USER INTERFACES FOR ACCESSING EPISODES OF A CONTENT SERIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18518109 titled 'USER INTERFACES FOR ACCESSING EPISODES OF A CONTENT SERIES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a user interface for an electronic device associated with an episodic series, allowing users to easily access and download episodes.
- The user interface displays downloaded episodes of the series and includes a download option for not-yet-downloaded episodes.
- Users can select a specific episode to either initiate its display or access a user interface for that episode.
- The user interface streamlines the viewing experience for episodic content on electronic devices.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied to streaming services, video platforms, and media player devices to enhance the user experience of accessing and downloading episodic content.
Problems Solved
1. Simplifies the process of accessing and downloading episodes of an episodic series. 2. Provides a user-friendly interface for managing and viewing episodic content on electronic devices.
Benefits
1. Improved user experience for navigating episodic content. 2. Efficient downloading process for new episodes. 3. Streamlined interface design for easy access to episodes.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing User Experience for Episodic Content on Electronic Devices
Original Abstract Submitted
In some embodiments, an electronic device displays a user interface associated with an episodic series. In some embodiments, the user interface includes representations of episodes that are downloaded on the device, does not include a representation of a given not-yet-downloaded episode, and optionally includes a download affordance that is selectable to initiate a process for downloading not-yet-downloaded episodes. In some embodiments, an electronic device displays a user interface associated with an episodic series, wherein the user interface associated with the episodic series of content includes representations of episodes of the episodic series. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the user input selecting a respective representation, the device either initiates a process to display the respective episode or displays a user interface associated with the respective episode without displaying the respective episode.
