Abstract: A method of finding a new social network service friend for a player belonging to a social network service and having a friend group including one or more player-accepted friends includes recognizing the player, automatically identifying an observer within a threshold proximity to the player, and adding the observer to the friend group of the player in the social network service if the observer satisfies a friending criteria of the player.

Abstract: One or more physical characteristics of each of multiple users are detected. These physical characteristics of a user can include physical attributes of the user (e.g., the user's height, length of the user's legs) and/or physical skills of the user (e.g., how high the user can jump). Based on these detected one or more physical characteristics of the users, two or more of the multiple users to share an online experience (e.g., play a multi-player game) are identified.

Abstract: An improved hanger 19 for a lavatory treatment device 10 which comprises: a top plate portion 20 which from an approximate midpoint 21, depends a downwardly extending stalk 22, wherein the top plate portion 20 includes a left arm section 20A section and a right arm section 20B which extends outwardly from the midpoint 21 and in a forward direction with respect to the stalk 22, wherein the left arm section 20A and the right arm section 20B are preferably essentially symmetrical about the midpoint 21 and are angled forwardly with respect to the stalk 22, and at the ends of each of the left arm section 20A section and a right arm section 20B are each a downwardly extending to grip arm, 23A, 23B, which grip arms 23A, 23B are parallel and spaced part from one another, and also each is located forward of the stalk 22.

Abstract: In accordance with one or more aspects, for a particular user one or more other users associated with that particular user are identified based on a social graph of that particular user. An avatar of at least one of the other users is obtained and included as a non-player-character in a game being played by that particular user. The particular user can provide requests to interact with the avatar of the second user (e.g., calling out the name of the second user, tapping the avatar of the second user on the shoulder, etc.), these requests being invitations for the second user to join in a game with the first user. An indication of such an invitation is presented to the second user, which can, for example, accept the invitation to join in a game with the first user.

Abstract: A method of matching a player of a multi-player game with a remote participant includes recognizing the player, automatically identifying an observer within a threshold proximity to the player, using an identity of the observer to find one or more candidates to play as the remote participant of the multi-player game, and when selecting the remote participant, choosing a candidate from the one or more candidates above a non-candidate if the candidate satisfies a matching criteria.

Abstract: Emotional response data of a particular user, when the particular user is interacting with each of multiple other users, is collected. Using the emotional response data, an emotion of the particular user when interacting with each of multiple other users is determined. Based on the determined emotions, one or more of the multiple other users are identified to share an online experience with the particular user.

Abstract: Synchronous and asynchronous communications between avatars is allowed. For synchronous communications, when multiple users are playing different games of the same game title and when the avatars of the multiple users are at the same location in their respective games they can communicate with one another, thus allowing the users of those avatars to communicate with one another. For asynchronous communications, an avatar of a particular user is left behind at a particular location in a game along with a recorded communication. When other users of other games are at that particular location, the avatar of that particular user is displayed and the recorded communication is presented to the other users.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for assisting in understanding and tracking the potential risks and rewards of investment projects so that they can be efficiently evaluated for approval and tracked for progress. For example, in one embodiment, an investment system causes display of input requests and receives responses to the input requests from conception of the investment project to completion of the investment project.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for decorating a display environment. In one embodiment, a user may decorate a display environment by making one or more gestures, using voice commands, using a suitable interface device, and/or combinations thereof. A voice command can be detected for user selection of an artistic feature, such as, for example, a color, a texture, an object, and a visual effect for decorating in a display environment. The user can also gesture for selecting a portion of the display environment for decoration. Next, the selected portion of the display environment can be altered based on the selected artistic feature. The user's motions can be reflected in the display environment by an avatar. In addition, a virtual canvas or three-dimensional object can be displayed in the display environment for decoration by the user.
