Multimedia Content Switching via Gesture-Based Group Segmentation

The patent segments the large amount of pushed multimedia content into multiple groups based on common properties (e.g., type, source, time). Each group is organized separately with clear identification, allowing users to quickly locate content of interest without manually searching through all content. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining content variety while improving search efficiency through structured organization.

The patent introduces a new dimension of organization by grouping content based on multiple properties (type, source, time) simultaneously. Users can navigate through content along different dimensional axes (e.g., filter by type first, then by source), transforming random navigation into structured multi-dimensional exploration. This reduces time consumption while maintaining exploration versatility.

The patent segments the interface into distinct regions for different content groups, with each group having its own display area and control elements. This segmentation allows each content type to occupy adequate space for quality display while the overall interface remains organized and manageable through clear separation, reducing perceived complexity despite maintaining display quality.
