Information about avatar characteristics for a user are stored in a removable memory card (115), for example in a SIM card for the GSM system. The information regarding the avatar can then be moved from one access terminal to another. A virtual world, which the avatar is designed to enter, can then be accessed from many different access terminals by means of inserting the SIM card and entering a personal identity number (PIN) code. Thus by adding such a memory function to a removable memory card (e.g. a SIM card or a Smart card), besides of making it possible to access a virtual world from different access terminals, also makes it possible to use avatars in new applications, such as in a GSM phone or another mobile phone or terminal. |
