Mobile communication terminal, server, system and method for message service with font data

摘要

A mobile communication terminal, a message service server, a message service system, and a method thereof for sending and receiving a message are disclosed. In one embodiment, the mobile communication terminal includes 1) a font encoder configured to encode a font design into font data and to encode a message text into message data so as to generate combined message data which comprises the font data and message data and 2) a font decoder configured to i) separate the font data and the message data from the combined message data, and ii) reconstruct and output a message, comprising the font design, based at least in part on the separated font data and the message data. According to one embodiment, by including the font data and message data in the transmission, the receiving mobile communication terminal can display the same font design as the original font design.
