Abstract
A system and method for effectively exchanging photo data in an instant messaging environment includes a first device coupled to an electronic network for utilizing a first messaging program and a first messaging display to create text messages for performing messaging procedures. A photo data source such as a digital camera is configured to capture photo data when the first device is instructed to transmit the text messages by activating a 'send message' icon on the first messaging display. The first messaging program automatically creates and transmits photo messages that include the photo data and corresponding text messages. A second device coupled to the electronic network may then utilize a second messaging program to receive and display the text messages and photo data from the transmitted photo messages upon a second messaging display. The second device may also similarly create and send reciprocal photo messages to the first device during the foregoing messaging procedures.
