Abstract
A system for creating an animation may include a template adapted for receiving animation content from a user and configured to guide the user in providing animation content. The system may also include a computing system configured to receive an image of a completed version of the template and generate an animation based on the completed template. The system may allow for generating an animation from a single image by identifying and extracting particular regions of the image and using their spatial relationship to sequence the regions in time rather than space.
Claims33
An animation template, comprising:
- a substrate configured for receiving animation content from a user;
- a foundation arranged on the substrate and defining a series of juxtaposed positions configured to guide a user in the spatial placement of the animation content;
- a template information feature arranged on the substrate and configured for providing template information to a computing system.

20-22. (canceled)
A method of creating an animation, comprising:
- receiving or selecting a template having a series of juxtaposed positions for receiving animation content;
- providing animation content in the series of juxtaposed positions;
- capturing an image of the template;
- directing processing of the image to generate an animation;
- and
- running and viewing the resulting animation.

A method for creating an animation, the method comprising:
- receiving an image of a template, the template having a foundation defining a series of juxtaposed positions having content therein;
- detecting an identifier within the image using an identifier detector and using the identifier to define a boundary of a portion of the image to be used to generate an animation;
- processing the image with a compiler, to compile an animation;
- and
- outputting the compiled animation.
