SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POWER BROWSING OF CONTENT
In a system and method for navigating content, a user interface panel is generated in a user interface for an application for browsing and viewing media content. The user interface panel includes a first sub-panel and a second sub-panel. The first sub-panel includes a plurality of filter categories, while the second sub-panel includes filter options for a selected filter category. In response to a selection of at least one filter category and at least one filter option for each of the selected filter categories, a set of media content items satisfying the at least one filter option for each of the selected filter categories is caused to be displayed in the user interface.
1 . A method, comprising:
generating, by at least one processor, a user interface panel in a user interface for an application for browsing and viewing media content, the user interface panel comprising a first sub-panel and a second sub-panel, the first sub-panel including a plurality of filter categories, the second sub-panel including filter options for a selected filter category;
responsive to a selection of at least one filter category and at least one filter option for each of the selected at least one filter category, causing a set of media content items satisfying the at least one filter option for the each of the selected at least one filter category to be displayed in the user interface.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of media content items is updated in response to the selection of each of the at least one filter option.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of filter categories and the filter options are navigable and user-selectable.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a selection of a media content item of the set of media content items.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a filter category selected by a navigation indicator is highlighted, and wherein a user interface element in the first sub-panel that represents the filter category visually includes user interface elements representing the selected at least one filter option.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the filter categories include at least one of genre, date of release, user rating, and available content sources.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein an image related to each of the set of media content items is displayed in the user interface.
8 . A machine-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
generating a user interface panel in a user interface for an application for browsing and viewing media content, the user interface panel comprising a first sub-panel and a second sub-panel, the first sub-panel including a plurality of filter categories, the second sub-panel including filter options for a selected filter category;
responsive to a selection of at least one filter category and at least one filter option for each of the selected at least one filter category, causing a set of media content items satisfying the at least one filter option for the each of the selected at least one filter category to be displayed in the user interface.
9 . The machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the set of media content items is updated in response to the selection of each of the at least one filter option.
10 . The machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of filter categories and the filter options are navigable and user-selectable.
11 . The machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , further comprising receiving a selection of a media content item of the set of media content items.
12 . The machine-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein a filter category selected by a navigation indicator is highlighted, and wherein a user interface element in the first sub-panel that represents the filter category visually includes user interface elements representing the selected at least one filter option.
13 . The machine-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the filter categories include at least one of genre, date of release, user rating, and available content sources.
14 . A system, comprising:
at least one processor;
a user interface generator module, implemented by the at least one processor, configured to:
generate a user interface panel in a user interface for an application for browsing and viewing media content, the user interface panel comprising a first sub-panel and a second sub-panel, the first sub-panel including a plurality of filter categories, the second sub-panel including filter options for a selected filter category; and
cause a set of media content items satisfying at least one filter option for each of a selected at least one filter category to be displayed in the user interface; and
a navigation module, implemented by the at least one processor, configured to:
receive a selection of at least one filter category and at least one filter option for each of the selected at least one filter category.
15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the set of media content items is updated in response to the selection of each of the at least one filter option.
16 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of filter categories and the filter options are navigable and user-selectable.
17 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the navigation module is further configured to receive a selection of a media content item of the set of media content items.
18 . The system of claim 14 , wherein a filter category selected by a navigation indicator is highlighted, and wherein a user interface element in the first sub-panel that represents the filter category visually includes user interface elements representing the selected at least one filter option.
19 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the filter categories include at least one of genre, date of release, user rating, and available content sources.
20 . The system of claim 14 , wherein an image related to each of the set of media content items is displayed in the user interface.
