Abstract: A method of user availability estimation includes recording a timing of a plurality of first user sessions during in which the first user performs one or more tasks of a predetermined type, estimating a timing of a subsequent session of the first user based upon the recorded timings of the plurality of first user sessions, for the subsequent session of the first user, ordering for completion by the first user one or more tasks of the predetermined type, having respective durations, that fit within the estimated timing of the subsequent session.

Abstract: A method of virtual character modelling includes: ofdefining a damage map for all or part of a virtual character, the damage map having a form corresponding to a texture map applied to the all or part of the virtual character, with points on the damage map corresponding to points on the virtual character; assigning initial damage values to each point on the damage map; recording on the damage map damage caused by a spatial interaction of a virtual damage agent at one or more of the points on the virtual character corresponding to the points on the damage map by altering the damage values that those points; and modifying an aspect of the virtual character in response to the recorded damage.

Abstract: A method for protecting personal space in a multi-user virtual environment includes the steps of generating an avatar for a target user in the multi-user virtual environment, determining a relationship score between the target user and a peer user, creating a personal space around the avatar of the target user, wherein the dimensions of the personal space is computed based on the relationship score with the peer user, detecting the peer user's avatar crossing the boundary of the personal space, and applying rules to the peer user to restrict his/her interactions with the target user.
