Abstract: A user interface to match a requested set of media items for display in a media item arrangement requires an efficient method of obtaining properties of the requested media items. The requested media items may span across multiple connected sources and be associated with multiple users. A first cache layer of a multi-layer cache system stores a flat representation of metadata items corresponding to media items available from connected sources. A second cache layer stores compiles metadata items from the first cache layer into sets of metadata items for various media item groupings. A third cache layer compiles sets of metadata items from the second cache layer into ordered sets of metadata items. The ordered sets of metadata items may be used to identify an appropriate media item arrangement in which to display the associated media items.

Abstract translation: 用于匹配要在媒体项目布置中显示的所请求的媒体项集合的用户界面需要获得所请求的媒体项目的属性的有效方法。 所请求的媒体项目可以跨越多个连接的源并且与多个用户相关联。 多层缓存系统的第一高速缓存层存储对应于可从连接源获得的媒体项目的元数据项的平面表示。 第二缓存层将编译的元数据项从第一高速缓存层存储为用于各种媒体项目分组的元数据项集合。 第三缓存层将来自第二高速缓存层的元数据项集合成有序集的元数据项。 可以使用有序的元数据集合来标识在其中显示相关联的媒体项目的适当媒体项目排列。

Abstract: A set of media items may be matched with a media arrangement that displays the media items in the set in a group of frames. The media arrangement may extend across an area larger than a viewable area of a display device. In order to determine the media items that appear within a viewable area, a list of media items may be divided into two portions, one on either side of a middle item in the list. If any part of a frame with which the middle item is associated is within an extended spatial area that extends beyond the viewable area, the middle item may be eliminated from the list, when no part of the frame with which the middle item is associated is within the extended area. The process may be repeated until it is determined that a part of a frame with which the middle item is associated is within the extended area.

Abstract: A set of media items may be matched with a media arrangement that displays the media items in the set in a group of frames having various sizes and positions. The media arrangement may extend across an area that is larger than a viewable area of a display device on which the media arrangement is displayed. A user may adjust (e.g., scroll) the viewable portion of the media arrangement. Because the media arrangement may include a large number of media items, it may not be feasible or possible to retrieve and load all of the media items into media frames in advance. Thus, a method and system may be used to progressively load media items into media frames for the viewable area and to pre-fetch media items for areas of the media arrangement that may be displayed after the current viewable area.

Abstract translation: 一组媒体项目可以与在具有各种大小和位置的一组帧中显示集合中的媒体项目的媒体配置相匹配。 媒体布置可以延伸跨越显示设备的显示设备的可见区域的区域，在该区域上显示介质布置。 用户可以调整（例如，滚动）媒体装置的可视部分。 由于媒体配置可能包含大量的媒体项目，所以提前将所有媒体项目检索和加载到媒体帧中可能是不可行或不可能的。 因此，可以使用方法和系统逐渐地将媒体项目加载到用于可视区域的媒体帧中，并且可以为可在当前可视区域之后显示的媒体配置的区域预取媒体项目。

Abstract: In order to display a set of media items in a visually pleasing manner, the relationship between the set of media items and a plurality of predefined media arrangements may be determined. A score corresponding to the set of media items may be compared to a score corresponding to each of the predefined media arrangements. The media item score and the media arrangement scores may be based on properties of the media items and properties of the media arrangements, respectively. The media arrangement that is most closely related to the set of media items may be identified based on the score comparison and the media items may be displayed in the identified media arrangement.
