Abstract
A method of conceptually magnifying video browser data, the data being organised hierarchically in one or more levels () is disclosed. The method comprises firstly selecting a parent level (), the parent level selection making visible a first key frame () associated with the parent level (). A magnification mode is also selected, being either a parent-only, or a parent-children magnification mode. Conceptual magnification is then performed, which displays, in the parent-only mode, the first key frame () associated with the parent level (), and other frames () which are also associated with the parent level. The conceptual magnification displays, in the parent-children mode, the first key frame () associated with the parent level (), and second key frames () associated with an associated child level ().
