Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a processor;
- a display coupled to the processor;
- a non-transitory memory coupled to the processor and storing instructions which, when executed by the processor
- configure the processor to:
- select a first thumbnail from a video;
- render the first thumbnail on the display without rendering any other thumbnails from the video;
- receive an input indicative of whether the first thumbnail is an acceptable representation of the video and
- in response to the input, if the first thumbnail is not an acceptable representation of the video, then:
- select a second thumbnail from the video in a randomized manner;
- and
- replace the first thumbnail with the second thumbnail on the display so that only a single thumbnail from the video is rendered at one time.
A method of previewing multimedia data, comprising:
- selecting a first graphical representation in association with a multimedia object;
- displaying the first graphical representation without displaying any other graphical representations associated with that multimedia object;
- receiving an input indicative of whether the first graphical representation is an acceptable representation of the multimedia object;
- in response to the input, if the first graphical representation is not an acceptable representation of the multimedia object, then:
- selecting a second graphical representation from the multimedia object in a randomized manner;
- and
- replacing the first graphical representation with the second graphical representation so that only a single graphical representation is rendered at one time.
