Digital image transitions

摘要

Among other things, methods, systems and computer program products are disclosed for displaying a sequence of multiple images to provide an appearance of a three-dimensional (3D) effect. A data processing device or system can identify multiple images to be displayed. The data processing device or system can divide a two-dimensional (2D) display area into multiple display portions. The data processing device or system can display a sequence of the identified images on the display portions so as to provide an appearance of a three-dimensional (3D) effect.

主权项

1. A method performed by software executing on a data processing device with a display, the method comprising:
displaying, on the display, a first set of one or more images concurrently in a display area, wherein a first image in the first set of images has a border that has a predetermined spatial relationship to a border of a second image of the first set of images; transitioning between the first set of images and a second set of one or more images, wherein the transitioning includes using an automatically generated transition that introduces a fold into the first set of images and includes:
transforming at least a portion of the first image using a transformation that changes a position of the border of the first image on the display; andtransforming at least a portion of the second image so as to maintain the predetermined spatial relationship between the border of the first image and the border of the second image on the display; and after completing transitioning between the first set of images and the second set of images displaying the second set of images concurrently in the display area, wherein the second set of images is different from the first set of images.
