Abstract

A system and method are provided for entity visualization of text messages. A system for entity visualization of text messages comprises an entity including a plurality of predefined commands, an entity player for invoking the entity commands, means for receiving text input, and means for associating the text input with at least one entity command, wherein the entity command is invoked using the text input. A method for entity visualization of text messages comprises receiving a text input, associating the text input with at least one entity command, and invoking the entity command.

Claims

1. A system for entity visualization of text messages, comprising:

an entity including a plurality of predefined commands;

an entity player for invoking the entity commands;

means for receiving text input; and

means for associating the text input with at least one entity command, wherein the entity command is invoked using the text input.

2. A method for entity visualization of text messages, comprising:

receiving a text input;

associating the text input with at least one entity command; and

invoking the entity command.

3. A method for entity visualization of text messages, comprising:

receiving a text input,

comparing the text input to a plurality of entity commands;

determining whether the text input includes at least one matching entity command;

executing the entity command if a match is found; and

constructing a message from the text input if a match is not found.

4. A method for entity visualization of text messages, comprising:

receiving, by an entity-enabled device, a text input string;

parsing the text input string to determine if the text input string includes an entity command;

invoking an entity action associated with the entity command if the text input string includes an entity command; and

invoking at least one default entity action if the text input string does not include an entity command.
