Time-based media navigation system
First Claim
1. A system for navigating primary media and meta-data on a computer system, comprising means for accessing primary media from a primary media source;
- means for accessing meta-data from a meta-data source; and
means for generating a graphical user interface (GUI) for providing interaction between a user and the system in relation to the primary media, the GUI including means for facilitating control of the primary media currently being played, and means for displaying a multidimensional graphical representation for depicting a timeline for indicating the current location of the primary media being played relative to a reference location in the primary media, and providing information relating to the meta-data associated with the primary media at the current location.

Abstract
As system for navigating primary media and meta-data on a computer system is described. The system involves accessing primary media from a primary media source, and accessing meta-data from a meta-data source. The system also involves generating a graphical user interface (GUI) for providing interaction between a user and the system in relation to the primary media. The GUI includes means for facilitating control of the primary media currently being played, and means for displaying a multidimensional graphical representation for depicting a timeline for indicating the current location of the primary media being played relative to a reference location in the primary media, and providing information relating to the meta-data associated with the primary media at the current location.
