  • Patent number: 10373363
    Abstract: Systems and methods for visually creating scroll-triggered animation in a document. Based on input received, a key position is determined that is associated with an element that is to be animated. An indicator may be displayed to visually show the location of the key position on an editing canvas. A scroll-triggered animation is defined for the element based on the specified key position. The scroll-triggered animation defines attributes of the element during scroll of the document in the end use environment. For example, the animation may specify that the element has a particular location when the scroll is at the specified key position. The scroll-triggered animation may additionally or alternatively comprise a before-effect and an after-effect, performing one animation before the scroll reaches the key position and another animation after the scroll reaches the key position.

  • Publication number: 20180059919
    Abstract: Techniques for responsive design controls are described. A user interface is provided having a breakpoint bar configured to display multiple selectable breakpoints. When the breakpoints are selected, digital content displayed on a design surface located adjacent to the breakpoint bar is resized according to a relative size of the breakpoint. The user interface additionally has a central axis along which the multiple breakpoints are distributed. The design surface enables the digital content to be viewed and resized around the central axis responsive to selection of one of the breakpoints. Additional tools and techniques are provided to implement responsive design controls.

  • Patent number: 9081464
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a system and method is illustrated that includes receiving a first cursor actuation signal from a cursor controlling device where the first cursor actuation signal received at a first cursor position in a graphical user interface. Further, the system and method includes determining an old hierarchy level, determining a new hierarchy level based on the first cursor position and the old hierarchy level, and selecting a target object based on the new hierarchy level and the first cursor position.
