Method and System for Providing Personal Emoticons
First Claim
1. A method for providing personal emoticons, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing at least one self-portrait image that represent a static face expression of an individual user;
b) processing said provided at least one image by applying one or more image processing filters and/or algorithms for performing at least one of the following tasks;
enhancing said provided image, recognizing the face expression, and/or emphasizing the face expression represented by the provided image; and
c) converting said processed image into one or more emoticon/s format such that the image file is standardized into a pixel array of uniform dimensions to be used as personal emoticons in one or more applications and/or operating system based platforms by a software component that allows a user to enter characters on a computer based device.

15. A method for automatically identifying the person'"'"'s mood in real-time through its own computer based device, comprising:
-
a) recording the data captured by one or more sensors of said device, wherein said captured data represent the user behavior; b) processing and analyzing the captured data by applying human behavior detection algorithm(s) for classifying the processed data as a possible user'"'"'s mood; c) determining the current mood of the user by locating the classification value resulting from the analysis of each captured data; and d) generating an automatic response with respect to the user'"'"'s current mood by using a feedback module, wherein each mood have one or more response actions related to it that can be applied by the user'"'"'s own device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A system for providing personal emoticons, comprising:
-
a) at least one processor; and b) a memory comprising computer-readable instructions which when executed by the at least one processor causes the processor to execute a personal emoticon engine, wherein the engine; i) processes at least one image of a self-portrait by applying one or more image processing filters and/or algorithms for performing at least one of the following tasks;
enhancing said provided image, recognizing the face expression, and/or emphasizing the face expression represented by the provided image; andii) convertes said processed image into one or more emoticon/s format such that the image file is standardized into a pixel array of uniform dimensions to be used as personal emoticons in one or more applications and/or operating system based platforms by a software component that allows a user to enter characters on a computer based device.
