System and method of generating a video of an avatar

摘要

A method of generating an image enables animating an avatar on a device with limited processing capabilities. The method includes receiving, on a first computing device, a first image; sending, on a data interface of the first computing device, the first image to a server; receiving, on the data interface and from the server, shape data corresponding to an aspect of the first image; and generating, by a processor of the first computing device, a primary output image based at least upon the shape data and avatar data.

1. A method of generating an image comprising:
receiving, on a first computing device, a first image; sending, on a data interface of the first computing device, the first image to a server; receiving, on the data interface and from the server, shape data corresponding to an aspect of the first image; generating, by a processor of the first computing device, a primary output image based at least upon the shape data and selected avatar data corresponding to a selected one of a plurality of avatars, the selected avatar data on both the first computing device and the server; storing a plurality of unique identifiers each being uniquely associated with the plurality of avatars available for use on the first computing device; subsequent to the generating of the primary output image on the first computing device:
further receiving, on the data interface of the first computing device, a selected one of the plurality of unique identifiers associated with the selected avatar data;sending, on the data interface of the first computing device, only the unique identifier associated with the selected one of the plurality of avatars to the server;generating, by the server, a server output image based upon server avatar data associated with the unique identifier and the shape data, andfurther using the server to transmit only the server output image to a second computing device.
