Abstract
Methods and systems for dynamically navigating content are provided. An input to perform content navigation may be detected; in response, several selectable navigation settings are displayed, each navigation setting being associated with a navigation interval. An input indicating a selection of a navigation setting may be received and an input about a navigation amount may be received. Based on the navigation amount, navigation within the navigation interval is performed.
Claims18
A method for navigating content, the method comprising:
- generating for display, on a content display interface, a seekbar, wherein the seekbar indicates a current play position of the content;
- receiving a first input to perform a content navigation operation;
- in response to receiving the first input, generating for display, on the content display interface, at least two selectable navigation settings, wherein each of the at least two selectable navigation settings is associated with one of at least two shifting limit values that determines, in combination with the current play position, a navigation interval within the content, each of the at least two shifting limit values of the at least two selectable navigation settings being different from one another, wherein a first navigation setting of the at least two selectable navigation settings permits navigation in seconds and a second navigation setting of the at least two selectable navigation settings permits navigation in minutes, wherein the first navigation setting is positioned in a first portion of the content display interface located behind an indicator representing the current play position on the seekbar and the second navigation setting is positioned in a second portion of the content display interface located in front of the indicator representing the current play position on the seekbar, and wherein each of the first navigation setting and the second navigation setting includes a first shifting limit which is an absolute shift limit and a second shifting limit which is a relative shift limit;
- receiving a second input indicating a selection of one of the at least two selectable navigation settings, the at least two selectable navigation settings including the first shifting limit and the second shifting limit, wherein the first shifting limit is based upon an overall length of the content;
- receiving a third input, via the seekbar, indicating a navigation amount within the content display interface, the navigation amount being relative to the first shifting limit or the second shifting limit;
- and
- navigating from the current play position to a shifted play position within the navigation interval based on the selection of the one of the at least two selectable navigation settings and the navigation amount.

A system for navigating content, the system comprising:
- control circuitry configured to:
- generate for display, on a content display interface, a seekbar, wherein the seekbar indicates a current play position of the content;
- receive a first input to perform a content navigation operation;
- in response to receiving the first input, generate for display, on the content display interface, at least two selectable navigation settings, wherein each of the at least two selectable navigation settings is associated with one of at least two shifting limit values that determines, in combination with the current play position, a navigation interval within the content, each of the at least two shifting limit values of the at least two selectable navigation settings being different from one another, wherein a first navigation setting of the at least two selectable navigation settings permits navigation in seconds and a second navigation setting of the at least two selectable navigation settings permits navigation in minutes, wherein the first navigation setting is positioned in a first portion of the content display interface located behind an indicator representing the current play position on the seekbar and the second navigation setting is positioned in a second portion of the content display interface located in front of the indicator representing the current play position on the seekbar, and wherein each of the first navigation setting and the second navigation setting includes a first shifting limit which is an absolute shift limit and a second shifting limit which is a relative shift limit;
- receive a second input indicating a selection of one of the at least two selectable navigation settings, the at least two selectable navigation settings including the first shifting limit and the second shifting limit, wherein the first shifting limit is based upon an overall length of the content;
- receive a third input, via the seekbar, indicating a navigation amount within the content display interface, the navigation amount being relative to the first shifting limit or the second shifting limit;
- and
- navigate from the current play position to a shifted play position within the navigation interval based on the selection of the one of the at least two selectable navigation settings and the navigation amount.
