Embodiment Construction

[0013] review

[0014] Conventional techniques that utilize animation to display movement on a user interface (eg, panning in response to a touch gesture) are often unpredictable. Consequently, user interaction with these traditional technologies is often inefficient and leads to user frustration.

[0015] Panning animation techniques are described. In one or more implementations, panning animation techniques are configured to respond proportionally to user input, thereby giving users a degree of predictability when interacting with a user interface utilizing the techniques. These technologies can be configured to support a wide variety of different functionalities. For example, these techniques may be configured to support a maximum distance and / or a maximum time to be used to output the animation. For example, the distance may be based on the amount of display area associated with the user interface where the movement is to be displayed.

[0016] Additionally, these te...

Abstract

Panning animation techniques are described. In one or more implementations, an input is recognized by a computing device as corresponding to a panning animation. A distance is calculated that is to be traveled by the panning animation in a user interface output by computing device, the distance limited by a predefined maximum distance. The panning animation is output by the computing device to travel the calculated distance.

Description

Background technique [0001] Users have a variety of different ways to navigate through the user interface. However, conventional techniques utilized to display movement corresponding to such navigation can be unpredictable and result in an incomplete user experience. [0002] For example, traditional techniques that involve animation to show movement through a user interface can be unpredictable. For example, the user may not be able to regularly determine where on the user interface the movement involved in the animation will "end". This unpredictability can lead to inefficient use of the computing device's resources. For example, the user may provide an input that causes the user interface to navigate beyond the intended location. Thus, the user may provide additional input in order to navigate back to the desired location, which may be time consuming, inefficient and cause user frustration. Contents of the invention [0003] Describes panning animation techniques. In...
