Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems are provided herein for providing complimentary or conflicting avatars. In some embodiments, a determination of a need to communicate information to a user is made. When it is determined that a need to communicate information to the user exists, a user profile corresponding to the user may be accessed. Control circuitry may then retrieve a first graphic from the user profile (i.e., the user's selected avatar). In some embodiments, the retrieved graphic may be cross-referenced with a database that lists correspondences between a plurality of graphics. The act of cross-referencing may be used to determine a second graphic that corresponds to the first graphic. When the second graphic is selected, the information that is to be communicated to the user is communicated utilizing the second graphic.
