Methods and Systems for Positioning Animated Images Within a Dynamic Keyboard Interface - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18351890 titled 'Methods and Systems for Positioning Animated Images Within a Dynamic Keyboard Interface

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is about positioning animated images within a dynamic keyboard interface.

  • The methods and systems described in the application can receive data indicating the selection of a specific animated image from a variety of animated images presented by a dynamic keyboard interface.
  • The application can also receive data indicating the context of the dynamic keyboard interface or the associated application, based on which the animated image was selected.
  • Based on the selection data and context data, the application can determine the position within the dynamic keyboard interface to present the selected animated image.
  • This positioning is done in response to data indicating a subsequent context of the dynamic keyboard interface, the application, or a different application.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure is directed to positioning animated images within a dynamic keyboard interface. In particular, the methods and systems of the present disclosure can: receive data indicating a selection of a particular animated image from amongst a plurality of different animated images presented by a dynamic keyboard interface provided in association with an application; receive data indicating a context of: the dynamic keyboard interface, and/or the application based at least in part on which the plurality of different animated images was selected for presentation by the dynamic keyboard interface; and determine, based at least in part on the data indicating the selection and the data indicating the context, a position within the dynamic keyboard interface for presenting the particular animated image in response to data indicating a subsequent context of the dynamic keyboard interface, the application, and/or a different and distinct application.
