Systems and methods for aggregating content identifiers in a super-interface
Systems and methods are described for generating a super-interface that aggregates content identifiers from different content sources. A super-interface is generated for display. The super-interface comprises a first interface that comprises a first plurality of content items available from a first content source and a second interface that comprises a second plurality of content items available from a second content source. The second content source is different from the first content source. The first interface and the second interface are simultaneously accessible to a first device. A user preference is detected based on a user interaction with the first interface. The second interface is automatically updated to comprise identifiers of a third plurality of content items that are available from the second content source. The third plurality of content items is selected based on the detected user preference from the user interaction with the first interface.
1. A method comprising:
causing to be displayed simultaneously on a same screen of a first device:
a first interface displaying a first plurality of identifiers corresponding to a first plurality of content items available from a first content provider, wherein the first plurality of content items is associated with a genre; and
a second interface displaying a second plurality of identifiers corresponding to a second plurality of content items available from a second content provider, wherein the first content provider and the second content provider are different, and wherein the second plurality of content items is associated with the genre;
detecting a selection of a first identifier of a first content item in the first interface; and
in response to detecting the selection of the first identifier of the first content item in the first interface:
automatically updating display of the second interface to comprise identifiers of a third plurality of content items that are available from the second content provider, wherein the third plurality of content items is associated with the genre, and wherein the identifiers of the third plurality of content items comprise a second identifier corresponding to the first content item; and
causing to be displayed on the same screen of the first device an indicator that accentuates the second identifier in the second interface.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein causing to be displayed the indicator comprises highlighting display of the second identifier in the second interface.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein causing to be displayed the indicator comprises causing to be displayed a notification including an arrow pointing to the second identifier in the second interface.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising causing to be concurrently displayed with the notification an iconic image associated with the second identifier.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining that the first content item available from the second content provider is preferred based on comparing attributes between at least one of:
(i) the first and second content providers; and
(ii) the first content item available from the first content provider and second the first content item available from the second content provider.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein comparing attributes between the first and content providers comprises:
determining that accessing the second first content item via the second content provider is less restricted than accessing the first content item via the first content provider based on a subscription level or an access cost.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein comparing attributes between the first and second content providers comprises:
determining that the first content item available from the second content provider is of a higher quality than the first content item available from the first content provider.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein comparing attributes between the first content item available from the first content provider and the first content item available from the second content provider comprises:
determining, based on metadata for the first content item available from the first content provider and the first content item available from the second content provider, that the first content item available from the second content provider comprises less advertisement content than the first content item available from the first content provider.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
while the first interface is displayed, rearranging display of the identifiers in the second interface such that the second identifier is prominently displayed within a content category corresponding to the second identifier.
10. A system comprising:
display circuitry configured to display one or more interfaces; and
control circuitry configured to:
cause, via the display circuitry, to be displayed simultaneously on a same screen of a first device:
a first interface displaying a first plurality of identifiers corresponding to a first plurality of content items available from a first content provider, wherein the first plurality of content items is associated with a genre; and
a second interface displaying a second plurality of identifiers corresponding to a second plurality of content items available from a second content provider, wherein the first content provider and the second content provider are different, and wherein the second plurality of content items is associated with the genre;
detect a selection of a first identifier of a first content item in the first interface;
in response to detecting the selection of the first identifier of the first content item in the first interface:
automatically update display of the second interface to comprise identifiers of a third plurality of content items that are available from the second content provider, wherein the third plurality of content items is associated with the genre, and wherein the identifiers of the third plurality of content items comprise a second identifier corresponding to the first content item; and
cause to be displayed on the same screen of the first device an indicator that accentuates the second identifier in the second interface.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the control circuitry, when causing to be displayed the indicator, is configured to highlight display of the second identifier in the second interface.
12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the control circuitry, when causing to be displayed the indicator, is configured to cause to be displayed a notification including an arrow pointing to the second identifier in the second interface.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to cause to be concurrently displayed with the notification an iconic image associated with the second identifier.
14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
determine that the first content item available from the second content provider is preferred based on comparing attributes between at least one of:
(i) the first and second content providers; and
(ii) the first content item available from the first content provider and the first content item available from the second content provider.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to compare attributes between the first and second content providers by:
determining that accessing the first content item via the second content provider is less restricted than accessing the first content item via the first content provider based on a subscription level or an access cost.
16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to compare attributes between the first and second content providers by:
determining that the first content item available from the second content provider is of a higher quality than the first content item available from the first content provider.
17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the control circuitry is configured to compare attributes between the first content item available from the first content provider and the first content items item available from the second content provider by:
determining, based on metadata for the first content item available from the first content provider and the first content item available from the second content provider, that the first content item available from the second content provider comprises less advertisement content than the first content item available from the first content provider.
18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
while the first interface is displayed, rearrange display of the identifiers in the second interface such that the second identifier is prominently displayed within a content category corresponding to the second identifier.
