METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND MEDIA FOR PRESENTING RELATED CONTENT IN A USER INTERFACE NAVIGATED USING DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18100271 titled 'METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND MEDIA FOR PRESENTING RELATED CONTENT IN A USER INTERFACE NAVIGATED USING DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and media for navigating a user interface. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves presenting a user interface with media identifier elements representing media assets.
  • These media identifier elements are arranged in a specific direction within the user interface.
  • The method includes selecting a first media asset and displaying it in a designated area of the user interface.
  • Additionally, related media assets are identified and displayed in another area of the user interface, aligned with the first media asset.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Media browsing platforms or applications that allow users to navigate through various media assets such as images, videos, or audio files.
  • E-commerce platforms that present related products or items based on the user's selection.
  • Social media platforms that display related posts or content based on the user's interests or preferences.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of navigating through a large number of media assets by presenting related items in a convenient and aligned manner.
  • Provides a more intuitive and efficient way for users to explore and discover related media assets.
  • Reduces the time and effort required to find and access relevant media content.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience by presenting related media assets in a visually organized and aligned manner.
  • Improved efficiency in browsing and exploring media assets, leading to increased user satisfaction.
  • Increased engagement and interaction with media content by providing easy access to related items.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and media for navigating a user interface are provided. In some embodiments, a method for navigating a user interface is provided, the method comprising: causing a user interface to be presented including a plurality of media identifier elements corresponding to media assets; causing the plurality of media identifier elements to be arranged along a first direction of the user interface; selecting a first media asset associated with a first media identifier element for presentation; identifying related media assets in response to selection of the first media asset; causing the first media asset to be presented in a first portion of the user interface; and causing related media identifier elements to be presented in a second portion of the user interface aligned with the first portion along the first direction.
