Augmented expression sticker control and management

A method, comprising:

• receiving an expression sticker having metadata associated therewith;
• analyzing the metadata to determine whether an augmented feature is specified by the metadata, wherein the augmented feature is intended to be output in conjunction with display of the expression sticker;
• outputting the expression sticker to a display of a first device;
• triggering a corresponding augmented unit of the first device to output the augmented feature in response to a determination that the augmented feature is specified by the metadata and a determination that user specific rules of an expression sticker management service profile stored on memory of the first device allow the augmented feature to be available to a user of the first device,
• wherein the augmented feature is a tasteable flavor,
• wherein the augmented feature is based on current environmental conditions of a second user;
• sending a first request to an expression sticker resource, the first request including an offer to trade for a second expression sticker,
• wherein the second expression sticker is not already included in an expression sticker collection of the first device prior to sending the first request;
• receiving the second expression sticker;
• and
• adding the second expression sticker to the expression sticker collection.

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the embodied program instructions being executable by a processing circuit to cause the processing circuit to:

• receive, by the processing circuit, an expression sticker having metadata associated therewith;
• analyze, by the processing circuit, the metadata to determine whether an augmented feature is specified by the metadata, wherein the augmented feature is intended to be output in conjunction with display of the expression sticker;
• output, by the processing circuit, the expression sticker to a display of a first device;
• trigger, by the processing circuit, a corresponding augmented unit of the first device to output the augmented feature in response to a determination that the augmented feature is specified by the metadata and a determination that user specific rules of an expression sticker management service profile stored on memory of the first device allow the augmented feature to be available to a user of the first device;
• receive, by the processing circuit, indication that the user has requested to send a second expression sticker to a second device;
• generate, by the processing circuit, a current emotional mode and a corresponding emotional level based on an evaluation of emotional factors of the user;
• create, by the processing circuit, second metadata indicating the current emotional mode and the corresponding emotional level for the user;
• and
• send, by the processing circuit, the second expression sticker associated with the second metadata to the second device,
• wherein the second expression sticker is available to the user based on a user type of the user as specified in the expression sticker management service profile;
• send, by the processing circuit, a first request to an expression sticker resource, the first request including an offer to trade for a third expression sticker,
• wherein the third expression sticker is not already included in an expression sticker collection of the first device prior to sending the first request;
• receive, by the processing circuit, the third expression sticker;
• and
• add, by the processing circuit, the third expression sticker to the expression sticker collection.
