Social Methods And Systems Based on Three-Dimensional Virtual Environments

An apparatus, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
• display, at a first position in a three-dimensional virtual environment, a first virtual character;
• receive a check-in operation, wherein the check-in operation comprises an operation of editing first social information for a first event in the three-dimensional virtual environment;
• and
• generate, at a second position in the three-dimensional virtual environment, a first check-in marker indicating the first social information edited by the first virtual character for the first event.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a data processing system to perform:

• displaying, at a first position in a three-dimensional virtual environment, a first virtual character;
• receiving a check-in operation, wherein the check-in operation comprises an operation of editing first social information for a first event in the three-dimensional virtual environment;
• and
• generating, at a second position in the three-dimensional virtual environment, a first check-in marker indicating the first social information edited by the first virtual character for the first event.
