitting and displaying messages applied to portable electronic devices includes the following steps: providing a handwriting interface for a sender to compose a plurality of sent-messages on a touch screen; receiving a plurality of received-messages from a receiver; providing a dialog window wherein the dialog window is adapted for placing the sent-messages and the received-messages. Moreover, each sent-message and received-message is displayed in accordance with the time of creation of each message.

Claims

1. A method of transmitting and displaying messages applied to a portable electronic device for a sender to send a sent-message to a receiver via an Internet, and then the receiver can send a received-message back to the sender via the Internet, wherein the portable electronic device comprises a touch screen, the method of message transmitting and displaying comprising the following steps:

a. providing a handwriting interface on the touch screen for the sender to compose a plurality of sent-message Icons;

b. receiving a plurality of received-message Icons from the receiver; and

c. providing a dialogue window for placing the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons, wherein the position of the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons in the dialog window is arranged in accordance with the time of creation of each message Icon.

2. The method of transmitting and displaying messages as claimed in claim 1, the dialog window further comprising a first zone and a second zone, wherein the first zone is adapted to place the plurality of sent-message Icons and the second zone is adapted to place the plurality of received-message Icons.

3. The method of transmitting and displaying messages as claimed in claim 2, wherein the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons are both displayed along a same direction in the dialog window.

4. The method of transmitting and displaying messages as claimed in claim 3, wherein the direction of displaying the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons is from the top to the bottom.

5. The method of transmitting and displaying messages as claimed in claim 4, wherein the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons are displayed in the dialog window in the form of a Memo.

6. The method of transmitting and displaying messages as claimed in claim 5, wherein the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons can be enlarged after being clicked.

7. The method of transmitting and displaying messages as claimed in claim 6, wherein the method of transmitting and displaying messages further provides a Reply Button for the sender to click after the received-message Icon is enlarged by clicking.

8. The method of transmitting and displaying messages as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons are displayed in the dialog window in the form of a Memo.

9. The method of transmitting and displaying messages as claimed in claim 8, wherein the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons can be enlarged after being clicked.

10. The method of transmitting and displaying messages as claimed in claim 9, wherein the method of transmitting and displaying messages further provides a Reply Button for the sender to click after the received-message Icon is enlarged by clicking.

11. A portable electronic device allowing a sender to send a sent-message to a receiver via an Internet, and then the receiver can send a received message back to the sender via the Internet, the portable electronic device comprising:

a touch screen;

a processor;

a memory electrically connected to the processor, the memory comprising a message-transmitting program, wherein the following functions can be accomplished while the processor executes the message-transmitting program;

a. providing a handwriting interface on the touch screen for the sender to compose a plurality of sent-message Icons;

b. receiving a plurality of received-message Icons from the receiver; and

c. providing a dialogue window for placing the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received message Icons, wherein the positions of the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons in the dialog window are arranged in accordance with the time of creation of each message Icon.

12. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 11, the dialog window further comprising a first zone and a second zone, wherein the first zone is adapted to place the plurality of sent-message Icons, and the second zone is adapted to place the plurality of received-message Icons.

13. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 12, wherein the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons are both displayed along the same direction in the dialog window.

14. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the direction of displaying the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons is from the top to the bottom.

15. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 14, wherein the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons are displayed in the dialog window in a Memo-form.

16. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 15, wherein the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons can be enlarged after being clicked.

17. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 16, wherein the portable electronic device further provides a Reply Button for the sender to click after the received-message Icon is enlarged by clicking.

18. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons are displayed in the dialog window in a Memo-form.

19. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 18, wherein the plurality of sent-message Icons and the plurality of received-message Icons can be enlarged after being clicked.

20. The portable electronic device as claimed in claim 19, wherein the portable electronic device further provides a Reply Button for the sender to click after the received-message Icon is enlarged by clicking.
