Spatially-oriented traversal animations for network address transitions
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a destination Internet address for a destination web page into a graphical web browser that is displaying a current web page having a current Internet address on a display;
determining a relationship between the destination Internet address and the current Internet address, wherein determining the relationship comprises determining differences between the current Internet address and the destination Internet address;
determining a spatially-oriented traversal animation based, at least in part, on the relationship between the destination Internet address and the current Internet address;
animating bringing the destination web page onto the display using the spatially-oriented traversal animation; and
displaying the destination web page after the spatially-oriented traversal animation.

Abstract
Embodiments include a method that includes receiving a destination Internet address for a destination web page into a graphical web browser that is displaying a current web page having a current Internet address on a display. The method includes determining a relationship between the destination Internet address and the current Internet address. The relationship is determined by determining differences between the current Internet address and the destination Internet address. The method also includes determining a spatially-oriented traversal animation based, at least in part, on the relationship between the destination Internet address and the current Internet address. The method includes animating bringing the destination web page onto the display using the spatially-oriented traversal animation. The method also includes displaying the destination web page after the spatially-oriented traversal animation.
