Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can display a collection of media content items. A pressure-based user interaction is received via a graphical user interaction, the pressure-based user interaction identifying a first media content item of the collection of media content items. A preview pane displaying the first media content item is displayed in response to the pressure-based user interaction. A position-based user interaction is received via the graphical user interface. A second media content item is displayed in the preview pane in response to the position-based user interaction.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

displaying, by a computing system, a collection of media content items;

receiving, by the computing system, a pressure-based user interaction via a graphical user interface, the pressure-based user interaction identifying a first media content item of the collection of media content items;

displaying, by the computing system, a preview pane displaying the first media content item in response to the pressure-based user interaction;

receiving, by the computing system, a position-based user interaction via the graphical user interface; and

displaying, by the computing system, a second media content item in the preview pane in response to the position-based user interaction.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the pressure-based user interaction satisfies a first pressure threshold.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, further comprising:

receiving an indication that the pressure-based user interaction no longer satisfies the first pressure threshold; and

ceasing display of the preview pane.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, further comprising:

receiving a second pressure-based user interaction that satisfies a second pressure threshold; and

displaying a stand-alone view of the second media content item in response to the second pressure-based user interaction satisfying the second pressure threshold.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the second media content is displayed in the preview pane in response to the position-based user interaction and continued receipt of the pressure-based user interaction.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the position-based user interaction comprises a change in position of the pressure-based user interaction.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6, wherein

the pressure-based user interaction satisfies a pressure threshold, and

the position-based user interaction comprises a change in position of the pressure-based user interaction while the pressure-based user interaction continues to satisfy the pressure threshold.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein

the position-based user interaction comprises a change in position of the pressure-based user interaction, and

the displaying the second media content item in the preview pane occurs in response to the change in position of the pressure-based user interaction satisfying a distance threshold.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8, wherein the distance threshold is calculated based on a number of media content items in the collection of media content items.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein

the second media content item comprises a video media content item, and

the displaying the second media content item in the preview pane comprises playing the video media content item in the preview pane.

11. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform a method comprising;

displaying a collection of media content items;

receiving a pressure-based user interaction via a graphical user interface, the pressure-based user interaction identifying a first media content item of the collection of media content items;

displaying a preview pane displaying the first media content item in response to the pressure-based user interaction;

receiving a position-based user interaction via the graphical user interface; and

displaying a second media content item in the preview pane in response to the position-based user interaction.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the pressure-based user interaction satisfies a first pressure threshold.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the method further comprises:

receiving an indication that the pressure-based user interaction no longer satisfies the first pressure threshold; and

ceasing display of the preview pane.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a second pressure-based user interaction that satisfies a second pressure threshold; and

displaying a stand-alone view of the second media content item in response to the second pressure-based user interaction satisfying the second pressure threshold.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the second media content is displayed in the preview pane in response to the position-based user interaction and continued receipt of the pressure-based user interaction.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

displaying a collection of media content items;

receiving a pressure-based user interaction via a graphical user interface, the pressure-based user interaction identifying a first media content item of the collection of media content items;

displaying a preview pane displaying the first media content item in response to the pressure-based user interaction;

receiving a position-based user interaction via the graphical user interface; and

displaying a second media content item in the preview pane in response to the position-based user interaction.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the pressure-based user interaction satisfies a first pressure threshold.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the method further comprises:

receiving an indication that the pressure-based user interaction no longer satisfies the first pressure threshold; and

ceasing display of the preview pane.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a second pressure-based user interaction that satisfies a second pressure threshold; and

displaying a stand-alone view of the second media content item in response to the second pressure-based user interaction satisfying the second pressure threshold.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the second media content is displayed in the preview pane in response to the position-based user interaction and continued receipt of the pressure-based user interaction.
