Abstract:
1. A method for discovering media resources, the method comprising: receiving at a computing device, a request from a client input device for information pertaining to one or more media resources; identifying by the computing device, a particular node for consideration (PNC) from a collection of media information associated with the requested information, the computing device being configured to facilitate identifying the PNC; determining if the PNC is a terminal node, a parent node with a single child, or a parent node with multiple children; based on the determination that the PNC is a parent node with a single child, detecting a branch of nodes, wherein: classifying the PNC as a first node-type if the PNC is a terminal node or the detected branch of nodes ends in a terminal node; wherein the first presentation paradigm provides the media information in a manner which emphasizes a single media resource related to the terminal node in the branch of nodes, such that the presentation paradigm will automatically advance over any number of levels in the hierarchy of nodes containing only one entry for selection and automatically select the terminal node in the branch of nodes, and
