First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-readable storage medium operating in a first computing device, comprising computer instructions for:
- identifying a user profile;
determining operating characteristics of the first computing device;
presenting an avatar having characteristics that correlate to the user profile and conform to the operating characteristics of the first computing device;
detecting a request to transition the avatar to a second computing device; and
transmitting to the second computing device information associated with the avatar for reproducing at least in part the avatar at said second computing device.

Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a first computing device having a controller to present an avatar having characteristics that correlate to a user profile and that conform to operating characteristics of the first computing device, and transmit to a second computing device operational information associated with the avatar for reproducing at least in part the avatar at said second computing device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
