Transparent Window Animation for Camera Interface Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current photo-taking interfaces on terminal devices display preset animations with a black background, resulting in a simple and less engaging animation effect when switching between camera applications and image storage programs, which does not enhance user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that obtain and play a target animation in a transparent window when switching between camera and image storage programs, allowing the animation to be displayed alongside the photo-taking interface, improving visual smoothness and user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If preset animations with black background are displayed when switching between camera application and image storage program, then the animation can be displayed, but the animation effect is simple and less engaging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the background color from black to transparent, allowing the animation to be displayed with the photo-taking interface visible through it. This creates a more engaging visual effect by combining the animation with the underlying camera interface, resolving the contradiction between simple display and engaging effect.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension by making the animation window transparent, allowing the animation to exist in a layered structure where both the animation and the photo-taking interface are visible simultaneously. This dimensional change enables the animation to enhance user experience without completely replacing the interface.
2Stability of the object's composition
If animation is displayed in a transparent window covering the photo-taking interface, then visual smoothness is improved, but the interface visibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
By changing the background from opaque black to transparent, the animation window allows the photo-taking interface to remain visible through it. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining interface visibility while still providing the visual smoothness of an overlay animation.
Solution Approach 2:
The transparent window creates a layered display structure where the animation exists in a higher layer but does not completely block the lower layer (photo-taking interface). This dimensional arrangement allows both elements to coexist, maintaining interface visibility while providing visual smoothness.

AI summary
The disclosure relates to a method for playing an animation. The method includes: obtaining a target animation based on a setting operation for switching between a camera application and an image storage program. The target animation is an animation of a target image displayed when switching between the camera application and the image storage program. The target animation is played in a transparent window. The transparent window covers an application interface of the camera application as an upper layer of the application interface.
