Apparatus and method to generate an animated graphical object - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054713 titled 'Apparatus and method to generate an animated graphical object

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for animating a graphical object based on animation parameters, where the graphical object includes a frame with a trajectory defining its shape.

  • The method receives a request to animate a graphical object in a design space based on animation parameters.
  • It determines an animation path for the frame by finding a moving path between pairs of points on the trajectory.
  • The animation path is displayed on a display.
    • Potential Applications:**
  • Animation software for creating dynamic visual effects in movies, video games, and other digital media.
  • Interactive design tools for creating animated graphics on websites and mobile apps.
  • Virtual reality and augmented reality applications for immersive user experiences.
    • Problems Solved:**
  • Simplifying the process of animating graphical objects by automatically determining animation paths based on specified parameters.
  • Enhancing the visual appeal and interactivity of digital content through dynamic animations.
    • Benefits:**
  • Streamlining the animation process for designers and developers.
  • Increasing the efficiency and accuracy of creating animated graphics.
  • Enhancing user engagement and experience with visually appealing animations.


Original Abstract Submitted

a computer-implemented method for animating a graphical object based on animation parameters, the graphical object comprising an element comprising a frame comprising a trajectory defining at least a part of the shape of the graphical object wherein the trajectory comprises a first side and a second side, and the frame comprises a plurality of pairs of points, each pair comprising a first point on the first side of the trajectory and a second point on the second side of the trajectory. the method comprises receiving, a request to animate a graphical object in a design space based on one or more animation parameters; and determining an animation path for the frame in the design space by determining a moving path from a first pair of the plurality of pairs of points to a second pair; and displaying the animation path on a display.
