  • DYNAMIC ADAPTION OF ANIMATION TIMEFRAMES WITHIN A COMPLEX GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
    Publication number: 20120139924
    Abstract: The dynamic adaption of animation timeframes includes selecting animations to be displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI) and aligning the selected animations in a queue. An overall duration of time needed to display the selected animations in the queue is determined based on timeframes associated with the selected animations in the queue. The overall duration of time is compared with a predefined time value. If the overall duration of time is greater than the predefined time, a timeframe associated with at least one of the selected animations in the queue is reduced until the overall duration of time is less than or equal to the predefined time value. Each of the selected animations in the queue are sequentially displayed on the GUI for an amount of time that is based on the timeframes associated with the selected animations in the queue.
