Abstract

An interface for displaying supplemental dynamic timeline content, such as in connection with the playback of a movie title or content work is described.

Claims (27)

1 . A computer-implemented method for dynamically updating a timeline, the method being implemented by one or more processors and comprising:

displaying a first timeline associated with playback of the primary content;

altering a current instance of the first timeline based on user input; and

updating a second timeline that includes at least one content element determined from the playback of the primary content, based on the current instance.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein altering a current instance of the first timeline includes receiving a user input corresponding to a new time location in the playback of the primary content.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the second timeline includes changing the at least one content element based on a new instance of the playback.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one content element correspond to metadata associated with the playback.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying at least one timeline element on the first timeline, each of the at least one time element corresponding to an event in the primary content.

6 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for dynamically updating a first timeline, the instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

display a first timeline associated with playback of the primary content;

after a current instance of the timeline based on user input; and

update a second timeline that includes content elements determined from the playback of the primary content, based on the current instance.

7 . The storage medium of claim 6 , wherein altering a current instance of the first timeline includes receiving a user input corresponding to a new time location in the playback of the primary content.

8 . The storage medium of claim 6 , wherein updating the second timeline includes changing the at least one content element based on a new instance of the playback.

9 . The storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the at least one content element correspond to metadata associated with the playback.

10 . The storage medium of claim 6 , further comprising displaying at least one timeline element on the first timeline, each of the at least one time element corresponding to an event in the primary content.

11 . A computing device, comprising:

a processor;

a screen; and

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with executable computer program code for executing by the processor to display a notification on the screen of the mobile computing device, the computer program code comprising program code for:

displaying a first timeline associated with playback of the primary content;

altering a current instance of the first timeline based on user input; and

updating a second timeline that includes content elements determined from the playback of the primary content, based on the current instance.

12 . The computing device of claim 11 , wherein altering a current instance of the first timeline includes receiving a user input corresponding to a new time location in the playback of the primary content.

13 . The computing device of claim 11 , wherein updating the second timeline includes changing the at least one content element based on a new instance of the playback.

14 . The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one content element correspond to metadata associated with the playback.

15 . The computing device of claim 11 , further comprising displaying at least one timeline element on the first timeline, each of the at least one time element corresponding to an event in the primary content.
