A music application guides a user with some musical experience through the steps of creating and editing a musical enhancement file that enhances and plays in synchronicity with an audio signal of an original artist's recorded performance. This enables others, perhaps with lesser musical ability than the original artist, to play-along with the original artist by following melodic, chordal, rhythmic, and verbal prompts. The music application accounts for differences in the timing of the performance from a standard tempo by guiding the user through the process of creating a tempo map for the performance and by associating the tempo map with MIDI information of the enhancement file. Enhancements may contain MIDI information, audio signal information, and/or video signal information which may be played back in synchronicity with the recorded performance to provide an aural and visual aid to others playing-along who may have less musical experience.

Techniques are disclosed for managing display of content in an electronic document. Specifically, the techniques can enable headers related to content to be selectively moved. For example, headers in a data table, or data table header for content in an electronic document may be displayed in a graphical interface such that the graphical interface is animated for the selective movement of the headers to display the content that is visible. The selective movement of the headers may enable the content in an electronic document to be managed for display such that a header can be visible when content related to the header is visible in the graphical interface. By selectively moving content, such as headers in a document, a document may be rendered in an animated, or moving fashion to render related content together.

An apparatus and method for providing a highly-realistic animation effect in a portable terminal. An apparatus for providing an animation effect in a portable terminal includes an animation processing unit increasing the realism of an animation by performing a composite animation scheme that continuously processes a key frame animation, which is represented in a fixed pattern, and a physical animation that is realistically represented according to peripheral environments. The apparatus also includes a display unit displaying an animation played by the animation processing unit

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for generating a content page having a plurality of layers. The technique includes detecting a first application event associated with a first layer included in a plurality of layers of a content page and accessing, via a template file, at least one parameter of the first layer that corresponds to the first application event. The technique further includes modifying at least one aspect of the first layer based on the first application event and the at least one parameter to generate a first modified layer, and outputting the first modified layer for display.

A publication includes a bound arrangement of overlying paper pages. A series of pictorial representations is provided on successive ones of the pages. Succeeding pages represent an object in different progressive positions, such that flipping the pages in rapid succession conveys a visual impression of the object in motion. A display of advertising is provided on a reference page of the publication, and includes information relating to the object. A reference page identifier is located proximate the object, and directs a user of the publication to the display of advertising provided on the reference page.

The wall advertisement projecting device solves the issues of fixed format, small size, high cost in updating, using remote wireless control switch and shared hardware DLP light processing digital camera, increasing the sound effect in advertisement release, realizing updated convenience, less consumption and making cost, with animated effect, enlarged capacity, advertisement releasing effect, applicable for wall or outdoor advertisement.

The invention relates to a method using three-dimensional modeling to continuously and automatically convert graphs into two-dimensional cartoon characters. The method includes the steps of firstly, reading a three-dimensional model, and acquiring the normal vector, principal curvature, Gaussian curvature and principal curvature direction of the apex of the three-dimensional model; secondly, placing the three-dimensional model into a three-dimensional space, drawing the edge contour line, which can have three-axis rotation around rotary points and rotary shafts, of the three-dimensional model,and performing three-axis regulation; thirdly, acquiring characteristic lines related to viewing points, and projecting the three-dimensional model into a two-dimensional cartoon scene to obtain thetwo-dimensional cartoon characters.

The invention discloses a boot animation language configuration method and system based on a smart television. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a system language currently adopted by the smart television in the boot process of the smart television, and judging a current system language type; finding a corresponding boot animation file according to the current system language type; and if the corresponding boot animation file is found, playing a boot animation corresponding to the current system language. Through adoption of the boot animation language configuration method and system, a boot animation of a corresponding language can be played correspondingly by means of identification of the current system language at television boot, so that users in different countries can watch television programs without language barriers; the specific character content in the boot animation can be comprehended clearly; and convenience is brought to the users.

The invention discloses an audio display method based on a mobile terminal. The method comprises the following steps: step 1, calling an android audio frame to provide a derivation class Visualiser ofa base class AudioEject, and monitoring and acquiring volume change data in current system data; step 2, according to an audio display effect to be realized, drawing an animation through a corresponding algorithm, and providing an interface for receiving dynamic change data; and step 3, transmitting the volume change data obtained in the step 1 into the interface provided in the step 2 to draw the audio animation effect in real time. The animation is drawn in real time through the waveform data of the currently played music of the sampling system, the dynamic melody of the current music is displayed through different color blocks, a visual feast is provided for a user, the dynamic and pleasant feelings of the music are brought to the user through the jumping square blocks, and the user experience is improved.

Example methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to present changes in clinical records are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes identifying a difference between first and second clinical records of a patient, forming an animated clinical record display including the first clinical record and an animated depiction of the identified difference, and presenting the animated clinical record display at an output device.
