Abstract

An electronic pet system capable of reflecting habits of users is provided, which allows the electronic pets raised by different users to have different personalities and reflect the habits of the users. The electronic pet system includes a parameter collection module, a parameter database, and a parameter setting module. The parameter collection module is used to gather growing parameters of an electronic pet, in which the parameters include a work and rest time schedule and a behavior content. The parameter database is used to record the growing, parameters of the electronic pet, in which the growing parameters are related to the work and rest time schedule and the behavior content. The parameter setting module is used to set the growing parameters of the electronic pet according to the growth gathered by the parameter collection module, such that the electronic pet reacts in accordance with the growing parameters.

Claims

1. A system of electronic pet capable of reflecting habits of users, comprising:

a parameter collection module, for gathering growing parameters of an electronic pet, the growing parameters comprising a work and rest time schedule and a behavior content;

a parameter database, for recording the growing parameters of the electronic pet, the growing parameters being related to the work and rest time schedule and the behavior content; and

a parameter setting module, for setting the growing parameters of the electronic pet according to growth gathered by the parameter collection module, such that the electronic pet reacts in accordance with the growing parameters.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a judging module for determining whether current growing parameters conform to the growing parameters in the parameter database or not.

3. The system as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a reminding message database for storing a plural sets of remind messages, wherein the remind message is related to the work and rest time schedule and the behavior content.

4. The system as claimed in claim 3, wherein when the current growing parameters do not conform to the growing parameters in the parameter database, a remind module displays a message in the reminding message database.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the behavior content comprises a dynamic behavior and a static behavior.

6. An electronic pet method capable of reflecting habits of users, comprising:

gathering growing parameters of an electronic pet, the parameters comprising a work and rest time schedule and a behavior content;

recording the growing parameters of the electronic pet, the growing parameters being related to the work and rest time schedule and the behavior content; and

setting the growing parameters of the electronic pet according to growth gathered, such that the electronic pet reacts in accordance with the growing parameters.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6, further comprising a determining step for determining whether current growing parameters conform to the growing parameters in a parameter database or not.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein when the current growing parameters do not conform to the growing parameters in the parameter database, a remind message is displayed, and the remind message is related to the work and rest time schedule and the behavior content.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the behavior content comprises a dynamic behavior and a static behavior.

10. A recording medium, wherein when being executed, the recording medium performs steps of:

gathering growing parameters of an electronic pet, the parameter comprising a work and rest time schedule and a behavior content;

recording the growing parameters of the electronic pet, the growing parameters being related to the work and rest time schedule and the behavior content; and

setting the growing parameters of the electronic pet according to growth gathered, such that the electronic pet reacts in accordance with the growing parameters.

11. The recording medium as claimed in claim 10, wherein the recording medium further performs a determining step for determining whether current growing parameters conform to the growing parameters in the parameter database or not.

12. The recording medium as claimed in claim 11, wherein when the current growing parameters do not conform to the growing parameters in the parameter database, a remind message is displayed, and the remind message is related to the work and rest time schedule and the behavior content.

13. The recording medium as claimed in claim 10, wherein the behavior content comprises a dynamic behavior and a static behavior.
