This stuff is getting just weird.<br><br>From the article:<br>The patent notes that while emoticons can currently convey the emotions behind a text message, having to hunt for the perfect smiley face takes time and disrupts the flow of texting.

A smartphone’s front-facing camera could also be used to determine a person’s facial expression. <br>
