20100231536 | Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Moving a Current Position in Content at a Variable Scrubbing Rate - A method is performed by an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface. The method includes, while providing content with the electronic device: displaying a progress icon; detecting a contact with the touch-sensitive surface, movement of the contact, and a pause in movement; after determining positions of two detailed scrubbing boundaries, detecting movement of the contact, including detecting a scrubbing component of movement, wherein the scrubbing component corresponds to an uncompensated scrubbing distance; and, in response: when the uncompensated scrubbing distance corresponds to a position between the two detailed scrubbing boundaries and between two endpoints of a predefined path, moving the progress icon by a distance less than the uncompensated scrubbing distance; and when the uncompensated scrubbing distance corresponds to a position outside the two detailed scrubbing boundaries and between the two endpoints, moving the progress icon by a distance equal to the uncompensated scrubbing distance. | 09-16-2010 |
20100231537 | Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Moving a Current Position in Content at a Variable Scrubbing Rate - A method is performed by an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface. The method includes: displaying a progress icon that indicates a current position within a first piece of content; displaying a multi-purpose content navigation icon; while providing the first piece of content: detecting a first contact at a first location that corresponds to the multi-purpose content navigation icon; while continuing to detect the contact at the first location, moving the current position within the first piece of content at a predefined scrubbing rate; and, in response to detecting movement of the contact that includes a first component of movement in a direction that corresponds to movement on the display parallel to the first predefined direction, moving the current position within the first piece of content at a variable scrubbing rate that varies monotonically as the first component of movement increases. | 09-16-2010 |
20130346478 | UNIFIED PLAYBACK POSITION - Improved techniques for interacting with media content so as to provide a unified experience of media content across different client devices in a client-server environment are disclosed. Media content may be displayed on first display of a first client device. Using a server computer, a status of the media content may be communicated from the first client device to a second client device. The media content may be displayed on a second display of the second client device, in accordance with the status of the media content from the first client device. | 12-26-2013 |
20140059434 | Video Manager for Portable Multifunction Device - A video player for a portable multifunction device is disclosed. In some embodiments, a list of video items is displayed in a portrait orientation of a touch screen display of a portable electronic device. Upon user selection of a respective video item in the list, the user selected video item is automatically displayed in a landscape orientation of the touch screen display. | 02-27-2014 |
20140068483 | Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface Supporting User Navigations of Graphical Objects on a Touch Screen Display - A portable multifunction device displays a first user interface object and a second user interface object on a touch screen display. Upon detecting a finger-down event at the first user interface object and one or more finger-dragging events on the touch screen display, the device moves the first user interface object on the touch screen display along a path determined by the finger-dragging events until the first user interface object at least in part overlaps the second user interface object. Upon detecting a finger-up event at the second user interface object, the device visually replaces the second user interface object with the first user interface object. | 03-06-2014 |
20140282755 | MEDIA PLAYBACK ACROSS MULTIPLE DEVICES - Pausing and resuming playback of a media item across a group of devices that belong to a user. A server maintains a media queue that includes playback records that contain a unique media item identifier and a bookmark position. When a pause instruction is received on a client device, the pause instruction is transmitted to the server as a playback record. The server in turn transmits the received playback record to other client devices within a group of client devices that belong to the user account of the client device. | 09-18-2014 |
20140327629 | Touch Screen Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Customizing Display of Content Category Icons - A computer-implemented method for use in conjunction with a computing device with a touch screen display comprises: detecting one or more finger contacts with the touch screen display, applying one or more heuristics to the one or more finger contacts to determine a command for the device, and processing the command. The one or more heuristics comprise: a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a one-dimensional vertical screen scrolling command, a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a two-dimensional screen translation command, and a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to transition from displaying a respective item in a set of items to displaying a next item in the set of items. | 11-06-2014 |
