System for character-child interaction with adult character control
First Claim
1. A system for allowing a first, adult-controlled user interface to interact in the manner of a character facade with a second, child-controlled user interface via a computer, comprising:
- a storage device; and
a processor connected to said storage device;
said storage device storing a program for controlling said processor; and
said processor operative with said program to;
receive a message from said second, child-controlled user interface;
notify, by electronic mail, said first, adult-controlled user interface of the received message;
receive a reply to said received message from said first, adult-controlled user interface; and
present said reply to said second, child-controlled user interface in the manner of a child-identifiable, fictional character facade;
wherein said first, adult-controlled user interface provides said reply and wherein said second, child-controlled user interface sees said reply as coming only from said child-identifiable fictional character.

Abstract
The system of the present invention generally allows a first user, the adult, to interact in the manner of a character facade with a second user, the child, via computer connections to a webserver. The webserver generally includes a processor with a memory/storage device that holds a character interaction program which supports a registration website and a character website. The processor operates with the program to receive a message from the child user, to notify the adult user of the received message via electronic mail, to receive a reply from the adult user, and to present the reply to the child user as though coming from a character rather than the adult user.
