Actionable media items
View Patent ↗A user equipment (UE) and method are provided for displaying items associated with selected media content and to cycle such that multiple items are displayed over time. A UE is provided that includes at least one component configured to display a plurality of items provided in a filmstrip format and associated with a plurality of content and to cycle the items in the filmstrip format. A method therefore is also contemplated.
1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display configured to render a first view and a second view; and
a component configured to display items associated with selected media content and to cycle such that multiple items are displayed over time in the second view of the display, the component further configured such that when hierarchies displayed in the first view are selected, items associated with the selected hierarchies are displayed over the second view, and when items displayed in the second view are selected, information associated with the selected items is displayed over the first view, wherein the first view is at least partially viewable when information associated with items selected from the second view is displayed over the first view.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein media content is automatically selected from one of either a top level hierarchy or a plurality of hierarchies.
3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein items are displayed based on the random selection of the associated media content from media content stored on the electronic device or accessible by the electronic device.
4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein items are displayed based on hierarchies selected via an interface on the electronic device.
5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the content is stored on at least one of the electronic device, a remote storage medium coupled to the electronic device, and a network component in communications with the electronic device.
6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the items are displayed in a filmstrip format displayed one of either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, and wherein as the filmstrip rolls the items are cycled.
7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the items provides an option for accessing the associated media content.
8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the items displayed in the second view is selectable to provide additional information related to the associated media content.
9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the items provides an option for one of downloading, streaming, playing, rating, or purchasing the associated media content.
10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the items are displayed in a pop-up window or a fade-in/out window, and wherein the items are cycled with the display of each new window.
11. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the items are one of icons, text, or images, and wherein the media content is one of music, videos, advertisements, or applications.
12. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the display of the cycled items is initiated automatically without input.
13. A method implemented in an electronic device, the method comprising:
displaying items associated with selected media content on a display of the electronic device, the display configured to render a first view and a second view; and
cycling the items such that multiple items are displayed over time in the second view of the display,
when hierarchies displayed in the first view are selected, items associated with the selected hierarchies are displayed over the second view, and when items displayed in the second view are selected, information associated with the selected items is displayed over the first view, wherein the first view is at least partially viewable when information associated with items selected from the second view is displayed over the first view.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein media content is automatically selected from one of a top level hierarchy or a plurality of hierarchies.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein items are displayed based on the random selection of the associated media content from media content stored on the electronic device or accessible by the electronic device.
16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the content is stored on at least one of the electronic device, a remote storage medium coupled to the electronic device, and a network component in communications with the electronic device.
17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the items are displayed in a filmstrip format displayed one of either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, and wherein as the filmstrip rolls the items are cycled.
18. The method of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the items provides an option for accessing the associated media content.
19. The method of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the items displayed in the second view is selectable to provide additional information related to the associated media content.
20. The method of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the items provides an option for one of downloading, streaming, playing, rating, or purchasing the associated media content.
21. The method of claim 13 , wherein the items are displayed in a pop-up window or a fade-in/out window, and wherein the items are cycled with the display of each new window.
22. The method of claim 13 , wherein the items are one of icons, text, or images, and wherein the media content is one of music, videos, advertisements, or applications.
23. The method of claim 13 , wherein the display of the cycled items occurs automatically from a home screen view without input.
24. An electronic device, comprising:
a display configured to render a first view and a second view; and
at least one component configured to display a plurality of items provided in a filmstrip format and associated with a plurality of content and to cycle the items in the filmstrip format in the second view of the display,
the at least one component further configured such that when hierarchies displayed in the first view are selected, items associated with the selected hierarchies are displayed over the second view, and when items displayed in the second view are selected, information associated with the selected items is displayed over the first view, wherein the first view is at least partially viewable when information associated with items selected from the second view is displayed over the first view.
25. The electronic device of claim 24 , wherein the items are cycled in the filmstrip format until one of the items is selected.
26. The electronic device of claim 24 , wherein the items are displayed in a reoccurring sequence in the filmstrip format.
27. The electronic device of claim 24 , wherein the content is determined based on a selection by a user.
