  • Patent number: 9880702
    Abstract: In one example, a content navigation interface apparatus includes display logic for displaying selections for accessing a first entry of a content structure and a second entry of the content structure, wherein the second entry is a sub-entry of the first entry. The apparatus further including selection logic for determining the second entry for display based on a user characteristic (e.g., history, user profile, etc.). The first entry may be associated with a first level of a hierarchical content structure, and the second entry associated with a second level of the hierarchical content structure. In one example, the first entry is associated with a broad content category and the second entry associated with content, such as a media object.

  • Publication number: 20070186173
    Abstract: An exemplary interface apparatus having navigation logic for navigating multiple instant messaging conversations is described. The navigation logic includes display logic for displaying indicia associated with at least two conversations, selection logic for initiating the display of a conversation associated with each of the indicia in response to a selection thereof, wherein the conversation associated with each indicia is displayed in a common window, and navigation logic for navigating between two conversations within the common window. In one example, the indicia are associated with active instant messaging conversations (e.g., in which the user is engaged). Further, the conversations may be displayed mutually exclusively within the common window.
