## Abstract

Mechanisms are provided for allowing a user to dynamically manage rich media content in an efficient and effective manner. Tiles including media content, personalized video selections, content pack upgrades, and promotions for featured content are presented to a user. Each tile may include calls to view, purchase, discuss, rate, review, or read about associated content. Tiles may be presented as still images, logos, text, or live video. Multiple tiles may be manipulated using keyboard, mouse, touchpad, and/or touchscreen movements, motions, and gestures. In particular examples, an overlay provided on top of a tile mechanism provides a user with additional navigation and management options.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

1-20. (canceled)

### Claim 21

A method for dynamically generating a navigable tile-based interface, the method comprising:
storing information that identifies a plurality of user profiles using at least one data structure, wherein each user profile of the plurality of user profiles comprises respective user characteristics information;
receiving, from a device associated with a first profile of the plurality of user profiles, a request for data associated with a user interface of a media content provider, wherein the user interface of the media content provider comprises the navigable tile-based interface;
based at least in part on the request:
selecting a plurality of media content items based at least in part on user characteristics information of the first profile, wherein respective tiles for the plurality of media content items are to be included in the navigable tile-based interface;
transmitting data that comprises information for a personalized user interface tile, and that causes display of the navigable tile-based interface that comprises the personalized user interface tile:
wherein appearance of the personalized user interface tile is personalized based at least in part on: media content information of at least one media content item of the plurality of media content items, and the user characteristics information of the first profile;
wherein the appearance of the personalized user interface tile comprises a personalized image representative of at least a portion of the at least one media content item of the plurality of media content items, wherein the personalized image is personalized based on the user characteristics information of the first profile; and
wherein the navigable tile-based interface is configured to display a consumption option for consuming the at least one media content item of the personalized user interface tile.

### Claim 22 (depends on 21)

The method of claim 21, further comprising transmitting additional data to cause the appearance of the personalized user interface tile to change to display another image representative of at least another portion of the at least one media content item of the plurality of media content items.

### Claim 23 (depends on 21)

The method of claim 21, further comprising transmitting additional data to cause the appearance of the personalized user interface tile to change to display a looping clip of the at least one media content item of the plurality of media content items.

### Claim 24 (depends on 21)

The method of claim 21, wherein the navigable tile-based interface comprises a visual pattern of tiles, the method further comprising:
transmitting a mapping information from the media content provider to cause arrangement of the tiles for the plurality of media content items according to the visual pattern of tiles based on the mapping information.

### Claim 25 (depends on 21)

The method of claim 21, wherein the data that causes display of the navigable tile-based interface is transmitted based at least in part on an authentication request.

### Claim 26 (depends on 21)

The method of claim 21, wherein the personalized image is personalized based on matching a first metadata associated with the first profile to a second metadata associated with the personalized image.

### Claim 27 (depends on 21)

The method of claim 21, wherein the personalized image is personalized based at least in part on demographic data associated with the first profile.

### Claim 28 (depends on 21)

The method of claim 21, wherein the personalized image is personalized based at least in part on group information associated with the first profile.

### Claim 29 (depends on 21)

The method of claim 21, wherein the personalized image is personalized based at least in part on viewing history information associated with the first profile.

### Claim 30 (depends on 21)

The method of claim 21, further comprising:
receiving a user interface selection of the personalized user interface tile; and
in response to the receiving, playing the at least one media content item.
