Navigable wall

Abstract

A computer implemented method of creating, displaying, and interfacing an infinite navigable media wall includes identifying available media from storage accessible by the computer, generating a logical set of media from the available media, generating the infinite navigable media wall by placing graphical representations of media in the logical set of media on a display of the computer, and displaying the infinite navigable media wall on the display of the computer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer implemented method comprising:
 identifying available media from storage accessible by the computer;   generating a logical set of media from the available media;   generating a wall consisting of a tiled pattern of graphic files corresponding to media in the logical set of media;   displaying at least a portion of the wall that fills a viewable portion of a display of the computer; and   changing the at least portion of the wall displayed based on a user gesture.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising sorting the available media according to a preference. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising filtering the available media according to a preference. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein reported metrics are used to suggest similar media available for purchase based on the reported metrics. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the available media is limited to media identified from internal storage and supplemented by media from external storage and/or remote storage according to a preference. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the available media comprises media from remote storage provided by a third-party based on the user's location. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the available media comprises media from remote storage provided in a language corresponding to the user's location. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the available media comprises media from remote storage provided by a third-party in close proximity to the user's location. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the logical set of media comprises advertisements of related media of interest to the user. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the viewable portion of the display of the computer comprises a viewable portion of a software application on the display of the computer. 
     
     
         11 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising software instructions that, when executed by a processor, performs a method comprising:
 identifying available media from storage accessible by a computer.   generating a logical set of media from the available media;   generating a wall consisting of a tiled pattern of graphic files corresponding to media in the logical set of media;   displaying at least a portion of the wall that fills a viewable portion of a display of the computer; and   changing the at least portion of the wall displayed based on a user gesture.   
     
     
         12 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 11 , further comprising sorting the available media according to a preference. 
     
     
         13 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 11 , further comprising filtering the available media according to a preference. 
     
     
         14 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein reported metrics are used to suggest similar media available for purchase based on the reported metrics. 
     
     
         15 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein the available media is limited to media identified from internal storage and supplemented by media from external storage and/or remote storage according to a preference. 
     
     
         16 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein the available media comprises media from remote storage provided by a third-party based on the user's location. 
     
     
         17 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein the available media comprises media from remote storage provided in a language corresponding to the user's location. 
     
     
         18 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein the available media comprises media from remote storage provided by a third-party in close proximity to the user's location. 
     
     
         19 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein the logical set of media comprises advertisements of related media of interest to the user. 
     
     
         20 . The computer-readable medium of  claim 11 , wherein the viewable portion of the display of the computer comprises a viewable portion of a software application on the display of the computer.
