Abstract
A method includes receiving an input at a media display control device and performing a media control function in response to the input, where the media control function causes the media display control device to change a playback parameter of displayed media content. The method further includes determining a control value corresponding to the media control function and, based on the control value satisfying a threshold, displaying a progress bar with the displayed media content.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving an input at a media display control device;
- performing a media control function in response to the input, wherein the media control function causes the media display control device to change a playback parameter associated with displayed media content;
- determining a control value corresponding to the media control function;
- retrieving a threshold from a memory of the media display control device;
- and
- based on the control value exceeding the threshold, displaying a progress bar associated with the media control function with the displayed media content.
A computer-readable storage device comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an input at a media display control device;
- performing a media control function in response to the input, wherein the media control function causes the media display control device to change a playback parameter associated with media content;
- determining a control value corresponding to the media control function;
- comparing the control value to a threshold;
- and
- based on the control value exceeding the threshold, displaying a progress bar associated with the media control function with the media content.
A device comprising:
- an interface to receive input to initiate a media control function;
- a media display controller to modify a playback parameter associated with media content in response to the media control function;
- and
- a display interface configured to:
- send the media content to a display device without a progress bar associated with the media control function based on a control value associated with the media control function not exceeding a threshold;
- and
- send the media content and the progress bar associated with the media control function to the display device based on the control value associated with the media control function exceeding the threshold.
