Abstract

A content access device ranks content that is available to be accessed based at least on previous user content selection behavior information compared to a current situation. The content access device generates and presents a content access (or navigation) menu that indicates content selected based on the ranking. The menu may include a primary menu element that corresponds to and presents a highest ranked of the content, a secondary menu element that corresponds to and presents still images of a secondary ranked group of the content that are all smaller than the primary menu element, and a tertiary menu element that corresponds to and presents text descriptions of a tertiary ranked group of the content that are all smaller than the still images.
