Method and system for providing a user interface for accessing multimedia items on an electronic device

摘要

A system and method for providing a user interface for accessing multimedia items using an electronic device determines a set of first level categories based on multimedia items associated with the electronic device. The system determines second level category graphics and first level category graphics corresponding to the set of first level categories. The first level category graphics are generated based on one or more of the second level category graphics associated with the first level category. The system then displays a first view that comprises some or all of the first level category graphics. In response to a user input selecting a particular first level category graphic, the system shows a second view that simultaneously displays first level category graphics and second level category graphics associated with the selected first level category. In response to a user input selecting a second level category, the system then displays information relating to a multimedia item associated with the selected second level category.
