Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2004079530A2] A graphical user interface on a display device for using a computer to communicate using an avatar includes an instant message sender display. The instant message sender display includes a sender portion that displays a sender avatar capable of displaying multiple animations. The sender avatar is animated in response to a trigger related to content of a message sent from a sender to a recipient and may be animated to send to another user an out-of-band communication that conveys information independent of information conveyed directly in the text message sent. An avatar also may be included in one or more of multiple online personas enabled for a user an instant messaging communications session. An avatar may be animated in response to the animation of another avatar in the same communications session.
