Adaptive intervals in navigating content and/or media

摘要

The present embodiments provide methods and apparatuses for use in navigating through content. Some embodiments provide methods for use in navigating through content that receive an initial first directional control command, activate a seek mode upon receipt of the initial first directional control command comprising advancing over a first amount of content in a first direction from a first point in the content to a second point in the content, receive an initial second directional control command following the receipt of the initial first directional command, and activate a search mode upon receipt of the initial second directional control command, comprising advancing back over a second amount of the first amount of the content where the second amount is less than the first amount of the content.

主权项

1. A method for use in navigating through content, comprising:
receiving a first directional control command; upon receipt of the first directional control command, advancing through the content by a first amount of the content in a first direction; receiving a second directional control command following the receipt of the first directional command; calculating, using a microprocessor, a second amount of the content that is less than the first amount of the content using a mathematical function that utilizes information regarding the first amount of the content; and upon receipt of the second directional control command, advancing through the content by the second amount of the content in a second direction.
