An audio-visual search and browse interface (AVSBI) is described. In an embodiment, a user interface module displays one or more media collections, where each of the one or more media collections includes multiple clips of media. The user interface module determines a center media collection from the one or more media collections that corresponds with a slider on a user interface display. The user interface module determines a left media collection and a right media collection based on the center media collection. The multiple clips of media in the center media collection are played via a center speaker, the multiple clips of media in the left media collection are played via a left speaker, and the multiple clips of media in the right media collection are played via a right speaker, all in a simultaneous, overlapping and cyclical manner. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement (10) for scrollable cross point navigation on a user interface (26) in order to select a feature by combining object fields. Bars (32, 34), where at least one of them is scrollable, have object fields which overlap and combine each other when scrolled or put to a visible focus area (30) in the user interface at the cross point of the bars (32, 34). Object fields in the focus area (30) select a feature connected to a combination of fields, which is chosen by a confirmation action.

Systems and methods for interfacing with playback of media by a media player are provided. By combining the functionality of fast forward and skip forward into a single button control, the invention reduces the numbers of control buttons that need be included on a device, reducing device costs and consumer "button overload." In one embodiment, by pressing (and releasing) a forward button, media being rendered by a media player skips to a predetermined location in the media. By pressing and holding (and then releasing) the forward button, the media being rendered is fast forwarded according to algorithms for fast forwarding. A backward button covers skipping backward and fast reversing in a similar fashion. A device including a play/pause button and the described forward and backward buttons advantageously reduces the number of buttons required by two buttons.

A content providing system includes a content distribution server and a content receiving terminal connected to each other through a communication channel. The content receiving terminal includes an operation input unit specifying one point on a line, a time information output unit outputting the specified point as time information, a request sender sending a content providing request including the output time information to the content distribution server, and a provider providing at least one content item to a user. The content distribution server includes a content storage unit in which a plurality of content items are stored in association with at least the corresponding time information, a search unit searching the content storage unit for at least one content item according to a search condition based on the time information, and a content distributor distributing at least one content item to the content receiving terminal.

A variable control (100) displayed through a graphical user interface (110) and linked to a control element (130). The variable control (100) has graphical representations of readily identifiable and easy to use controls. These controls include at least one text box (140) to display a value (145). The displayed value (145) can be set by default, or to show the current state of the control element (130). The variable control (100) also includes at least one range box (180) for assigning a range unit (185) that corresponds to the text box (140). The variable control (100) also includes a slider control (150) that is linked to the text box (140) and is used to make coarse adjustments to the value (145) displayed in the text box (140). A spinner (160) is also linked to the text box (140) and is used to make fine adjustments to the displayed value (145). In a preferred embodiment, the user can select a digit (300) or several digits within the displayed value (145) and adjust only the user-selected digit (300) or digits. Also in a preferred embodiment, the range box (180) automatically updates the range unit (185) when the displayed value (145) is adjusted beyond a predetermined range limit (220, 221).
摘要:
An apparatus, program product, user interface control and method indicate, on a data set user interface control (44), the size of a subset of data relative to an overall data set accessible by the control. The data set user interface control (44) may be implemented in much the same manner as a scroll bar (130), including a slider control (132) that can be manipulated along a scroll region (134) of the scroll bar (130) to adjust the parameters of the subset of data (124) accessible through the window. Further, the length of the slider (132) may be set relative to that of the scroll region (134) to represent the size of the current subset relative to the overall data set. The length of the slider (132) may also be manipulated by a user to adjust the size of the current subset.

An data interface module (22) is provided for allowing a user to remotely modify a predetermined number of operating parameters (250a-250c) of a motor (16) driven by a motor control (14) and for displaying the same. The interface module (22) includes a micro-controller (200) interconnected to a communications network and a visual display structure (210). The visual display (210) structure has a first screen (246) which displays a scrollable list of the operating parameters (250a-250c) and a second screen (248) which displays a data value for a user selected one of the operating parameters (250a-250c). A user may modify the user selected operating parameter when the second screen (248) is displayed.

An image editor includes a pixel buffer (61) for storing color data for an image to be edited. A monitor screen (35) displays the image and an active area (70) having a graphic (76) that represents two color descriptor variables. A pair of overlays (72,74) controls the respective color descriptor variables singly or together. In one embodiment (Figure 5D), the active area is a circle (78) with a color wheel about which hue varies angularly and along the radius of which saturation varies. A radial overlay line (80) controls hue and a concentric radially movable ring controls saturation. In another embodiment (Figure 5C) among others, the active area is a square with a checkerboard graphic. Black and white squares within the checkerboard indicate increasing brightness in the vertically upward direction and increasing contrast in the rightward horizontal direction. Horizontal and vertical hairline overlays (72,74) control the brightness and contrast, respectively.
