Abstract: Metadata for media content items is received. The metadata identifies a thumbnail representation of the media content items. At least some of media content items are displayed in an overview area in an EPG of a user interface. The overview area includes cells aligned in one or more rows. The cells include a subset of the metadata for a respective media content item. The subset of the metadata includes the thumbnail representations of media content items. A first media content item is displayed in a focus area in the EPG of the user interface. The focus area includes expanded metadata having a sample of the first media content item that is played as an underlay of a display of at least some other metadata of the first media content item such that playback is presented underneath the display of the other metadata of the first media content item.

Abstract: A method includes a hierarchical dataset that includes a root-data object and data collections nested under the root-data object. Each data collection includes one or more data objects, each data object associated with one or more other data collections. The method also includes displaying a hierarchical user interface on a screen. The hierarchical user interface includes column. The columns include data-object columns and data-collection columns, wherein the columns alternate between data-object columns and data-collection columns. Each data-object column displays a list of the one or more data objects of a respective data collection. Each data-collection column displays a list of the one or more data collections of a respective data object, the data-collection columns includes a root-data-collection column displaying a list of the one or more data collections associated with the root-data object.

Abstract: Metadata for media content items is received. The media content items are displayed in an overview area in an electronic program guide (EPG) of a user interface. The overview area includes cells aligned in one or more rows. Input of a selection of one of the media content items displayed at the EPG in the user interface is received. Responsive to receiving the input of the selected media content item, the selected media content item is displayed in a focus area in the EPG of the user interface. The focus area includes expanded metadata that includes a sample of the selected media content item that is played as an underlay of a display of at least some of the subset of the metadata of the selected media content item.

Abstract: Metadata for a plurality of media content items is received. The metadata identifies a thumbnail representation of each of the plurality of media content items. The plurality of media content items are displayed in an overview area in an electronic program guide (EPG) in a user interface. The overview area comprises a plurality of cells aligned in one or more rows. The plurality of cells comprise a subset of the metadata for a respective media content item. An input of a selection of one of the plurality of media content items displayed at the EPG in the user interface is received. The selected media content item is displayed in a focus area in the EPG. The focus area comprises a rectangular area that is located near the overview area. The focus area comprises expanded metadata of the selected media content item for presentation in the focus area.

Abstract: A processing device receives metadata for media content items and displays cells for the media content items in an overview area in an electronic program guide (EPG). The cells include subsets of metadata for the media content items. The processing device receives a selection a media content item and moves a cell, which includes a subset of metadata for the selected media content item, from the overview area to a focus area in the EPG. In response to determining that a scheduled duration for the selected media content item does not satisfy a condition pertaining to a maximum time interval of the focus area, the processing device adjusts a timeline of the focus area based on the scheduled duration of the selected media content, and replaces the subset of metadata in the cell in the focus area with expanded metadata for the selected media content item.

Abstract: This document describes methodologies for an electronic programming guide with expanding cells for video preview. These techniques and apparatuses enable improved navigation for video and channel previewing based on gestures performed on a mobile device acting as a remote control to a remote display device. These techniques and apparatuses allow video preview of current program content over many channels with a simple and easy method to preview different channels. Further, these techniques and apparatuses can also be applied to view information regarding upcoming programs scheduled at a future time.
