Abstract
At least certain embodiments of the present disclosure include a method for animating a display region, windows, or views displayed on a display of a device. The method includes starting at least two animations. The method further includes determining the progress of each animation. The method further includes completing each animation based on a single timer.
Claims25
A machine implemented method for animating views displayed on a display of a device, comprising:
- starting at least two animations;
- determining the progress of each animation;
- and
- updating each of the at least two animations based on a single timer.
A machine readable medium storing executable program instructions which when executed cause a data processing system to perform a method comprising:
- starting at least two animations;
- determining the progress of each animation;
- and
- updating each of the at least two animations based on a single timer.
In an environment with a user interface software interacting with a software application, an apparatus, comprising:
- means for starting at least two animations;
- means for determining the progress of each animation;
- and
- means for updating each of at least two animations based on a single timer.
A machine implemented method for animations displayed on a display of a data processing device, comprising:
- animating a plurality of animations with a single animation timer provided by a user interface animator.
A machine readable medium storing executable program instructions which when executed cause a data processing system to perform a method comprising:
- animating a plurality of animations with a single animation timer provided by a user interface animator.
In an environment with a user interface software interacting with a software application, an apparatus, comprising:
- means for animating a plurality of animations with a single animation timer provided by a user interface animator.
A machine implemented method for animations displayed on a display of a device, comprising:
- animating a plurality of animations with a single animation timer provided by a timing signal associated with a redraw interval of a graphics unit.
A machine readable medium storing executable program instructions which when executed cause a data processing system to perform a method comprising:
- animating a plurality of animations with a single animation timer provided by a timing signal associated with a redraw interval of a graphics unit.
In an environment with a user interface software interacting with a software application, an apparatus, comprising:
- means for animating a plurality of animations with a single animation timer provided by a timing signal associated with a redraw interval of a graphics unit.
A device comprising:
- an input panel which is configured to receive user input;
- a display device integrated with the input panel;
- a central processing unit coupled to the input panel, the processor being configured to create and animate objects, based on at least the user input,
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory being configured to store the objects;
- and
- one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the programs including:
- instructions for detecting a movement of an user input on or near the input panel;
- instructions for animating one or more views displayed on the display device in response to detecting the user input;
- instructions for completing the animating of the one or more views displayed on the display device based on a single timer.
