Abstract
An apparatus and method for providing a highly-realistic animation effect in a portable terminal. An apparatus for providing an animation effect in a portable terminal includes an animation processing unit increasing the realism of an animation by performing a composite animation scheme that continuously processes a key frame animation, which is represented in a fixed pattern, and a physical animation that is realistically represented according to peripheral environments. The apparatus also includes a display unit displaying an animation played by the animation processing unit
Claims20
An apparatus for providing an animation effect in a portable terminal, comprising:
- an animation processing unit configured to increase the realism of an animation by performing a composite animation scheme that continuously processes a key frame animation that is represented in a fixed pattern, and a physical animation that is realistically represented according to peripheral environments;
- and
- a display unit configured to display an animation played by the animation processing unit.
A method for providing an animation effect in a portable terminal, comprising:
- increasing the realism of an animation by performing a composite animation scheme that continuously processes a key frame animation that is represented in a fixed pattern, and a physical animation that is realistically represented according to peripheral environments;
- and
- displaying an animation played by the animation processing unit.
An animation processing device for providing an animation effect, comprising:
- a key frame animation engine configured to perform a key frame animation scheme;
- a physical animation engine configured to perform a physical animation scheme when a portion of the key frame animation scheme is ended;
- and
- a property information extracting unit configured to extract physical property information in the key frame animation scheme to be used as an input of the physical animation scheme.
