System and method for presenting moving graphic animations in inactive and active states

A system for presenting a moving graphic animation in an inactive state and an active state, comprising:

• a memory storing instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
• determine an inactivity determination that a touchpad provided on a vehicle has not received a touch input in a predetermined amount of time;
• present a user interface in the inactive state in response to the inactivity determination, wherein a background graphic animation and a user interface object graphic animation are presented on the user interface in an inactive format, wherein presenting the user interface in the inactive state includes presenting the background graphic animation as a moving graphic that includes at least one feature moving in a first direction;
• determine that a touch input is provided on the touchpad at a mapped position to map a selected user interface object presented on the user interface based on at least one of:
• an absolute mapped position and a zone coordinate mapped position of the touch input received on the touchpad;
• determine a second direction based on at least one of:
• the absolute mapped position and the zone coordinate mapped position of the touch input received on the touchpad, wherein the second direction is different than the first direction;
• and
• present the user interface in the active state, wherein the background graphic animation and the user interface object graphic animation are presented on the user interface in an active format, wherein the background graphic animation is presented as a moving graphic moving in the second direction to indicate correspondence of the mapped position of the touch input to the selected user interface object, wherein the moving graphic includes the at least one feature with a hovering effect emitting out from the user interface object graphic animation of the selected user interface object.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer, which includes a processor perform a method, the method comprising:

• determining an inactivity determination that a touchpad provided on a vehicle has not received a touch input in a predetermined amount of time;
• presenting a user interface in an inactive state in response to the inactivity determination, wherein a background graphic animation and a user interface object graphic animation are presented on the user interface in an inactive format, wherein presenting the user interface in the inactive state includes presenting the background graphic animation as a moving graphic that includes at least one feature moving in a first direction;
• determining that a touch input is provided on the touchpad at a mapped position to map a selected user interface object presented on the user interface based on at least one of:
• an absolute mapped position and a zone coordinate mapped position and a zone coordinate mapped position of the touch input received on the touchpad;
• determining a second direction based on at least one of:
• the absolute mapped position and the zone coordinate mapped position of the touch input received on the touchpad, wherein the second direction is different than the first direction;
• and
• presenting the user interface in an active state, wherein the background graphic animation and the user interface object graphic animation are presented on the user interface in an active format, wherein the background graphic animation is presented as a moving graphic, moving in the second direction to indicate correspondence of the mapped position of the touch input to the selected user interface object, wherein the moving graphic includes the at least one feature with a hovering effect emitting out from the user interface object graphic animation of the selected user interface object.
