Patent number: 9880730Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a method that includes providing a mid state, a fullscreen state, and a miniplayer state of a touchscreen user interface for presentation on a touchscreen device. The mid state presents a first video from a queue of videos and portions of a previous video or a next video from the queue of the videos. The fullscreen state expands the first video to fit the touchscreen user interface without presentation of the portions of the previous video or the next video. The miniplayer state shrinks the first video to fit a list of videos for a user account within the touchscreen user interface.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2015Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Matthew Thomas Darby, Taeho Ko, Shaun Patrick Stehly, Yoni Afek, Nicholas Michael Kruge, Kerwell Liao, Clifford Curry, Bryce Gibson Reid, Chad Anthony Sager
