A control panel provides controllers for setting the values of system settings. Each controller controls a subset of related system settings. Scheme objects are provided for encapsulating values of system settings for a controller. The current values of system settings controlled by a controller may be updated by applying the values held within a scheme. Grand schemes are provided for aggregating the system settings for multiple controllers. Thus, the system settings controlled by multiple controllers may be updated in a single transaction by applying a grand scheme to the control panel. Easily practiced approaches to applying schemes and grand schemes to the control panel are provided. Moreover, methods for easily creating and editing the contents of schemes and grand schemes are provided.

A method and system are provided for displaying animations of menus solely in response to a cursor pointing in proximity to a menu marker that is displayed on a video display. Multiple menu markers may be displayed on the video display and each menu marker may be associated with a different menu. The animation may produce the visual effect of the menu sliding out of an associated menu marker. A dynamic control mechanism may be used to control the performance of the animation of the menu to account for different platforms and different processing states. In addition, audio output may accompany the animation of the menu.

A new user interface, a distance user interface, in a computer system for operating a computer from a television-viewing distance is provided. A centralized display is provided enabling a user to access streaming video and sound as well as music files, video files, and picture files from a single screen. Collaborative sharing of media content is provided by enabling a computer's operations and feedback to be collectively observed from a distance.

A system that can automatically capture life experiences of a user across a number of senses or perceptions is provided. Once the data is captured, it can be annotated and saved for subsequent playback. The innovation also enables the data to be synchronized to for playback, for example, audio can be time-synced to a corresponding video with a corresponding smell, etc. Still further, the innovation provides for controls that enable a user to adjust or select granularity for capture as well as playback.

A graphical user interface (GUI) allows a user to directly access items of visual and/or audio media by passing a cursor over points on an electronic map. Indicators in the form of icons representing media items can be displayed and can be accessed through a media viewer. A determination is made whether a position indicator or pointer, such as a cursor, is located proximate to a GUI location that is associated with supplemental content in the form of a media item. If so, an indicator is presented to advise the user that supplemental content is indeed associated with that location on the interface. For example, a media icon representing one or more media items can be displayed on the output device proximate to the location of the input device indicator. This indicator serves as a prompt or cue for the user to select the indicator if the user desires to review the supplemental content. A determination is made whether the media icon has been selected in response to an input signal issued by an input device. If so, the selected media item, typically video and/or audio information, is presented to the user via the output device.

Outputting a user interface having a list of a plurality of representations of media items on a display of a computing device is presented. In one embodiment, a center locking region (CLR) is defined in the user interface and covers a portion of the plurality of representations, wherein navigation from a first representation within the CLR to a second representation outside the CLR causes a scrolling of the second representation into the CLR on one horizontal side and a scrolling of a third representation within the CLR out of the CLR on the other horizontal side while navigation through a portion of the plurality of representations within the CLR causes no scrolling. In another embodiment, a gap indicating a beginning and an end of the list is displayed and a scrolling occurs when the gap is within the CLR and a horizontal navigation within the CLR is performed.
