SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING USER INTERFACES IN AN INTELLIGENT TELEVISION
An intelligent television can provide various interfaces for navigating processes associated with providing content. The user interfaces include unique visual representations and organizations that allow the user to utilize the intelligent television more easily and more effectively. Particularly, the user interfaces pertain to the display of media content, electronic programming guide information, television content, and other content.

7 . A method for providing a user interface in an intelligent television, the method comprising:
receiving a selection, by a processor of the intelligent television;
providing the user interface, wherein the user interface includes at least two regions;
receiving a second selection in the user interface; and
providing an action, by the processor of the intelligent television, based on a location, within one of the at least two regions, in which the second selection was received.
8 . An intelligent television system comprising:
a memory operable to store social media data;
a processor in communication with the memory, the processor operable to:
execute a live television subservice operable to:
receive a selection;
provide the user interface, wherein the user interface includes at least two regions;

15 . The method as defined in claim 7 , further comprises determining in which of the at least two regions the second selection is made.
16 . The method as defined in claim 7 , wherein the user interface includes three regions.
17 . The method as defined in claim 7 , wherein the three regions include a header region, a footer region, and a content region.
18 . The method as defined in claim 7 , wherein each of the three regions includes one or more user-selectable user interface devices.
19 . The method as defined in claim 7 , wherein at least one of the user-selectable user interface devices in each of the three regions is common amongst two or more different user interfaces.
20 . The method as defined in claim 7 , wherein the user interface is a master panel for the intelligent television, wherein the master panel is a top level user interface.
21 . The method as defined in claim 7 , wherein selections available in each region are contextual.
22 . The method as defined in claim 7 , wherein the header includes a navigation bar and title elements, wherein the content region includes a content layout and a scroll item, and wherein the footer region includes system and contextual information and hot key related events.
23 . The method as defined in claim 7 , wherein the action taken in based on both what was selected and in what region the selection was made.
24 . The intelligent television system as defined in claim 8 , wherein the user interface application is further operable to determine in which of the at least two regions the second selection is made, wherein the user interface includes three regions, wherein the three regions include a header region, a footer region, and a content region, wherein each of the three regions includes one or more user-selectable user interface devices, wherein at least one of the user-selectable user interface devices in each of the three regions is common amongst two or more different user interfaces.
25 . The intelligent television system as defined in claim 8 , wherein the user interface is a master panel for the intelligent television, wherein the master panel is a top level user interface, wherein selections available in each region are contextual.
