1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a device, data associated with a multimedia timeline, wherein the multimedia timeline corresponds to a life event;
generating a first view to display a first portion of the multimedia timeline in a first timeline format at a display device, the first view corresponding to a first time period, wherein the first view includes a first selectable record icon;
receiving a first audio annotation by activating a microphone in response to a selection of the first selectable record icon;
associating the first audio annotation with the first portion of the multimedia timeline;
in response to receiving a command to modify the first view via a rotary selector of a remote control device, generating a second view to display a second portion of the multimedia timeline in a second timeline format at the display device, the second view corresponding to a second time period, wherein the second view includes a second selectable record icon;
receiving a second audio annotation by activating the microphone in response to a selection of the second selectable record icon; and
associating the second audio annotation with the second portion of the multimedia timeline, wherein the second time period is broadened with respect to the first time period when the command corresponds to the rotary selector being rotated in a first direction, and wherein the second time period is narrowed with respect to the first time period when the command corresponds to the rotary selector being rotated in a second direction.

15. A computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, comprising:
-
generating a graphical user interface including a plurality of selectable indicators associated with a multimedia timeline, wherein the multimedia timeline corresponds to a life event; displaying a data object of the multimedia timeline in a display window in response to a selection of at least one of the plurality of selectable indicators, wherein the display window includes a first selectable record icon; receiving a first audio annotation by activating a microphone in response to a selection of the first selectable record icon; associating the first audio annotation with the data object; modifying a first view that displays a first portion of the multimedia timeline to a second view that displays a second portion of the multimedia timeline, wherein the first view is modified in response to receiving a command to modify the first view via a rotary selector of a remote control device, wherein the first view corresponds to a first time period and includes a second selectable record icon, and wherein the second view corresponds to a second time period and includes a third selectable record icon; receiving a second audio annotation by activating the microphone in response to a selection of the second selectable record icon; associating the second audio annotation with the first portion of the multimedia timeline; receiving a third audio annotation by activating the microphone in response to a selection of the third selectable record icon; and associating the third audio annotation with the second portion of the multimedia timeline, wherein the second time period is broadened with respect to the first time period when the command corresponds to the rotary selector being rotated in a first direction, and wherein the second time period is narrowed with respect to the first time period when the command corresponds to the rotary selector being rotated in a second direction. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A computer readable computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving data associated with a multimedia timeline, wherein the multimedia timeline corresponds to a life event; generating a plurality of selectable indicators associated with the multimedia timeline to be displayed at a display device; providing a plurality of thumbnails of the multimedia timeline to display at the display device, wherein each of the plurality of thumbnails corresponds to a data object associated with one of the plurality of selectable indicators, wherein each thumbnail of the plurality of thumbnails is displayed proximate to a selectable indicator that is associated with a corresponding data object; modifying a first view that displays a first portion of the multimedia timeline to a second view that displays a second portion of the multimedia timeline, wherein the first view is modified to the second view in response to receiving a command to modify the first view via a rotary selector of a remote control device, wherein the first view corresponds to a first time period and includes a first selectable record icon, and wherein the second view corresponds to a second time period and includes a second selectable record icon; receiving a first audio annotation by activating a microphone in response to a selection of the first selectable record icon; associating the first audio annotation with the first portion of the multimedia timeline; receiving a second audio annotation by activating the microphone in response to a selection of the second selectable record icon; and associating the second audio annotation with the second portion of the multimedia timeline, wherein the second time period is broadened with respect to the first time period when the command corresponds to the rotary selector being rotated in a first direction, and wherein the second time period is narrowed with respect to the first time period when the command corresponds to the rotary selector being rotated in a second direction. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)
