receiving a key-stroke event, of the e-card sender, which is detected by a keyboard sensor.

10. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

within a determined time period, according to the geographical position information of the e-card sender, searching, by the card server, a user geographical position information database to determine an identifier of an adjacent user the geographical distance from which to the e-card sender is less than a predetermined distance value;

gathering determined identifiers of adjacent users into a list of identifies of adjacent users; and

sending the list of identifies of adjacent users to the e-card sender.

11. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

verifying, by the card server, whether the fingerprint of the user of the e-card sender is consistent with an authorized fingerprint, and when the fingerprint of the user of the e-card sender is consistent with an authorized fingerprint, sending, by the card server, the e-card of the e-card sender to the e-card receiver corresponding to the identifier.

12. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

verifying, by the card server, whether the iris of the user of the e-card sender is consistent with an authorized iris, and when the iris of the user of the e-card sender is consistent with an authorized iris, sending, by the card server, the e-card of the e-card sender to the e-card receiver corresponding to the identifier.

13. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

verifying, by the card server, whether the IEMI of the e-card sender is legal, and when the IEMI of the e-card sender is legal, sending, by the card server, the e-card of the e-card sender to the e-card receiver corresponding to the identifier.

14. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

verifying, by the card server, whether the password of the screen saver settings inputted by the user of the e-card sender is correct, and when the password of the screen saver settings inputted by the user of the e-card sender is correct, sending, by the card server, the e-card of the e-card sender to the e-card receiver corresponding to the identifier.

15. A device for transmitting an e-card, comprising:
