Abstract
Methods and systems for scrolling through content of media. An example method performed on a cell phone receives an index of segments from a server over a cellular network and a public data network. The received segment is presented based on the received index of segments. A request for a media file associated with the presented segment is generated and sent, if a user selection signal is received. The index of segments includes information that associates a preselected segment of a full media file with the full media file. A request for a segment associated with the received index of segments to the server is generated and sent and the requested segment is received from the server based on the request before presenting. The requested media file is received and presented after the server processes the request for the media file.
Claims28
A method comprising:
- receiving an index at a mobile communication device, wherein the index associates a plurality of content segments with a corresponding plurality of full content files;
- receiving a first content segment of the plurality of content segments, wherein the first content segment corresponds to a first full content file;
- presenting the first content segment;
- receiving a selection of the first content segment;
- and
- transmitting a request for the first full content file, wherein the request is generated based at least in part on the selection of the first content segment and at least in part on the index.
A mobile communication device comprising:
- a processor;
- a radio component operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the radio component is configured to
- receive an index, wherein the index associates a plurality of content segments with a corresponding plurality of full content files;
- and
- receive a first content segment of the plurality of content segments, wherein the first content segment corresponds to a first full content file;
- an output operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the output is configured to present the first content segment;
- an interface configured to receive a selection of the first content segment;
- and
- wherein the radio component is further configured to transmit a request for the first full content file, wherein the request is generated based at least in part on the selection of the first content segment and at least in part on the index.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processing device, configure the processing device to:
- receive an index, wherein the index associates a plurality of content segments with a corresponding plurality of full content file;
- receive a first content segment of the plurality of content segments,
- wherein the first content segment corresponds to a first full content file;
- present the first content segment;
- receive a selection of the first content segment;
- and transmit a request for the first full content file, wherein the request is generated based at least in part on the selection of the first content segment and at least in part on the index.
The non-transitory computer-readable medium 16,
- wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processing device, further configure the processing device to transmit a second request for the index to a server.
The non-transitory computer-readable medium 17,
- wherein the second request for the index is transmitted upon activation of the processing device.
The non-transitory computer-readable medium 16,
- wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processing device, further configure the processing device to receive the first full content file in response to the request for the first full content file.
A method comprising:
- providing an index to a mobile communication device, wherein the index associates a plurality of content segments with a corresponding plurality of full content files;
- providing a first content segment of the plurality of content segments to the mobile communication device, wherein the first content segment corresponds to a first full content file;
- and
- receiving a request for the first full content file, wherein the request is generated based at least in part on a selection of the first content segment at the mobile communication device.
