Systems and methods for providing alternate views when rendering audio/video content in a computing system
First Claim
1. A user interface for a computing device having a display for use in connection with rendering a media object, comprising:
- a “
Now Playing”
state to which a user navigates to render the media object, the “
Now Playing”
state comprising a plurality of views based on the type of the media object being rendered through which a user cycles via at least one input component when deciding upon a view for rendering the media object.

Abstract
Systems and methods for transitioning between alternate views when rendering A/V content in a computing system are provided. In various embodiments, a “Now Playing” state is exposed to a user experiencing media on a media device via a user interface, wherein the “Now Playing” state has a plurality of associated “Now Playing” views. The user interface allows the user to change “Now Playing” views based on media type and, if desirable, offer quick access settings. Advantageously, when transitioning between or cycling through the “Now Playing” views, the state of the user interface remains the “Now Playing” state.
