Abstract: At least one general aspect can include a method of receiving an animation from an animation memory and selecting a character from a plurality of displayed characters. The character can include at least one of a head, a body, or a limb. The method can include applying the animation to the character to generate a customized character having the animation, and trigger posting of the customized character having the animation using an application.

Abstract: A graphic character object temporary storage stores parameters of a character and associated default values in a hierarchical data structure and one or more animation object data represented in a hierarchical data structure, the one or more animation object data having an associated animation, the graphic character object temporary storage and the animation object data being part of a local memory of a computer system. A method includes receiving a vector graphic object having character part objects which are represented as geometric shapes, displaying a two dimensional character, changing the scale of a part of the displayed two dimensional character, and storing an adjusted parameter in the graphic character object temporary storage as a percentage change from the default value, displaying a customized two dimensional character, applying keyframe data in an associated animation object data to the character parts objects, and displaying an animation according to the keyframe data.

Abstract: The system described may implement a 1-bit protocol for differential privacy for a set of client devices that transmit information to a server. Implementations of the system may leverage specialized instruction sets or engines built into the hardware or firmware of a client device to improve the efficiency of the protocol. For example, a client device may utilize these cryptographic functions to randomize information sent to the server. In one embodiment, the client device may use cryptographic functions such as hashes including SHA or block ciphers including AES. Accordingly, the system provides an efficient mechanism for implementing differential privacy.
