Method and system for handwritten electronic messaging

This describes a system for sending handwritten messages using electronic devices like mobile phones. A user writes on a touchscreen, and their handwriting is captured as an image, then sent wirelessly to a recipient. The recipient can view it instantly or later, and can reply with typed text or their own handwriting. The core invention focuses on a user replying to a received text message with a handwritten message, specifically while the original text is still displayed on their screen.

Why it matters: Filed before modern smartphones made touchscreens and rich media messaging ubiquitous. The specific interaction of replying to a text message with handwriting, while the original text is displayed, is now a common feature in many messaging applications.
