the plurality of digital content objects within the selected top-level category group are a plurality of second-level category groups; and

the method further comprises:

receiving a user pointing operation selecting one of the second-level category groups from a remote controller; and

in response to a zoom-in operation on the selected second-level category group received from the remote controller, displaying a plurality of next-level digital content objects within the selected second-level category group.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying information related to the selected top-level group in a pop-up window.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of top-level category groups are based on one of:

a set of keyword tags;

a customized set of keyword tags provided by the user; or

a processing result of an artificial intelligent algorithm performed on data collected on the user.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of digital content objects are displayed in an irregular-shaped distribution.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of top-level category groups are based on a processing result of an artificial intelligent algorithm performed on data collected on the user.

7. A method for interacting with a navigation interface on a display screen using a remote controller, comprising:

receiving a user pointing operation on the remote controller;

translating the user pointing operation into a user pointing command, the user pointing command including a selection position;

sending the user pointing command to the display screen to cause the display screen to: select a top-level category group among a plurality of top-level category groups displayed on the display screen according to the selection position; and provide visual feedback for the selected top-level category group;

receiving a zoom-in operation on the remote controller and translating the zoom-in operation into a zoom-in command;

sending the zoom-in command to the display screen to cause the display screen to display a plurality of digital content objects within the selected top-level category group in a radial distribution according to a sorting order of category relevancy from a center to an edge of the display screen, wherein digital content objects that are most relevant according to a selection criterion are displayed at the center of the display screen and less relevant digital content objects are displayed toward the edge of display screen;

receiving a pan operation on the remote controller;

converting the pan operation into a pan command; and

sending the pan command to the display screen to cause the display screen to scroll and display additional digital content objects within the selected top-level category group while maintaining neighboring digital content objects in display.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein:

the plurality of digital content objects within the selected top-level category group are a plurality of second-level category groups; and

the method further comprises:

receiving a second user pointing operation on the remote controller;

converting the second user pointing operation into a second user pointing command, the second user pointing command including a second selection position;

sending the second user pointing command to the display screen to cause the display screen to: select a second-level category group among the plurality of second-level category groups displayed on the display screen according to the second selection position; and provide visual feedback for the selected second-level category group;

receiving a second zoom-in operation on the remote controller and translating the second zoom-in operation into a second zoom-in command; and

sending the second zoom-in command to the display screen to cause the display screen to display a plurality of next-level digital content objects within the selected second-level category group.

9. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving a hover operation on the remote controller;

converting the hover operation into a hover command; and

sending the hover command to the display screen to cause the display screen to display information related to the selected top-level group in a pop-up window.

10. A system for displaying digital contents in an interactive navigation interface, comprising:

a display screen;

a display control unit electronically coupled to the display screen; and

a remote controller wirelessly coupled to the display control unit;

wherein the display control unit is configured to:

control the display screen to display a plurality of top-level category groups;

receive a user pointing operation selecting one of the top-level category groups from the remote controller;

control the display screen to provide visual feedback for the selected top-level category group;

in response to a zoom-in operation on the selected top-level category group received from the remote controller, control the display screen to display a plurality of digital content objects within the selected top-level category group in a radial distribution according to according to a sorting order of category relevancy from a center to an edge of the display screen, wherein digital content objects that are most relevant according to a selection criterion are displayed at the center of the display screen and less relevant digital content objects are displayed toward the edge of display screen; and

in response to a pan operation received from the remote controller, perform a display scrolling of the display screen to display additional digital content objects within the selected top-level category group while maintaining neighboring digital content objects in display.

11. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the plurality of digital content objects within the selected top-level category group are a plurality of second-level category groups; and

the display control unit is further configured to:

receive a user pointing operation selecting one of the second-level category groups from a remote controller; and

in response to a zoom-in operation on the selected second-level category group received from the remote controller, control the display screen to display a plurality of next-level digital content objects within the selected second-level category group.

12. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the display control unit is further configured to control the display screen to display information related to the selected top-level group in a pop-up window.

13. The system according to claim 10 , wherein the display control unit defines the plurality of top-level category groups according to one of:

a default set of keyword tags;

a customized set of keyword tags provided by the user; or

a processing result of an artificial intelligent algorithm performed on data collected on the user.
