PANORAMIC GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A media-playing device, comprising:
- a display to present a panoramic graphical user interface, the display having a first dimension along a first axis and a second dimension along a second axis, the panoramic graphical user interface comprising;
a contiguous background of one or more space-orientating graphical elements, the contiguous background sized to fit within the first dimension of the display and sized to extend beyond the second dimension of the display; and
a collection of mixed-media content objects anchored over the contiguous background, the collection of mixed-media content objects arranged to fit within the first dimension of the display and arranged to extend beyond the second dimension of the display; and
an input subsystem to translate user input into commands for controlling at least the panoramic graphical user interface, such commands including a pan command for moving the contiguous background and collection of mixed-media content objects along the second axis so as to change which portions of the contiguous background and which portions of the collection of mixed-media content objects are presented by the display.

Abstract
A panoramic graphical user interface includes a contiguous background and a collection of mixed-media content objects. The contiguous background includes one or more space-orientating graphical elements and is sized to fit within a first dimension of a display and to extend beyond a second dimension of the display. The collection of mixed-media content objects are anchored over the contiguous background. The collection of mixed-media content objects are arranged to fit within the first dimension of the display and arranged to extend beyond the second dimension of the display

13. A media-playing device, comprising:
-
a display to present a fixed-height, horizontally-panable panoramic graphical user interface, the panoramic graphical user interface comprising; a contiguous background of one or more space-orientating graphical elements; and a collection of mixed-media content objects anchored over the contiguous background; and an input subsystem to translate user input into commands for controlling at least the panoramic graphical user interface, such commands including a pan command for horizontally-panning the contiguous background and collection of mixed-media content objects so as to change which portions of the contiguous background and which portions of the collection of mixed-media content objects are presented by the display. - View Dependent Claims (14)

- 15. A memory holding instructions that, when executed by a logic subsystem, instantiate a fixed-height panoramic graphical user interface including a contiguous background of one or more space-orientating graphical elements, and a collection of mixed-media content objects anchored over the contiguous background, the memory further holding instructions that, when executed by the logic subsystem, translate user input into commands for controlling at least the panoramic graphical user interface, such commands including a pan command for moving the contiguous background and collection of mixed-media content objects along a horizontal axis so as to change which portions of the contiguous background and which portions of the collection of mixed-media content objects are presented by a display.
