[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of instant messaging.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The information in this section merely provides background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art(s).
[0003] Rapid growth in the field of digital portable devices has provided significant motivation for development in instant messaging. Generally, users use instant messaging and communicate by way of publishing a post, making a comment, or sending a text or an image. Messaging applications are an increasingly popular form of communications. The electronic message-based communication is dominating the other mode of communications.
[0004] While conventional messaging applications provide text-based communication, one aspect of messaging applications that has grown recently is sticker-based communication. A sticker illustrates an image used to convey the intended message of the sender to the receiver. Stickers also convey the intended message quickly and in a simple manner to the receiver. However, the sticker-based communication provided by the conventional messaging applications is unable to provide an interactive communication system to the receiver. Particularly, the conventional messaging applications/systems do not have any means by which the receiver can represent his reaction and/or emotion to the received sticker and/or an image.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need of system which provides interactive messaging system and enables representation of the reaction of the receiver who received the sticker and/or the image.

Therefore, the technique disclosed in present disclosure provides an interactive and entertaining messaging system for users.
[0034] Fig. 1 illustrates a system 100 for modifying a transformable image in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The system 100 includes a first user device 102a and a second user device 102b and a server 106 communicably coupled to each other via a network 104. An example of the network 104 may include, but not limited to, the Internet, a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Local Area Network (LAN), or any combination thereof.
[0035] Each of the first user device 102a and the second user device 102b may be configured to provide a user interface to the users to enable them to interact within the system 100 using a transformable image. Each of the first user device 102a and the second user device 102b may include any mobile computing or communication device, such as, but not limited to, a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, a smartphone, a laptop, a tablet or any similar class of mobile computing device with sufficient processing, communication, and audio/video recording and playback capabilities.
[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, the first user device 102a may be configured to transmit a transformable image to a second user device 102b. In an embodiment, the first user device 102a may provide a user interface to a first user to select and/or generate a transformable image and transmit it to the second user device 102b for a second user. The transformable image may represent a form of digital media which includes one or more dynamic components which can be modified based on requirements. The transformable image may be a 2-Dimensional (2D) or a 3-Dimensional (3D) graphical illustration. In some embodiments, the first user device 102a may enable a first user to select at least one transformable image from one or more transformable images stored at the first user device 102a. In some other embodiments, the first user device 102a may generate at least one transformable image based on one or more user inputs and/or user parameters. The one or more user

parameters may include, but not limited to, user chat history, user chatting patterns, user likes/dislikes and so forth. In yet another embodiment, the first user device 102a may access transformable images stored on a cloud server over the network 104. In another embodiment, the first user device 102a may implement one or more machine learning techniques to generate at least one transformable image. In some embodiments, the one or more dynamic components may be included as metadata associated with an image. The first user device 102a may be configured to transmit the at least one transformable image to the second user device 102b. The first user device 102a may include any number of suitable hardware and corresponding software components which may be required to carry out one or more functionalities of the first user device 102a. However, description of said components has been avoided for the sake of brevity.
[0037] The second user device 102b may be configured to receive the at least one transformable image from the first user device 102a. The second user device 102b may display the received at least one transformable image to the second user. In an exemplary embodiment, the second user device 102b may receive the at least one transformable image along with the associated metadata. In an embodiment, the metadata may include, but not limited to, one or more dynamic components, gestures and corresponding modifications associated with the one or more dynamic components. In an exemplary embodiment, the user gesture may be encoded in the metadata by any suitable encoding technique. In some embodiments, the second user device 102b may determine that the received image is a transformable image by utilizing metadata and may indicate it to the second user accordingly.
[0038] Upon displaying the one transformable image to the second user, the second user device 102b may receive at least one user gesture from the second user. Particularly, the second user device 102b may sense the at least one user gesture from the second user using one or more sensor units of the second user device 102b. The user gesture may include at least one of an audio gesture, a hand gesture, a face gesture or a touch gesture. The second user device 102b may determine at least one

modification of the one or more dynamic components of the at least one transformable image based on the sensed user gesture using the metadata associated with the at least one transformable image. In another embodiment, where the second user device 102b is unable to determine any modification of the one or more dynamic components of the at least one transformable image based on the sensed user gesture, the second user device 102b may modify the one or more dynamic components of the at least one transformable image using one or more machine learning techniques. In some embodiments, the machine learning techniques may intelligently identify components which may have dynamic property and a corresponding user gesture may be best suitable for said dynamic property. The machine learning techniques may assign the identified components with the identified user gesture. Thereafter, the machine learning techniques may match the sensed user gesture with assigned user gesture and perform the modification of the dynamic components based on sensed user gesture.
[0039] In an embodiment, the modification of the one or more dynamic components of the at least one transformable image may include, but not limited to at least one of topological modification comprising modifying the one or more dynamic components by at least one of scale, position and shear transformation. In such transformation, each of the one or more dynamic components may be modified independently. For example, an image with a door and window may be transformed to only door when user performs a knock gesture, thereby modifying the position of door. In another example, the second user may change the size of an object in a transformable image by pinching with two fingers on that specific object. Similarly, other topological transformation may be performed. In alternative embodiment, the second user device 102b may perform non-topological modification of the one or more dynamic components where a single gesture may be mapped with two or more dynamic components and the modification of said two or more dynamic components may be performed simultaneously. For example, an image with ten lighted candles, each candle having corresponding dynamic components may be all blown out by single user face gesture of blowing the candles.

[0040] The second user device 102b may render the modified image to the second user. In some embodiments, the modified image is an animated image comprising a sequence of intermediate interpolated images. Particularly, each of the steps performed during modification may be taken as a frame and then combined to represent the animation of the modification to illustrate the animated modified image. The second user device 102b may include any number of suitable hardware and corresponding software components which may be required to carry out one or more functionalities of the second user device 102b. However, description of said components has been avoided for the sake of brevity.
[0041] In some embodiments, each of the first user device 102a and the second user device 102b may be communicably coupled to each other via the server 106. The server 106 may be configured to provide each of the first user device 102a and the second user device 102b corresponding user interface required to achieve the desired objective of the present disclosure. In alternative embodiments, the server 106 may be configured to perform one or more steps of any of the first user device 102a and the second user device 102b based on the requirements.

In some embodiments, the memory unit 204 may include memory storage devices such as, but not limited to, Read Only Memory (ROM), Random Access Memory (RAM), flash disk, and so forth. In some embodiments, the processing unit 206 may execute a set of instructions stored in the memory unit 204 to provide a user interface to the user. The user interface may allow the user to interact within the system 100 (shown in Fig. 1).

The sensor unit 208 may be configured to identify a user gesture and transmit the resulted information to the processing unit 206 for further processing. In an alternative embodiment, the one or more sensing devices of the sensor unit 208 may transmit one

or more captured information to the processing unit 206 to identify the user gesture. In an embodiment, the sensor unit 208 may communicate the sensed user gesture to the determination unit 210.

Example of the user gesture may include, a particular sound produced by a user, a movement of hand of the user, a face expression, a touch input via the user device and so forth.
[0047] The determination unit 210 may be configured to determine the at least one modification of the one or more dynamic components of the at least one transformable image based on the sensed gesture. The determination unit 210 may inspect the metadata associated with the at least one transformable image to determine the at least one modification. In some embodiments, the determination unit 210 may employ any suitable decoding techniques to identify the modification from the metadata. In exemplary embodiment, the determination unit 210 may compare the sensed user gesture with a user gestured included in the metadata and may identify the corresponding modification assigned to that specific user gesture. In an embodiment, the determined at least one modification is directly conveyed by the determination unit 210 to the modification unit 212. In an alternative embodiment, the determination unit 210 may convey the determined at least one modification to the processing unit 206 and the processing unit 206 may accordingly transmit the determined at least one modification to the modification unit 212.
[0048] The modification unit 212 may be configured to modify the one or more dynamic components of the at least one transformable image according to the at least one determined modification.

The modification unit 212 may implement any suitable image or video processing technique which may be required to perform the desired function of the modification unit 212. In case, the determination unit 210 is unable to determine any modification of the one or more dynamic components of the at least one transformable image based on the sensed user gesture, the modification unit 212 may

be configured to modify the one or more dynamic components of the at least one transformable image using one or more machine learning techniques. The modification unit 212 may be configured to implement machine learning techniques required to perform the functionality of the modification unit 212.
