MULTI-SCREEN VIDEO USER INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323473 titled 'MULTI-SCREEN VIDEO USER INTERFACE
- Simplified Explanation:**
The patent application describes methods and systems for implementing multi-screen video user interfaces. A handheld device is used to search for content to be displayed on a television. The handheld device presents data in one format, while any changes to the navigation state are sent to the television. The television then updates and reformats the data in a different format optimized for display on the television.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Handheld device used to search for content to be displayed on a television - Data presented in different formats on the handheld device and television - Changes to navigation state on handheld device reflected on the television - First user interface native to handheld device, second user interface native to television
- Potential Applications:**
- Enhanced user experience for searching and viewing content on television - Seamless integration between handheld devices and televisions - Improved navigation and display of content across multiple screens
- Problems Solved:**
- Inconsistencies in user interfaces between handheld devices and televisions - Difficulty in navigating and searching for content on television - Lack of synchronization between handheld devices and televisions
- Benefits:**
- Familiar format for handheld device users - Optimized display of content on television - Enhanced user experience for searching and viewing content
- Commercial Applications:**
Potential commercial applications include smart TV systems, streaming services, and interactive content platforms. This technology could revolutionize the way users interact with content on multiple screens, leading to increased engagement and satisfaction.
- Questions about Multi-Screen Video User Interfaces:**
1. How does this technology improve the user experience for searching and viewing content on television? 2. What are the key differences between the first user interface native to the handheld device and the second user interface native to the television?
Original Abstract Submitted
methods and systems for implementing multi-screen video user interfaces. a handheld device is used to search for content to be displayed on a television. the handheld device presents data according to a first user interface, and while searching for content, any changes to the navigation state of the handheld device are sent to the television. the television receives an update and reformats the data according to a second user interface optimized for displaying the data on the television. the first user interface is native to the handheld device and the second user interface is native to the television. the user of the handheld device is able to utilize a familiar format while searching for content while viewers of the television are able to see the same navigation state as the handheld device but in a familiar format on the television.
