Method and apparatus for adapting a content package comprising a first content segment from a first content source to display a second content segment from a second content source

Abstract

An apparatus may include a user interface configured to display a content package including a first content segment from a first content source. A gesture interpreter may be configured to receive a gesture input in a positional relationship to the first content segment. The apparatus may further include a content relationship manager which may be configured to determine relationships between content segments such that a content segment selector may select a second content segment relating to the first content segment from a second content source. Further, the apparatus may include a content package adaptor configured to adapt the content package to provide for display of the second content segment. In some instances the content package adaptor may adapt the content package by providing for display of a second content package, for example from a different application than an application which the first content segment is from.

Description

TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD[0001]An example embodiment of the present invention relates generally to adapting a content package and, more particularly, relates to an apparatus, a method and a computer program product configured to adapt a content package comprising a first content segment from a first content source to display a second content segment from a second content source.BACKGROUND[0002]In order to provide easier or faster information transfer and convenience, telecommunication industry service providers are continually developing improvements to existing communication networks. As a result, wireless communication has become increasingly more reliable in recent years. Along with the expansion and improvement of wireless communication networks, mobile terminals used for wireless communication have also been continually improving. In this regard, due at least in part to reductions in size and cost, along with improvements in battery life and computing capacity, mobile terminals have ...

Benefits of technology

[0009]In some embodiments the apparatuses may be further configured to provide for receipt of a second gesture input, and provide for display of a second content package comprising the second content segment from the second content source. The apparatuses may also be configured to provide for receipt of the second gesture input as a continuation of the gesture input. Additionally, the apparatuses may be configured to switch from the first content source to the second content source. Further, the apparatuses may be configured to switch from a first application to a second application. Also, the apparatuses may be configured to increase a displayed size of the second content segment as the gesture input is received. The apparatuses may further comprise user interface circuitry configured to facilitate user control of at least some functions of the apparatus through use of a display, and cause at least a portion of a user interface of the apparatus to be displayed on the display to facilitate user control of at least some functions of the apparatus. The apparatuses may additionally be configured to provide for selection of the second content source from which the second content segment is selected. Similar embodiments of the method and computer program product are also provided. Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention may provide previews of the second content segments and in some embodiments allow the user to switch to the second content source to thereby facilitate browsing of related content segments.

Problems solved by technology

However, the increase in access to content may make it difficult to navigate through the content.

However, manual review of content in this manner may not be optimal in that manual review may be time consuming and tedious.
