Abstract
Computer-implemented systems and methods for handling media assets in a networked environment. Media assets located in a data store are searched and through use of a level of relatedness algorithm, a subset of media assets are returned to a user's device. The subset of media assets are displayed in a tiered arrangement to a user.
Claims33
A method for operation upon a device having a processor, comprising:
- receiving search input from a user;
- retrieving media digital assets from a data store based upon the received search input;
- automatically displaying the retrieved media digital assets as tiers of widgets on a display device;
- wherein a first widget is displayed on a first tier on the display device;
- wherein the media digital asset associated with the first widget is directly displayed to the user through the first widget;
- wherein a plurality of other widgets is displayed on a second tier on the display device;
- wherein the media digital assets associated with the plurality of other widgets on the second tier are manipulable by the user such that, upon manipulation by the user, a media digital asset associated with a widget on the second tier is directly presented to the user.
