Title:
TIME-BASED GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR TELEVISION PROGRAM INFORMATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/109905
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A graphical user interface ("GUI") for a content management system
is provided, such as to present television program information and/or information
associated with other forms of multimedia content. In some situations, the GUI
includes information presented simultaneously using at least first and second
time scales, such as to provide relatively detailed information for content
corresponding to a shorter time scale (e.g., to display television program listings
with details about programs that are available during a time period at the shorter
time scale) and to provide relatively limited information for content corresponding
to a longer time scale (e.g., indications of other programs of potential interest
at times outside the time period of the shorter time scale). In addition, in some
situations the relatively limited information for content corresponding to
the longer time scale may be selectable by the user to provide various functionality
related to that content.
