Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the daily development of various applications, there are numerous requirements for animation effects, such as the display and disappearance of ToastViews, the trajectory animation of page pushes, and pop-up windows. Curves are required to create these animation effects.

[0003] Although various development platforms offer a variety of motion effect development solutions, developers still need to perform a lot of parameter configuration and optimization when developing motion effects, making the motion effect development work very troublesome.

[0004] Furthermore, problems can arise during the development process after designers have generated their motion graphics design requirements. For example, different developers may achieve different results for the same animation; or the same animation may be implemented differently on different development platforms.

[0037] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments according to this application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments of this application. It should be understood that this application is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein.

[0038] Scene Overview

[0039] Figure 1 The illustration shows a schematic diagram of an application scenario for an interactive method for adjusting curves according to an embodiment of this application.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the interactive method for adjusting curves according to embodiments of this application can be used to graphically adjust curves used to achieve dynamic effects at the design end. For example, user U can adjust the curve's graphic on a mobile device, such as a smartphone T, at the design end. Here, the smartphone T first displays a predetermined curve to user U, and then user U adjusts the displayed pattern of the predetermined curve through adjustment operations on the smartphone T's screen, such as swiping, thereby obtaining the adjusted curve. Those skilled in the art will understand that user U can operate in various ways; for example, the user can perform voice operations, gesture operations captured by a camera, or operations acquired by sensors, such as pressure sensors.

[0041] In this embodiment of the application, the interactive method for adjusting curves according to this embodiment can adjust a predetermined number of curves according to the process described above. Through this predetermined number of curves, the desired dynamic effects can be achieved, such as show / disappear effects, page fade-in / fade-out effects, and window pop-up effects. Therefore, this predetermined number of curves can also be referred to as basic curves. Various dynamic effects can be achieved through combinations of basic curves.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the interactive method for adjusting curves according to embodiments of this application can not only adjust curves graphically, but also further determine the descriptive parameters and their ranges of the adjusted curves at the design end T after the adjustment is completed. In embodiments of this application, depending on the type of curve, some curves can be defined with existing descriptive parameters and their ranges, while some curves require new descriptive parameters and their ranges, which will be described in further detail below.

[0043] In this way, since the curve, its descriptive parameters, and the parameter range of the descriptive parameters are determined at the design end T, when the development end D needs to use a certain curve to develop an application with corresponding dynamic effects, the required curve and its determined descriptive parameters can be sent to the development end D, so that the development end D can accurately realize the dynamic effects required by the design end T.

[0044] Alternatively, if the development end D needs to use a certain curve to develop an application with corresponding dynamic effects, it can also actively retrieve various curves, their descriptive parameters, and the parameter ranges of the descriptive parameters determined by the design end T, thereby ensuring that the developed dynamic effects meet the requirements.

[0045] Without using the interactive method for adjusting curves according to the embodiments of this application, the resulting effects will vary significantly due to differences in the parameters and implementation code used to describe the curves on different development platforms, such as Android, iOS, and CSS, for the same dynamic effect. Furthermore, the parameters and implementation code for the same dynamic effect also differ depending on the design tools used, such as After Effects, Flinto, and Principle.

[0046] In other words, the interactive method for adjusting curves according to the embodiments of this application not only achieves curve unification across the design end T and the development end D, but also achieves curve unification between different design tools used on the design end T and different development platforms on the development end D.

[0047] Furthermore, for a specific curve used to achieve a certain dynamic effect, if its descriptive parameters and their range cannot be determined, there is a problem in describing the curve from the design end (T), especially for curves with complex shapes. In other words, because the design end (T) cannot provide accurate parameters to the development end (D), the dynamic effect implemented by the development end (D) has a high degree of randomness. For example, for the dynamic effect of a pop-up window, an overshoot curve is generally required. However, when creating the specifications, only the displacement parameters could be simply described, which is not very helpful to the developers. To accurately reproduce the dynamic effect required by the design end (S), designers and developers need to adjust the curve bit by bit to achieve the best effect.

[0048] Furthermore, for the development team (D), since not every developer is familiar with the curve functions, it may lead to the downgraded application of the curve, thus affecting the dynamic effect.

[0049] The interactive method for adjusting curves according to embodiments of this application can solve the problems of poor descriptiveness at the design end T and poor adjustability at the development end D by determining the descriptive parameters and their ranges of the curve at the design end T.

[0050] In this embodiment, the design terminal T and the development terminal D can be various types of terminal devices, such as desktop computers, laptop computers, smartphones, etc. Alternatively, the design terminal T and the development terminal D can also be server devices used for the design and development of dynamic effects.

[0051] The interactive method for adjusting curves according to embodiments of this application will now be described in further detail.

[0052] Exemplary methods

[0053] Figure 2 The illustration shows a flowchart of an interactive method for adjusting a curve according to an embodiment of this application.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the interactive method for adjusting a curve according to an embodiment of this application includes the following steps.

[0055] Step S110: In response to the operation of selecting a predetermined curve for achieving the dynamic effect, the predetermined curve is displayed. That is, in this embodiment of the application, the predetermined curve for achieving the dynamic effect is displayed to make the curve adjustment more intuitive.

[0056] Step S120: In response to the adjustment operation of the predetermined curve, the display pattern of the predetermined curve is adjusted to obtain the adjusted curve. That is, in order to intuitively adjust the curve, in this embodiment of the application, the display pattern of the predetermined curve is directly adjusted. For example, the user can drag a part of the predetermined curve to change the shape of the curve, thereby obtaining the adjusted curve.

[0057] Step S130: Determine the description parameters and their values ​​of the adjusted curve. That is, in order to achieve uniformity in dynamic effects across design and development ends, and across different design tools and development platforms, in this embodiment of the application, it is desirable to unify the display effect of a specific curve used to achieve dynamic effects. Therefore, in order to accurately describe the curve, it is necessary to determine the curve's description parameters and their range. Here, some curves can be described using existing description parameters, while some curves require new description parameters. In other words, by determining the curve's description parameters and their range, the curve can be parameterized.

[0058] In this embodiment of the application, depending on the different dynamic effects to be achieved, the predetermined curve is divided into different types of curves, thereby realizing the componentization of the curve and avoiding the need to repeatedly adjust the curve in order to achieve the same dynamic effect in the same scene, which is prone to inconsistency.

[0059] Figure 3 Figures (A) to (I) illustrate nine curves with default parameter values ​​in an interactive method for adjusting curves according to an embodiment of this application.

[0060] Figure 3 Figure (A) illustrates a linear curve, which can be described with existing descriptive parameters and their ranges. Specifically, the descriptive parameters of the linear curve may include the coordinates (X1, Y1), such as (0,0), the coordinates (X2, Y2), such as (1,1), the duration, and the delay.

[0061] Figure 3 Figure (B) illustrates the acceleration curve, which can be described using existing descriptive parameters and their ranges. Specifically, the descriptive parameters of the acceleration curve may include the coordinates of control point 1 (X1, Y1), such as (0.4, 0), the coordinates of control point 2 (X2, Y2), such as (1, 1), as well as the duration and delay.

[0062] Figure 3 Figure (C) illustrates the deceleration curve, which can be described using existing descriptive parameters and their ranges. Specifically, the descriptive parameters of the deceleration curve may include the coordinates (X1, Y1) of control point 1, such as (0,0), the coordinates (X2, Y2) of control point 2, such as (0.1,1), as well as the duration and delay.

[0063] Figure 3 (D) illustrates the standard curve, which can be described by existing descriptive parameters and their ranges. Specifically, the descriptive parameters of the standard curve may include the coordinates (X1, Y1) of control point 1, such as (0.4, 0), the coordinates (X2, Y2) of control point 2, such as (0.1, 1), as well as the duration and delay.

[0064] Figure 3Figure (E) illustrates the anticipate curve. In addition to the existing descriptive parameters and their ranges, the anticipate curve requires newly defined additional descriptive parameters and their ranges. Specifically, the existing descriptive parameters of the anticipate curve may include the coordinates of control point 1 (X1, Y1), such as (0.33, 0), the coordinates of control point 2 (X2, Y2), such as (0.67, 1), and the duration and delay. Furthermore, for the anticipate curve, newly defined additional descriptive parameters are required, including the coordinates of control point 3 (X3, Y3), such as (0.33, 0), the coordinates of control point 4 (X4, Y4), such as (0.2, 1), and the damping value, such as 0.2.

[0065] Figure 3 Figure (F) illustrates the overshoot curve. In addition to the existing descriptive parameters and their ranges, the overshoot curve requires newly defined additional descriptive parameters and their ranges. Specifically, the existing descriptive parameters of the overshoot curve may include the coordinates of control point 1 (X1, Y1), such as (0.33, 0), the coordinates of control point 2 (X2, Y2), such as (0.3, 1), and the duration and delay. Furthermore, for the desired curve, newly defined additional descriptive parameters are required, including the coordinates of control point 3 (X3, Y3), such as (0.33, 0), the coordinates of control point 4 (X4, Y4), such as (0.5, 1), and the damping value, such as 1.2.

[0066] Figure 3 The diagram (G) illustrates the spring curve, which has previously defined descriptive parameters such as mass, stiffness, damping, initial velocity, duration, and delay. However, the parameter ranges for these parameters are not defined, thus preventing a precise curve description. In this embodiment, for example, the values ​​of the spring curve parameters can be defined as: mass = 0.7, stiffness = 380, damping = 10, initial velocity = -2, duration = 1000ms, and delay = 0ms.

[0067] Figure 3The diagram (H) illustrates a bounce curve, which has previously defined descriptive parameters such as damping, initial velocity, duration, and delay. However, the parameter ranges for these parameters are not defined, thus preventing a precise curve description. In this embodiment, for example, the values ​​of each parameter of the bounce curve can be defined as damping = 1, initial velocity = 1, duration = 1000ms, and delay = 0ms.

[0068] Figure 3 Figure (I) illustrates a cosine curve, for which no descriptive parameters or their ranges have been previously defined. Therefore, in this embodiment, new descriptive parameters and their ranges are defined. Specifically, the descriptive parameters and their ranges for the cosine curve can be defined as follows: damping = 1, period = 1, duration = 400ms, and delay = 0ms.

[0069] Therefore, in the interactive method for adjusting curves according to embodiments of this application, the predetermined number of curves includes: curves of a first category described by existing descriptive parameters and their parameter ranges; curves of a second category described by existing descriptive parameters and their parameter ranges and additional descriptive parameters and their parameter ranges; curves of a third category described by existing descriptive parameters and their additionally defined parameter ranges; and curves of a fourth category described by additionally defined descriptive parameters and their parameter ranges.

[0070] Furthermore, in the above-described interactive method for adjusting curves, the first category of curves includes linear curves, acceleration curves, deceleration curves, and standard curves; the second category of curves includes desired curves and transition curves; the third category of curves includes elastic curves and bouncing curves; and the fourth category of curves includes cosine curves.

[0071] Furthermore, as described above, in the interactive method for adjusting a curve according to embodiments of this application, the description parameters of the curve, in addition to having a parameter range, may have default values ​​within the parameter range, thereby presenting a curve with a typical form having default values, such as those described above. Figure 3 As shown in (A) to (I).

[0072] Therefore, in this embodiment of the application, when displaying the predetermined curve, the descriptive parameters of the predetermined curve and their parameter ranges can be displayed simultaneously. Additionally, if a predetermined curve with a default shape is displayed, the default values ​​of the descriptive parameters of the predetermined curve are also displayed.

[0073] That is, in the interactive method for adjusting a curve according to the embodiments of this application, displaying the predetermined curve includes: displaying the descriptive parameters of the predetermined curve and their parameter ranges.

[0074] Furthermore, in the above-described interactive method for adjusting the curve, displaying the description parameters and their range of the predetermined curve includes displaying the default values ​​of the description parameters of the predetermined curve.

[0075] In addition, in this embodiment of the application, besides directly operating on the pattern of the predetermined curve to adjust the predetermined curve, the curve itself can also be adjusted by adjusting the curve description parameters, which can reduce the interface cost between the design end and the development end.

[0076] That is, in the interactive method for adjusting a curve according to the embodiments of this application, adjusting the display pattern of the predetermined curve to obtain an adjusted curve in response to the adjustment operation of the predetermined curve includes: adjusting the one or more parameters within the parameter range of one or more parameters in the description parameters of the predetermined curve; and adjusting the display pattern of the predetermined curve based on the changes of the one or more parameters to obtain an adjusted curve.

[0077] For example, for an elastic curve or a spring-like curve, its damping parameter or initial velocity parameter can be adjusted to obtain the desired curve shape.

[0078] In this way, dynamic effects created using different design tools, such as After Effects, Flinto, and Principle, can be reproduced and tested by adjusting the curves. Furthermore, matching parameters and corresponding dynamic effects can be obtained by freely editing the curve's description parameters and their values.

[0079] Furthermore, for elastic dynamic effects that are difficult to define (such as elastic effects, bouncing effects, etc.), the interactive method for adjusting curves according to the embodiments of this application can provide a standard parameterization scheme, and through precise parameter editing, the original curve can be optimized, making the dynamic effects of elements more vibrant.

[0080] Furthermore, as described above, the predetermined curve can be adjusted by directly manipulating the displayed pattern of the predetermined curve. That is, in the above-described interactive method for adjusting a curve, adjusting the display pattern of the predetermined curve to obtain an adjusted curve in response to an adjustment operation on the predetermined curve includes: directly adjusting the curve shape of the predetermined curve on the display pattern of the predetermined curve to obtain the adjusted curve.

[0081] In this embodiment of the application, regardless of the method used, the adjustment of the predetermined curve can be directly reflected on the displayed pattern of the predetermined curve, thereby achieving intuitiveness of the curve adjustment and making it convenient for users.

[0082] In addition, during the adjustment of the curve, since the curve may include multiple parts, and the user only wants to adjust a certain part, a part of the display pattern of the predetermined curve can be fixed while the other parts of the display pattern of the predetermined curve are adjusted.

[0083] That is, in the above-described interactive method for adjusting a curve, adjusting the display pattern of the predetermined curve to obtain an adjusted curve in response to an adjustment operation on the predetermined curve includes: fixing a portion of the display pattern of the predetermined curve and adjusting other portions of the display pattern of the predetermined curve to obtain an adjusted curve in response to an adjustment operation on the predetermined curve.

[0084] As described above, in this embodiment of the application, there may be a predetermined number of curves used to achieve dynamic effects. Therefore, before displaying the predetermined curves, a list of curves containing the predetermined curves can be displayed so that the user can select the curve they want to adjust.

[0085] That is, the interactive method for adjusting a curve according to the embodiments of this application further includes: displaying a list of curves containing the predetermined curve.

[0086] In addition, during the curve adjustment process, that is, before and after the curve adjustment, a dynamic preview effect of the curve can be further displayed. That is, in the embodiments of this application, the dynamic preview effect of the predetermined curve and / or the adjusted curve can be displayed.

[0087] Furthermore, in the interactive method for adjusting curves according to embodiments of this application, displaying a dynamic preview effect of the predetermined curve and / or the adjusted curve may include: adjusting the displacement, scaling, rotation, and transparency of the predetermined curve and / or the adjusted curve respectively in response to a request for adjustment of the displacement, scaling, rotation, and transparency of the dynamic preview effect of the predetermined curve and / or the adjusted curve.

[0088] In addition, in the interactive method for adjusting a curve according to the embodiments of this application, displaying a dynamic preview effect of the predetermined curve and / or the adjusted curve may further include: cyclically displaying the dynamic preview effect in response to a cyclic preview request for the dynamic preview effect.

[0089] As described above, after adjusting the curve to obtain the adjusted curve, the adjusted curve and its descriptive parameter values ​​can be output. For example, for a bouncing curve, damping = 1, initial velocity = 1, duration = 1000ms, and delay = 0ms. This allows for accurate reproduction of the curve on the development side. Figure 3 The elastic curve shown in (H) is a bouncing curve.

[0090] Therefore, by outputting the adjusted curve and the parameter values ​​of its descriptive parameters, the adjusted curve can be quickly and easily implemented on the development end of any development platform, thereby obtaining the dynamic effect corresponding to the adjusted curve and realizing the high reusability of the curve.

[0091] Furthermore, to further enhance the reusability of the curve on the development side, predefined code can be generated and output to represent the adjusted curve and its descriptive parameters. This predefined code can be based on different development platforms, such as iOS and Android.

[0092] In other words, after the design team determines the parameter values ​​of the curve and its descriptive parameters, they can export the iOS or Android code of the curve, thereby achieving seamless integration with the developers on the development side.

[0093] Therefore, the interactive method for adjusting a curve according to the embodiments of this application further includes: in response to the export request of the adjusted curve, outputting the parameter values ​​of the adjusted curve and its descriptive parameters.

[0094] Furthermore, in the above-described interactive method for adjusting curves, outputting the parameter values ​​of the adjusted curve and its descriptive parameters in response to the export request of the adjusted curve includes: generating and displaying predetermined code representing the parameter values ​​of the adjusted curve and its descriptive parameters in response to the export request of the adjusted curve.

[0095] Furthermore, in the above-described interactive method for adjusting curves, in response to an export request for the adjusted curve, generating and displaying predetermined code for representing parameter values ​​of the adjusted curve and its descriptive parameters includes: determining an export request for the adjusted curve for a predetermined platform type, and generating and displaying predetermined code for representing parameter values ​​of the adjusted curve and its descriptive parameters based on the platform type.

[0096] Furthermore, in the interactive method for adjusting curves according to embodiments of this application, the various determined curves, their descriptive parameters, and the parameter ranges of these parameters can be encapsulated into a Software Development Kit (SDK), allowing any development business party to directly reference them. Additionally, the code for the various curves, their descriptive parameters, and the parameter ranges of these parameters can be open-sourced, enabling anyone to freely modify the code implementation and collaborate on its development.

[0097] As described above, in the interactive method for adjusting curves according to embodiments of this application, the presentation mode of animation can be calculated using curves, such as designing various animation effects, including show and disappearance effects, page fade-in and fade-out effects, window pop-up effects, or motion effects of various moving objects. Therefore, the adjusted curves and their determined descriptive parameters and parameter values ​​according to embodiments of this application can also be used for object motion design.

[0098] Therefore, in the interactive method for adjusting a curve according to the embodiments of this application, after determining the description parameters and their values ​​of the adjusted curve, it further includes: calculating the presentation mode of the animation based on the adjusted curve having the determined description parameters and their values.

[0099] Furthermore, in the above-described interactive method for adjusting the curve, after determining the description parameters and their values ​​of the adjusted curve, the method further includes: designing the action of the object based on the adjusted curve having the determined description parameters and their values.

[0100] In the embodiments of this application, the objects used for motion design may include various moving objects in various scenarios, such as characters in a game, and other moving objects in the game, such as vehicles. Alternatively, the objects used for motion design may also include various virtual characters, such as virtual anchors, virtual customer service representatives, and virtual shopping guides in virtual live streaming.

[0101] Therefore, in the interaction method for adjusting curves according to the embodiments of this application, the motion design of the object includes at least one of the following: motion design of characters in a game, motion design of other moving objects in a game, motion design of virtual anchors in virtual live streaming, motion design of virtual customer service, and motion design of virtual shopping guides.

[0102] Example interactive interface

[0103] Figures 4A to 4D The illustration shows a schematic diagram of the interaction process of the curve interaction method according to an embodiment of this application.

[0104] like Figure 4AAs shown, in response to the selection of an elastic curve, the curve style of the elastic curve can be displayed. Furthermore, as... Figure 4B As shown, in response to an adjustment request for the elastic curve, the descriptive parameters of the elastic curve and their ranges can be displayed. Additionally, as... Figure 4B As shown, when displaying the parameter range, the default values ​​of each descriptive parameter can be displayed.

[0105] That is, in the curve interaction method according to the embodiments of this application, displaying the description parameters and parameter range of the predetermined curve includes: displaying the default values ​​of the description parameters of the predetermined curve.

[0106] In addition, such as Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown by the list icon in the upper right corner, during the interaction process of the curve interaction method according to the embodiments of this application, the user can select a predetermined curve to display. That is, the curve interaction method according to the embodiments of this application further includes displaying a list of curves containing the predetermined curve.

[0107] And, as Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown at the top, during this interaction, a dynamic preview of the selected predefined curve, such as an elastic curve, can be displayed. Furthermore, as...

Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown by the loop preview icon, this dynamic preview effect can be played in a loop.

[0108] That is, the curve interaction method according to the embodiments of this application further includes: displaying a dynamic preview effect of the predetermined curve.

[0109] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned curve interaction method, displaying the dynamic preview effect of the predetermined curve includes: in response to the request to adjust the displacement, scaling, rotation, and transparency of the dynamic preview effect of the predetermined curve, adjusting the displacement, scaling, rotation, and transparency of the dynamic preview effect respectively.
