Solution Overview

Problem

Existing avatar creation methods are limited and do not meet user needs for diversity and functionality in representing user status through avatars.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for creating and publishing avatars that include receiving an avatar creation operation, obtaining a first avatar and its status identifier, and publishing the avatar with an associated action based on the status identifier, allowing for diverse and dynamic avatar representations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional avatar creation methods are used, then the avatar creation process is simple, but the avatar functionality and diversity are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavatar functionalityVSAvoidavatar creation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The avatar creation process is divided into multiple independent modules: avatar image selection, status identifier selection, and association action selection. Each module can be configured separately, allowing users to build complex functional avatars through simple step-by-step operations, thus resolving the contradiction between functionality and process complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal avatar framework where a single avatar can perform multiple functions by combining different status identifiers and association actions. The avatar serves as a multi-functional entity that can represent various user states and trigger different actions, enhancing adaptability without requiring separate systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of information

If static avatar images are used, then the avatar representation is simple, but the user status expression capability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser status informationVSAvoidavatar structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The avatar structure implements a nested information model where the avatar image contains embedded status identifiers, which in turn contain association actions. This hierarchical nesting allows multiple layers of information to be packed into a single avatar entity, enabling comprehensive user status expression without increasing apparent structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses status identifiers as reusable templates that can be copied and applied to different avatar contexts. Each status identifier represents a predefined user state with associated actions, allowing the same status information to be efficiently replicated across multiple avatar instances without redundant data storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If avatars without association actions are used, then the avatar control is simple, but the user interaction capability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavatar controlVSAvoiduser interaction capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The avatar system transitions from static images to dynamic entities through association actions. Each avatar is configured with conditional rules that automatically trigger specific actions based on current user status, making the avatar control adaptive and context-aware while maintaining ease of operation through automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where avatars continuously monitor user status changes and automatically adjust their displayed actions accordingly. This closed-loop feedback enables rich interaction capabilities without requiring complex manual control, as the avatar autonomously responds to user states based on pre-configured association rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, an apparatus, an electronic device and a storage medium for publishing a virtual image. The method includes: receiving an avatar creation operation on a preset page, the preset page displaying a target object and a user identifier of at least one associated user of a current user; in response to the avatar creation operation, obtaining a first avatar and a state of a target status identifier corresponding to the first avatar; receiving an avatar publishing operation for the first avatar; and in response to the avatar publishing operation, publishing the first avatar performing a target association action, wherein the target association action is an association action of the state of the target status identifier corresponding to the first avatar.
