Abstract

A method for displaying data is disclosed. The method may include displaying an application on a mobile electronic communication device. The method may further include contacting at least one media server configured to store media data and receiving, at the mobile electronic communication device, first available media data from the at least one media server. The method may further include displaying the received available media data in a media stream within the application. The method may also include contacting, after a predetermined amount of time, the at least one media server and receiving, in response to the contacting, at the mobile electronic communication device, second available media data from the at least one media server. The method may further include displaying the second available media data in the media stream.

Claims

1. A method for displaying data, the method comprising:

displaying an application comprising application data on an electronic device;

receiving first media data from at least one server;

displaying first media data in a media stream within the application;

receiving second media data from the at least one server; and

displaying second media data in the media stream,

wherein the electronic device is configured to permit simultaneous access to the first available media data, the second available media data, and the application data.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

resizing the application data when a user interacts with at least one of the first media data or the second media data.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying content related to the first media data in a window after a user interacts with the first media data.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the window obscures at least part of the application data.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

opening a second application after the user interacts with the first media data; and

displaying second application data related to the second application and the first media data.

6. The method of claim 5, the application is suspended during display of the second application data.

7. The method of claim 5, the electronic device is configured such that the user can interact with both the second application data and the application data.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first media data and the second media data corresponds to a media network based on a third party'"'"'s subscription to the media network.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first media data and the second media data corresponds to a media category selected by a user.
