Abstract
A user device with a touch-sensitive display presents a user interface with multiple content options and detects, on the touch-sensitive display, a touch indicating selection of one of the multiple content options. The user device monitors a duration of the touch. The user device presents a first set of selectable options, associated with the one of the multiple content options, in response to determining that the duration of the touch exceeds the first time threshold, and presents a second set of selectable options, associated with the one of the multiple content options, in response to determining that the duration of the touch exceeds the second time threshold.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- presenting, by the user device and to a user, a user interface providing multiple content options;
- detecting, by the user device and on the user interface, a touch indicating selection of one of the multiple content options;
- determining, by the user device, whether a duration of the touch exceeds a first time threshold;
- presenting, by the user device, a first set of selectable options, associated with the one of the multiple content options, in response to determining that the duration of the touch exceeds the first time threshold;
- determining, by the user device, whether the duration of the touch exceeds a second time threshold;
- and
- presenting, by the user device, a second set of selectable options, associated with the one of the multiple content options, in response to determining that the duration of the touch exceeds the second time threshold, wherein presenting the second set of selectable options includes:
- identifying, based on content metadata for content identified in the one of the multiple content options, a data set relevant to the one of the multiple content options,
- extracting, form the data set, particular fields for display in data-driven icons, and
- presenting the data-driven icons that display consolidated or excerpted versions of information that the user can access by selecting one of the second set of selectable options.
A user device, comprising:
- one or more memories to store instructions, a first time threshold, and a second time threshold;
- a touch-sensitive display;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute instructions in the one or more memories to:
- present, on the touch-sensitive display, a user interface with multiple content options,
- detect, on the touch-sensitive display, a touch, from a user, indicating selection of one of the multiple content options,
- monitor a duration of the touch,
- present a first set of selectable options, associated with the one of the multiple content options, when the duration of the touch exceeds the first time threshold, and
- present a second set of selectable options, associated with the one of the multiple content options, when the duration of the touch exceeds the second time threshold, wherein presenting the second set of selectable options includes:
- identifying, based on content metadata for content identified in the one of the multiple content options, a data set relevant to the one of the multiple content options,
- extracting, from the data set, particular fields for display in data-driven icons, and
- presenting the data-driven icons that display consolidated or excerpted versions of information that the user can access by selecting one of the second set of selectable options.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions, the computer-readable medium comprising one or more instructions to:
- present, to a user, a user interface providing multiple video content options;
- detect, on the user interface, a touch indicating selection of one of the multiple video content options;
- determine if a duration of the touch exceeds a first time threshold;
- present a first set of selectable options, associated with the one of the multiple video content options, when the duration of the touch exceeds the first time threshold;
- determine if the duration of the touch exceeds a second time threshold;
- and
- present a second set of selectable options, associated with the one of the multiple video content options, when the duration of the touch exceeds the second time threshold, wherein presenting the second set of selectable options includes:
- identifying, based on content metadata for content indentified in the one of the multiple video content options, a data relevant to the one of the multiple video content options,
- extracting, from the data set, particular fields for display in data-driven icons, and
- presenting the data-driven icons that display consolidated or excerpted versions of information that the user can access by selecting one of the second set of selectable options.
