User navigation via vectors dynamically mapped to distinct media attributes

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor circuit configured for generating, for display to a user, a user selection interface having an origin, the user selection interface enabling simultaneous multidimensional navigation toward one or more video content elements based on representing a plurality of content selection vectors extending from the origin and mapped to respectively distinct media attributes within a prescribed attribute type;
• and
• a user interface circuit configured for detecting a user input that extends from the origin toward at least one of the content selection vectors and that identifies a selected position within the user selection interface;
• the processor circuit further configured for generating, for display to the user, an updated user selection interface in response to interpreting the selected position of the user input as having a determined correlation toward the corresponding distinct media attribute of the at least one content selection vector, the updated user selection interface having a corresponding updated origin at the selected position and representing a plurality of updated content selection vectors having a determined relative correlation to the at least one content selection vector;
• the processor circuit further configured for selecting, for display to the user concurrent with the display of the updated user selection interface, at least one identifier for a corresponding video content element having the corresponding media attribute having a highest correlation with the at least one content selection vector relative to the selected position from the origin.

Logic encoded in one or more tangible media for execution and when executed operable for:

• generating and displaying, to a user, a user selection interface having an origin, the user selection interface enabling simultaneous multidimensional navigation toward one or more video content elements based on representing a plurality of content selection vectors extending from the origin and mapped to respectively distinct media attributes within a prescribed attribute type;
• detecting a user input that extends from the origin toward at least one of the content selection vectors and that identifies a selected position within the user selection interface as a user selection having a determined relative correlation toward the corresponding distinct media attribute of the at least one content selection vector;
• generating and displaying to the user an updated user selection interface in response to the user input, the updated user selection interface having a corresponding updated origin at the selected position and representing a plurality of updated content selection vectors having a determined relative correlation to the at least one content selection vector;
• and
• selecting and displaying to the user, concurrent with the displaying of the updated user selection interface, at least one identifier for a corresponding video content element having the corresponding media attribute having a highest correlation with the at least one content selection vector relative to the selected position from the origin.
