Cursor transitions
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- detecting a trigger event associated with a cursor;
obtaining a current state of the cursor, where the current state is associated with a first cursor image;
obtaining a target state of the cursor, where the target state is associated with a second cursor image; and
in response to detecting the trigger event, applying a transition effect to the cursor to transform the cursor from the current state to the target state, where during the transformation at least a portion of the first cursor image and at least a portion of the second cursor image can be simultaneously visually perceived by a user.

Abstract
Responsive to a trigger event, a first cursor state having a first visual appearance is transitioned into a second cursor state having a second visual appearance. A transition type and transition time can be specified so that the transition can be visually perceived by a user. The cursor states can be associated with different cursor types and/or cursor schemes.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes:
-
detecting a trigger event associated with a cursor; obtaining a current state of the cursor, where the current state is associated with a first cursor image; obtaining a target state of the cursor, where the target state is associated with a second cursor image; and in response to detecting the trigger event, applying a transition effect to the cursor to transform the cursor from the current state to the target state where during the transformation at least a portion of the first cursor image and at least a portion of the second cursor image can be simultaneously visually perceived by a user. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
