Localization of objects
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for modifying a visual property of an object based on a geographic location associated with a device. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a request to display an object that is associated with a set of one or more visual properties including a visual property that is dependent on a theme. Based on a particular theme, a set of one or more physical elements is identified that corresponds to the object. The one or more physical elements are associated with respective values for the visual property. A value for the visual property associated with the object is determined based on the respective values associated with the set of one or more physical elements. The object is displayed in accordance with the value for the visual property.
1. A method comprising:
at a device including a display, a non-transitory memory, and one or more processors coupled with the non-transitory memory:
obtaining a request to display an avatar that is associated with a set of one or more visual properties including a visual property that is dependent on a theme;
identifying, based on a particular theme, a set of one or more physical appearance elements for the avatar, wherein the set of one or more physical appearance elements is associated with respective values for the visual property;
modifying a value for the visual property associated with the avatar based on the respective values associated with the set of one or more physical appearance elements; and
displaying the avatar in accordance with the value for the visual property.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the visual property is a location-dependent visual property.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the visual property is a display characteristic of a portion of the avatar.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting the particular theme from a plurality of themes.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting the particular theme based on a location of the device.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising obtaining the location of the device.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising obtaining the location of the device via at least one of a Global Positioning System (GPS) transceiver, a cellular transceiver, or a short-range communication transceiver.
8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising obtaining the location of the device based on a wireless signal.
9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising obtaining the location of the device based on a network identifier.
10. The method of claim 5 , further comprising associating the location of the device with a geographic region.
11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a registered location of the device.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining the registered location of the device based on a profile.
13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising selecting the particular theme based on the registered location of the device.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of one or more physical appearance elements is associated with a geographic region.
15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising determining the geographic region based on a user profile.
16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising selecting the user profile from a plurality of user profiles associated with the device.
17. The method of claim 14 , further comprising determining the geographic region based on a device profile.
18. The method of claim 14 , further comprising determining the geographic region based on a user characteristic.
19. A device comprising:
one or more processors;
a non-transitory memory; and
one or more programs stored in the non-transitory memory, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
obtain a request to display an avatar that is associated with a set of one or more visual properties including a visual property that is dependent on a theme;
identify, based on a particular theme, a set of one or more physical appearance elements for the avatar, wherein the set of one or more physical appearance elements is associated with respective values for the visual property;
modify a value for the visual property associated with the avatar based on the respective values associated with the set of one or more physical appearance elements; and
display the avatar in accordance with the value for the visual property.
20. The device of claim 19 , wherein the visual property is a location-dependent visual property.
21. The device of claim 19 , wherein the one or more programs further cause the device to select the particular theme based on a location of the device.
22. The device of claim 19 , wherein the set of one or more physical appearance elements is associated with a geographic region determined based on at least one of a user profile, a device profile, or a user characteristic.
23. A non-transitory memory storing one or more programs, which, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:
obtain a request to display an avatar that is associated with a set of one or more visual properties including a visual property that is dependent on a theme;
identify, based on a particular theme, a set of one or more physical appearance elements for the avatar, wherein the set of one or more physical appearance elements is associated with respective values for the visual property;
modify a value for the visual property associated with the avatar based on the respective values associated with the set of one or more physical appearance elements; and
display the avatar in accordance with the value for the visual property.
24. The non-transitory memory of claim 23 , wherein the visual property is a location-dependent visual property.
25. The non-transitory memory of claim 23 , wherein the one or more programs further cause the device to select the particular theme based on a location of the device.
26. The non-transitory memory of claim 23 , wherein the set of one or more physical appearance elements is associated with a geographic region determined based on at least one of a user profile, a device profile, or a user characteristic.
