Abstract
Systems and methods for virtual opening of packages such as boxes and packs of cards are provided herein. Exemplary systems may execute methods via one or more processors, which are programmed to generate a visual representation of a package, receive input from the user, the input indicating opening of the package, and provide feedback to the user corresponding to the opening of the package that at least partially mimics a physical opening of the package.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- logic encoded in one or more tangible media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to perform operations comprising:
- transmitting a visual representation of a package of a set of virtual cards to a client device for display to a user;
- receiving a touch-based input from the user on the package displayed via a graphical user interface of the client device, the touch-based input indicating opening of the package by the user;
- transmitting, to the client device, signals that are used by the client device to provide haptic feedback to the user from the client device in conjunction with the opening of the package, the opening of the package comprising tearing of the package so as to expose at least one of the set of virtual cards;
- and
- generating for display the at least one of the set of virtual cards on the graphical user interface.

A client device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- logic encoded in one or more tangible media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a selection of one of a plurality of packs of virtual cards displayed on a graphical user interface of the client device, the selection received from a user of the client device;
- transmitting a visual representation of a package of the selected pack of virtual cards to the client device for display to the user;
- displaying the selected pack of virtual cards on the graphical user interface to the user;
- receiving a touch-based input at the graphical user interface from the user on the selected pack of virtual cards, the touch-based input indicating opening of the selected pack of virtual cards;
- transmitting, to the client device, signals that are used by the client device to provide haptic feedback to the user from the client device in conjunction with a package opening animation to the user as the user performs the touch-based input, the package opening animation providing a visual cue mimicking a physical opening of the package, the opening of the package comprising tearing of the package so as to expose at least one card of a set of virtual cards;
- and
- displaying the set of virtual cards of the selected pack of virtual cards on the graphical user interface.

A method comprising:
- transmitting a visual representation of a package of a set of virtual cards to a client device for display to a user;
- receiving a touch-based input on the package of the set of virtual cards, the package displayed to the user via a graphical user interface of the client device, the touch-based input indicating opening of the package of the set of virtual cards;
- transmitting, to the client device, signals that are used by the client device to provide haptic feedback to the user from the client device in conjunction with a package opening animation to the user as the user performs the touch-based input, the package opening animation providing a visual cue mimicking a physical opening of the package, the opening of the package comprising tearing of the package so as to expose at least one card of the set of virtual cards;
- and
- generating for display the at least one card of the set of virtual cards on the graphical user interface.
