Abstract

In various example embodiments, a system and method for data mesh visualization are presented. An avatar representation of a user is generated. A user-specified change to the avatar representation is received and the avatar representation is changed based on the user-specified change. A current status of the user is determined, and an updated avatar representation is generated based on the current status of the user. The updated avatar is displayed in association with a communication of the user.

Claims (55)

1. A system comprising:

at least one hardware processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor cause the system to perform operations comprising:

generating an avatar representation of a user;

receiving user input comprising a user-specified change to the avatar representation;

changing the avatar representation based on the user-specified change to the avatar representation;

determining a current status of the user based on real-time data obtained from a first client device associated with the user;

generating an updated avatar representation based on the current status of the user; and

causing one or more second client devices to display the updated avatar in association with a communication of the user.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the generating of the avatar representation of the user is based on user data descriptive of the user, the user data comprising demographic data and social media content of the user.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving, the user data from a plurality of attribute sources comprising a plurality of electronic devices.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the user data includes real-time sensor data produced by one or more sensors of the first client device.

5. The system of claim 2 , wherein the user data includes data from one or more biometric components of the first client device, the one or more biometric components being configured to detect one or more kinesics associated with the user.

6. The system of claim 2 , wherein:

the generating of the avatar representation of the user comprises inferring visually exemplifiable user characteristics corresponding to the user based on an analysis of the user data, the user characteristics comprising a physical trait and a personality trait; and

the generating of the avatar representation of the user is based at least in part on the inferred physical trait and the inferred personality trait.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:

inferring subsequent user characteristics based, at least in part, on user input; and

wherein the changing the avatar representation is based, at least in part, on the subsequent user characteristics.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the user input comprises a user interaction with the updated avatar.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein:

determining the current status of the user comprises determining a facial expression of the user; and

generating the updated avatar representation comprises determining a graphical representation of the facial expression of the user.

10. A method comprising:

generating an avatar representation of a user;

receiving user input comprising a user-specified change to the avatar representation;

changing the avatar representation based on the user-specified change to the avatar representation;

determining a current status of the user based on real-time data obtained from a first client device associated with the user;

generating an updated avatar representation based on the current status of the user; and

causing one or more second client devices to display the updated avatar in association with a communication of the user.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the generating of the avatar representation of the user is based on user data descriptive of the user, the user data comprising demographic data and social media content of the user.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving, the user data from a plurality of attribute sources comprising a plurality of electronic devices.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the user data includes real-time sensor data produced by one or more sensors of the first client device.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the user data includes data from one or more biometric components of the first client device, the one or more biometric components being configured to detect one or more kinesics associated with the user.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein:

the generating of the avatar representation of the user comprises inferring visually exemplifiable user characteristics corresponding to the user based on an analysis of the user data, the user characteristics comprising a physical trait and a personality trait; and

the generating of the avatar representation of the user is based at least in part on the inferred physical trait and the interred personality trait.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

inferring subsequent user characteristics based, at least in part, on user input; and

wherein the changing the avatar representation is based, at least in part, on the subsequent user characteristics.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the user input comprises a user interaction with the updated avatar.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein:

determining the current status of the user comprises determining a facial expression of the user; and

generating the updated avatar representation comprises determining a graphical representation of the facial expression of the user.

19. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

determining satisfaction of a reward criteria associated with the user data; and

providing a reward to the user based on the determined satisfaction of the reward criteria, wherein the reward comprises a visualization feature.

20. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

generating an avatar representation of a user;

receiving user input comprising a user-specified change to the avatar representation;

changing the avatar representation based on the user-specified change to the avatar representation;

determining a current status of the user based on real-time data obtained from a first client device associated with the user;

generating an updated avatar representation based on the current status of the user; and

causing one or more second client devices to display the updated avatar in association with a communication of the user.
