Systems and methods of transferring data from memory to manage graphical output latency are provided. A device having a display receives an acoustic signal that carries a query. The device determines that a wireless controller is in a first state. The device establishes, based on receipt of the acoustic signal and the determination that the wireless controller device is in the first state, a first interaction mode for a graphical user interface rendered by the computing device for display via the display device. The device sets a prefetch parameter to a first value and prefetches the corresponding amount of electronic content items. The device establishes a second interaction mode and overrides the first value of the prefetch parameter to a second value, and prefetches a second amount of electronic content items corresponding to the second value.

Data transfers from memory to manage graphical output latency

A computer system stores information for a plurality of layouts of one or more user interface elements locally. Each layout corresponds to at least one type of display device, and includes one or more objects associated with the one or more user interface elements. Upon receiving a request for rendering a first user interface element on a display device, the computer system identifies a type of the display device and determines a first one of the at least one type of display device accordingly. The computer system then extracts information for a first layout corresponding to the first one of the at least one type of display device (e.g., information for a subset of objects that is stored with the first layout and corresponds to the first user interface element), and renders the subset of objects corresponding to the first user interface element on the display device accordingly.

Systems and methods for rendering user interface elements

This application is directed to presenting a unified user interface on a network-connected television device. The unified user interface displays media content recommendations selected and organized based on knowledge of a user (e.g., search queries, search results, watch history, purchase history, physical activities). The unified user interface also includes a focus area for displaying a series of media content items (e.g., an advertisement) sequentially according to a temporal order for the purposes of promoting a media content item, product, event or service. In some implementations, playback of a media content item presented on the unified user interface relies on a collaborative implementation of a corresponding media player application and a media content casting application, particularly when the play involves a restricted mode. The content casting application is enabled to play the media content item at the restrict mode when the media player application does not operate in the restricted mode.

Network-connected television devices with knowledge-based media content recommendations and unified user interfaces

This application is directed to a method implemented by a computer system for rendering one or more user interface elements on a display device. The computer system receives a request for rendering a first user interface element without an orientation preference, and identifies a type of the display device. In accordance with a determination that the type of the display device is a first device type corresponding to television devices, the first user interface element is rendered as a vertical user interface element for display in a first display region of the display device. In accordance with a determination that the type of the display device is a second device type corresponding to one or more device other than the television devices, the first user interface element is rendered as a horizontal user interface element for display in a second display region of the display device.

Systems and methods for rendering user interface elements in accordance with a device type

A method for rendering one or more user interface elements on a display screen of a device is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request for rendering a first user interface element without an orientation preference, and identifying a type of the device. The method also includes, in accordance with a determination that the type of the device is a first device type corresponding to television devices and the first user interface element corresponds to a first user interface element type, rendering the first user interface element as a vertical user interface element in a first display region of the display screen.

In an example implementation, a method includes outputting, for display at a display device, a first content item and a first group of content indicators being of a first quantity. The method also includes outputting, for display, a second group of content indicators being of a second quantity, such that the first and second groups are visually separated by at least one graphical element. The method includes, responsive to receiving an indication of a request to display a second content item, outputting, for display, an updated first group of content indicators of a third quantity that is one fewer than the first quantity and outputting, for display, an updated second group of content indicators of a fourth quantity that is one more than the second quantity. The method also includes outputting, for display at the display device, the second content item.

Systems and methods for providing dynamic page indicators

A method for rendering application user interfaces on a television screen executes at a computer system coupled with the television screen. The computer system includes one or more processors and memory storing a plurality of applications configured for execution by the one or more processors. The method provides a user interface of a first application of the plurality of applications for display on the television screen. The method receives from a personal user device a user interface of a second application. The personal user device is distinct from the computer system and the user interface of the second application is provided by one or more programs executing on the personal user device. The method concurrently displays on the television screen the user interface of the first application and the user interface of the second application.

Systems and methods for rendering multiple applications on television screens

Multimedia interface dongle

A system and method that allows for dynamic conversion path exploration. Users can explore all their conversion paths and narrow events they want to investigate by prepending or appending events to the analysis view. In addition, users segment the neighboring events by one of the event dimensions (e.g., source, medium, campaign, keyword).

Path explorer visualization

A method for rendering application user interfaces includes providing a user interface of a first application for display on a television screen, and, while providing the user interface of the first application for display on the television screen, providing a user interface of a second application for concurrent display with the user interface of the first application, in a predefined user interface region, on the television screen. The method also includes, while providing the user interface of the second application, receiving a request for a user interface of a third application. The method further includes, in response to receiving the request for the user interface of the third application, providing a user interface of the third application, instead of the user interface of the second application, for concurrent display with the user interface of the first application, in the predefined user interface region, on the television screen.
