Abstract: Systems and methods for a media content user interface. A media content provider includes storage for storing and serving video content to subscribers. The media content provider records and or otherwise stores video content from around the world. Subscribers are provided a user interface to the system that includes a channel bar. The channel bar is dynamically scoped responsive to interactions of a viewer with the system. Selectable elements within the channel bar provide direct access to related content regarding video content, such as television series information and cast information. In addition, the channel bar is operable in multiple modes. An EPG mode displays live video for multiple channels simultaneously. Themed modes permit channel bars that display content according to various themes which may be defined by a viewer, the provider, or both.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a first electronic device, during a playlist mode, displays a plurality of representations of content items available on the first electronic device. While in the playlist mode, the first electronic device optionally receives a first input, via one or more input devices, selecting a respective representation of a respective content item from the plurality of representations of content items. In response to receiving the first input, in accordance with a determination that the respective content item was playing on the first electronic device when the first input was received, the first electronic device optionally transitions to a now playing mode. In accordance with a determination that the respective content item was not playing on the first electronic device when the first input was received, the first electronic device optionally plays the respective content item on the first electronic device while remaining in the playlist mode.

Abstract translation: 在一些实施例中，第一电子设备在播放列表模式期间显示在第一电子设备上可用的内容项的多个表示。 在播放列表模式下，第一电子设备可选地通过一个或多个输入设备接收第一输入，从内容项的多个表示中选择相应内容项的相应表示。 响应于接收到第一输入，当接收到第一输入时，根据第一电子设备上确定相应的内容项目正在播放，第一电子设备可选地转换到现在播放模式。 当接收到第一输入时，根据第一电子设备确定相应的内容项目不在第一电子设备上播放，第一电子设备可选地在第一电子设备上播放相应的内容项，同时保持播放列表模式。

Abstract: In some embodiments, a device displays functionality information in response to receiving an indication of a first input for which a contact meets functionality display criteria. In some embodiments, a device generates a user interface that includes a navigation bar including images from different positions in a respective content item, and a representation of an adjacent content item. In some embodiments, a device moves a selection-indicator in a user interface by a predefined amount in response to receiving an indication of a first input that meets unitary movement criteria. In some embodiments, a device interprets movement of a contact of an input based at least in part on a grip of a user. In some embodiments, a device displays a plurality of character selection options when a text entry field is not tolerant of character ambiguity and a first input corresponds to a plurality of candidate characters.
