CREATION AND EXECUTION OF ANIMATION MODE FOR GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC G06T13/00 G06F3/14 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to components and subsystems of computer system for maintenance and provision of graphical user interface presentations. System of graphical image animation is disclosed, which supports time variation of image elements properties for elements inside the graphical image. Animation system uses image structure for maintenance of image elements set. Image elements include value of variable property. System of animation also uses system of properties that supports properties related to image elements that are supported by image structure. Properties include dynamic properties, which may vary in time and, accordingly, affect presentation of corresponding element on graphical image. Animation system contains animation classes, from which the exemplars of animation objects are created, which are related to the property of image element during execution. Exemplars of animation object provide time variable values that affect values assigned to dynamic properties.

EFFECT: provides more efficient and flexible execution of animation modes in images of graphical user interface.
