20100162120 | Digital Media Player User Interface - A user interface of a digital media player is disclosed. In one embodiment, a digital media player comprises a memory storing a plurality of channels of digital media files and a plurality of background animation files, wherein each channel is associated with a respective background animation file. The digital media player receives a user selection of a channel, displays a channel name of the selected channel, and plays the background animation file associated with the selected channel. In another embodiment, the digital media player receives a user selection of a channel, displays a channel name of the selected channel, and displays a visual representation of the plurality of channels, wherein a first indicia is used to represent the selected channel and a second indicia is used to represent the other channels. | 06-24-2010 |
20110090249 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF GRAPHIC ARTWORK TO BE PRESENTED DURING DISPLAYING, PLAYING OR BROWSING OF MEDIA FILES - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for automatic generation of graphic artwork to be presented by a device during playing or browsing of a media file by the device are provided. One method includes providing, via a computer or mobile device, a user interface through which a user can select a media file for which graphic artwork is to be generated and initiate automatic graphic artwork generation for the media file. The method further includes providing access to a media file graphic artwork generator via the computer or mobile device, where the media file graphic artwork generator, in response to user selection of the media file and the initiation of the media file artwork generation, automatically selects a plurality of images from at least one group of images, varies parameters of at least some of the images, and combines the images to form a graphic artwork file. At least one of the image selecting, the image parameter varying, and the image combining is performed using an algorithm structured to produce varying output in successive iterations of the algorithm invoked with the same input. The media file graphic artwork generator associates the graphic artwork file with the media file for display when the media file is browsed, displayed or played. | 04-21-2011 |

20100288661 | STACKING TYPE TRAY AND TRAY DEVELOPING MECHANISM AND STACKING TYPE TRAY DEVELOPING SYSTEM - To develop optical discs stored while being stacked and to load them to a plurality of recording/reproducing devices simultaneously. Trays for mounting optical discs are stacked to configure an optical disc transportation body, and the portions being exposed without overlapping when the stacked trays are viewed from the stacking direction are utilized as tray operation portions for handling. Supporting portions abutting against the tray operation portions inherent to respective trays in one to one correspondence are fixed with an interval in the vertical direction to the frames configuring a tray distributing/holding portion. The tray operation portion of each tray is held by the supporting portion at each position by moving the optical disc transportation body downward along the frames, and intervals corresponding to the arrangement pitch of recording/reproducing devices are formed between respective trays. | 11-18-2010 |
