Apparatus and method for providing transitions between screens
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- provide for display of an origin screen within a viewing area, wherein the origin screen represents a first interactive content, wherein the origin screen defines a reference point;
receive an input from a user comprising a movement component; and
provide for a visual transition from the origin screen to a destination screen representing a second, different interactive content in response to the input by applying a graphical effect to the display of the origin screen,wherein the graphical effect comprises a translation aspect so as to cause the origin screen to move along an axis of a two-dimensional plane with respect to the viewing area, andwherein the graphical effect further comprises a rotational aspect so as to cause the origin screen to rotate within the two-dimensional plane about the reference point.

Abstract
An apparatus, method, and computer program product are described that provide a visual transition from an origin screen to a destination screen by applying a graphical effect to the origin screen based on a user input that is received. The graphical effect includes a translation aspect and a rotational aspect. The rotational aspect may have an angle of rotation that is defined based on characteristics of the input received, such as an initial or instantaneous position of receipt of the input or a speed of movement of the input. Thus, the graphical effect simulates a physical reaction of the origin screen to the input (for example, giving the appearance that the origin screen is a physical object that is reacting to the user input as an applied force in the real world).

8. A method comprising:
-
providing for display of an origin screen within a viewing area, wherein the origin screen represents a first interactive content, wherein the origin screen defines a reference point; receiving an input from a user comprising a movement component; and providing for a visual transition from the origin screen to a destination screen representing a second, different interactive content in response to the input by applying a graphical effect to the display of the origin screen, wherein the graphical effect comprises a translation aspect so as to cause the origin screen to move along an axis of a two-dimensional plane with respect to the viewing area, and wherein the graphical effect further comprises a rotational aspect so as to cause the origin screen to rotate within the two-dimensional plane about the reference point. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
