NAVIGATING AUDIO CONTENT AND SELECTING PORTIONS THEREOF USING CIRCULAR DIAL ON USER INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A consumer electronics (CE) device comprising:
- a transceiver configured for receiving a network podcast;
a processor configured for receiving podcast data from the transceiver;
a display configured for being controlled by the processor; and
a computer readable storage medium bearing instructions which when executed by the processor configure the processor for;
presenting on the display a podcast user interface (UI) configured with a circular tracking clock for enabling a user of the CE device to access a beginning of any portion of a segment of the podcast easily and quickly to playback the podcast from the beginning of the portion, the tracking clock defining a closed circular periphery against which a user can move a finger to move forward and backward in time through the podcast.

Abstract
A consumer electronics (CE) device includes a transceiver configured for receiving a network podcast, a processor configured for receiving podcast data from the transceiver, and a display configured for being controlled by the processor. Additionally, the CE device includes a computer readable storage medium bearing instructions which when executed by the processor configure the processor for presenting on the display a podcast user interface (UI) configured with a circular tracking clock for enabling a user of the CE device to access a beginning of any portion of a segment of the podcast easily and quickly to playback the podcast from the beginning of the portion. The tracking clock defines a closed circular periphery against which a user can move a finger to move forward and backward in time through the podcast.

9. A method, comprising:
-
presenting a user interface (UI) on a display of a display device, the UI including a circular dial for enabling a user of the display device to manipulate, at least partially by manipulating the dial, at least a portion of audio content presented on the display device, the dial defining a closed circular periphery against which the user can move a finger to move forward and backward within the audio content; receiving user input by manipulating the dial to manipulate the portion of audio content. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer readable storage medium that is not a carrier wave and bearing instructions which when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
-
receive input directed to a user interface (UI), the UI including a dial defining a closed circular periphery around which a user can move a finger to move forward and backward within a first audio content when creating at least a second audio content at least partially from a selected portion of the first audio content; edit the first audio content based on the user input that is received using the dial to establish the selected portion. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
