Abstract

One embodiment disclosed herein relates to a method for exchanging multimedia messages between a first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal that are connected to a communication network, the method comprising the implementation, by a processor of the first terminal, of a process comprising receiving, from the network, a first multimedia message transmitted by the second terminal, the first multimedia message including at least one media item, restoring and modifying the media item in a user interface depending on the actions of a user, and sending a second multimedia message including the modified media to the second terminal.

Claims (26)

1. A method for exchanging Multimedia Message Service type multimedia messages between a first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal connected to a communication network, the method comprising the implementation, by a data processor of the first terminal, of a process comprising:

receiving from the network a first multimedia message of Multimedia Message Service type as defined by 3GPP emitted by the second terminal, the first multimedia message comprising at least one content, wherein at least one content is an image;

rendering the at least one content on the first terminal;

modification of the at least one content in a user interface on the first terminal according to the actions of a user to generate modified content; and

sending of a second multimedia message of Multimedia Message Service type as defined by 3GPP comprising the modified content to the second terminal,

wherein the user interface allows the display of the images included in the multimedia messages exchanged between the first and second terminals.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the user interface comprises graphics editing tools for implementing said rendering and modification, the image being displayed on the user interface in real time while it is being modified.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said first terminal comprises a touch-sensitive screen for implementing said user interface of the first terminal, said user actions being touch actions.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission of multimedia messages over the network is implemented in accordance with Rich Communication Services specifications.

5. A mobile terminal connected to a second mobile terminal via a communication network, the terminal comprising a data processor configured to:

receive from the network a first multimedia, message of Multimedia Message Service type as defined by 3GPP emitted by the second terminal, the first multimedia message comprising at least one content, wherein at least one content is an image;

render the at least one content on the first terminal;

modify the at least one content in a user interface on the first terminal according to the actions of a user to generate modified content; and

send to the second terminal a second multimedia message of Multimedia Message Service type as defined by 3GPP comprising said modified content,

wherein the user interface allows the of the images included in the multimedia messages exchanged between the first and second terminals.

6. A mobile terminal having stored thereon instructions for performing a method for exchanging Multimedia Message Service type multimedia messages between a first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal connected to a communication network when the instructions are executed by a processor wherein the method is implemented by a data processor of the first terminal and comprises:

reception from the network of a first multimedia message of Multimedia Message Service type as defined by 3GPP emitted by the second terminal, the first multimedia message comprising at least one content, wherein at least one content is an image;

rendering the at least one content on the first terminal;

modification of the at least one content in a user interface on the first terminal according to the actions of a user to generate modified content; and

sending of a second multimedia message of Multimedia Message Service type as defined by 3GPP comprising the modified content to the second terminal,

wherein the user interface allows the display of the images included in the multimedia messages exchanged between the first and second terminals.

7. A non-transitory computer readable storage having stored thereon instructions for performing a method for exchanging Multimedia Message Service type multimedia messages between a first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal connected to a communication network when the instructions are executed by a processor, wherein the method is implemented by a data processor of the first terminal and comprises;

reception from the network of a first multimedia message of Multimedia Mess age Service type as defined by 3GPP emitted by the second terminal, the first multimedia message comprising at least one content, wherein at least one content is an image;

rendering the at least one content on the first terminal;

modification of the at least one content in a user interface on the first terminal according to the actions of a user to generate modified content; and

sending of a second multimedia message of Multimedia Message Service type as defined by 3GPP comprising the modified content to the second terminal.
