Abstract

A portable communication device includes a media time controller that facilitates searching for and viewing media content based on user-selected time constraints. The media time controller causes the portable communication device to prompt a user for a time constraint value and to receive user input indicative of the time constraint value. The portable communication device queries a media content database for media content files with durations that are consistent with the time constraint value. The portable communication device with a media time controller allows the user to quickly find suitable media for the time available at the moment.
