| 20090128581 | CUSTOM TRANSITION FRAMEWORK FOR APPLICATION STATE TRANSITIONS - An application may feature a number of application states among which a process shifts during execution of the application. A user or software developer may wish to define one or more transitions to be rendered between a first application state and a second application state, but the application development environment and operating system may provide only a limited number of general-purpose transitions. Instead, a pluggable architecture may be devised to permit a user or software developer to provide a custom transition, and to specify the rendering of the custom transition between application states. The pluggable architecture may therefore enable the user or software developer to define new transitions that are more relevant and complementary of the application states in transit. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090189915 | Structured Display System with System Defined Transitions - A disclosed system (and method) is configured to receive an instruction to transition from a first view to a second view. The first view and the second view include two or more visual elements. The system receives data corresponding to visual elements in the first view and visual elements in the second view. The system groups the visual elements to include visual elements moved out between the first view and the second view, visual elements retained from the first view in the second view, and visual elements moved into the second view. The system retrieves a system defined transition style for rendering the visual elements between the first view and the second view. Using the groupings the system transitions the first view to render the second view through application of the transition style on the groups of visual elements. | 07-30-2009 |

| 20140168269 | MORPHING A DATA CENTER IN A VIRTUAL WORLD - The present invention re-renders data center visualizations at different levels of abstraction based on roles or activities of an avatar. Morphing of data center objects is accomplished by either combining or decomposing existing data center objects in a manner that will result in a new object that maintains its relationship to the original objects. An example of this would be when creating an application object by combining an existing infrastructure objects (e.g., a server, a network and storage) used to support the application object runtime environment. This allows for the avatar to not only relate the application object to the supporting infrastructure objects, but also provides a view of how the application object is impacted whenever the supporting infrastructure objects change or break. | 06-19-2014 |
