Abstract: This document describes methodologies for an electronic programming guide with expanding cells for video preview. These techniques and apparatuses enable improved navigation for video and channel previewing based on gestures performed on a mobile device acting as a remote control to a remote display device. These techniques and apparatuses allow video preview of current program content over many channels with a simple and easy method to preview different channels. Further, these techniques and apparatuses can also be applied to view information regarding upcoming programs scheduled at a future time.

Abstract: This document describes methodologies for on-demand video surfing. These techniques and apparatuses improve navigation for VOD content by using a search query to search the VOD content for videos having a specified type of scene (e.g., hook). Further, the user can surf through the videos, similar to channel surfing television channels via a video-rendering device. However, the video-rendering device navigates directly to a scene of the specified type in each video based on the search query. This allows the user to surf through purposefully chosen moments in the videos. Then, any of the selected videos can automatically continue playing through to the end of the video or, based on a user input, restart at the beginning of the video.

Abstract: This document describes methodologies for long-hold video surfing. These techniques and apparatuses enable improved navigation for video and channel previewing based on long-hold gestures performed on a mobile device acting as a remote control to a remote display device. These techniques and apparatuses allow non-linear navigation over many channels with a simple and easy method to return to a previous channel. Further, these techniques and apparatuses can also be applied to surf on demand media content.
