Device, system, method and program for reproducing or transferring animation

Abstract

If an action tag contained in an animation description script of a second character is described synchronously with an action tag contained in an animation description script of a first character, a script interpretation means (106) interprets the action tag contained in the animation description script of the first character on the basis of the combination with the synchronized action tag contained in the animation description script of the second character with reference to a script interpretation table stored in an interpretation table storage means (105). Thus, an animation reproducing device by which even without correcting the animation description script of the first character, an animation in which characters act synchronously can be automatically corrected and reproduced and a communication network system are provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an animation transmission device for transmitting / receiving data to reproduce an animation including a plurality of characters, and an animation reproduction device for reproducing an animation including a plurality of characters, an animation reproduction system, an animation reproduction method, and an animation transmission program and Movie reproduction programs and computer-readable storage media having these programs. Background technique [0002] As disclosed in Tokukaihei Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 5-290144 (published on November 5, 1993) and Tokukaihei Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-305787 (published on November 28, 1997), conventional The known animation reproducing apparatus of the present invention reproduces animation based on shape data describing a shape of a character, action figures describing action information of the character shape data, and an animation description scri...

Problems solved by technology

[0013] However, even if this animation reproduction method can achieve real-time, interactive reproduction of the actions of characters, and utilizes each single operation of the first character operating device 3103 or the second character operating device 3106, each character interacts with each other in real time, however, this method still Does not have functionality, such as manipulating to specify any part of a first character's sequence animation such that the motion of that part changes in response to the motion of a second character

[0014] Therefore, in a communication device, for example, in an exchange of mails including animations, the above-mentioned method still cannot realize the function of realizing the animation reproduction of natural movement by coordinating the animation of the first mail with the animation of the response, i.e. changing the first mail The animation of the response corresponds to the animation of the response and uses the animation of the response to reproduce the animation of the first email in the device that created the first email
