Abstract
A method for presenting a media item of a set of media items in a user interface (UI) of a client device is disclosed. The UI includes a first scrub area associated with a first scrub rate and a second scrub area associated with a second scrub rate. The client device receives a first user input via the first scrub area of the UI to navigate through the set of media items at the first scrub rate. The client device receives a second user input that is separate from the first user input via the second scrub area of the UI to navigate through the set of media items at a second scrub rate.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- presenting a media item of a set of media items in a user interface (UI) of a client device, the UI comprising:
- a plurality of predefined scrub areas that include a first scrub area and a second scrub area,
- the first scrub area being designated for a first scrub rate and including a scrub tool that illustrates a position of the presented media item within the set of media items, and
- the second scrub area being designated for a second scrub rate;
- receiving a first user input within the first scrub area via the UI to navigate through the set of media items at the first scrub rate, the first user input including an interaction within the first scrub area;
- and
- receiving a second user input within the second scrub area via the UI to navigate through the set of media items at the second scrub rate, the second user input including an interaction that started and ended in the second scrub area and that is separate from the first user input.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a physical processor operatively coupled to the memory, the physical processor to:
- present a media item of a set of media items in a user interface (UI) of a client device, the UI comprising:
- a plurality of predefined scrub areas that include a first scrub area and a second scrub area,
- the first scrub area being designated for a first scrub rate and including a scrub tool that illustrates a position of the presented media item within the set of media items, and
- the second scrub area being designated for a second scrub rate;
- receive a first user input within the first scrub area via the UI to navigate through the set of media items at the first scrub rate, the first user input including an interaction within the first scrub area;
- and
- receive a second user input within the second scrub area via the UI to navigate through the set of media items at the second scrub rate, the second user input including an interaction that started and ended in the second scrub area and that is separate from the first user input.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
- present a media item of a set of media items in a user interface (UI) of a client device, the UI comprising:
- a plurality of predefined scrub areas that include a first scrub area and a second scrub area,
- the first scrub area being designated for a first scrub rate and including a scrub tool that illustrates a position of the presented media item within the set of media items, and
- the second scrub area being designated for a second scrub rate;
- receive a first user input within the first scrub area via the UI to navigate through the set of media items at the first scrub rate, the first user input including an interaction within the first scrub area;
- and
- receive a second user input via the UI to navigate through the set of media items at the second scrub rate, the second user input including an interaction that started and ended in the second scrub area and that is separate from the first user input.
