1. A computer-implemented method for modifying an avatar associated with an identity of a user of a communications application, the method comprising:
- monitoring, by at least one processor, at least one additional application executing on a computing device associated with the user, the at least one additional application being distinct from the communications application;
inferring, based on the monitored at least one additional application, a mood of the user of the communications application; and
modifying the avatar based on the inferred mood of the user of the communications application.

Abstract
Techniques are described for enabling the selection of wallpaper to modify the mood projected by an avatar. The mood projected by an avatar may be modified, for example, by modifying behaviors and/or appearance of the avatar to characterize a mood to be projected. The mood projected by an avatar also may be modified based on user action, such as user input of a mood to be projected by the avatar.
