1. A method for transmitting emotions in accordance with a touch pressure, a touch area and a touch time period, the method comprising:
- detecting at least one of the magnitude of the touch pressure, touch area, and touch time period of a touch input to a touch screen;
determining a first characteristic of a plurality of characteristics of a pre-existing message to be changed in response to the detected at least one of the magnitude of the touch pressure, touch area, and touch time period;
changing the first characteristic of the pre-existing message in accordance with the detected at least one of the magnitude of the touch pressure, touch area, and touch time period; and
transmitting the pre-existing message with the changed first characteristic,wherein the touch input on the touch screen is on the preexisting message.

Abstract
A method for transmitting emotions in accordance with a touch pressure, a touch area and a touch time period may include: determining characteristics of a message; detecting at least one of the magnitude of the touch pressure, touch area, and touch time period of the touch when the touch is input to a touch screen of a sender'"'"'s terminal; changing state information of the characteristics in accordance with at least one of the detected magnitude of the touch pressure, touch area, and touch time period of the touch; and transmitting the message including the changed state information.

15. A terminal for transmitting emotions in accordance with a touch pressure, a touch area and a touch time period, the terminal comprising:
-
a touch screen; a communication module; a processor which detects at least one of a magnitude of the touch pressure and touch area of the touch input to the touch screen; and a controller which determines a first characteristic of a pre-existing message in response to the at least one of the magnitude of the touch pressure and touch area of the touch, changes the first characteristic of the pre-existing message from first characteristics to second characteristics in accordance with the at least one of the magnitude of the touch pressure and touch area of the touch, and transmits the pre-existing message with the changed first characteristic through the communication module, wherein the touch input on the touch screen is on the preexisting message.
