1. A computer-implemented method for generating user identification information, comprising:
- receiving at a server a data submission, the data submission for user identification associated with a user account and comprising one of a video file, an audio file, a multimedia file, and a picture file that is employed to generate at least one of a visual or audible output that identifies the user account;
determining at the server at least one alternative data item for user identification associated with the user account, the alternative data item based on the data submission and employed to generate at least one of a visual or audible output that identifies the user account;
outputting the at least one alternative data item;
receiving an indication of a selected one of the at least one alternative data item; and
associating at the server the at least one alternative data item with the user account.

Abstract
Alternative representations are generated from a user'"'"'s audible or visual data submission (e.g., user'"'"'s picture) for use as part of an online account profile or user identification in an online service (e.g., online gaming user profile) or computer device. A specific representation is selected for use with the online account or computing device. Furthermore, a specific representation of the user'"'"'s audible or visual data that is suitable for a particular display device (e.g., television, cellular telephone) can be generated and presented.

7. A system for generating alternatives user identification information, comprising:
-
an input device that receives a data submission, the data submission for user identification associated with a user account and comprising one of a video file, an audio file, a multimedia, and a picture file that is employed to generate at least one of a visual or audible output that identifies the user account; a processor that receives the data submission from the input device, determines at least one alternative data item for user identification associated with the user account, the alternative data item based on the data submission and employed to generate at least one of a visual or audible output that identifies the user account, outputs the at least one alternative data item, receives an indication of a selected one of the at least one alternative data item, and associates the at least one alternative data item with the user account. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. A computer readable medium comprising computer instructions which when executed by a computing device causes the device to perform a method for generating user identification information, the method comprising:
-
receiving at a server a data submission, the data submission for user identification associated with a user account and comprising one of a video file, an audio file, a multimedia file, and a picture file that is employed to generate at least one of a visual or audible output that identifies the user account; determining at the server at least one alternative data item for user identification associated with the user account and employed to generate at least one of a visual or audible output that identifies the user account, the alternative data item based on the data submission and selected to be viewable on a target medium; outputting the at least one alternative data item; receiving an indication of a selected one of the at least one alternative data item; and associating at the server the at least one alternative data item with the user account.
