Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed that relate to adapting trick commands to prior trick command usage. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method of operating a media presentation device, the method including, during playback of a video content item, receiving a user input of a sequence of trick commands that has a net effect on a playback location in the video content item, and in response to the sequence of trick commands, adapting a response to a later trick command based upon the net effect of the sequence of trick commands.
Claims20
A method of operating a media presentation device, the method comprising:
- during playback of a video content item, receiving a user input of a sequence of trick commands that has a net effect on a playback location in the video content item;
- and
- in response to the sequence of trick commands, adapting a response to a later trick command based upon the net effect of the sequence of trick commands.
A presentation control device configured to communicate with a media playback device to control media playback on the media playback device, the presentation control device comprising:
- a user interface comprising a plurality of trick command user input controls, the plurality of trick command user input controls comprising
- one or more forward trick controls each configured to trigger a selected forward trick command response,
- one or more reverse trick controls each configured to trigger a selected reverse trick command response,
- one or more dedicated adaptive user interface controls each configured to trigger an adaptive trick command response having an effect based upon prior user inputs made via the one or more forward trick controls and the one or more reverse trick controls;
- and
- a logic subsystem configured to execute instructions stored in a data-holding subsystem to receive user inputs made via the user interface and to send the user inputs to a media playback device.
A method of operating a media presentation device, the method comprising:
- receiving a first sequence of trick commands comprising one or more first direction trick commands and one or more second direction trick commands, the one or more second direction trick commands having a total skipped time of less than the one or more first direction trick commands;
- receiving a second sequence of trick commands comprising one or more first direction trick commands;
- and
- adjusting a response to one or more selected first direction trick commands of the second sequence based upon an offset of the one or more second direction trick commands.
