Abstract: A system and method for employing a user interface to facilitate user access to games. The example method includes displaying a band of plural adjacent tiles, wherein each tile represents a game, and wherein the band is scrollable in response to a specific user input; and arranging adjacent tiles based on a sorting rule, wherein the sorting rule includes arranging each tile according to a time of use and/or a time of download of a game associated with each tile. In a more specific embodiment, the method further includes illustrating, via the adjacent tiles, one or more games corresponding to one or game recommendations obtained in response to accessing a social network associated with a user of the user interface. Menu selections can allow access to recommendations; access to related games; access to games based on social network usage, and so on.

Abstract: A system and method for employing a user interface to facilitate user access to books. The example method includes displaying a band of plural adjacent tiles, wherein each tile represents a book or collection of books, and wherein the band is scrollable in response to a specific user input; and arranging adjacent tiles based on a sorting rule, wherein the sorting rule includes arranging each tile according to a recency of use of a book associated with each tile. In a more specific embodiment, the method further includes displaying content associated with a book in response to user selection of a tile associated therewith, wherein the content pertains to a most recently viewed portion of the book. A menu activatable via the band may enable access to recommendations of content based on content present in the band of plural adjacent tiles; access a library of books, and so on.
