Morse was on a ship returning from Europe in October 1832 when he heard about some recent experiments which had been done with electricity in Paris. During the rest of the trip, Morse thought about the experiments and about telegraph. He had figured out all the important features (特点) of telegraph before the ship reached New York. Morse spent the next five years building working models. On June 20, 1840, Morse got a U.S. patent (专利) on his invention.
