Abstract

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.

Claims (44)

1. A method comprising:

generating for display a super-interface comprising a plurality of concentric circular interfaces, wherein:

a first circular interface of the plurality of concentric circular interfaces comprises identifiers corresponding to a first plurality of content items available from a first content source;

a first sector of the first circular interface comprises one or more identifiers corresponding to content items of a first category;

a second circular interface of the plurality of concentric circular interfaces comprises identifiers corresponding to a second plurality of content items available from a second content source; and

a second sector of the second circular interface comprises one or more identifiers corresponding to content items of the first category;

based on receiving an input comprising swiping the first sector of the first circular interface, simultaneously scrolling identifiers corresponding to content items of the first category from the first sector and the second sector; and

based on receiving an input comprising rotating the first sector of the first circular interface, adjusting display of the first circular interface to switch categories of one or more sectors of the first circular interface.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising combining the first and second sectors to define a third sector comprising the identifiers corresponding to content items of the first category from the first sector and the second sector.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

removing a first identifier corresponding to a first content item of the first category that is moved outside the third sector based on scrolling the identifiers; and

adding a second identifier corresponding to a second content item of the first category in the third sector.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising modifying the third sector to display the one or more identifiers corresponding to content items of the first category from the first sector and the second sector for simultaneous scrolling.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the modifying the third sector comprises elongating the third sector along a direction based on the swiping the first sector of the first circular interface.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the modifying the third sector comprises shuffling the one or more identifiers from the first sector with the one or more identifiers from the second sector.

7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the combining the first and second sectors to define the third sector comprises rotating respective positions of the first sector in the first circular interface and the second sector in the second circular interface to have the first sector adjacent to the second sector.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting the display of the first circular interface to switch categories of one or more sectors of the first circular interface comprises:

based on the input comprising rotating the first sector of the first circular interface, modifying the first sector to comprise one or more identifiers corresponding to content items of a second category different from the first category.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first circular interface is an inner circular interface of the plurality of concentric circular interfaces and the second circular interface is an outer circular interface of the plurality of concentric circular interfaces.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the super-interface comprises a central interface, the method further comprising:

based on receiving a selection of an identifier at a circular interface of the plurality of concentric circular interfaces, generating for display the selected identifier in the central interface.

11. A system comprising:

display circuitry configured to display one or more interfaces; and

control circuitry configured to:

generate, via the display circuitry, for display a super-interface comprising a plurality of concentric circular interfaces, wherein:

a first circular interface of the plurality of concentric circular interfaces comprises identifiers correspond to a first plurality of content items available from a first content source;

a first sector of the first circular interface comprises one or more identifiers correspond to content items of a first category;

a second circular interface of the plurality of concentric circular interfaces comprises identifiers correspond to a second plurality of content items available from a second content source; and

a second sector of the second circular interface comprises one or more identifiers correspond to content items of the first category;

based on receiving an input comprising swiping the first sector of the first circular interface, simultaneously scroll identifiers corresponding to content items of the first category from the first sector and the second sector; and

based on receiving an input comprising rotating the first sector of the first circular interface, adjust display of the first circular interface to switch categories of one or more sectors of the first circular interface.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to combine the first and second sectors to define a third sector comprising the identifiers correspond to content items of the first category from the first sector and the second sector.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

remove a first identifier corresponding to a first content item of the first category that is moved outside the third sector based on scrolling the identifiers; and

add a second identifier corresponding to a second content item of the first category in the third sector.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to modify the third sector to display the one or more identifiers corresponding to content items of the first category from the first sector and the second sector for simultaneous scrolling.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the control circuitry, when modifying the third sector, is configured to elongate the third sector along a direction based on the swiping the first sector of the first circular interface.

16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the control circuitry, when modifying the third sector, is configured to shuffle the one or more identifiers from the first sector with the one or more identifiers from the second sector.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein the control circuitry, when combining the first and second sectors to define the third sector, is configured to rotate respective positions of the first sector in the first circular interface and the second sector in the second circular interface to have the first sector adjacent to the second sector.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry, when adjusting display of the first circular interface to switch categories of one or more sectors of the first circular interface, is configured to:

based on the input comprising rotating the first sector of the first circular interface, modify the first sector to comprise one or more identifiers corresponding to content items of a second category different from the first category.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first circular interface is an inner circular interface of the plurality of concentric circular interfaces and the second circular interface is an outer circular interface of the plurality of concentric circular interfaces.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the super-interface comprises a central interface, and wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

based on receiving a selection of an identifier at a circular interface of the plurality of concentric circular interfaces, generate for display the selected identifier in the central interface.
