Abstract

Embodiments include storing, using one or more computing devices, at least one image associated with each of a plurality of videos. Embodiments may also include transmitting instructions configured to display a plurality of video interfaces, each of the plurality of video interfaces configured to display an initial image of one of the plurality of videos at a first time, the initial image being different at each of the plurality of video interfaces. Embodiments may also include allowing a first transition from a display of the initial image at the first time to a display of a second image at a second time at one of the plurality of video interfaces. Embodiments may further include allowing a second transition from a display of the initial image at the second time to a display of a third image at a third time at a second of the plurality of video interfaces.

Claims (28)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

storing, using one or more computing devices, at least one image associated with each of a plurality of videos;

transmitting instructions configured to display a plurality of video interfaces, each of the plurality of video interfaces configured to display an initial image of one of the plurality of videos at a first time, the initial image being different at each of the plurality of video interfaces;

allowing a first transition from a display of the initial image at the first time to a display of a second image at a second time at one of the plurality of video interfaces; and

allowing a second transition from a display of the initial image at the second time to a display of a third image at a third time at a second of the plurality of video interfaces, wherein the second transition begins prior to the end of the first transition.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

allowing a third transition from a display of the initial image at the third time to a display of a fourth image at a fourth time at a third of the plurality of video interfaces.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the third transition begins prior to the end of the second transition.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising:

allowing a fourth transition from a display of the initial image at the fourth time to a display of a fifth image at a fifth time at a fourth of the plurality of video interfaces.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising:

allowing a fifth transition from a display of the initial image at the fifth time to a display of a sixth image at a sixth time at a fifth of the plurality of video interfaces.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , further comprising:

allowing a sixth transition from a display of the initial image at the sixth time to a display of a seventh image at a seventh time at a sixth of the plurality of video interfaces.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first video interface, the second video interface, and the third video interface are aligned in a left-to-right arrangement.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein the fourth video interface, the fifth video interface, and the sixth video interface are aligned in a left-to-right arrangement.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the fourth video interface, the fifth video interface, and the sixth video interface are aligned below the first video interface, the second video interface, and the third video interface.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the initial image is taken from a prior display of each of the plurality of videos.

11. A computing system, comprising:

one or more processors configured to enable storage of at least one image associated with each of a plurality of videos, the one or more processors further configured to transmit instructions configured to display a plurality of video interfaces, each of the plurality of video interfaces configured to display an initial image of one of the plurality of videos at a first time, the initial image being different at each of the plurality of video interfaces, the one or more processors further configured to allow a first transition from a display of the initial image at the first time to a display of a second image at a second time at one of the plurality of video interfaces, the one or more processors further configured to allow a second transition from a display of the initial image at the second time to a display of a third image at a third time at a second of the plurality of video interfaces, wherein the second transition begins prior to the end of the first transition.

12. The computing system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to allow a third transition from a display of the initial image at the third time to a display of a fourth image at a fourth time at a third of the plurality of video interfaces.

13. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the third transition begins prior to the end of the second transition.

14. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to allow a fourth transition from a display of the initial image at the fourth time to a display of a fifth image at a fifth time at a fourth of the plurality of video interfaces.

15. The computing system of claim 14 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to allow a fifth transition from a display of the initial image at the fifth time to a display of a sixth image at a sixth time at a fifth of the plurality of video interfaces.

16. The computing system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to allow a sixth transition from a display of the initial image at the sixth time to a display of a seventh image at a seventh time at a sixth of the plurality of video interfaces.

17. The computing system of claim 11 , wherein the first video interface, the second video interface, and the third video interface are aligned in a left-to-right arrangement.

18. The computing system of claim 17 , wherein the fourth video interface, the fifth video interface, and the sixth video interface are aligned in a left-to-right arrangement.

19. The computing system of claim 18 , wherein the fourth video interface, the fifth video interface, and the sixth video interface are aligned below the first video interface, the second video interface, and the third video interface.
