A method for providing a location based avatar messenger service:
- transmitting, by a user terminal, location information of the user terminal to an external system;
- receiving, by the user terminal, information on users located in a vicinity of the user terminal from the external system;
- obtaining, by an image sensor of the user terminal, at least one image;
- and
- displaying, on a display of the user terminal, the at least one image and a first set of avatars associated with the users located in the vicinity such that the first set of avatars is superimposed on the at least one image,
- the first set of avatars including one or more avatars,
- the one or more avatars corresponding, respectively, to one or more users from among the users located in the vicinity,
- wherein a size of each of the one or more avatars included in the first set of avatars displayed on the display is determined based on a distance between the user terminal and the one or more users to which the one or more avatars included in the first set of avatars correspond, and
- wherein a face size of each of the one or more avatars included in the first set of avatars displayed on the display is determined based on evaluation scores associated with the one or more users to which the one or more avatars included in the first set of avatars correspond.
A device for providing a location based avatar messenger service, comprising:
- a communication module;
- a memory storing computer-readable instructions;
- an image sensor;
- a display;
- and
- at least one processor connected to the memory and configured to execute the computer-readable instructions such that the at least one processor is configured to,
- transmit location information of the device to an external system,
- receive information on users located in a vicinity of the device from the external system,
- obtain, using the image sensor, at least one image, and
- display, on the display, the at least one image and a first set of avatars associated with the users located in the vicinity such that the first set of avatars is superimposed on the at least one image,
- the first set of avatars including one or more avatars,
- the one or more avatars corresponding, respectively, to one or more of the users located in the vicinity,
- wherein a size of each of the one or more avatars included in the first set of avatars displayed on the display is determined based on a distance between the device and the one or more users to which the one or more avatars included in the first set of avatars correspond, and
- wherein a face size of each of the one or more avatars included in the first set of avatars displayed on the display is determined based on evaluation scores associated with the one or more users to which the one or more avatars included in the first set of avatars correspond.
