Abstract

See full text

In an Internet chat environment, chat feedback indicators show receiver users of a chat application that at least one sender is in the process of preparing a message for viewing by chat environment participants. As a sender types text, a length of the text is sent to the receivers via unreliable data packets. Thus, the receivers are shown mask characters that correspond to the number of textual entries mede by the sender. The sender is, therefore, provided with some sense of security in that the typed text will not be displayed to the receivers until complete. In addition, the receivers are provided with an indication that something is being prepared for display to them.
