Application: Systems and methods for presenting visual content (Patent ID: US20240100428A1)
The patent filed by Microsoft Corp. describes a method for navigating visual content on a display device by establishing an interface template with a viewport, identifying focusable elements in the visual content data, presenting the content in the viewport, indicating focusable elements with visual indicators, and scrolling the content based on user input. The method involves moving the visual indicator to the second focusable element when it is not in the viewport, using uniaxial directional user input, and scaling elements based on the viewport's dimensions.
The patent also includes a system for providing visual content to users, comprising a computing device with communication and storage capabilities, a processor, and instructions for implementing the navigation method. The system can be a video game console with a user input device like a controller, and the display device can be part of the computing device. Additionally, the method involves indicating a scroll element on a scroll bar when scrolling begins, using the same visual indicator for the scroll element as for the focusable elements in the content.
