  • Patent number: 12574597
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating a super-interface that aggregates content identifiers from different content sources. A super-interface is generated for display. The super-interface comprises a first interface that comprises a first plurality of content items available from a first content source and a second interface that comprises a second plurality of content items available from a second content source. The second content source is different from the first content source. The first interface and the second interface are simultaneously accessible to a first device. A user preference is detected based on a user interaction with the first interface. The second interface is automatically updated to comprise identifiers of a third plurality of content items that are available from the second content source. The third plurality of content items is selected based on the detected user preference from the user interaction with the first interface.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220159345
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating a super-interface that aggregates content identifiers from different content sources. A super-interface is defined. A first and second content source are selected for the super-interface. A first display configuration is selected for a first interface assigned to the first content source. A second display configuration is selected for a second interface assigned to the second content source. The super-interface is selected at a first device. In response, the first interface and the second interface are generated for display at the first device. The first interface comprises identifiers of content items available from the first content source. The second interface comprises identifiers of content items available from the second content source. The first interface and the second interface are simultaneously accessible. The first interface is displayed in the first display configuration and the second interface is displayed in the second display configuration.
