METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING DYNAMIC MOODS FOR AVATARS

摘要

Method and apparatus for providing dynamic moods for updating online identities are disclosed. For example, when a user updates the moods and/or gestures of his or her avatar(s), the mood and/or gesture changes are stored in a user database. The changes are also detected by an event router that sends a mood change notification in real time to all pertinent servers that are currently supporting on-line applications for the user. The servers will send the mood change notification in real time to pertinent clients, e.g., an instant messenger client, a mobile instant messenger client, an interactive game client and the like. As a result, dynamic mood changes to a user's avatar can be shown in real time to other users interacting with the user.
