    摘要: Techniques to manage an electronic program guide may be described. An apparatus may include a display to display an electronic program guide comprising a dynamic scaling grid. The apparatus may also include a media processing device coupled to the display. The media processing device may comprise a processor and an electronic program guide management module for execution by the processor. The electronic program guide management module may manage the dynamic scaling grid on the display. The dynamic scaling grid may comprise content cells hosting program items to display a first set of associated metadata, with the content cells to expand when selected to display a second set of associated metadata for the program items. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: Described is a scrolling technology including a turbo-scroll mode that is automatically entered to increase the rate of scrolling through a set of items, (e.g., media content). The turbo-scroll mode may be triggered by holding down a scroll button for a period of time. In the turbo-scroll mode, visual cues are provided to assist the user in knowing a current relative position within the set of items. The visual cues may correspond to text metadata, such as letters indicative of an alphabetic position of scrolling, displaying a list or filtered sub-list of label data for items proximate the scroll position, a graphical position indicator, a channel indicator or time indicator for an electronic program guide, fading the electronic program guide into a background representation thereof, and/or providing at least two letters indicative of an alphabetic position of scrolling through the items.

    摘要: Described is a technology by which a user can quickly locate a data item such as media content. A user may choose a pivot (filtering) category, including an aggregated “all” category, and may enter additional filtering criteria to narrow search results. Representations (e.g., images) of data items for are displayed, including a representation of one data item at a fixed (e.g., centered) selection position. Scrolling among the items is accomplished by moving representations of the data items relative to the fixed selection position. Scrolling may be substantially horizontal or vertical, and the item representation in the selection position may be highlighted relative to other item representations, such as via its relative size, opacity and/or color. Metadata also may be displayed in association with the representation of the data item at the fixed selection position.
