Description

Method and device for reproduction in hours of animation

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

The invention relates to the field of watch technology, to watch mechanisms with time display, and, more specifically, to watch mechanisms of a complicated type having additional functions of demonstrating animation of graphic images.

BACKGROUND

Animation (from the Latin "anima" - soul) is a technology that allows using the inanimate motionless objects to create the illusion of movement [1].

The most popular form of animation is animation, which is a series of drawn images. In each subsequent figure, the figure is presented in a slightly different phase of movement. Individual drawings are photographed frame by frame, and then projected onto the screen at a speed of 24 frames per second in sound animation or 16 frames per second in mute. Actions and effects impossible in real life are the essence of animation [2].

From ancient times, from the Chinese shadow theater to the magic lantern of the 17th century, attempts were made to "revive" the image. In the 19th century it was proved that the image remained on the retina for another fraction of a second after the eye ceased to perceive the object itself, and taking into account this discovery, special mechanisms were invented, such as the Zootrop (1830s) of the British watchmaker U.G. Horner: a drum with a sequence of hand-drawn images. The drum rotated, and the impression was that the figures were moving. In the 1880s, the French inventor E. Reynaud developed this idea by adding a projector.

In 1906, after the invention of the movie camera, JS Blackton made the first animated film in the United States. Humorous phases of funny faces, where the principle of "one shot - one picture" was applied. In 1911 under his Winsor McKay, the animator, created the movie Little Nemo in Newspaper Comics. But as an art, the animation took hold after the McKay film Gertie's Dinosaur (1914). Gerty danced on the screen, turned the trees upside down, held the ball on her nose.

The main obstacle to the commercial success of the animation was the high complexity of the process of making films. To reduce costs, several technical inventions have been applied.

In 1913, E. Hurd and J.R. Bray developed the principles of drawing on celluloid film, in 1914 R. Barr improved the system of precise positioning of drawings in front of the camera using hooks (pins).

In 1917 Fleischer developed a “rotoscope”, which allows for the use of live actors for use in animation.

In 1924, the famous artist F. Leger staged the famous Mechanical Ballet.

Currently, there are puppet, silhouette, collage, computer and laser animations [1].

Puppet animation in popularity, it is second only to hand-drawn animation. The doll is located directly in front of the camera and photographed frame by frame, and each time minimal changes are made to her pose, so that during the subsequent projection an illusion of movement is created. This type of animation originated in Russia, where V.A. Starevich began making puppet films back in 1911.

In silhouette animation, figures cut out of cardboard or other material are superimposed on a celluloid film, and for each subsequent frame their position changes slightly.

In collage animation, the same principle is used, however, instead of figures, clippings from books, stickers, and illustrations are used. Animation of objects makes inanimate objects seem animated. Can be used as everyday items (matches, forks, watches), as well as photographs and various images.

In computer animation, after the main poses are drawn, the intermediate positions of the characters are automatically calculated. In electronic animation on a computer, the entire cartoon is created. In laser animation using a laser beam and a set of mirrors, the illusion of a three-dimensional object is achieved.

The history of animation began long before the appearance in the world of cinema, invented by the Lumiere brothers.

The first attempts of a person to reproduce not only static pictures of the world, but also the movement itself, can already be observed in the works of primitive artists, which are characterized by the image of, for example, a running deer with a large number of legs showing the swiftness of his running, or, for example, a dancing hunter with eight feet and hands that convey various moments of movement in the dance.

Later we find a dynamic transmission of movement in the sculptural reliefs of ancient Greece, in Egyptian murals of tombs and temples of the pharaohs.

In China, they tried to create the illusion of the movement of the figure using the shadow theater, in which the shadows of the figures projected on the illuminated plane moved.

Back in the 70s BC the Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius in his treatise "On the Nature of Things" described a device for displaying animated moving drawings on the screen.

The books that appeared in the 15th century served as a kind of prototype of modern cinema, on each of the pages of which human figures in various phases of movement were depicted. It was necessary to roll such a book into a roll, and then quickly turn it around, as the rapidly turning pages created the effect of moving people.

A more perfect device can be considered the so-called "magic lantern" (lat. "Laterna magica"). Common in the Middle Ages, this device consisted of a wooden or metal case with a hole or lens in which the light source was placed. Between the light source and the optical system, glass plates were inserted with images printed on them, which were projected in this way onto any suitable surface.

The next stage in the evolution of instruments for animating drawings came in 1832, when the Belgian professor Joseph Plateau created a unique device in his laboratory - phenakistiskop (from the Greek word "phenax" - a deceiver and the root "osprey" - look). The design of the phenacystiscope was based on the ability of the retina of the human eye to remember successive events. So the author himself described his invention: “The device consists of a cardboard disk with holes cut into it. Shapes are drawn on one side of the disc. When the disk is rotated around the axis in front of the mirror, the figures viewed in the mirror through the holes of the disk do not appear to rotate with the disk, but, on the contrary, appear completely independent and make movements inherent to them ”[3].

Almost simultaneously with the Plateau, a device with the same basic principle of action was invented by Viennese geometry professor Simon von Stampfer. This device was called by the inventor "strobe". It was a cardboard drum mounted on an axle. On the inner side of this drum, on a paper tape, several drawings were applied (usually from eight to twelve), illustrating the successive phases of the movement of a person or animal performing a certain action, for example: running an ostrich, jumping a horse, etc. Each subsequent drawing reproduced a new moment of movement, while the last drawing of each cycle was as if closing in relation to the first drawing. Having inserted a paper tape with drawings into the drum with narrow, oblong holes cut against each drawing, and rotating the drum around its axis, the viewer saw a quick successive change of drawings, which created a complete illusion of their movement.

Thanks to this invention, the effect of visible movement when changing still images made on the internal disk, was called the stroboscopic effect.

Many devices are known, united by the name "zootrop". This is a device similar to a stroboscope, in which a disk with holes is replaced by a wooden or metal drum open from above, cut by vertical slots on the sides and rotating horizontally on the axis. The disk with pictures is replaced by a long ribbon, which is placed, rolled up in a circle, inside the drum. These tapes could hold five, ten or more dozens of pictures, while the disks could not hold more than two dozen.

The zootrop was first constructed in 1834 by the English mathematician William George Horner, and was called the "dedaleum" (in honor of Daedalus, who, according to legend, created moving pictures of people and animals).

Subsequent versions of this device (in particular, the device that the French designed Designine in 1860, and a similar device of 5 American William E. Lincoln) assigned the name "zootropa" to all such devices.

In 1853, the Austrian Baron von Uhacius, constructing a stroboscope in which the images were placed on a glass disk and illuminated by an oil lamp, first projected them onto the screen,

In 1861, the American Colman Sellers invented the cinematoscope, which was a series of photographs pasted onto a drum, replacing each other in front of the viewer's eyes.

Frenchman Emile Reynaud, having borrowed the rotary drum of Zootropus Horner and improving the mirror system of the phenacystiscope Joseph 15 Plateau, created a new, more advanced device, calling it Reynaud's “praxinoscope”. On August 30, 1877, when Emil Reynaud's praxinoscope was patented in Paris, animation can be considered the birthday in the form in which we know it today.

Around the same time, from 1870, in San Francisco, 20 Englishman Edward Maybridge began his work on shooting the successive phases of the movement of a living object (initially galloping horses served as this object).

Edward Maybridge invented the so-called zoopraxiscope (English zoopraxiscope from other Greek. Ζωον - animal, living + πράξις - activity, 25 movement + σκοπέω - watch, watch) - a device for "projecting moving pictures."

A little later, in 1884, Marey created the first chrono-photographic apparatus. The experiments of Maybridge and Marey made a significant contribution to the study of the movements of man and animals and to the development of zootechnics.

In 1885, Herman Kastler creates a mutoscope, which is a device with a drum in which a thousand (or more) drawings were placed.

1888 - Reynaud improved his praxinoscope, transferred the drawings to a celluloid tape (35 mm) and flashed it on a large screen in a circle their relatives and friends. Since 1892, Reynaud has been organizing special shows at the Greven Museum and gives them the name Optical Theater.

It was only in 1895 that the Lumiere brothers developed the design of a movie camera for shooting and projecting moving photographs, calling it a cinema, with which the history of modern cinema began [4].

The first primitive jump mechanism in history was invented in England. English photographer William Frize-Green worked on the same problem as Marey and Prens. Like them, he first used paper photosensitive tape, which he supplied with perforations around the edges. Since the paper tape was torn, in his chrono-photographic apparatus in 1889, Frieze-Green first applied the recently appeared perforated celluloid film. Then he included a jump mechanism in the design of the apparatus.

The Frieze-Green film came from the feed drum to the receiver. The latter, with the help of a handle rotated by a hand, was brought into continuous motion. The shoulder carrying the rotating roller received movement by means of a spiral cam and assumed the position shown by dashed lines; during its movement, it pulled down the film, which then remained stationary while the roller retreated under the action of a spring. Simultaneously with the departure of the shoulder, the shutter was opened by means of the same spiral cam. The latter was designed on a hand-driven shaft. Each revolution thus exposed a separate film frame.

Already in 1889, Frieze-Green shot his first film in Hyde Park and demonstrated it at the photographic congress in Town Hall. In 1890, his films were publicly shown at the Royal Photographic Society. The Frieze-Green camera with a perforated celluloid tape had all the elements of the cinema, except for the technically perfect jump mechanism of the intermittent movement of the film. However, his devices were very complex and in this form could not be widely used. Moreover, outside of England, almost nothing was known about his invention. The main part of the cinema, the “heart” of the filming and projection apparatus, was precisely the hopping mechanism for quick, intermittent change of images.

The invention of the perfect jump mechanism, which made it possible to simultaneously simultaneously intermittently move individual moving images and stop them at the set frequency, was the event that marked the birth of cinema.

In 1893, Marey created a new chrono-photographic apparatus with celluloid film. The film moved intermittently, making instant stops at a frequency of 20 individual shots per second. However, the mechanism of intermittent movement was extremely primitive. It consisted of an electromagnet and pinch rollers. At the moment of shutter release, the roller was attracted and stopped the film. The operation of this mechanism was very rude, therefore the Marey apparatus cannot be considered technically satisfactory. Nevertheless, in the same year, Marey made some wonderful films about the movement of living beings.

In 1894, Georges Demeny created the first perfect cinema camera with a jump mechanism. This jump mechanism was a disk with a “finger” rotating clockwise.

In 1895, the brothers patented their movie projector and movie camera

Auguste and Louis Lumieres using a grab (“fork”) as a jump mechanism. In the summer and autumn of that year, they made ten short films of 16 meters each, which formed the basis for commercial sessions of the late 1895 - early 1896. In December 1895, the first cinema was opened in the basement of the Grand Cafe on Kapucinov Boulevard in Paris. Judging strictly in fact, the grapple is the only original invention of the Lumieres, and not the most successful one (already in 1896 the grapple was replaced by another, more perfect jump mechanism - the Maltese cross). However, it was on their device that the loudest fame fell. During the first half of 1896, the Lumière cinema was shown in all European capitals and was a huge success.

In April 1896, Victor Condensusa and Bünzli were the first to use the four-blade Maltese cross in cinema cameras - the type of jump mechanism that prevails in modern cinema cameras. Condensusa had a small business in Paris and was an experienced mechanic. He designed several movie cameras for the famous movie company "Pate".

The four-blade Maltese system (the Maltese mechanism) consists of a leading disk, which has one finger (eccentric), and a driven disk, equipped with four slots. When moving, the finger of the driving disk enters the slot of the driven disk and rotates it 90 degrees. In this case, the gear drum rotates 1/4 turn.

The driven disk makes four stops during one revolution, and the stop time is three times the travel time. The four-blade cross is connected with a hopping gear drum moving the film. Frame standing is determined by the time required to rotate the master disk 270 degrees. After that, the finger again enters the next slot of the four-blade cross and again rotates it 1/4 turn. Thus, intermittent motion of the film occurs.

In mechanical watches, animation is historically represented by jacquemars (animated moving figures of people, for example, a man beating a bell), animated animals (for example, a screaming rooster), and so on. landscape animation (for example, the sun moving across the sky, flowing water, moving leaves on trees).

Animation in a mechanical watch was initially closely connected with the repeater function - moving, figures in the watch enlivened the process of repetition of time.

The jacquemars were still present in the early tower clocks, later in all kinds of interior clocks, and with the advent and development of pocket and then wristwatches, the jacquemars also decorated them.

Religious subjects, as well as a variety of frivolous scenes, became very popular motifs for animated watches of the Middle Ages.

Mechanical movement is inherent in all these watches, however, the principle and mechanisms of cinema in watches have never been used by anyone before.

Known by authors Butte Matias (FR), Barbazini Enrico (FR), Nava Michel (FR) and DALTON PROPERTIES Incu. (BZ) an indication mechanism that can be mounted on a basic clockwork with manual winding, automatic winding, with quartz or automatic quartz factory with the ability to recreate a given pattern of moving figures over a selected period of time. The mechanism incorporates a certain set of gears that are in gear engagement with each other or groups of gears and are driven by a moving element connected to the base clock mechanism. Moreover, on top of each of the gears there is a plate or disk bearing numbers, figures or signs and rotating in the corresponding hole in the dial of this watch product [5].

The closest in technical essence and achieved technical result (prototype) is the watch movement created by Simonyan Sasnik (LB), equipped with slow animation, which seeks to bring a sense of serenity and calm to the user, even when he specifies the time, and to give the watch its original look, which contains the casing and the working gear supported by this casing, periodically driven by the drive element, and an animation part designed to be visible and adaptable This is for animating with an oscillating motion, allowing the simulation of a pendulum motion. The mechanism also contains an animated gear supported by the housing meshed with the movable part of the working gear and kinematically connected to the animation part [6 (prototype)].

This mechanism, animating the artificially created slow movement of the pendulum on the dial, which is not functional for the clockwork, can be attributed to permanent animation devices. A characteristic feature of this mechanism is that the animated gear, the control element and the animation part are arranged in such a way that the periodic movement is a sinusoidal oscillatory type, while the flexible element is placed between the moving part and the said part in such a way as to smooth the movement of the animation part.

TASK AND TECHNICAL RESULT

The objective and technical result of the invention is the ability to create animated motion graphic, bas-relief or other image using cinema methods with quick change of the frames of the animated image and the fixed positions of the frames of the animated image in the intervals between their switching, with the possibility of observing on the watch a clear moving image to provide entertainment 'and games, therapeutic soothing with the cyclic movements of the animated image.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The inventor proposes a new method and device for creating an animated image movement on a watch.

The characteristic features of the invention are:

- the availability and means of animation in the watch, which can be performed, for example, as a frame window on the watch dial, under which there is a rotating disk or cylinder, around the center or axis of which there is a series of images corresponding to frames of the animated image with different phases of its movement. The sequential movement of frames of the animated image allows you to get a moving image, animate the image;

- Original and new design of individual units and devices for watches in general with new additional functions.

Distinctive features of the method is the creation of animated images in watches according to the previously unused in the watchmaking principle of cinematography and animation, that is, by sequentially reproducing image frames, where each individual image frame reproduces a new moment (new phase) of movement, while the last image of each cycle is closing in relation to the first image. A quick sequential change of frames of images creates the complete illusion of the movement of images, and fixing frames in a fixed position between shifts provides the ability to observe clear contrast images without any visually perceptible distortions.

Distinctive features of the device for watches is a rotating means of demonstrating animations with quick frame change and sequential fixation of each frame in stillness in the intervals between frame changes, as well as the original principle of mechanisms of various construction, not used earlier in watchmaking, bringing the frames of the animated image into motion, which can be implemented in various versions of the design. The drawings show two preferred, but not required examples of the many possible designs of these mechanisms.

During the implementation of the invention, it is possible to reproduce (animate) absolutely virtually any sequence of predetermined movements (as in the cinema and with the same clarity!), Despite the fact that the known analogs are capable of reproducing only a limited sequence of movements and for the most part are capable of showing only fuzzy animations.

Various possible embodiments of the present invention imply its various design and various connections to different nodes of the clockwork. At the same time, image reproduction in terms of duration, frequency and method of actuation is much wider than that of known analogues.

IMPLEMENTATION AND INDUSTRIAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INVENTION The basic clock mechanism and the clock system can be almost anything in the performance of its usual function.

The launcher performs the function of starting the animation drive and can be implemented in various design options:

- as a unlocking mechanism, actuated by a lever, a button on demand;

- as an additional element to the basic clock mechanism, which, for example, automatically turns on the animation drive at set intervals.

- as paired with devices such as battle, alarm clock;

- in the form of a handle or handle driven by a hand and transmitting movement to the animation drive.

The drive performs the function of transferring energy and movement to the animation display means and may include an engine - energy storage device and drive wheels designed to transfer energy of a certain strength and duration to the animation display means.

The frame fixation tool is mainly, but not necessarily, a jump mechanism and is designed to avoid blurring (blurring the borders) of the image on the image demonstration tool similar to using a similar effect in film projectors and movie cameras. This allows you to get a periodic spasmodic rotation of the disk means demonstration animation.

Thanks to the use of the jump mechanism, the disk of the animation demonstration tool is at rest for some time, and then quickly moves to the next frame position, receiving energy from the drive and transmitting it to the animation demonstration tool.

As a jump mechanism, it is possible to use the Maltese, clamshell, cam, finger, and other mechanisms that allow periodic intermittent movement of the animation demonstration means.

The animation demonstration tool is designed to demonstrate an animated (animated) image and consists of a stepwise rotating disk or cylinder applied through equal distances by animated images in different phases of image movement, usually with a cyclic sequence of actions and animation demonstration tools, for example, in the form of a frame window on the dial or in the watch case, through which you can observe

5 moving image.

A rotating disk or cylinder, around the center or axis of which a series of images is located, corresponding to frames of animation in different phases of image movement. The sequential movement of image frames allows you to get a moving image with clear boundaries of the contour and small image details.

A frame is one separate still image on an animation demonstrator. Sequential playback of frames allows you to reproduce the image in motion through the specific movement of individual frames.

15 The number of changing frames for human perception as continuous movement is optimal not less than 12 per second; otherwise, abrupt perception of image movement and visual blurring (blurring) of image boundaries and details are possible, which is limited only by the convenience of observation and technological capabilities

20 manufacturing.

An additional, but not always mandatory means of speed stabilization is used to obtain the most uniform rotation of the disk of the animation demonstration tool, which allows reducing energy changes in the drive, and also it can be used to adjust the speed

25 rotation of the disk and is a system of wheels with a speed controller, which can be performed, for example, as a trigger mechanism, a wind turbine, an inertial controller, etc. When using the trigger mechanism as a speed regulator, it is possible to create an additional sound effect, such as motion of a film, and when using an animation of a horse's movement, clawing hooves, etc.

An additional, but not always mandatory means of positioning the frame is intended to fix the position of the frame in the inoperative position of the mechanism when it is at rest. Serves to at rest in the frame window was a complete, whole image frame.

The device according to the invention, in general, is a clock mechanism with an additional system for demonstrating moving images 5 - animation.

The invention is intended to demonstrate moving images and is illustrated by the example of animation in the frame window 6 on the dial 2 hours.

At the moment the animation mechanism operates, the animation demonstration means rotates under the dial, in this case, the disk 8. Around the center of the disk is a series of images corresponding to the frames of the animation. The disk is divided into identical sectors - frames in which individual images of 5 are applied in various poses.

Images are made according to the principle of a phoenicistiscop, a movie and 15 animations, i.e. when sequentially displayed in the frame window 6, a moving image consisting of individual frames is reproduced.

As a rule, the movement in the images is applied in a closed loop, so that when the disk makes several revolutions, an illusion of a moving image is created.

20 The frame window and the disk in this case constitute a means of demonstrating the animation (Fig. 3, 8).

To avoid blurring (blurring) of the image, a frame fixing means is used (Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7) - a mechanism of intermittent movement, the so-called jump mechanism. Thanks to him, frame 9 during 25 projection is at rest for some time, and only then drive 8 quickly rotates through an angle equal to 360 / number of frames. This allows the human eye to capture a clear moving image, rather than a blurry (blurry) picture.

In the shown embodiment, the Maltese mechanism consisting of a Maltese cross 10 with a slot of a Maltese cross 13 made with the possibility of pairing with a disk 8, a crank 11, with a locking cylindrical protrusion 15 and a crank pin 14 rigidly mounted on it, was used . When the crank 11 rotates, its finger 14 enters the slot of the Maltese cross 13 and, sliding in it, turns the cross. Then the finger comes out of the slot. The cross stops and remains stationary until the crank finger, continuing its movement, moves again to the next slot of the cross, etc. To fix the cross, that is, to prevent spontaneous rotation of the cross during the stop, the crank is equipped with a locking cylindrical protrusion 15 with a recess, and the cross is outlined by arcs of circles. For one revolution of the crank, the cross rotates by 1 / Z part of the revolution. Where Z is the number of slots of the Maltese cross. The rotation of the crank sets the drive wheel of the Maltese mechanism 12.

The drive (Fig. 9, 10, 11) may consist of a drum wheel of the drum of the drive 19, the drum of the drive 28, the wheels of the drive 29.

Rotating the crown 4 through the crown 18 in one direction starts the clockwork 17, which is used to determine the time at which the standard parts of the clockwork of a mechanical watch are used: clockwork 17; crown 18; the drum wheel of the clockwork 21; dog drum wheel clockwork 22; watch drum drum parts 23; balance 24. By rotating to the other side, we rotate the drum wheel of the drive drum 19, which drives the drive drum 28, and is fixed by a dog 20, which prevents the drum wheel of the drive drum 19 from turning back. The accumulated energy from the drum 28 is transmitted through the drive wheels 29 to the drive wheel of the Maltese mechanism 12.

The trigger (Fig. 10), may consist of a button 7, the trigger

16, springs of the start lever 26.

When the button 7 is pressed, the start lever 16 spring-loaded with a spring 26, with a tooth 25, releases the finger of the means for fixing the position of the frame 28 and thus releases the wheel drive system and starts rotating the drum 28, the drive wheels 29, which transmit rotation through the frame fixation means to the animation demonstration means.

When you release the button 7, the spring 26, returns the lever 16 to its original position. Tooth 25 of the lever 16 is returned to its original position and prevents the movement of the finger 28. Stopping, the finger 28 closes, stops the entire wheel drive system, wheels 29 and the drum 28.

The speed stabilization means (Fig. 10) consists of the wheels of the speed stabilizer 30 and the speed controller 31. When the wheel drive system rotates, the rotation of the speed controller 31, made in the form of a windmill, creates a deceleration and more uniform rotation.

The frame positioning means (Fig. 10) may consist of a finger 27 and a lever 16 with a tooth 25.

When the lever 16 returns to the inoperative position, the tooth 25 prevents the rotation of the finger 27. And stops it in one position, which is synchronized with the resting position of the frame fixation means, so that the whole image is in the frame window 6.

Pairing with the clockwork can be carried out in various ways.

The animation mechanism can be connected and not connected directly with the functional elements of the clock mechanism.

The animation demonstration tool can be located both on the side of the dial, at the back, as well as on the side of the watch.

In particular, it is possible, upon reaching a certain point in time, for example, every hour, to activate the trigger means by a clock mechanism.

A factory system common with the watch movement is also possible.

The frame positioning means (Fig. 1, 10) in the idle position performs the functions of positioning the frame relative to the animation demonstration means (frame window) in the idle position of the device, i.e. when it is turned off or at rest, it serves to ensure that at rest in the frame window there is a complete, whole picture of the frame.

Structurally, the positioning means of the frame can be made in the form of a finger 27, and a lever 16 with a tooth 25. When the lever 16 returns to an inoperative position, the tooth 25 prevents the rotation of the finger 27. And stops it in one position, which is synchronized with the rest position of the frame fixing means, so that in frame window b was a whole image. It can be interfaced with a trigger, a drive, and a frame lock.

An animation device may be functionally unrelated to the watch mechanism, but connected in detail, for example, located in one case, attached to the base clock mechanism and located under one watch face.

When the repeater mechanism is operating, the warhead of the mechanism can be connected to the animation mechanism and activate the animation mechanism.

When the alarm mechanism is operating, the warhead of the alarm mechanism can trigger an animation mechanism.

Thus, a causal relationship between the essential features of the invention and the technical result is shown, and the required technical result is achieved, namely, it is possible to create an animated motion of the graphic image by cinema methods with quick change of the frames of the animated image and the fixed positions of the frames of the animated image in the intervals between their switching for providing opportunities for entertainment and games, therapeutic relaxation with cyclic movements Images to be animated.

As options for the execution of individual elements of the case, parts, assemblies of the device and watch claimed as an invention, various known, traditional for watch production technologies, materials and structural solutions commonly used in watch technology can be used [7].

Thus, given the novelty of the set of essential features, the technical solution of the problem, the inventive step and the materiality of all general and particular features of the invention, proven in the section "prior art" and "Summary of the invention", proven in the section "Implementation and industrial implementation of the invention", technical the feasibility and industrial applicability of the invention, the solution of the set inventive problems and the confident achievement of the required technical result in the implementation and use Vania invention, in our opinion, the alleged group inventions meets all the requirements of eligibility for inventions.

The analysis also shows that all the general and particular features of the invention are essential, since each of them is necessary, and all together they are not only sufficient to achieve the purpose of the invention, but also make it possible to realize the invention in an industrial way.

In addition, the analysis of the totality of the essential features of the invention and the uniform technical result achieved through their use shows the existence of a single inventive concept, close and inextricable connection between the method and the playback device in the animation hours. This allows you to combine the invention in one application, that is, to provide the requirements of the criterion of unity of invention.
