20150312618	Systems and Methods for Generating a Full-Motion Video Mosaic Interface for Content Discovery with User-Configurable Filters - A method for generating an interactive graphical user interface is performed at a server system remote from a client device. The server system receives, from the client device, user input selecting a first filter, and filters available video programming using one or more search conditions corresponding to the first filter, to identify a first plurality of videos that satisfy the one or more search conditions. The one or more search conditions include a criterion relating to a popularity metric for a social network. The server system generates a user interface that includes a first mosaic of selectable video tiles corresponding to the first plurality of videos. Respective videos of the first plurality of videos are played in respective video tiles of the first mosaic. The server system encodes the user interface as a video stream and transmits the video stream containing the user interface toward the client device for display.	10-29-2015
