Abstract
Graphical user interfaces can exploit avatars to provide represent the user or their alter ego or character. It would be beneficial to provide users with an avatar not defined by the software provide but one that represents their quantified self so that their virtual world avatar evolved, adjusted, and behaved based upon the real world individual. It would also be beneficial that such a dynamically adaptive avatar provides the individual with an evolving and adjusting graphical interface to access personal information, establish adjustments in lifestyle, and monitor their health etc. within the real world but also define the characteristics, behaviour, skills, etc. that they possess within virtual worlds. Accordingly, such an avatar established in dependence upon the user'"'"'s specific characteristics can then be exploited to provide data for a wide range of additional aspects of the user'"'"'s life from filtering content through to controlling devices within their environment.

14. A method comprising:
-
aggregating biometric data relating to a user; allowing the user to select a predetermined subset of the aggregated biometric data to be displayed as part of a profile within a social network associated with the user; and allowing the user to determined what portion of their displayed profile within the social network to other users is based upon the predetermined subset of the aggregated biometric data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

29. A method of presenting a profile of a user within a social network to another user comprising:
-
retrieving data relating to an avatar associated with the user; retrieving data relating to the current context of the user; retrieving data relating an appearance of the avatar, the appearance of the avatar determined in dependence upon the social network and the current context of the user; generating a representation of the avatar based upon the data relating to the appearance as part of a social network profile associated with the user; displaying the social network profile to another user. - View Dependent Claims (30)

39. A method comprising:
-
automatically generating a profile of a user upon an electronic device by observing activities that the user partakes in, observing locations that the user visits, and associating the aggregated biometric data of the user with each activity and location; and at least one of; determining an activity of a user based upon the profile of the user and the user'"'"'s current biometric data; determining an action to be made in respect of a machine based upon the activity of the user; and determining whether to grant access to at least one of a computer system, a software application, a machine and a mode of transport in dependence upon validating the current aggregated biometric data against a stored biometric profile of the user.
