Three-dimensional shape user interface for media content delivery systems and methods
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- maintaining, by a media content delivery computing system comprising at least one computing device, data representative of a three-dimensional (“
3-D”
) shape model including a plurality of shape faces;
dynamically selecting, by the media content delivery computing system in accordance with a shape content selection heuristic, display content for association with at least one of the plurality of shape faces; and
utilizing, by the media content delivery computing system, the data representative of the 3-D shape model to render a graphical representation of a 3-D shape in a graphical user interface;
wherein the graphical representation of the 3-D shape displays the at least one of the plurality of shape faces containing the display content dynamically selected by the media content delivery computing system in accordance with the shape content selection heuristic.

Abstract
Exemplary three-dimensional (“3-D”) shape user interfaces for media content delivery systems and methods are disclosed. An exemplary method includes a media content delivery computing system maintaining data representative of a 3-D shape model including a plurality of shape faces, dynamically selecting, in accordance with a shape content selection heuristic, display content for association with at least one of the plurality of shape faces, and utilizing the data representative of the 3-D shape model to render a graphical representation of a 3-D shape in a graphical user interface. In some examples, the method further includes the computing system feeding the dynamically selected display content, which may include one or more video feeds, into at least one of the plurality of shape faces in real time. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

20. A system comprising:
-
a media content distribution subsystem configured to transmit a plurality of video feeds; and a media content access subsystem comprising at least one processor, the media content distribution subsystem communicatively coupled to the media content distribution subsystem and configured to maintain, in a storage device, data representative of a three-dimensional (“
3-D”
) shape model including a plurality of shape faces,receive the plurality of video feeds from the media content distribution subsystem, dynamically select, based at least in part on an end-user-configured condition specified by a shape content selection heuristic, at least one of the plurality of video feeds for association with at least one of the plurality of shape faces, utilize the data representative of the 3-D shape model to render a graphical representation of a 3-D shape in a graphical user interface, and feed the dynamically selected at least one of the plurality of video feeds into the at least one of the plurality of shape faces in real time such that the graphical representation of the 3-D shape displays the at least one of the plurality of shape faces containing the at least one of the plurality of video feeds. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
