An appliance indicates that it is transferring information to an external device by displaying a send animation. The send animation simulates movement of a metamorphic icon by moving images on a background such that the metamorphic icon appears to be moving. One embodiment of the appliance includes a processor for manipulating and exhibiting the send animation on a built-in display screen. In one embodiment, the metamorphic icon resembles a paper airplane and the moving images resemble clouds so that the paper airplane appears to be flying over the clouds, thereby indicating that the appliance is sending information to an external device. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, a specific embodiment thereof is shown by way of example in the drawings and will herein be described in detail.
It should be understood, however, that there is no intent to limit the invention to the particular form disclosed, but on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
Architecture of the Image Capture and Communication Appliance A portable, hand-held, image capture and communication appliance 22 embodying the principles of the present invention is shown in FIGS.
1A through 1D.
Specifically, FIG.
1A depicts one side (i.
e.
, front) of appliance 22 where a flat-panel display 24 along with user operation buttons 26, 28, 32, 34, 36, 38 and user navigation buttons 42, 44, 46, 48 are located.
Display 24 is preferably of the flat-panel variety to accommodate the hand size dimensions of appliance 22.
Common types of flat-panel displays suitable for use in the present invention include electroluminescent displays, gas plasma discharge displays, and liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
Display 24 is the means by which information, including captured images, text, icons, and animations, is communicated to the user.
As used herein, the term "image" encompasses both text (binary) and color, graphic, or grayscale visuals.
The user operation buttons comprise an image send or transmit button 26, an image zoom button 28, an image rotate button 32, an image delete button 34, a help utility button 36 and a tools menu button 38.
Send, zoom, rotate, and delete buttons 26, 28, 32 and 34 allow the user to electronically manipulate an image or page that has been captured into memory through photoelement array 52.
Note that an image captured in memory is interchangeably referred to herein as a "page" because the image is portrayed in appliance 22 as a physical page of text and/or imagery
