The device may select an action corresponding to the emotion from a reference database, and combine the text-based data with the emotion and action to generate an animation script. The device may generate a graphic in which a character is moved based on the action information, the emotion information, and the text-based data.12-02-2010
20110239147DIGITAL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A USER INTERFACE TO PRODUCE CONTENTS - A digital apparatus that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for producing contents is provided. The digital apparatus may provide multiple screens, for example, a first GUI screen, a second GUI screen, and a third GUI screen. The first GUI screen may be used for setting at least one background item as contents. The second GUI screen may be used for setting at least one 3D avatar item as contents. The third GUI screen may be used for setting at least one scenario item as contents. The digital apparatus may produce the contents by combining the items set as contents on the first through the third GUI screens, respectively, based on a user set signal.09-29-2011
