LIMITING AVATAR GESTURE DISPLAY
First Claim
Patent Images
1. In a computer system for controlling an avatar, a method for limiting gesture display of an avatar comprising:
- determining from motion tracking data whether a gesture for the avatar is one of a set of prohibited gestures; and
responsive to the gesture being of the set of prohibited gestures, altering image data representing the gesture for the avatar.

Abstract
Technology determines whether a gesture of an avatar depicts one of a set of prohibited gestures. An example of a prohibited gesture is a lewd gesture. If the gesture is determined to be a prohibited gesture, the image data for display of the gesture is altered. Some examples of alteration are substitution of image data for the prohibited gesture, or performing a filtering technique to the image data depicting the gesture to visually obscure the prohibited gesture.

9. A computer-implemented system for limiting gesture display of an avatar comprising:
-
an image capture system for capturing image data representative of live motions of a user, one or more processing modules communicatively coupled to the image capture system for executing instructions for receiving the captured image data; one or more memory devices accessible by the one or more processing modules for storing motion tracking data received from the image capture system; the one or more processing modules executing instructions for updating motion tracking data for the user based on the received motion tracking data; the one or more processing modules executing instructions for tracking the user'"'"'s live motions to motions for an avatar associated with the user; the one or more processing modules determining whether a gesture performed by the user is one of a set of prohibited gestures based on parameter data defining criteria for motions representative of a set of prohibited gestures; and responsive to the gesture being of the set of prohibited gestures, the one or more processing modules altering data representing the gesture of the avatar for display. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. One or more computer-readable storage media comprising instructions encoded thereon for causing a processor on a first processing device to execute a method for limiting gesture display of an avatar, the method comprising:
-
determining whether motion for performance by the avatar on a display represents one of a set of prohibited gestures based on motion tracking data for control of the avatar; determining whether the representation of the avatar is converted to image data for transmission to a second processing device; and responsive to the gesture being of the set of prohibited gestures and the image data being for transmission to the second processing device, replacing motion data for the gesture with different motion data for the avatar. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
