Abstract

A server may assign human personality traits to inanimate objects. In an example, a server may effectuate operations that include obtaining information about an object over a period; comparing the information to usage factors, interaction factors, or environmental factors that are linked to thresholds for a personality; based on the comparing, assigning the personality to the object; and based on the personality of the object, assigning an avatar to the object.

 sending a request to post information about the object to social media, wherein the sending is based on the personality of the object.   
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 comparing the first information to usage factors;   comparing the second information to interaction factors;   comparing the third information to environmental factors; and   
       wherein the assigning the personality to the object is based on the comparing. 
     
     
         9 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
 obtaining first information about an object over a first period wherein the first information comprises information generated by the object including information about a usage of the object or information about usage of resources by the object during a usage of the object, or a combination of these;   obtaining second information about the object over the first period, wherein the second information comprises information about interactions of the object with one or more additional inanimate objects;   obtaining third information about the object over the first period, wherein the third information is generated by a sensor in proximity to the object;   scoring the first information, second information and third information on a personality scale; and   based on the scoring, assigning a personality to the object.   
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 comparing the first information to usage factors;   comparing the second information to interaction factors;   comparing the third information to environmental factors; and   
       wherein the assigning the personality to the object is based on the comparing. 
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 sending alerts associated with the object.   
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 determining the personality comprises introversion; and   based on the personality, sending a reduced number of alerts associated with the object.   
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 assigning an audio feature to the object, wherein the assigning the audio feature is based on the personality of the object.   
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:

         15 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 triggering the alert based on proximity of the object to another predetermined object.   
     
     
         16 . A system comprising:
 a mobile device; and   a network device in data communication with the mobile device, the network device comprising:   a processing system including a processor; and   a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
