Problems solved by technology

[0014] However, although the Magic Cap displays an image simulating an actual postcard in the GUI screen, the process of receiving and delivering the postcard 307 and the process of the arrival of a postcard from another user are not displayed, so that the user cannot intuitively understand the delivery process
Thus, the user cannot infer the process or exchange method or operation method of e-mail from the usual letter delivery system

Embodiment Construction

[0089] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0090] The present invention is applied to an electronic mail (E-mail) system in which electronic mail is exchanged between a plurality of personal computers 21, 22 connected to the Internet 10 via public telephone networks 1, 2 and via service providers 11, 12, respectively.

[0091] The Internet service provider 11 is constituted by a router 11A, a communication server 11C, and a mail server 11D interconnected by a local area network (LAN) 11B. A hard disk drive is provided in the mail server 11D to constitute a mail roll 11E for temporarily storing mail. Communication server 11C includes modem 11F for connecting to personal computer 21 via public telephone network 1 . This Internet service provider 11 transfers the e-mail sent by the user's personal computer 21 connected to the communication server 11C by dialing IP through the public telephone network to ...

Abstract

An E-mail can be sent easily with an animated representation as if a pet were going in and out on a GUI picture simulating the inside of a room for dispatching or delivering a mail. In addition, the user can send an E-mail with a friendly feeling for an agent. By sending agent data updated responsive to experiences of an electronic pet as annexed papers to the E-mail, the animation as if an electronic pet (103) were going in and out on a GUI picture (100) simulating the inside of a room for dispatching or delivering a mail is displayed. The behaviour of the pet displayed by animation is varied depending on the keeping environment. The electronic pet (103) selects an illustrative sentence in keeping with the agent data from pre-set illustrative sentences for voluntary sending the sentence as an E-mail to a user who is a keeper or to a counterpart of past mailing of the user.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application with application number 97126095.5. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a method and device for providing virtual agent method emails and an automatic sending program providing media for exchanging emails between computing terminals such as personal computers on a communication network. Background technique [0003] Electronic mail (E-mail) utilizes the structure of the Internet to provide a global communication capability for information exchange between spatially separated computers and has gained widespread use. [0004] In the Internet e-mail system, mail servers are provided in a distributed manner in each area. A client sends an email to a mail server in his or her region, or vice versa. [0005] That is, the sender states what he or she wants to send, and sends mail to the recipient at the address and name provided by the email client tool (software for sending / receiving mail) called mailer. ...
