Systems and methods for resource planning using animation
First Claim
1. A method of presenting resource information for an entity, comprising:
- receiving input data associated with the resource information of the entity;
generating, by a computer, an animated representation of the resource information along one or more determined timelines employing a plurality of graphical characters based on the input data; and
displaying the animated representation,wherein the animated representation comprises a movie of interactions among the plurality of graphical characters to represent changes in attributes of the resource information caused by the interactions,wherein the graphical characters represent the resource information, and the graphical characters changing comprises the graphical characters expanding, contracting, exploding, melting into one another, dividing, changing texture, changing permeability, or changing color, or combinations thereof, to represent changes in the resource information over time, andwherein the graphical characters further comprise a visual membrane representing tax that the graphical characters that represent the resource information pass through at a specified time.

Abstract
A system and method of presenting resource information for an entity includes receiving input data associated with the resource information of the entity, generating, by a computer, an animated representation of the resource information along one or more determined timelines employing a plurality of graphical characters based on the input data and displaying the animated representation. The creation of one simple animated visual language may reduce the mass confusion typically associated with the relation of resources including financial and other concepts, saving time and money and better educating those seeking recommendations and advice regarding resource planning, including financial planning.
