Presentation of the Media Content on Mobile Devices

Abstract

A system, computer-implemented method and computer-readable medium for generating a magazine edition menu, is provided. Dimensions of a display screen on a mobile device are determined. Based on the dimensions, the size of an edition preview pane is determined, where the edition preview pane displays multiple images from the magazine editions. Based on the dimensions the size of a thumbnail section is determined, the thumbnail section displays a plurality of thumbnail editions associated with each magazine edition. Based on the size of the thumbnail section and a number of magazine editions, a layout of the plurality of thumbnail editions on a display screen is determined.

 based on the dimensions of the display screen, adjust a size of the preview pane; 
 based on the size of the preview pane, adjust a size of the thumbnail section; and 
 provide the preview pane for display including the preview and the thumbnail section including the thumbnail image. 
   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause they system to:
 receive an indication that an orientation of the mobile device is changing to a new orientation;   readjust the size of the preview pane based on the new orientation; and   readjust the size of the thumbnail section based on the new orientation.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause they system to:
 determine that the size of the thumbnail section is below a predefined threshold; and   in response to determining the size of the thumbnail section is below the predefined threshold, reallocate the size of the thumbnail section to include a predetermined number of rows.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the image included in the media content item is one of a newest image in the media content item and a largest image in the media content item. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause they system to:
