  • Patent number: 11153254
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which a system receives a first meme sent from a first user that is targeted to a second user. The system transforms the first meme into a second meme based on analyzing the first meme against a first user profile data corresponding to the first user and a second user profile data corresponding to the second user. The transforming includes replacing at least one element of the first meme with a second element in the second meme. The system, in turn, sends the transformed second meme to the second user.
