Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for providing a scaled user interface. A content player can provide a user interface that enables a user to manage playback (e.g., seek) of the time-based content item. The user can access a first playback direction (e.g., a first playback axis, etc.) associated with the time-based content item and cause a user interface element to be displayed. The user can click/press the user interface element in a continuous action to cause a second playback direction (e.g., a second playback axis, etc.) to be displayed. The second playback direction can be associated with a scale that is different (e.g., less/greater) than a scale associated with the first playback direction.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a first interaction with a first seek indicator on a first playback axis associated with a content item;
- causing, based on the first interaction, display of a user interface element;
- receiving, via the user interface element, at a playback time instance of a plurality of playback time instances, a second interaction with a second seek indicator on a second playback axis associated with the content item, wherein the second playback axis comprises the plurality of playback time instances of the content item;
- and
- causing, based on the second interaction with the second seek indicator, a change in the playback time instance.
A method comprising:
- receiving a first interaction with a first seek indicator on a first playback axis associated with a content item;
- causing, based on the first interaction, display of a second playback axis associated with the content item, wherein the second playback axis comprises a second seek indicator and a plurality of playback time instances associated with the content item;
- receiving a second interaction with the second seek indicator, wherein the second interaction comprises a continuous interaction;
- and
- causing, based on the continuous interaction, a change in a scale associated with the second playback axis.
A method comprising:
- causing display of a content item and a first playback axis associated with the content item;
- receiving a first interaction with the first playback axis;
- causing, based on the first interaction with the first playback axis, the first playback axis to no longer be displayed;
- causing display of a second playback axis associated with the content item, wherein the second playback axis comprises a plurality of playback time instances associated with the content item;
- receiving a continuous interaction with the second playback axis;
- and
- causing, based on the continuous interaction, a change in a scale associated with the second playback axis.
