摘要

In the present invention, the means of control and navigation 100 of an electronic device 108 are used for viewing an embodiment of a video, wherein said embodiment is a cached or stored “poster-view” 1 that is a representation and a version of a source video. Said poster-view 1 has integration with the content of said source video. This method implements the use of means of control and navigation 100 of said electronic device 108 to extend the contents of said poster-view 1 from an initial form 4 to an extended form 3 and from said extended form 3, retract the contents of the poster-view to said initial form 4, within the spatial bounds of the poster-view.
