Adaptive intervals in navigating content and/or media
First Claim
1. A method for providing, at a user equipment device, enhanced navigation within media content, the method comprising:
- generating for display the media content at the user equipment device;
receiving, with a processor, navigation commands from a plurality of user equipment devices, wherein each of the navigation commands reflects an interaction with the media content at each of the respective plurality of user equipment devices;
identifying, with the processor, at least a subset of the navigation commands relating to a portion of the media content;
generating, with the processor, an aggregate navigation command based on the identified subset of navigation commands;
distributing to the user equipment device, with the processor, the aggregate navigation command for use with the media content; and
applying the aggregate navigation command to the portion of the media content.

Abstract
The present embodiments provide methods and apparatuses for use in navigating through content. Some embodiments provide methods for use in navigating through content that receive an initial first directional control command, activate a seek mode upon receipt of the initial first directional control command comprising advancing over a first amount of content in a first direction from a first point in the content to a second point in the content, receive an initial second directional control command following the receipt of the initial first directional command, and activate a search mode upon receipt of the initial second directional control command, comprising advancing back over a second amount of the first amount of the content where the second amount is less than the first amount of the content.
