Publication number: 20210149942Abstract: The content items presented to a user account as part of a media station can be recorded in a content history index, which can be requested and presented to the user account. The content history can enable a user to revisit the content items included in the content history and/or provide feedback regarding the content items. The version of the content item returned to the user can be based on the client device used to request the content item. For example, a user that was presented a content item on their mobile device, can later request to revisit the content item on their PC and receive a version of the content item best suited for presentation by the PC, rather than the version presented on the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2020Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: Thomas Alsina, Kenley Sun, David T.

Publication number: 20160277785Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing multi-screen video user interfaces. A handheld device is used to search for content to be displayed on a television. The handheld device presents data according to a first user interface, and while searching for content, any changes to the navigation state of the handheld device are sent to the television. The television receives an update and reformats the data according to a second user interface optimized for displaying the data on the television. The first user interface is native to the handheld device and the second user interface is native to the television. The user of the handheld device is able to utilize a familiar format while searching for content while viewers of the television are able to see the same navigation state as the handheld device but in a familiar format on the television.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2016Publication date: September 22, 2016Inventors: Lucas C.

Publication number: 20140244600Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and computer-readable media for managing duplicate media items. The system first analyzes a first file from a first source, wherein the first file is a duplicate of a second file. Next, the system deduplicates the first file and the second file to yield a deduplicated file. The system then selects metadata associated with at least one of the first file or the second file to be assigned as metadata for the deduplicated file, the metadata being selected based on a priority preference.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2013Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: Apple IncInventors: Edward Thomas Schmidt, Nicholas James Paulson
