Abstract: The various embodiments of the present disclosure provide for devices, systems and processes for facilitating adaptive user progressions through content. For at least one embodiment, a process for facilitating user adaptive progressions through content includes receiving a detected first user input motion and determining, based on the first user input motion, a first progression type. The process may also include executing: a slow scrub progression when the first user input motion occurs within a first area defined by a first velocity threshold VT1 upper limit and a first array sector range AS1; executing a fast scrub progression when the first user input motion occurs within a second area defined by a second velocity threshold VT2 upper limit and a second array sector range AS2; executing a slow swipe scrub progression when the first user input motion occurs within a third area defined by a third velocity threshold VT3 upper limit and a third array sector range AS3; and executing a fast swipe progression when the first user input motion occurs within a fourth area defined by a fourth velocity threshold VT4 upper limit and a fourth array sector range AS4.

Abstract: Apparatuses, Methods, and Systems to enable the display of media content, the apparatus includes a remote control device; a keypad with a plurality of buttons for controlling a media player device; a circular button of the plurality of buttons that is configured to rotate in a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction; and in response to detected rotational motion either in the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction, the media player device is configured to cause an adjustable amount of forwarding or a reverse play operation in a position of playing streamed media content on a display device; wherein the adjustable amount of forwarding or reverse play operation of streamed media content corresponds to rotational motion detected of the circular button during the playing of the streamed media content.
