generating a data file including the text message, the font information and the image file.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting the data file to a receiving device via a network.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the emotion attribute is further based, at least in part, on at least one of contents of the text message, a size of the first part, text writing speed of the user, text writing pressure of the user, line alignment of the first part, size regularity of the first part, a number of typing errors included in the first part, an emoticon included in the first part, or a symbol included in the first part.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fonts for the identified user are stored in a font database.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the font database includes a cloud data center.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

recognizing additional information including at least one of a size of the first part, a color of the first part, or a thickness of the first part, and

wherein the data file further includes the additional information.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying of the user is based, at least in part, on at least one of the font of the first part or an identifier of the handwriting input device.

8. A method performed under control of a receiving device, comprising:

receiving a data file including a text message of a first part of a handwritten input, a font information regarding a font of the first part, and an image file corresponding to a second part including an image included in the handwritten input, the data file being generated by a handwriting input device;

selecting the font of the first part based, at least in part, on the font information, the font of the first part being selected from a plurality of fonts for a user of the handwriting input device; and

generating the first part based, at least in part, on the text message and the font of the first part,

wherein the font information is based, at least in part, on an emotion attribute of the user of the handwriting input device.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of fonts for the user of the handwriting input device are stored in a font database.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the font database includes a cloud data center.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises:

restoring the second part based, at least in part, on the image file; and

combining the generated first part and the restored second part.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the data file further includes additional information including at least one of a size of the first part, a color of the first part, or thickness of the first part, and the method further comprises:

applying the additional information to the generated first part.

13. A handwriting input device, comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive a handwritten input including a first part including a text message and a second part including an image;

a text message recognition unit configured to recognize the text message from the first part;

a user identification unit configured to identify a user of the handwritten input;

an emotion attribute determination unit configured to determine an emotion attribute of the identified user based, at least in part, on the handwritten input;

a font information determination unit configured to determine a font information regarding a font of the first part based, at least in part, on the emotion attribute, the font of the first part being selected from a plurality of fonts for the identified user;

an image file compression unit configured to compress the second part into an image file; and

a data file generation unit configured to generate a data file including the text message, the font information and the image file.

14. The device of claim 13 , further comprising:

a transmitting unit configured to transmit the data file to a receiving device via a network.

15. The device of claim 13 , wherein the emotion attribute determination unit determines the emotion attribute based, at least in part, on at least one of contents of the text message, a size of the first part, text writing speed of the user, text writing pressure of the user, line alignment of the first part, size regularity of the first part, a number of typing errors included in the first part, an emoticon included in the first part, or a symbol included in the first part.

16. The device of claim 13 , further comprising:

an additional information recognition unit configured to recognize additional information including at least one of a size of the first part, a color of the first part, or thickness of the first part, and

wherein the data file further includes the additional information.

17. The device of claim 13 , wherein the user identification unit identifies the user based, at least in part, on at least one of the font of the first part, or an identifier of the handwriting input device.

18. The device of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of fonts for the identified user are stored in a font database.

19. The device of claim 18 , wherein the font database includes a cloud data center.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a handwriting input device to perform operations, comprising:

receiving a handwritten input including a first part including a text message and a second part including an image;

segmenting the handwritten input into the first part and the second part;
