US 2019/0056856 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REPRESENTING DATA, MEDIA, AND TIME USING SPATIAL LEVELS OF DETAIL IN 2D AND 3D DIGITAL APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Approaches provide for navigating or otherwise interacting with content in response to input from a user, including voice inputs, device inputs, gesture inputs, among other such inputs such that a user can quickly and easily navigate to different levels of detail of content. This can include, for example, presenting content (e.g., images, multimedia, text, etc.) in a particular layout, and/or highlighting, emphasizing, animating, or otherwise altering in appearance, and/or arrangement of the interface elements used to present the content based on a current level of detail, where the current level of detail can be determined by data selection criteria associated with a magnification level and other such data. As a user interacts with the computing device, for example, by providing a zoom input, values of the selection criteria can be updated, which can be used to filter and/or select content for presentation.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computing system, comprising:

a computing device processor;
a memory device including instructions that, when executed by the computing device processor, enables the computing system to:
obtain content from a content provider, the content including a plurality of content portions, individual content portions of the plurality of content portions associated with a content type;
associate a function with individual content types;
receive an input that indicates at least a magnification level for a display of content on a display screen of a computing device;
apply, based at least in part on the magnification level, a first function to a first portion of content of a first content type to determine a second portion of content of a second content type, the second content type associated with a second function, the first function and the second function operable to identify portions of content based on at least a value associated with the portions of content;
and
generate a presentation of content that includes the first portion of content and the second portion of content for the magnification level.

5 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, causes the computing system to:

obtain content from a content provider, the content including a plurality of content portions, individual content portions of the plurality of content portions associated with a content type;
associate a function with individual content types;
receive an input that indicates at least a magnification level for a display of content on a display screen of a computing device;
apply, based at least in part on the magnification level, a first function to a first portion of content of a first content type to determine a second portion of content of a second content type, the second content type associated with a second function;
and
generate a presentation of content that includes the first portion of content and the second portion of content for the magnification level.
