User interface systems and methods

摘要

A configurable graphic user interface (GUI) 705 for audio/video (AN) data is associated with a data descriptor engine 710 coupled to the AN file system 715 containing the A/V data. A type of user interfacing to the GUI 705 is identified. A display generator 720 accesses the A/V file system 715 and generates a display of the AN data dependent upon the type of user. A menu constructor 725 generates user selectable options/features to be displayed in the GUI 705, the options/features displayed being dependent upon the type of user. A manipulation engine 730 receives user input and determines operations to be performed, the determination being based upon the type of user.
