Abstract
In a content delivery network, a client-side graphical user interface displays a plurality of media widgets associated with a plurality of user-selectable media channels and a plurality of device widgets associated with a plurality of user-selectable client devices. A user control is configurable for interacting with the media widgets and the device widgets, and enables a user to move a presentation of a selected media channel from a first client device to at least a second client device. A media channel processor configures the selected media channel for presentation on the client devices.
Claims28
A graphical user interface, comprising:
- a media field comprising a plurality of media widgets associated with a plurality of user-selectable media channels;
- a device field comprising a plurality of device widgets associated with a plurality of user-selectable client devices;
- and
- a user control configurable for interacting with the plurality of media widgets and the plurality of device widgets, and responsive to a user input for moving a presentation of at least one selected media channel from at least a first user-selectable client device to at least a second user-selectable client device.
A computer system configurable for interacting with a plurality of client-side devices, comprising:
- a media channel processor responsive to user input for configuring selected media channels for presentation on at least one of a plurality of user-selectable client devices;
- and
- a client-side graphical user interface, comprising
- a canvas display for depicting the plurality of user-selectable client devices and a plurality of media channels;
- and
- a user control configurable for moving a presentation of a selected media channel from a first user-selectable client device to at least a second user-selectable client device.
A computer-implemented method for configuring media channels to be presented on at least one of a plurality of client devices, comprising:
- displaying the plurality of client devices and the media channels on a client-side graphical user interface;
- enabling a user control for associating at least one of the media channels with at least one of the client devices;
- and
- responsive to a user input, configuring at least one selected media channel for presentation on a selected client device.
A computer program residing on one or more computer-readable media configurable for interacting with a plurality of client-side devices, comprising:
- a media channel adaptor source-code segment responsive to user input for configuring selected media for presentation on at least one of the plurality of client devices;
- a client-side graphical canvas display source-code segment for displaying the plurality of client devices and a plurality of available media channels;
- and
- a user control source-code segment responsive to user input for moving a presentation of a selected media channel from at least a first client device to at least a second client device.
