My first guess was doing a macro.
F3 C-M-s \[\]\|{} RET C-b F4
Unfortunatly it fails on your first example at some point
for some strange reason. So here is the lisp code to put in your .emacs:

(defun jump-next-bracket-pair ()
"jump inside the next [] or {}"
 (interactive)
 (when (re-search-forward "\\[\\]\\|{}" nil t)
 (backward-char)))

(add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook (lambda ()
   (define-key TeX-mode-map (kbd "<f4>") 'jump-next-bracket-pair))

This binds the command to the F4 key in tex editing modes only.
Cheers.
