Apparatus and method for configuring animated graphic image and effect handler used in the apparatus and method
First Claim
1. An apparatus for configuring an animated graphic image comprising:
- an effect handler which analyzes an animated graphic image format and configures an image frame based on the analyzed animated graphic image format, wherein the animated graphic image format comprises;
an image header having information on a number of components used for image configuration;
a component header having information on components used for image configuration;
effect headers having information on effects applied to each component; and
component images corresponding to each component, and;
a storage unit which stores the image header information, the component header information and the effect headers information generated by the analysis performed by the effect handler and the component images.

Abstract
An animated graphic image configuration apparatus and method usingan animated graphic image format including an image header, a component header, an effect header and a component image, and an effect handler used in the apparatus and method are provided. The animated graphic image configuration apparatus is used to generate an animated graphic image using an animated graphic image format including an image header having information on the number of components used for image configuration, component headers having information on the components used for image configuration, effect headers having information on effects applied to each component, and component image corresponding to each component. The effect handler analyzes the animated graphic images format, configures an image frame using header information obtained by the analysis and a decoded component image, and repetitively performs the operation of configuring an image frame and an operation enabling the image generated by the configuration of the image frame to be displayed.
