1. Function
The Entity Body Description (PGM‑EBD) AIM is a Sub-AIM of A‑User Formation (PGM‑AUF). It produces the description of the body of the Portable Avatar that utters the response. It uses the Body Motion Objects produced by Motion Object Generation, with the text and the Body Personal Status, to produce the Body Descriptors.
PGM‑EBD:
- Receives the AUC-AUF Request, the Final Response, the Body Motion Objects and the Body Personal Status.
- Describes the body behaviour (posture, gestures) that accompanies the response, in accordance with the Body Personal Status.
- Produces the Body Descriptors.
- Reports its processing with an AUC-AUF Response.
