Description

Device, method and user terminal for providing personalized personalized character {APPARATUS, METHOD AND USER DEVICE FOR PRIVIDING CUSTOMIZED CHARACTER}

The present invention relates to an apparatus, a method and a user terminal for providing a personalized customized character.

Conventional character services allow the user to select pre-made facial feature icons (eg, head, eyes, nose, mouth, facial contours, facial expressions, etc.) and beauty style icons (eg, hair concepts, accessories, clothing, etc.). You can create a character by combining selected icons. Such a character service has a drawback in that it takes a lot of time in selecting an icon for character generation, and it is difficult to reflect the characteristics and personality of the user because the user arbitrarily configures the shape of the character.
