Abstract

A man-machine interface system including a menu module to generate a menu screen for display including a choice of content types, and receive a selection command selecting one of the content types, and a surf-bar module to generate a surf-bar screen for the one content type for display, wherein the surf-bar screen includes a main-view region and a surf-bar including scrollable elements associated with currently playable content items for the one content type, the surf-bar has a spatially fixed focus window such the elements scroll in and out of the window, when the elements cease scrolling one of the elements associated with a focused content item is located in the window, a size of the main-view region is at least a majority of the surf-bar screen, and the main view region includes a visual representation associated with one of the content items. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
