CORKSCREW USER INTERFACE LINKING CONTENT AND CURATORS

摘要

A user interface (UI) links additional content and curators of videos by connecting dots with lines to show the connections. The lines can fade out as to not busy the interface. Content may be linked using sidebars, icons, tabs, buttons. When lines are used, lines are depicted on the UI connecting a first video icon to icons of other linked videos or curators that have connections to the first video. When a content icon is selected, a connection opens a new “circle” of content on the UI which can then have connections from the selected content. In this way a user can discover new content that has relevancy to what the user is currently viewing. The lines can time out to clean up the look of the UI. When navigating or swiping the screen the lines can reappear.
