09749693 · 2017-08-29 · ·

Methods and systems are disclosed that allow a user to efficiently navigate media selections in an interactive media guidance application and easily identify media for viewing. The disclosed methods and systems provide an environment wherein video assets are displayed according to a user preference on a mosaic page with multiple cells. A subset of the assets appropriate for display in a particular cell is determined based on the user preference. Relevance scores of the assets meeting the user preference are computed, and the asset having the greatest relevance for the user is selected and displayed the corresponding cell. The relevance scores can be computed based on the user's historic viewing habits, user interaction with a media guidance application, or on specific user input.

Display device and content providing method thereof

The disclosure provides a display device and a content providing method thereof. The content providing method of the display device includes: displaying a list including a plurality of web pages pre-selected by a user; and displaying, in case that a user command for selecting one of the plurality of web pages is input, a reconstructed content obtained by reconstructing the selected web page based on a type of the selected web page.

DISPLAY APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
20170245001 · 2017-08-24 ·

A display apparatus is provided, including: a display; a signal receiver configured to receive a broadcast signal; an input comprising input circuitry including a channel changing key and configured to receive an input; and at least one processor configured to display an image of a first channel among a plurality of channels of the received broadcast signal on the display, and to switch from the first channel to another channel in response to a channel changing command input through the input while the image of the first channel is displayed, the at least one processor configured to process a user interface (UI) for guiding a second channel to be selectable to be displayed on the display if the channel changing key is input more than a predetermined number of times for a preset first time.

Display apparatus, image processing apparatus and control method for selecting and displaying related image content of primary image content
09743128 · 2017-08-22 · ·

There is provided an image processing apparatus which comprises a receiver which receives primary image content; a communicator which communicates with at least one supply source which supplies related image content of the primary image content; a signal processor which processes and outputs the primary image content; and a controller which controls the communicator to request the supply source to supply the related image content, and controls the signal processor to process and play the related image content supplied from the supply source in response to the request if a user selects a key to play the related image content of the primary image content while the primary image content received by the receiver is processed by the signal processor.

ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF APPLICATION DATA DISPLAY THEREFOR
20170235435 · 2017-08-17 ·

An electronic device and a method of application data display therefor are provided. The electronic device includes a transceiver, a display, and one or more processor. The one or more processor may receive, from an external device, an application display request for displaying a window for an application associated with the external device, determine, upon reception of the application display request, a designated region of the screen to be used for a window presenting a mirrored screen image of the application, and display at least one application window in the remaining region of the screen identified after determining the region for a mirrored screen image.

Dynamic display layout
09736395 · 2017-08-15 · ·

A method for obtaining a dynamic display layout on a display area having at least one sub-area defined thereon. The method having the steps of receiving video image data from a video data source; evaluating a rule associated with each sub-area as applied to a property of the received video image data or the video data source; if the evaluating results in acceptance of the video image data by one of the sub-areas, assigning the video image data to the one sub-area; otherwise, allocating an additional sub-area on the display area, and assigning the video image data to the additional sub-area. Additionally, each sub-area is allocated according to properties of the video image data assigned to it or of the video data source from which the respective video image data is received. A corresponding video processing system, a corresponding controller, and corresponding software are also disclosed.

Real-time scrubbing of videos using a two-dimensional grid of thumbnail images

A computer-implemented method for traversing a video file includes populating a two-dimensional array with representative images corresponding to a portion of the video and causing the two-dimensional array to be displayed. The two-dimensional array includes a location indicator configured to traverse the two-dimensional array in a direction parallel with one dimension of the two-dimensional array in response to navigation information associated with the portion of the video. The location indicator is further configured to indicate a position in the video by highlighting one of the representative images populating the two-dimensional array. Because an end-user is provided with a large set of statically displayed representative images during navigation of a video timeline, the end-user can visually identify a desired target scene, even when traversing a the timeline relatively quickly.

Media player in quick menu

A media player in quick menu provides a user with easy access to control content. The media player in the quick menu enables a user to perform operations on the currently watched programming. The media player in the quick menu also provides the user with supplemental information and accessibility to additional content.
