    Abstract: Improved techniques for automatic (or dynamic) updating (or maintaining) of playlists for a media system that stores and plays media content for a user of the media system. The automatic update to playlists can occur when additional media content is added to or removed from the media system. The automatic update to playlists can also occur when previously stored media content is otherwise altered.

    Abstract translation: 改进了用于为媒体系统的用户存储和播放媒体内容的媒体系统的自动(或动态)更新(或维护)播放列表的技术。 播放列表的自动更新可能会在添加媒体内容或从媒体系统中删除时发生。 播放列表的自动更新也可能发生在以前存储的媒体内容被更改时。

    Abstract: Improved techniques to utilize and manage a group of media items (or media assets) on a computing device are disclosed. The group of media items can be utilized and managed at a host computer for the host computer as well as a media device (e.g., media player) that can couple to the host computer. One popular example of a group of media items is know as a playlist, which can pertain to a group of audio tracks. One aspect pertains to a graphical user interface that enables a user to trade-off storage capacity of a media device between media asset storage and data storage. Another aspect pertains to a graphical user interface that assists a user with selecting media items to fill a group of media items. Still another aspect pertains to providing a persistent media device playlist at a host computer. Yet still another aspect pertains to imposing capacity limits to a playlist, such as a media device playlist.

    Abstract translation: 公开了在计算设备上利用和管理一组媒体项目(或媒体资产)的改进的技术。 可以在用于主计算机的主计算机以及可以耦合到主计算机的媒体设备(例如,媒体播放器)上使用和管理媒体项目组。 一组媒体项目的一个流行示例被称为播放列表,其可以涉及一组音轨。 一个方面涉及图形用户界面,其使用户能够在介质资产存储和数据存储之间权衡介质设备的存储容量。 另一方面涉及一种图形用户界面,其帮助用户选择媒体项目来填充一组媒体项目。 另一方面涉及在主计算机上提供持久媒体设备播放列表。 然而,另一方面涉及将播放列表(如媒体设备播放列表)强加容量限制。

    Abstract: Improved graphical user interfaces suitable for reviewing, browsing, previewing and/or purchasing media items are also disclosed. The methods and graphical user interfaces are particularly useful for a system that provides purchase and distribution of media in a client-server environment. The graphical user interfaces can be presented to a user at a client (client machine). In one embodiment, the methods and graphical user interfaces can assist users in locating media to be browsed, previewed or purchased. The media can, for example, be audio, video and/or image data. The methods and graphical user interfaces are particularly useful for reviewing, browsing, previewing and/or purchasing classical music.

    Abstract: Improved techniques for interaction between a host computer (e.g., personal computer) and a media player are disclosed. According to one aspect, interaction between a host computer and a media player, such as automatic synchronization of media contents stored on a media player with media contents stored on a host computer, can be restricted. According to another aspect, management of media items residing on a media player can be performed at and by a host computer for the media player. According to still another aspect, media content can be played by a media player in accordance with quality settings established for the media content at the host computer.

    Abstract translation: 公开了用于主机(例如个人计算机)和媒体播放器之间的交互的改进的技术。 根据一个方面,可以限制主计算机和媒体播放器之间的交互,诸如存储在媒体播放器上的媒体内容的自动同步与存储在主计算机上的媒体内容。 根据另一方面,驻留在媒体播放器上的媒体项目的管理可以由媒体播放器的主计算机执行。 根据另一方面,媒体播放器可以根据为主计算机上的媒体内容建立的质量设置来播放媒体内容。

    Abstract: The present system and method is particularly useful for remotely controlling a device having one or more menus via a remote touch interface having at least an unstructured primary input area. A user can provide inputs to a touch interface without needing to view the interface and yet still achieve the desired response from the remotely controlled device. The primary input area of the touch interface may or may not have a background display, such as on a touch screen, but the primary input area of the touch interface should be unstructured and should not have independently selectable items, buttons, icons or anything of the like. Since the touch interface is unstructured, the user does not have to identify any selectable buttons. Instead the user can input a gesture into the interface and watch the remotely controlled device respond. The system does not provide any other visual confirmation.

    Abstract translation: 本系统和方法特别适用于通过至少具有非结构化主输入区域的远程触摸界面远程控制具有一个或多个菜单的设备。 用户可以向触摸界面提供输入,而不需要观看界面,而仍然实现来自遥控设备的所需响应。 触摸界面的主要输入区域可以具有或不具有背景显示,诸如在触摸屏上,但是触摸界面的主要输入区域应该是非结构化的,并且不应该具有独立的可选项目,按钮,图标或任何东西 类似。 由于触摸界面是非结构化的,所以用户不需要识别任何可选按钮。 相反,用户可以在界面中输入手势并观看远程受控设备的响应。 系统不提供任何其他视觉确认。
