Abstract

A content delivery system includes: a background provider configured to provide a background interface; a pane provider module, coupled to the background provider module, configured to provide a pane interface having a non-horizontal slant side overlapping the background interface; and a menu provider module, coupled to the pane provider module, configured to provide a menu interface having a slant menu side overlapping the non-horizontal slant side of the pane interface creating a blade non-right angle for displaying on a device.

Claims

1. A content delivery system comprising:

a background provider module configured to provide a background interface;

a pane provider module, coupled to the background provider module, configured to provide a pane interface having a non-horizontal slant side overlapping the background interface; and

a menu provider module, coupled to the pane provider module, configured to provide a menu interface having a slant menu side overlapping the non-horizontal slant side of the pane interface creating a blade non-right angle for displaying on a device.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the pane provider module is configured to provide the pane interface having a pane dimension different from another instance of the pane interface based on a content priority of a content type displayed on the pane interface.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising an icon provider module, coupled to the pane provider module, configured to provide a feature icon on the menu interface based on an icon priority of the feature icon.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the pane provider module is configured to provide the pane interface overlapping along the non-horizontal slant side of another instance of the pane interface.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a pane modifier module, coupled to the menu provider module, configured to modify a pane dimension of the pane interface based on a gesture type for providing a content preview.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a group module, coupled to the menu provider module, configured to generate an interface group based on grouping the background interface, the pane interface, the menu interface for displaying on the device.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising a pane modifier module, coupled to the menu provider module, configured to modify the pane interface arranged from a stack mode to an expand mode or vice versa based on a gesture type.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising a group module, coupled to the menu provider module, configured to generate an interface group based on grouping the background interface, the pane interface, the menu interface, or a combination thereof having an interface relationship.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising a presenter module, coupled to the menu provider module, configured to change a pane dimension of the pane interface based on a context for displaying the pane interface on the device.

10. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the menu provider module is configured to provide a headline menu for displaying a feature icon based on an activity record.

12. The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein generating the interface group includes generating the interface group based on an interface relationship for associating a child interface with a parent interface.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein modifying the blade dimension includes modifying a pane dimension of a pane interface based on the gesture type for providing a content preview.

14. The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein modifying the blade dimension includes modifying a pane interface arranged from a stack mode to an expand mode or vice versa based on the gesture type.

15. The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein modifying the blade dimension includes modifying a menu dimension of a menu interface based on the gesture type for overlapping a pane interface, a background interface, or a combination thereof.

11. A method of operation of a content delivery system comprising:

receiving a gesture type on a blade interface;

generating an interface group based on an interface type of the blade interface; and

modifying a blade dimension of the blade interface based on the gesture type with a control unit for displaying on a device.

16. A content delivery system including an user interface comprising:

a background interface;

a pane interface having a non-horizontal slant side overlapping the background interface; and

a menu interface having a slant menu side overlapping the non-horizontal slant side of the pane interface creating a blade non-right angle for displaying on a device.

17. The user interface as claimed in claim 16 wherein the pane interface includes the pane interface overlapping along the non-horizontal slant side of another instance of the pane interface.

18. The user interface as claimed in claim 16 wherein the pane interface includes a content preview of the pane interface overlapping another instance of the pane interface unmodified by a gesture type.

19. The user interface as claimed in claim 16 wherein the pane interface includes a pane dimension of the pane interface extending from a top extent to a bottom extent of a display interface of the device.

20. The user interface as claimed in claim 16 wherein the menu interface includes a headline menu for displaying a feature icon based on an activity record.
