Multimedia viewers, Audio and video players | Nokia Series 60

Multimedia viewers

For viewers that support several forms of data, the capabilities should be extended, while still keeping the core functions consistent with text viewers. For example, the viewed data may contain graphical still images that are displayed among text. The following additions to the earlier rules are applied:

When necessary an embedded image shall be scaled down so that it can fit the display as a whole. If the scaling capabilities are limited, a moderate amount of oversize can be allowed.

When scrolling the data, the user should be able to see each image completely. This means that at least one scrolling step should let the user view the full image. (If scrolling would occur strictly one screenful at a time, an image could be split into two parts, each one in a separate screen.)

The user should able to view an embedded image better by opening it into an image viewer. (Note that a focus may exist in order to select the desired image, although application designs without focus are also possible.)

After viewing an image in a separate image viewer, the user shall be able to come directly back to the multimedia viewer, in the position the user started from.

Audio and video players

Audio and video are time-based data. The players for such data need at least the following functions:

Play

Pause

Stops the player, but leaves the pointer in the current location so that playing can be continued later.

These commands can be mapped to the same key, as only one of them is needed at all times. These functions shall be accessible by a single key press. The positive action softkey is preferred for this purpose.

Additional functions may include:

Stop

Ends playing the clip and positions the pointer in the beginning of the current piece or section (audio or video clip).

Next piece

Moves to the beginning of the next piece.

Previous piece

Moves to the beginning of the previous piece.
