Abstract: Techniques are described for presenting streaming media content to users in an engaging manner. A streaming media player may provide an interface that allows users to browse though a collection of available titles sorted into different categories (e.g., science fiction titles, television shows, westerns, etc.). The interface may be configured to automatically begin playback of one of the media titles at a designated insertion point, providing a user with a preview of the title. The insertion point itself may be selected as an interesting point in a given title, and therefore, likely to engage a user in that title.

Abstract: Increasingly, children are consuming digital content on computers, laptops, tablets, and even smartphones. The sheer volume of content available to children can be daunting for parents to manage and filter for their children. Primitive filtering mechanisms based on a target audience age can be used to eliminate some content based on a child's chronological age. However, children develop at different rates so that even children of the same chronological age can have different developmental stages and so have different preferences for content they consume. Systems and methods described herein provide children with access to developmental stage-appropriate content in a developmental stage-appropriate user interface. The developmental stage-appropriate interface includes representations of the content that are developmental stage-appropriate and surrounding elements that are also developmental stage-appropriate. The user interface can include or not include functional elements based on the developmental stage of the user.
