A multimedia visual progress indication system that provides a cache bar that is overlaid onto the program material or displayed on a dedicated display. A cache bar indicates the length of a recording session or the length of stored program material and expands to the right when material is being recorded. Index and/or bookmark indicators are displayed next to the cache bar. A position indicator moves within the cache bar and tells the user visually where his current position is within the program material. Numeric time or counter mark of the current position is displayed in the vicinity of the cache bar. The trick play bar and its associated components are displayed for a predetermined time period.

Example implementations may involve using a prompt to prevent inadvertent control or playback of audio content. When a mobile device receives input data indicating a command to play back audio content on a first playback device, the mobile device determines whether the mobile device is in proximity to the first playback device. If the mobile device determines that the mobile device within a given proximity to the first playback device, the mobile device transmits, via the network interface, one or more commands to instruct the first playback device to play back the audio content. However, if the mobile device determines that the mobile device outside the proximity, the mobile device displays a prompt indicating that the mobile device is the outside the given proximity to the first playback device and a selectable control that, when selected, transmits the one or more commands to play back the audio content.

A device and method are presently disclosed. The computer implemented method, includes at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, displaying a still image on the touch-sensitive display, while displaying the still image, detecting user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display, and in response to detecting the user's finger contact, video recording the still image.

A game apparatus as a video reproduction controlling apparatus includes a CPU, and the CPU executes a reproduction control of a DVD. In the middle of reproducing the DVD, a content such as an video, a voice, etc. are reproduced. In a case that a reproduction operation such as pause, reproduction, fast reverse, fast forward, heading, etc. is not prohibited, in response to an instruction of the reproduced screen displayed on the monitor with a controller, an operation panel for reproduction operation is displayed. On the other hand, while a menu is reproduced or in a case that a screen button is displayed in accordance with the reproduction, the reproduction operation is prohibited, and even if the reproduced screen is instructed with the controller, the operation panel is not displayed.

Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for gesture recognition are disclosed for audio control. The gestures can be used for audio control in virtualized environments. The audio control can include generating a sound that mimics an effect of a modification of a sound wave that would occur if the gesture were performed in a non-virtualized environment.

A mobile terminal is provided including a touchscreen and a controller. The controller is configured to display, on the touchscreen, a moving picture and a subset of a plurality of key frame pictures for the moving picture.

A first video preview corresponding to a first video program is played back. When it is time to transition from playing back the first video preview to playing back a second video preview corresponding to a second video program, the transition is made from playing back the first video preview to playing back the second video preview. The transition can be made by sliding the first video preview off a display while sliding the second video preview onto the display. Additionally, metadata associated with the first video program can be displayed for an amount of time before playback of the first video preview ceases, and metadata associated with the second video program can be displayed for an amount of time after playback of the second video preview begins.

A program causing hardware to act as a unit is simplified without increasing a processing load on the hardware, the unit receiving operation to update display of information and instructing to update the display of the information, the display of the information being displayed on a display unit. In case that a key processor instructs to update display information, an information access processor instructs an information storage to update the display information, and instructs the display processor to update the display of the information. The information storage updates the display information stored therein on a basis of the instruction to update the display information by the information access processor. The display processor causes the display unit to display the information based on the display information updated by the information storage, in case that the information access processor instructs to update the display of the information.

A device and method are presently disclosed. The computer implemented method, includes at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, displaying a still image on the touch-sensitive display, while displaying the still image, detecting user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display, and in response to detecting the user's finger contact, video recording the still image.
