Abstract
A first communication device may include a control unit to determine a first image of an object to be used in generating a multi-dimensional representation. The multi-dimensional representation may be set in at least two states, each representing an expression and to be controlled by commands. Furthermore, the control unit may determine a second image to be used in the process and determine whether the second image is associated with the first image; analyze the second image to determine a first expression of the second image; and create an expression command based on the first expression. The expression command may be used to control the multi-dimensional representation to be set in a first state presenting the determined first expression.
Claims28
In a first communication device, a method comprising:
- determining a first image of a first object to be used to generate a multi-dimensional representation of the first object, wherein the multi-dimensional representation is enabled to be set in at least two states, each of the at least two state representing an expression to be controlled by an expression command;
- determining a second image of a second object is to be used;
- determining whether the second object in the second image is associated with the first object;
- analyzing, when the second object is associated with the first object, the second image to determine a first expression of the second object;
- creating the expression command based on the first expression;
- and
- causing the multi-dimensional representation to be set in one of the at least two states based on the expression command.
A communication device comprising:
- a control unit to:
- determine a first image of an object to be used in generating a multi-dimensional representation, wherein the multi-dimensional representation is set in one of at least two states, each of the at least two states representing an expression to be controlled by an expression command,
- determine a second image to be used;
- determine whether the second image is associated with the first image;
- analyze, when the second image is associated with the first image, the second image to determine a first expression of the second image, and
- create the expression command based on the first expression, the expression command to configure the multi-dimensional representation in the one of the at least two states.
In a communication device within a communications network, a method comprising:
- receiving image data of a first object, the image data being used to present a multi-dimensional representation of the first configurable in one of at least two states, each of the at least two states representing an expression to be controlled by an expression command;
- receiving the expression command;
- determining that the expression command is associated with the image data, and using the expression command to control the multi-dimensional representation from the image data to be set in a state representing an expression.
A communication device comprising:
- a receiving arrangement to:
- receive image data of a first object from a first communication device,
- receive an expression command associated with the image data, and
- generate, using the image data, a multi-dimensional representation of the first object enabled to assume one of at least two states, each of the at least two states representing an expression to be controlled by an expression commands;
- and
- a control unit to:
- determine whether the expression command is associated with the image data, and
- use the expression command to control the state of the multi-dimensional representation from the image data.
The communication device of 25, wherein the image data comprises the multi-dimensional representation.
