Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to graphic user interfaces for computer application programs, and more particulary to a graphic user interface for a medial player on a personal computer or similar user device.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Graphical users interfaces for media players are well known. Such interfaces typically provide a computer generated image that simulates a control panel of a hardware media player. In addition, the computer generated image may also include information not generally accessible in a hardware player. For example, the computer generated image may include an index of media files whose content is capable of being read by the media player. The index is generated by the media player usually by reading the entries of one or more directories of an operating system file system within a user computer. The media player may search all such directories such that only file types having an extension readable by the media player are displayed.
- According to the present invention, a computer readable medium contains media player application code which implements the procedures of generating in a user interface an application window having a window frame and a plurality of stiles to define a plurality of panes within said frame, displaying in a first one of said panes a user selectable index of a plurality of media files, displaying in a second one of said first selected information for said media files, and displaying in a third one of said panes second selected information for said media files.
- In one embodiment of the present invention, a user selectable browse button may be displayed in the frame such that the user may toggle the window between displaying all of the panes, and only the pane containing the index of the media files. In another embodiment, a fourth pane displays an index of all the sources for the media files. A feature of this embodiment is that a single user selectable button displayed with the frame may change states in accordance with the particular source of media files selected. In still another embodiment, the frame may contain a user accessible search box. As the user enters each character into the search box, the content of each of the panes is automatically updated to reflect only those entries of the index which match the search character string. In yet another embodiment, a user selectable button allows the window to toggle between display of the panes and a visual effect to accompany the presentation of the content of the media files.
- These and other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art from a study of the following Description of the Exemplary Preferred Embodiments when read in conjunction with the attached Drawing and appended Claims.

In this embodiment of the present invention, thesearch box 88 is adapted to receive through the user interface successive characters of a search term or search string. As each one of the characters of the search string are entered, theindex 24 of the media files is automatically searched. In response to the search being performed, theindex 24 of the media files is refreshed such that only selected ones of the media files in theindex 24 that match the successive ones of said characters are displayed. - In further reference to the
flow chart 90 ofFIG. 12 , a search character is entered into thesearch box 88, as indicated 92. For example, as seen inFIG. 6 , the character “p” may be entered into thesearch box 88. A query is made to determine if an artist or album has heretofore been selected, as indicated at 94. If yes, then the “All” selection of the artist and album is automatically selected, as indicated at 96, so that theindex 24 may be refreshed, as indicated at 98, so that theentire index 24 is searched for this character, instead of the limited selectedindex 24 as described above when an artist or album had been selected. Upon the character “p” being entered, theindex 24 is then displayed, as indicated at 100, to contain only those media files which contain this search character. Also as seen inFIG. 6 , thestatus information 48 is also refreshed indicating that fewer media files are now selected. - The flow process of
FIG. 12 repeats for each subsequent character entered into thesearch box 88. Progressively inFIGS. 7-9 , the characters “r”, “i” and “m” are appended to the search string. In each ofFIGS. 7-9 , it is clearly shown that the index 24-of the media files becomes successively more limited, and thestatus information 88 also further refreshed, until only one match remains, as seen inFIG. 9 . - With reference to
FIG. 10 , a plurality of userselectable control buttons 102 may be disposed in a selected portion of theframe 12. As is conventionally known, thecontrol buttons 102 control execution of the media player, such as play, fast forward and fast reverse, when calling content from the media files in saidindex 24. Furthermore the media player may only call content from only user selected ones of the media files, such as through selection of the check boxes 46. At least one userselectable slider 104 in association with thecontrol buttons 102 may also be displayed. Theslider 104 controls at least one parameter of content of the media files, such as volume.
