Customizable Animation Experience in Multi-Tenant Platforms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multi-tenant declarative programming platforms restrict user customization and post-development updates for animations in user interface components, limiting flexibility and user engagement.
Innovation Solution
A customizable animation system is implemented in a multi-tenant environment using a declarative programming platform that allows customers to dynamically configure animation elements through a configuration wizard, with animation information stored in a data model module and managed by an API, enabling parameterized markup code for inline SVG animations that can be updated independently of the application development phase.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional animation implementations are used in multi-tenant declarative programming platforms, then development simplicity is maintained, but user customization capability is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The animation system is segmented into independent configurable parameters (animation type, duration, timing function, iteration count, delay) that can be customized without affecting the core platform. This segmentation allows users to modify animation characteristics independently while maintaining system stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The animation configuration is made dynamic through runtime parameter adjustment. Users can modify animation properties after deployment without requiring application rebuilds, enabling flexible adaptation to different user needs and scenarios while keeping the base system simple.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed animation implementations are used, then system stability is maintained, but post-development update capability is prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-defines animation parameter structures and validation rules during development. This preliminary setup ensures that future updates will follow established patterns and constraints, maintaining system stability while enabling post-development customization through the configured parameter interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
Animation behavior is controlled through configurable parameters that can be modified at runtime. By changing parameters such as animation type, duration, and timing functions without altering the core code structure, the system maintains stability while enabling flexible post-development updates.
3Ease of operation
If customizable animation parameters are introduced, then user engagement is enhanced, but implementation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A universal animation configuration system is implemented that handles multiple animation types (fade, slide, scale, rotate) through a single unified parameter interface. This multi-functional approach enhances user engagement by providing diverse animation options while keeping the implementation complexity manageable through code reusability.
Solution Approach 2:
Pre-defined animation templates and parameter configurations are created and reused across different components. This copying approach allows users to leverage existing animation patterns, reducing the perceived complexity while enabling sophisticated animation effects that enhance user engagement.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are system, method, and device embodiments for implementing a customizable animation experience. A multi-tenant service may associate an animation element with a visual component of an application, and generate a markup component including an animation parameter configured to customize the animation element within the application code. Further, the multi-tenant service may receive a request for the animation from an animation manager based on execution of the application code, and send the animation information to the animation manager. In some embodiments, the animation manager is configured to set the animation parameter to the animation information and present an animation associated with the animation element based on the animation parameter.
