Lock-Screen Transition Animation for Fluent Screen Wake-Up
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The use scenario of transition animations in terminal devices is limited, particularly in switching between different modes, which affects the visual experience of users.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device is designed to play a transition animation from a screen-off mode to a lock-screen mode by gradually enlarging and moving a display box toward the screen center, with the last frame of the animation in the lock-screen mode matching the previous frame in the screen-off mode, enhancing coherence and fluency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a transition animation is displayed during switching from screen-off mode to lock-screen mode, then the visual experience and fluency of mode switching are improved, but the use scenario of the transition animation is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the display box dynamically change its position and size during the transition animation. The display box starts at a first position with a first size in screen-off mode, then moves to a second position with a second size in lock-screen mode, creating a dynamic transition effect that improves fluency while maintaining versatility across different modes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes dimensionality change by transitioning the display box from a static position in screen-off mode to a different position and size in lock-screen mode. This spatial transformation adds a dimensional aspect to the transition animation, enhancing visual experience and expanding the applicability of transition animations beyond single-mode usage
2Ease of operation
If the display box is gradually enlarged and moved toward the screen center during transition animation, then the transition fluency is improved, but the complexity of the animation control increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining the transition animation sequence with predetermined keyframes and interpolation paths. The display box's position and size changes are pre-calculated and stored as animation data, allowing the system to automatically execute the smooth transition without complex real-time control calculations, thus reducing operational complexity while maintaining fluency

AI summary
This application provides a display method and an electronic device. When the electronic device switches from a screen-off mode to a lock-screen mode, the electronic device may perform gradual expansion from a last image frame displayed in a screen-off interface, and in a gradual expansion process, successively play a transition animation during switching from the screen-off interface to a lock-screen interface. In this way, fluency of switching from the screen-off interface to the lock-screen interface is improved, and application scenarios of the transition animation are enriched, so that user experience is improved.
