›FIG. 1 is a first image in the…

FIG. 1 is a first image in the sequence for an animated computer-programmed transition for a display screen showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is the second image thereof;

FIG. 3 is the third image thereof;

FIG. 4 is the fourth image thereof;

FIG. 5 is the fifth image thereof;

FIG. 6 is the sixth image thereof;

FIG. 7 is the seventh image thereof;

FIG. 8 is the eighth image thereof;

FIG. 9 is the ninth image thereof;

FIG. 10 is the tenth image thereof;

FIG. 11 is the eleventh image thereof;

FIG. 12 is the twelfth image thereof;

FIG. 13 is the thirteenth image thereof;

FIG. 14 is the fourteenth image thereof;

FIG. 15 is the fifteenth image thereof;

FIG. 16 is the sixteenth image thereof;

FIG. 17 is the seventeenth image thereof;

FIG. 18 is the eighteenth image thereof;

FIG. 19 is the first image of the animated computer-programmed transition for a display screen of FIGS. 1-18 , showing disclaimed content for illustrative environmental purposes;

FIG. 20 is the second image thereof;

FIG. 21 is the third image thereof;

FIG. 22 is the fourth image thereof;

FIG. 23 is the fifth image thereof;

FIG. 24 is the sixth image thereof;

FIG. 25 is the seventh image thereof;

FIG. 26 is the eighth image thereof;

FIG. 27 is the ninth image thereof;

FIG. 28 is the tenth image thereof;

FIG. 29 is the eleventh image thereof;

FIG. 30 is the twelfth image thereof;

FIG. 31 is the thirteenth image thereof;

FIG. 32 is the fourteenth image thereof;

FIG. 33 is the fifteenth image thereof;

FIG. 34 is the sixteenth image thereof;

FIG. 35 is the seventeenth image thereof; and,

FIG. 36 is the eighteenth image thereof.

The appearance of the animated image sequentially transitions between the images shown in FIGS. 1-18 and FIGS. 19-36 . The process or period in which one image transitions to another forms no part of the claimed design. The broken line showing of the display screen in FIGS. 1-36 and the additional illustrative content in FIGS. 19-25 and FIGS. 27-36 forms no part of the claimed design.
