PARALLAX BOUNCE
First Claim
1. A method for applying a parallax bounce effect to a display of an image on an electronic display screen, comprising:
- on the display screen, moving an image from a first location to a second location;
applying a progressively increasing parallax shift to the image until a maximum parallax shift is reached; and
progressively reducing the parallax shift to the image until a minimum parallax shift is reached.

Abstract
As a moving or sliding image reaches, or is about to reach, a target location where its motion slows or stops, a parallax shift is applied. The effect, referred to as a parallax bounce, can be applied in any context wherein an image is moved from one location to another on a display screen, such as for example a sliding or scrolling operation. The parallax bounce can be applied, for example, when the image stops moving, or is about to stop moving. Different objects of different depths in the image shift to different degrees, an effect that is accomplished by laterally shifting the apparent viewpoint of the image. The magnitude of the parallax shift increases progressively, stops, and then decreases to zero, in a manner that simulates a bounce effect.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for applying a parallax bounce effect to a display of an image on an electronic display screen, comprising instructions stored thereon, that when executed on a processor, perform the steps of:
-
causing the display screen to move an image from a first location to a second location; applying a progressively increasing parallax shift to the image until a maximum parallax shift is reached; and progressively reducing the parallax shift to the image until a minimum parallax shift is reached. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A system for applying a parallax bounce effect to a display of an image on an electronic display screen, comprising:
-
a display screen, configured to display an image moving from a first location to a second location; a processor, communicatively coupled to the display screen, configured to cause the display screen to; apply a progressively increasing parallax shift to the image until a maximum parallax shift is reached; and progressively reduce the parallax shift to the image until a minimum parallax shift is reached. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)
