Technologies for determining and displaying visuals associated with earning digital rewards

An electronic device for managing digital animations, comprising:

• a memory storing a set of computer-readable instructions;
• a user interface;
• a transceiver configured to connect to a remote server via a network connection;
• and
• one or more processors interfaced with the memory, the transceiver, and the user interface, and configured to execute the set of computer-readable instructions to cause the one or more processors to:
• download, from the remote server via the transceiver, a plurality of digital animations for use by a software application executable by the electronic device,
• locally store, in the memory, the plurality of digital animations, wherein the plurality of digital animations are associated with a plurality of reward levels, wherein for each reward level of the plurality of reward levels, there are multiple digital animations of the plurality of digital animations, and wherein each digital animation of the plurality of digital animations is an electronic file comprising animation data in a vector format,
• receive, via the user interface, a selection of a digital reward functionality of the software application,
• in response to receiving the selection of the digital reward functionality:
• select one digital animation of the multiple digital animations for each reward level of the plurality of reward level, and
• for each digital animation that was selected:
• preload that digital animation into the memory, and
• programmatically start and pause that digital animation that was preloaded,
• wherein the remote server identifies, from an electronic document associated with an individual, a purchase made by the individual,
• identify a digital animation, of the digital animations that were programmatically started and paused, that corresponds to a reward level, of the plurality of reward levels, associated with the purchase made by the individual,
• load, using an animation library, the digital animation into a container element in the user interface of the electronic device, and
• programmatically present, within the container element in the user interface, the digital animation that was loaded, wherein the digital animation being preloaded into the memory reduces a delay between when the digital animation is identified and when the digital animation is programmatically presented.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store instructions executable by one or more processors of an electronic device, the instructions comprising:

• instructions for downloading, from a remote server, a plurality of digital animations for use by a software application executable by the electronic device;
• instructions for locally storing the plurality of digital animations, wherein the plurality of digital animations are associated with a plurality of reward levels, wherein for each reward level of the plurality of reward levels, there are multiple digital animations of the plurality of digital animations, and wherein each digital animation of the plurality of digital animations is an electronic file comprising animation data in a vector format;
• instructions for receiving, via a user interface of the electronic device, a selection of a digital reward functionality of the software application;
• instructions for, in response to receiving the selection of the digital reward functionality:
• selecting one digital animation of the multiple digital animations for each reward level of the plurality of reward level, and
• for each digital animation that was selected:
• preloading that digital animation into memory, and
• programmatically starting and pausing that digital animation that was preloaded,
• wherein the remote server identifies, from an electronic document associated with an individual, a purchase made by the individual;
• instructions for identifying a digital animation, of the digital animations that were programmatically started and paused, that corresponds to a reward level, of the plurality of reward levels, associated with the purchase made by the individual;
• instructions for loading, using an animation library, the digital animation into a container element in the user interface of the electronic device;
• and
• instructions for programmatically presenting, within the container element in the user interface, the digital animation that was loaded, wherein the digital animation being preloaded into the memory reduces a delay between when the digital animation is identified and when the digital animation is programmatically presented.
