Abstract
A video playlist associated with a set of videos is distinguished in a graphical user interface using a dynamic thumbnail to represent the playlist. The dynamic thumbnail comprises a static portion comprising a first image associated with the set of videos and a dynamic portion comprising one or more second images associated with the set of videos. An image provided in the dynamic portion is configured to change while the first image remains the same in response to a shift in the graphical user interface that results in a change in position of the thumbnail about the user graphical user interface.
Claims21
A system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor that, when executing computer executable instructions stored in the memory, is configured to:
- generate a user interface that includes a thumbnail representing a plurality of media content items, wherein the thumbnail has a dynamic portion including a plurality of images that are each associated with one of the plurality of media content items and wherein the dynamic portion is configured to change between one of the plurality of images in response to receiving one or more user interactions with the user interface;
- detect a user interaction in the user interface;
- and
- in response to detecting the user interaction in the user interface, change an image from the plurality of images to another image from the plurality of images associated with the dynamic portion of the thumbnail.
A method comprising:
- generating, using a hardware processor, a user interface that includes a thumbnail representing a plurality of media content items, wherein the thumbnail has a dynamic portion including a plurality of images that are each associated with one of the plurality of media content items and wherein the dynamic portion is configured to change between one of the plurality of images in response to receiving one or more user interactions with the user interface;
- detecting, using the hardware processor, a user interaction in the user interface;
- and
- in response to detecting the user interaction in the user interface, changing, using the hardware processor, an image from the plurality of images to another image from the plurality of images associated with the dynamic portion of the thumbnail.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- generating a user interface that includes a thumbnail representing a plurality of media content items, wherein the thumbnail has a dynamic portion including a plurality of images that are each associated with one of the plurality of media content items and wherein the dynamic portion is configured to change between one of the plurality of images in response to receiving one or more user interactions with the user interface;
- detecting a user interaction in the user interface;
- and
- in response to detecting the user interaction in the user interface, changing an image from the plurality of images to another image from the plurality of images associated with the dynamic portion of the thumbnail.
