Abstract

The invention is directed to an electronic device. The electronic device generates for presentation on a display a user interface including a plurality of content items, a first heading, and a second heading. While the user interface is presented on the display, the electronic device receives input scrolling the plurality of content items. In response to the input, the electronic device scrolls the plurality of content items including: scrolling the first heading with a first content item of the plurality of content items that is currently playing; and scrolling the second heading with a second content item of the plurality of content items that is next in a queue of content items.

Claims45

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory:
generating for presentation on a display a user interface including:
a first user interface object, corresponding to a first content item, that is associated with a first region of the user interface that is adjacent to the first user interface object, wherein the first region includes first information associated with the first user interface object, and the first information associated with the first user interface object indicates first one or more characteristics of the first content item;
and
a second user interface object, corresponding to a second content item, that is associated with a second region of the user interface that is adjacent to the second user interface object and is different from the first region, wherein the second region includes first information associated with the second user interface object, and the first information associated with the second user interface object indicates first one or more characteristics of the second content item;
while the first user interface object is selected, causing display, in the first region, of second information that is associated with the first user interface object concurrently with the first information that is associated with the first user interface object;
and
while the first information and the second information associated with the first user interface object are displayed in the first region, receiving user input comprising:
ending the selection of the first user interface object;
and
selecting the second user interface object;
and
in response to receiving the user input:
causing an end of the display of the second information that is associated with the first user interface object in the first region while maintaining the display of the first user interface object and the first information that is associated with the first user interface object in the first region;
and
causing display, in the second region, of second information that is associated with the second user interface object concurrently with the first information that is associated with the second user interface object.

13 more elements

An electronic device, comprising:

one or more processors;
memory;
and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
generating for presentation on a display a user interface including:
a first user interface object, corresponding to a first content item, that is associated with a first region of the user interface that is adjacent to the first user interface object, wherein the first region includes first information associated with the first user interface object, and the first information associated with the first user interface object indicates first one or more characteristics of the first content item;
and
a second user interface object, corresponding to a second content item, that is associated with a second region of the user interface that is adjacent to the second user interface object and is different from the first region, wherein the second region includes first information associated with the second user interface object, and the first information associated with the second user interface object indicates first one or more characteristics of the second content item;
while the first user interface object is selected, causing display, in the first region, of second information that is associated with the first user interface object concurrently with the first information that is associated with the first user interface object;
while the first information and the second information associated with the first user interface object are displayed in the first region, receiving user input comprising:
ending the selection of the first user interface object;
and
selecting the second user interface object;
and
in response to receiving the user input:
causing an end of the display of the second information that is associated with the first user interface object in the first region while maintaining the display of the first user interface object and the first information that is associated with the first user interface object in the first region;
and
causing display, in the second region, of second information that is associated with the second user interface object concurrently with the first information that is associated with the second user interface object.

15 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device with one or more processors and memory, cause the device to:

generate for presentation on a display a user interface including:
a first user interface object, corresponding to a first content item, that is associated with a first region of the user interface that is adjacent to the first user interface object, wherein the first region includes first information associated with the first user interface object, and the first information associated with the first user interface object indicates first one or more characteristics of the first content item;
and
a second user interface object, corresponding to a second content item, that is associated with a second region of the user interface that is adjacent to the second user interface object and is different from the first region, wherein the second region includes first information associated with the second user interface object, and the first information associated with the second user interface object indicates first one or more characteristics of the second content item;
while the first user interface object is selected, cause display, in the first region, of second information that is associated with the first user interface object concurrently with the first information that is associated with the first user interface object;
while the first information and the second information associated with the first user interface object are displayed in the first region, receive user input comprising:
ending the selection of the first user interface object;
and
selecting the second user interface object;
and
in response to receiving the user input:
cause an end of the display of the second information that is associated with the first user interface object in the first region while maintaining the display of the first user interface object and the first information that is associated with the first user interface object in the first region;
and
cause display, in the second region, of second information that is associated with the second user interface object concurrently with the first information that is associated with the second user interface object.
