Abstract

An audio video display device (AVDD) is provided. The AVDD includes at least one processor, a display configured for presenting demanded images, and a computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by the at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to present on the display a graphical user interface (GUI) including plural content panels, receive and execute voice commands to operate navigation features associated with at least the GUI. A numeral is provided next to each content panel so that a respective content panel can be selected by a voice command including a respective numeral associated with the respective content panel.

Claims (31)

1 . An audio video display device (AVDD), comprising:

at least one processor;

a display configured for presenting demanded images;

a computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by the at least one processor to:

present on the display a first graphical user interface (GUI) including plural content panels, each content panel representing a respective video;

receive and execute voice commands to operate navigation features associated with at least the first GUI,

wherein a numeral is provided next to each content panel so that a respective content panel can be selected by a voice command including a respective numeral associated with the respective content panel,

wherein responsive to a selection of the respective content panel in the first GUI, present on the display a search GUI containing information pertaining to the selected respective content panel from the first GUI,

wherein responsive to a selection of an element from the search GUI, present on the display a new search GUI, and

wherein the instructions are further executable to:

maintain records of the first GUI, the search GUI, and the new search GUI in memory in a sequence corresponding to the order in which the GUIs were presented, and

be responsive to a first scroll command to navigate between the stored GUIs in the sequence and to replace a currently displayed GUI with another GUI from the stored GUIs.

2 . The AVDD of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to:

be responsive to a second scroll command, replace the new search GUI with the search GUI; and

be responsive to a repeated second scroll command, replace the search GUI with the first GUI.

3 . The AVDD of claim 2 , wherein the instructions are executable to:

responsive to another scroll command, scroll new content panels onto the new search GUI with at least a first portion of the new search GUI not scrolling offscreen and with at least a second portion of the search GUI scrolling offscreen to be replaced by the new content panels.

4 . The AVDD of claim 3 , wherein the first portion includes a content panel showing a current video.

5 . The AVDD of claim 3 , wherein the first portion includes a still image and metadata related to the selected content panel are presented.

6 . The AVDD of claim 5 , wherein the still image and metadata is in a single panel which is expanded.

7 . The AVDD of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to present on the display a window, overlaid on the search GUI, to show additional information on the selected content panel.

8 . The AVDD of claim 7 , wherein the scroll command comprises a second scroll command in a first direction that causes replacement of the new search GUI with the search GUI.

9 . The AVDD of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are executable to be responsive to a scroll command in a second direction opposite the first direction to replace the search GUI with the new search GUI.

10 . The AVDD of claim 1 , wherein the records are stacked in memory in the AVDD in sequence.

11 . The AVDD of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to be responsive to a second scroll command to replace the new search GUI with the search GUI, and to be responsive to a reversed second scroll command to restore selection of an element the new search GUI.

12 . The AVDD of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to cause generation of records of the first GUI and the search GUI.

13 . The AVDD of claim 1 , further comprising a remote control usable to operate the navigation features.

14 . The AVDD of claim 13 , wherein the remote control comprises touch-sensitive pad that provides a user with an ability to use their finger to corresponding move a screen cursor to provide signal to execute the navigation features.

15 . The AVDD of claim 13 , wherein the remote control comprises a tactile feedback mechanism.

16 . The AVDD of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is adapted to receive the demanded images from the Internet.

17 . The AVDD of claim 1 , further comprising a browser, which permits the execution of receiving the demanded images from the Internet.
