Transition Moving Image Omitting Intermediate State for Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional information processing systems display a moving image of the entire transition process of a display element from an initial state to a target state, which can give users an impression of low responsiveness and require unnecessary time perception.
Innovation Solution
The system employs a transition moving image that includes procedures from the initial state to a first intermediate state and from a second intermediate state to the target state, omitting the intermediate procedure between them, to create a seamless and rapid transition impression.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the entire transition procedure is displayed, then the user can intuitively grasp the transition, but the user perceives time consumption and feels low responsiveness
Solution Approach 1:
The transition procedure is segmented into multiple stages (initial state to first intermediate state, then to target state). By dividing the complete transition into segments and selectively displaying only the beginning and end segments while omitting the middle segment, the patent preserves essential transition information while reducing perceived transition time. This segmentation allows the user to understand the transition occurred without experiencing the full duration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies the skipping principle by omitting the display of the intermediate procedure between the first intermediate state and the second intermediate state. This creates a temporal skip in the transition animation, where the user perceives a direct transition from the initial state to the target state without experiencing the full transition duration, thus maintaining information integrity while reducing time perception.
2Loss of information
If the transition is displayed gradually, then the user understands the change, but the operation feeling becomes slow
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by displaying only the necessary parts of the transition procedure (initial state to first intermediate state, and second intermediate state to target state) while omitting the intermediate procedure. This partial display provides sufficient information for the user to understand the transition occurred, without requiring the complete gradual display, thus maintaining ease of operation and perceived responsiveness.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus determines a target state of a display element after transition, which is displayed on a screen of a display apparatus, according to an operation of a user, and displays a transition moving image that indicates a procedure of change of the display element from the initial state to the determined target state. The transition moving image includes a procedure of change of the display element from the initial state to a first intermediate state and a procedure of change of the display element from a second intermediate state to the target state and does not include a procedure of change of the display element from the first intermediate state to the second intermediate state.
