Portable communication terminal and program
First Claim
1. A program for controlling behavior of an avatar displayed on a display of a portable communication terminal, the program comprising:
- a parts management module configured to manage parts images for display of parts in respective states constituting the avatar;
an external event information generating module configured to generate external event information indicating a state of the avatar, based on input information from a user;
an internal event information generating module configured to generate internal event information indicating a state of the avatar at predetermined timing, independently of the input information from the user;
a state information generating module configured to generate state information providing an instruction to change at least one of the respective states of the parts, based on priorities assigned to the external event information and the internal event information, when receiving the external event information and the internal event information at the same time; and
an avatar image generating module configured to change the at least one of the respective states of the parts according to the state information, to generate an avatar image for display of the avatar based on parts images corresponding to the respective states of the parts after the change, and to output the generated avatar image to a drawing engine.
