Abstract

A method for presenting media content of a website having a plurality of media content types on a media device includes receiving media content from a website at one or more computing devices over a network interface; categorizing media content from the web site into a plurality of media content types comprising a text type content and a non-text type content; receiving a selection of a media content type for displaying media content items of the selected media content type by the media device; retrieving, from a memory device, display parameters for a user interface for the selected media content type; reformatting the media content items of the selected media content type for display based on the retrieved display parameters for the user interface; and providing display data, to a display device associated with the media device, representing the user interface and the reformatted media content items.

Claims (37)

1 . A method for presenting media content of a website having a plurality of media content types on a media device, the method comprising:

receiving, at the media device, media content items associated with a webpage;

categorizing each of the media content items from the webpage into at least one media content type of a plurality of media content types;

selecting at least one of the plurality of media content types for displaying the media content items of the selected media content type on a display device associated with the media device based on a webpage type associated with the webpage;

identifying display parameters relating to the display device associated with the media device for a user interface for displaying the webpage that includes a media content item corresponding to the selected media content type on the display device;

reformatting the media content item of the selected media content type for display on the display device based on the identified display parameters for the user interface; and

generating the user interface to be displayed on the display device, wherein the user interface includes the reformatted media content item of the selected media content type and inhibits presentation of media content items corresponding to non-selected media content types.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the at least one of the plurality of media content types comprises identifying at least one media content type previously viewed on the media device.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the at least one of the plurality of media content types comprises identifying at least one media content type frequently selected from the webpage by a plurality of users.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of media content types is selected based on a relevancy of each of the received media content items.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected media content type corresponds to video media, and wherein the user interface includes a plurality of thumbnail content items each corresponding to an available video media content item.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a font size based on the display parameters relating to the display device, wherein the selected media content type is text type content.

7 . A system for presenting media content of a website having a plurality of media content types on a media device, the system comprising:

a hardware processor that is programmed to:

receive, at the media device, media content items associated with a webpage;

categorize each of the media content items from the webpage into at least one media content type of a plurality of media content types;

select at least one of the plurality of media content types for displaying the media content items of the selected media content type on a display device associated with the media device based on a webpage type associated with the webpage;

identify display parameters relating to the display device associated with the media device for a user interface for displaying the webpage that includes a media content item corresponding to the selected media content type on the display device;

reformat the media content item of the selected media content type for display on the display device based on the identified display parameters for the user interface; and

generate the user interface to be displayed on the display device, wherein the user interface includes the reformatted media content item of the selected media content type and inhibits presentation of media content items corresponding to non-selected media content types.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to identify at least one media content type previously viewed on the media device.

9 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to identify at least one media content type frequently selected from the webpage by a plurality of users.

10 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of media content types is selected based on a relevancy of each of the received media content items.

11 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the selected media content type corresponds to video media, and wherein the user interface includes a plurality of thumbnail content items each corresponding to an available video media content item.

12 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the hardware processor is further programmed to determine a font size based on the display parameters relating to the display device, wherein the selected media content type is text type content.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for presenting media content of a website having a plurality of media content types on a media device, the method comprising:

receiving, at the media device, media content items associated with a webpage;

categorizing each of the media content items from the webpage into at least one media content type of a plurality of media content types;

selecting at least one of the plurality of media content types for displaying the media content items of the selected media content type on a display device associated with the media device based on a webpage type associated with the webpage;

identifying display parameters relating to the display device associated with the media device for a user interface for displaying the webpage that includes a media content item corresponding to the selected media content type on the display device;

reformatting the media content item of the selected media content type for display on the display device based on the identified display parameters for the user interface; and

generating the user interface to be displayed on the display device, wherein the user interface includes the reformatted media content item of the selected media content type and inhibits presentation of media content items corresponding to non-selected media content types.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein selecting the at least one of the plurality of media content types comprises identifying at least one media content type previously viewed on the media device.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein selecting the at least one of the plurality of media content types comprises identifying at least one media content type frequently selected from the webpage by a plurality of users.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of media content types is selected based on a relevancy of each of the received media content items.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the selected media content type corresponds to video media, and wherein the user interface includes a plurality of thumbnail content items each corresponding to an available video media content item.
