Patent Images
1. A method of displaying video content, comprising:
- obtaining a video content record to be displayed;
determining an associated aging characteristic associated with the video content record;
determining a current age for the obtained video content record;
generating a modified video content record for display based on the determined aging characteristic and the determined current age of the obtained video content record; and
displaying the modified video content record on a display of a processor device, wherein the processor device comprises a mobile terminal and wherein determining a current age comprises obtaining a count of power cycles since a first display of the obtained video content record, obtaining a count of calls at the mobile terminal since a first display of the obtained video content record and/or determining a charge level for a battery of the mobile terminal.

Abstract
Methods of displaying video content include obtaining a video content record to be displayed and determining an associated aging characteristic associated with the video content record. A current age is determined for the obtained video content record and a modified video content record is generated for display based on the determined aging characteristic and the determined current age of the obtained video content record. The obtained video content record may be an animation, which may include audio data. The obtained video content record may also be a still image.
