Abstract: One example method for navigating a scrollable user interface includes outputting to a display device the scrollable user interface, the scrollable user interface including a scroll-control target. The method further includes receiving a pointer input, and moving a position of a virtual pointer on the scrollable user interface responsive to the pointer input. Responsive to the virtual pointer being within a first region of the scroll-control target, the scrollable user interface is scrolled at a first speed. Responsive to the virtual pointer being within a second region of the scroll-control target, the scrollable user interface is scrolled at a second speed, faster than the first speed.

Abstract: Modifying the behavior of a multimedia transport system in response to a detected capability of a client system. A client system may include the capability to perform portions of a multimedia manipulation function, such as a VCR-like function, by using components solely included in the client system. A client system may also include the capability to simultaneously receive multimedia content in excess of what the client system my essentially simultaneously output. This capability may be used to improve the bandwidth utilization of the multimedia server. This may be a result of components, such as a mass storage device or multiple signal input interfaces, being included in the client system. If a client system includes such capabilities, the underlying executable instructions associated with an input device, such as a remote control or keyboard, may be modified to utilize the detected capability.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a media device 102 may share a selected media element 108 based on minimal user input. A user input 260 may receive a generic action input 110 from a user. A processor 220 may execute an implicit media selection of a selected media element 108 from a multimedia layout 106 having multiple media element candidates displayed by a source media display application 104.

Abstract: A graphical user interface is output for presentation by a graphical display device. The graphical user interface includes visual aspects of a time-based media content item having a playback axis, and a seek bar having a position along the playback axis. The position of the seek bar along the playback axis indicates a current playback position of the time-based media content item. The seek bar extends perpendicular to the playback axis over the visual aspects of the time-based media content item. A drag command representing a user input directed at the seek bar is received. The drag command is characterized by a drag path. The current playback position of the time-based media content item is moved based on the drag path.
