Method and apparatus for managing digital media content
First Claim
1. A method for accessing and managing digital media libraries on a streamlined computing device with a plurality of selectable I/O profiles, the method comprising:
- displaying a graphical user interface on a computing device, wherein the graphical user interface comprises at least a plurality of views of digital media content;
providing for transition between the plurality of views in response to selection of an I/O profile;
providing for transition between the plurality of views in response to activation of a view selector component configured to permit a user to select one of the plurality of views;
associating at least one of a plurality of visual representations with digital media content;
executing the association with the at least one of the plurality of visual representations with digital media content in response to selection;
transitioning a display on the computing device to a view of the digital media content in response to the act of executing the association; and
providing for display of user digital media content and referenced digital media content in the view of the digital media content wherein the act of providing for transition between the plurality of views in response to selection of an I/O profile includes;
permitting the user to rotate a display component about a longitudinal axis running along an interface between the display component and a base of the streamlined computing device;
wherein rotating the display component about the longitudinal axis up to approximately 180 degrees from a closed mode configures the streamlined computing device into a laptop mode with one of the plurality of views as a default display; and
wherein rotating the display component about the longitudinal axis beyond approximately 180 degrees from the closed mode configures the streamlined computing device into an easel mode with another one of the plurality of views as a default display.

Abstract
Various aspects and embodiments are directed to a streamlined computer device and a graphical user interface that organizes interface elements into views of computer content for presentation to a user. Various views of digital media content permits users to easily and efficiently access various digital media content. Different views are used to provide an interface that is responsive to configurations of the device and responsive to activity being performed by the user. Aspects include permitting the user to maintain and manage digital media content libraries. According to some embodiments, the libraries comprise user digital media content and references digital media content. Functionality provided to a user can be tailored to the type of content displayed, accessed and/or managed. According to various aspects, methods and systems are provided for accessing and managing digital media libraries on a streamlined computing device with a plurality selectable I/O profiles.
