Title:
SYNCHRONIZED CONTENT SCRUBBER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/195940
Kind Code:
A4
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium are provided for presenting a synchronized content scrubber. For example, a user device may store digital content items for presentation on a screen of the user device. A user interface may be configured with multiple viewing areas (104), (106). An image (110), (112) that represents a content item may be presented in the first viewing area (104) and the second viewing area (106). However, in the second viewing area (106), the image (112) that represents the content item may be presented in a visually distinct manner from other images in the second viewing area (106).

AMENDED CLAIMS

received by the International Bureau on 28 January 2017 (28.01 .2017)

1. A computer-implemented method for presenting content in a user interface of a mobile phone, comprising:

identifying, by the mobile phone, a plurality of digital assets, generating the user interface with a first viewing area and a second viewing area;

presenting, in the first viewing area, a first image that represents an asset of the plurality of digital assets;

presenting, in the second viewing area, a second image that represents the asset in a visually distinct manner from other images that represent at least a subset of the plurality of digital assets that are also presented in the second viewing area;

identifying information of a swipe action on a touch screen of the mobile phone, the information of the swipe action compri sing a location and a direction of the swipe action;

determining, based at least in part on the location and the direction of the swipe action, whether to animate the user interface based at least in part on a first mode of navigation or a second mode of navigation, and

synchronizing the first image presented in the first viewing area with the second image presented in the second viewing area based at least in part on the first mode of navigation or the second mode of navigation. 2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the second viewing area is configured to present an image scrubber interface for scrolling through the second image and the other images. 3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein the image scrubber interface is configured to present a video scrubber interface for scrolling through frames of a video asset of the plurality of digital assets, the video scrubber interface presented adjacent to remaining assets of the plurality of digital assets presented in the image scrubber interface, 4. The computer-implemented method of claims 1 , 2, or 3, wherein the visually distinct manner of presentation of the second image comprises presenting the second image with buffering content on either side of the second image such that the second image is presented spaced further from the other images than the other images are spaced from each other. 5. The computer-implemented method of claims 1, 2, 3, or 4, wherein the first mode of navigation comprises movement of the first image being presented in the first viewing area synchronized in response to movement of the second image in the second viewing area when the location and the direction of the swipe action is identified to correspond with a swipe of the second image. 6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the movement of the first image being presented synchronized in response to the movement of the second image comprises moving the first image in a left or right direction at a same speed as the second image is controlled in the left or right direction based at least in part on the direction of the swipe action. 7. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the first image is changed to a third image of the other images in response to movement of the second image in the second viewing area out of a center location of a scrubber interface of the second viewing area and movement of the third image into the center location of the scrubber interface, 8. The computer-implemented method of claims 1 , 2, 3, 4, or 5, wherein the second mode of navigation comprises movement of the second image being presented in the second viewing area synchronized in response to movement of the first image in the first viewing area when the location and the direction of the swipe action is identified to correspond with a swipe of the first image. 9. The computer-implemented method of claims 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, wherein, the first viewing area is configured to be presented above the second viewing area. 10. A device configured to present content in a user interface, comprising: a touch screen configured to receive touch input;

a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions; and a processor in communication with the memory and the touch screen, the processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to at least;

identify a plurality of assets; present the user interface with a first viewing area and a second viewing area;

present a first image, in the first viewing area, that represents a first asset of the plurality of assets;

present a second image, in the second viewing area, that represents a second asset of the plurality of the assets in a visually distinct manner from at least a third image that represents one of a subset of the plurality of assets that are also presented in the second viewing area;

identify, by the touch screen, a swipe action on the user interface, the swipe action comprising a location and a direction of the swipe action; and

synchronize the first image presented in the first viewing area with the second image presented in the second viewing area based at least in part on the location and the direction of the swipe action. 11. The device of claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to at least:

identify, based at least in part on the location of the selection, a first or second mode of navigation; and

synchronize the first image with the second image based at least in part on the identified mode of navigation, the second image presented in an image scrubber interface of the second viewing area that also presents the third image and other images that represent the subset of the plurality of assets. 12. The device of claim 1 1, wherein the first mode of navigation comprises presenting movement of the first image in the first viewing area synchronized in response to movement of the second image in the second viewing area when the location and the direction of the swipe action is identified to correspond with the second image, the third image, or the other images. 13. The device of claim 12, wherein the presented movement of the first image in the first mode of navigation comprises:

synchronizing a scroll of images through the first viewing area to match a speed of a scroll of the other images, and

presenting, in the first viewing area, a new image that corresponds to a particular image of the other images that is identified in a center of the image scrubber interface when the scrolling is complete.

14. The device of claims 10, 1 1, 12, or 13, wherein the first asset and the second asset are a same asset of the plurality of assets such that the first image and the second image represent the same asset, wherein the first image is presented in the first viewing area based at least in part on an aspect ratio of the same asset, and wherein the second image is presented in the second viewing area based at least in part on an aspect ratio of other images presented in the second viewing area, 15. The device of claims 10, 1 1 , 12, 13, or 14, wherein at least one of the plurality of assets comprises at least one of an image file, a video file, an audio file, or a set of image files.
