Graphic scene animation signal, corresponding method and device

Method for transmitting animation data of a graphic scene designed to be presented on at least one screen, comprising:

• an animation initialization stage in which transmission takes place of:
• a single animation mask delivered as a preamble to an animation, and allocating to at least one object of a set of objects an elementary mask comprising:
• an identifier of the object, as defined in the graphic scene to be animated;
• and
• a description of at least one dynamic characterization field of the object, representative of one characteristic of the object that can be modified;
• and
• an animation stage in which transmission takes place of animation frames comprising, according to an order defined by said mask, data updating the dynamic characterization fields of the objects, enabling them to be modified.

Animation device for a graphic scene designed to be presented on at least one screen, comprising:

• means for constructing an initialization of an animation, using:
• a single animation mask, delivered in advance to the animation, and allocating to at least one object of a set of objects an elementary mask comprising:
• an identifier of the object, as defined in the graphic scene to be animated;
• and
• a description of at least one dynamic characterization field of the object, representing a characteristic of the object that can be modified;
• and
• dynamic animation means of the scene, using animation frames, comprising, according to an order defined by the mask, update data of the dynamic characterization fields of the objects in order to modify them.
