Abstract:
1. A system for transmitting an animated figure between a transmitter and a receiver, the transmitter comprising: a framework receiving module configured for receiving frameworks of animated figures over a communication network, wherein a framework expresses a shape showing a specific movement of various parts of an animated figure; a selecting module configured for receiving a selected framework and an identification (ID) of an animated figure, and a transmission mode for sending the animated figure to the receiver; a feature point extracting module configured for extracting feature points from the selected framework, wherein the feature points are main points that make up of the selected framework; a packaging module configured for packaging coordinate values of the feature points, the ID, and the transmission mode into a data package; a transmitting module configured for transmitting the data package to the receiver using the transmission mode; and at least one processor that executes the framework receiving module, the selecting module, the feature point extracting module, the packaging module, and the transmitting module; the receiver comprising: an interpreting module configured for interpreting the data packet to determine the transmission mode; an receiving module configured for receiving the coordinate values of the feature points and the ID using the transmission mode; a picture forming module configured for generating and displaying an animated figure having the selected framework, using an animated figure corresponding the ID stored in a memory of the receiver and the coordinate values of the feature points; and at least one processor that executes the interpreting module, the receiving module, and the picture forming module.
