Customized clock based skip functionality

A system for navigating media content, the system comprising:

• control circuitry to:
• generate for display, on a user device, the media content and a selectable indicator for incrementally skipping through the media content;
• receive a first input indicating selection of the selectable indicator;
• in response to receiving the first input indicating the selection of the selectable indicator, generate for display at least two selectable navigation settings, wherein:
• each navigation setting is associated with a navigation interval within the content, the navigation interval of each navigation setting being different from one another;
• and
• each navigation setting is associated with a corresponding scaling parameter;
• receive an input indicating a selection of one of the selectable navigation settings;
• receive an input indicating the navigation interval to be associated with the selected navigation setting;
• receive a number of further inputs of the selectable indicator, the number of further inputs being a path drawn by the user on the user device;
• in response to receiving the input path:
• compute the length of the input path as the overall length of the input path in 2-dimensions;
• and
• navigate from a current play position of the media content to a first shifted play position of the media content based on the selected navigation setting, the navigation interval, and the length of the input path;
• scale the selected navigation setting by the scaling parameter;
• navigate from the first shifted play position to a second shifted play position based on the scaled navigation setting;
• and
• generate for display, on the user device, the media content from the second shifted play position.
