  • Patent number: 12086401
    Abstract: Devices, systems and processes facilitate adaptive user progressions through content. A process includes receiving a detected first user input motion and determining, based thereon, a first progression type. The process may include executing: a slow scrub progression when input motion occurs within a first area defined by a first velocity threshold VT1 upper limit and a first array sector range AS1; executing a fast scrub progression when input motion occurs within a second area defined by a second velocity threshold VT2 upper limit and a second array sector range AS2; executing a slow swipe scrub progression when input motion occurs within a third area defined by a third velocity threshold VT3 upper limit and a third array sector range AS3; and executing a fast swipe progression when input motion occurs within a fourth area defined by a fourth velocity threshold VT4 upper limit and a fourth array sector range AS4.
