The memory card insertion and holding slots are laterally accessible through apertures in the first and second lateral edges. The first surface defines a plurality of notches adjacent to the first lateral edge for allowing removal of portable memory cards inserted in the memory card insertion and holding slots accessible via the first lateral edge. The second surface defines a plurality of notches adjacent to the second lateral edge for allowing removal of portable memory cards inserted in the memory card insertion and holding slots accessible via the second lateral edge. | 03-04-2010 |
20100162120 | Digital Media Player User Interface - A user interface of a digital media player is disclosed. In one embodiment, a digital media player comprises a memory storing a plurality of channels of digital media files and a plurality of background animation files, wherein each channel is associated with a respective background animation file. The digital media player receives a user selection of a channel, displays a channel name of the selected channel, and plays the background animation file associated with the selected channel. In another embodiment, the digital media player receives a user selection of a channel, displays a channel name of the selected channel, and displays a visual representation of the plurality of channels, wherein a first indicia is used to represent the selected channel and a second indicia is used to represent the other channels. | 06-24-2010 |
20110090249 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF GRAPHIC ARTWORK TO BE PRESENTED DURING DISPLAYING, PLAYING OR BROWSING OF MEDIA FILES - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for automatic generation of graphic artwork to be presented by a device during playing or browsing of a media file by the device are provided. One method includes providing, via a computer or mobile device, a user interface through which a user can select a media file for which graphic artwork is to be generated and initiate automatic graphic artwork generation for the media file. The method further includes providing access to a media file graphic artwork generator via the computer or mobile device, where the media file graphic artwork generator, in response to user selection of the media file and the initiation of the media file artwork generation, automatically selects a plurality of images from at least one group of images, varies parameters of at least some of the images, and combines the images to form a graphic artwork file. At least one of the image selecting, the image parameter varying, and the image combining is performed using an algorithm structured to produce varying output in successive iterations of the algorithm invoked with the same input. The media file graphic artwork generator associates the graphic artwork file with the media file for display when the media file is browsed, displayed or played. | 04-21-2011 |
20110093656 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR CONFIGURING A REWRITEABLE NON-VOLATILE MEMORY FOR PRESENTATION OF MEDIA BY A SELECTED MEDIA PRESENTATION DEVICE MODEL - Systems, methods, and computer readable media for managing digital media in a memory storage device associated with a mobile smart device are disclosed. According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for configuring a rewriteable non-volatile memory for presentation of media by a selected media presentation device model. The method includes providing a rewriteable non-volatile memory configuration interface through which a user can select at least one media file and one of a plurality of media presentation device models. and providing a rewriteable non-volatile memory configuration manager, which, in response to selection of the at least one media file and the one media presentation device model via the configuration interface, accesses a database including entries corresponding to the plurality of media presentation device models and configures a rewriteable non-volatile memory according to information retrieved from the database to allow presentation of the at least one media file when the rewriteable non-volatile memory is present in the selected media presentation device model. | 04-21-2011 |
