In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a more thorough explanation of embodiments of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the specific details may not be employed to practice embodiments of the present invention.

The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the description and claims of the present invention, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context specifically indicates otherwise. It is also to be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

And depending on the context, the term "if" may be interpreted to mean "when", "upon", "in response to" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting". Similarly, depending on the context, the phrase "if it is determined" or "if [ stated condition or event ] is detected" may be interpreted to mean "upon determining" or "in response to determining" or "upon detecting [ stated condition or event ]" or "in response to detecting [ stated condition or event ]".

Further, the following terms are explained and illustrated in the present application.

The term "web TV" is the original TV content broadcast over the world Wide Web. The major web TV distributors are YouTube, Myspace, Newgroups, Blip.

"network television" (also known as internet television, online television) is a digital distribution of television content delivered over the internet. Web tv, which is a short program or video created by various companies and individuals, should not be confused with web tv, which is an emerging internet technology standard used by television broadcasters, and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), which is an emerging internet technology standard. Internet television is a general term that refers to the delivery of television programs and other video content over the internet by video streaming technology, typically used by large conventional television broadcasters. But not to the technology used to deliver the content (see internet protocol television).

"internet protocol television" (IPTV) refers to a system that uses the internet protocol suite to deliver television services over a packet-switched network, such as the internet, rather than via traditional terrestrial, satellite signal, and cable formats. IPTV services can be grouped into three major groups: live television, with or without interactivity related to the current television program; time-shifted television: program rewarming (rebroadcasting a television program that is hours or days ago), rebroadcasting (playing the current television program from the beginning); and Video On Demand (VOD): a video directory is browsed, which directory is independent of television programming. IPTV differs significantly from internet television in that it has a continuous standardization process (e.g., european telecommunications standards institute) and advantageous deployment schemes for consumer telecommunications networks that provide high-speed access to end-user locations via set-top boxes or other client devices.

"smart tv" sometimes referred to as hybrid tv describes the trend of integrating internet and web2.0 and above functionality in a tv or set-top box, as well as the convergence of computer part functionality and these tv/set-top box technologies. Compared with the traditional television receiver and the set-top box, the method focuses more on online interactive media, internet television, set-top box content and on-demand streaming media, and focuses less on or improves the traditional broadcast media.

A "television" is a telecommunications medium, device (or apparatus) or series of related devices, programs and/or transmission equipment for transmitting and receiving monochrome (black and white) or color motion pictures, with or without accompanying sound. Television is most commonly used to display broadcast television signals. Broadcast television systems typically travel by wire or radio over designated channels in the 54-890 MHz band. A visual display device without a tuner should be referred to as a video monitor rather than a television. Televisions differ from other monitors or displays in the distance a user maintains from the television while viewing media, and televisions have tuners or other circuitry for receiving broadcast television signals.

"cable television" refers to a system for delivering television programming to subscribers via coaxial cable, either as Radio Frequency (RF) signals or as optical pulse signals via fiber optic cable. This is in contrast to conventional broadcast television (terrestrial television) in which the television signal is transmitted over the air by radio waves and received by a television antenna on the television. The term "channel" or "television channel" as used in this application may be a physical channel or a virtual channel, which are both paths for a television station or a television network to transmit programs. The physical channels in analog television have a certain amount of bandwidth, typically 6, 7 or 8MHz, occupying a predetermined channel frequency. In cable or satellite television, a virtual channel is representative of the data stream of a particular television media provider (e.g., television station such as CDS, TNT, HBO, etc.).

The term "satellite television" refers to television programming transmitted via a communications satellite and received via an outdoor antenna (typically a parabolic dish, commonly referred to as a satellite dish), and in domestic applications, the satellite receiver may be an external set-top box or a satellite tuner module built into the television receiver.

The term "live television" as used in this application refers to television production broadcast in real time or substantially synchronized with the time of occurrence of an event.

The term "video on demand" (VOD) as used in this application refers to systems and processes that allow a user to select and view/listen to video or audio content on demand. The VOD system may stream the content to view the real-time content or download it to a storage medium for later review.

A "blog" (also known as a "weblog") is a web site or portion of a web site that is supplemented with new content from time to time. Blogs are typically maintained by individuals, such as by adding comments, activity descriptions or other material such as pictures, videos, etc. on a regular basis. These contents are usually displayed in reverse chronological order.

"blog service" refers to a service that publishes blogs, which may be time-stamped by private or multiple users.

The term "social networking service" is a service provider that establishes an online community in which members have the same interest and/or activity, or are interested in learning about the interests and activities of others. Most social networking services are web-based, providing users with a variety of interactive means, such as email and instant messaging services.

The term "social network" refers to a web-based social network.

The terms "instant messaging" and "instant messaging" refer to a form of real-time text communication between two or more people, typically based on text input.

"Internet search engine" refers to a web search engine designed to search information on the world Wide Web and FTP servers. Search results are typically displayed in a result list, referred to as a SERPS or "search engine results page". The information may include web pages, images, information, and other types of files. Some search engines also collect data available in a database or open directory. Web search engines, when operated, store much of the web page information and then retrieve it from the HTML itself. These web pages are retrieved by a web crawler (sometimes referred to as a web spider, an automated web browser that tracks each link on the web site). The content of each page is then analyzed to determine how to index (e.g., extract text from a title, heading, or special field called a metatag). Data relating to the web pages is stored in an index database for future queries. Some search engines (e.g., Google)^TM) Storing all or part of the content of the source page (called the cache) and information about the web page, other search engines (e.g. AltaVista)^TM) Each word of each page found is stored.

The term "electronic address" refers to any reachable address, including telephone numbers, instant messaging processes, email addresses, global resource locators ("URLs"), universal resource identifiers ("URIs"), formal addresses ("AORs"), electronic aliases in databases (e.g., addresses), and combinations thereof.

The terms "online community," "electronic community," or "virtual community" refer to a group of people that communicate primarily over a computer network, rather than face-to-face, with the motivation for social, professional, educational, or other purposes. In interaction, a variety of media forms may be used, including Wikipedia, blogs, chat rooms, Internet forums, instant messaging, email, and other forms of electronic media. Many forms of media are used in social software, either alone or in combination, including text-based chat rooms and forums that use voice, video text or avatars.

The term "computer-readable medium" as used in this application refers to any tangible storage and/or transmission medium that participates in providing execution instructions to a processor. Such a medium may take many forms, including but not limited to, non-volatile media, and transmission media. Non-volatile media includes NVRAM, magnetic or optical disks, and the like. Volatile media includes dynamic memory, such as main memory. Common forms of computer-readable media include a floppy disk, a flexible disk, hard disk, magnetic tape, or any other magnetic medium, magneto-optical medium, optical disk, any other optical medium, punch cards, paper tape, any other physical medium with patterns of holes, a RAM (random access memory), a PROM (programmable read only memory), and EPROM (erasable programmable read only memory), a FLASH-EPROM, a solid state medium such as a memory card, any other memory chip or cartridge, a carrier wave as described hereinafter, or any other medium from which a computer can read. A digital file attachment to an email or other self-contained information archive or set of archives is considered a distribution medium that corresponds to a tangible storage medium. When the computer-readable medium is configured as a database, it should be understood that the database may be any type of database, such as relational, hierarchical, object-oriented, and/or the like. Accordingly, the application is considered to include a tangible storage medium or distribution medium and prior art-recognized equivalents and subsequent development media in which the software implementations of the application reside.

As used herein, the term "media" in "multimedia" refers to content in one of a set of different content formats. Multimedia may include, but is not limited to, one or more text, audio, still picture, animation, video, or interactive content formats.

The term "screen" as used herein refers to a physical structure containing one or more hardware components that enable a device to display a user interface and/or receive user input. The screen may include any combination of gesture capture regions, touch display screens, and/or configurable regions. The device may embed one or more actual screens in its hardware. However, the screen may also contain peripheral devices that are connected to or disconnected from the device. In some instances, multiple external devices may be connected on a device. For example, another screen with a remote control unit may be connected to the smart tv.

The term "display screen" refers to a portion of one or more screens for displaying computer output content to a user. The display screen may be a single screen display screen or a multi-screen display screen (referred to as a composite display screen). A single physical screen may contain multiple display screens that are managed as separate logical display screens. Thus, different content may be displayed on separate display screens, albeit in a portion of the same physical screen.

The term "gesture" refers to a user behavior that expresses an intended idea, action, meaning, effort, and/or result. User actions include operating a device (e.g., turning the device on or off, changing the device's orientation, moving a trackball or scroll wheel, etc.), movement of a body part relative to the device, movement of an implement or tool relative to the device, audio input, etc. The gestures may act directly on the device (e.g., on a screen) or interact with the device through the device.

The term "gesture capture" refers to the sensing or detection of an entity and/or type of user gesture. Gesture capture may occur in one or more regions of the screen. The gesture area may or may not be located on the display screen, referred to as a touch display screen, referred to as a gesture capture area.

The term "remote control" refers to a component of an electronic device (most commonly a television receiver, DVD player, and/or home theater system) that is generally capable of wirelessly controlling the device within a short line of sight. The remote control typically uses infrared and/or Radio Frequency (RF) signals, and may include WiFi, wireless USB, Bluetooth^TMConnecting and action sensor starting functionAnd/or voice control. Touch screen remote controls are hand-held remote controls, replacing most of the physical built-in hard keys in a typical remote control with a touch screen user interface.

Smart Television (TV) environment:

reference is made to some embodiments of the smart tv 100 shown in fig. 1A and 1B. The smart tv 100 may be used for entertainment, business applications, social interactions, content creation and/or consumption, and/or further include one or more other devices for organizing and controlling communications with the smart tv 100. It can therefore be appreciated that smart tv can be used to enhance the user interaction experience, whether at home or at work.

In some instances, the smart tv 100 may be configured to receive and understand various user and/or device inputs. For example, the user may interact with the smart tv 100 through one or more physical or electronic controls, which may include buttons, switches, touch screens/zones (e.g., capacitive touch screens, resistive touch screens, etc.), and/or other controls associated with the smart tv 100. In some cases, the smart tv 100 may include one or more interactive controls. Additionally or alternatively, the one or more controls may be associated with a remote control. The remote controller can be controlled by wired and/or wireless signals and intelligenceThe television 100 communicates. It will thus be appreciated that the remote control may communicate via Radio Frequency (RF), Infrared (IR) and/or a specific wireless communication protocol (e.g., Bluetooth)^TMWi-Fi, etc.). In some cases, the physical or electronic controls described above may be configured (e.g., programmed) to suit the user's preferences.

Alternatively, a smart phone, tablet, computer, notebook, netbook, and other smart devices may be used to control the smart tv 100. For example, the smart tv 100 is controlled using an application running on the smart device. The application program may provide the user with various smart tv 100 controls in an intuitive User Interface (UI) on a screen associated with the smart tv 100 through configuration. The user's option input on the UI may be configured to control the smart device 100 via the application program using one or more communication functions associated with the smart device.

The smart television 100 may be configured to receive input through a variety of input devices including, but in no way limited to, video, audio, radio, light, tactile, and combinations thereof. Furthermore, these input devices may be configured to enable the smart tv 100 to see and recognize user gestures and react. For example, the user may speak with the smart tv 100 in a conversational manner. The smart television 100 receives and understands voice commands like intelligent personal assistants and voice-controlled navigation applications (such as Siri for apple, Skyvi for android, Robin, Iris, and others) that are smart devices.

In addition, the smart tv 100 may be configured as a communication device that may establish a network connection 104 and connect to a telephone network operated by a telephone company using a telephone line 120 in a number of different ways, including wired 108 or wireless 112, cellular network 116. These connections 104 enable the smart tv 100 to access one or more communication networks. A communication network encompasses any known communication medium or collection of communication media and may use any type of protocol to communicate information or signals between endpoints. The communication network may include wired and/or wireless communication technologies. The internet is an example of a communication network 132 that, together with many computers, computer networks, and other communication devices around the world, forms an Internet Protocol (IP) network, interconnected by many telephone systems and other means.

In some instances, the smart tv 100 may be equipped with a variety of communication tools. Various communication tools may allow the smart tv 100 to communicate over a Local Area Network (LAN)124, a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)128, and other networks 132. These networks may act as redundant connections to ensure network access. In other words, if one connection is interrupted, the smart tv 100 will re-establish and/or maintain the network connection 104 using another connection path. Moreover, the smart television 100 also uses these network connections 104 to send and receive information, as well as Electronic Program Guide (EPG)136 interactions, receive software updates 140, contact customer services 144 (e.g., to obtain help or services, etc.), and/or access remotely stored digital media library 148. In addition, these connections also allow the smart tv 100 to make phone calls, send and/or receive email messages, send and/or receive text messages (e.g., email and instant messages), surf the web using an internet search engine, blog through a blog service, and connect/interact with an online community maintained by a social media website and/or social networking service (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, google plus, MySpace, etc.). When these network connections 104 are used in combination with other components of the smart tv 100 (described in more detail below), we can also hold video teleconferences, electronic conferences, and other types of communications on the smart tv 100. The smart tv 100 may capture and store images and sounds using a connected camera, microphone, and other sensors.

Additionally or alternatively, the smart tv 100 may create and save screenshots of media, images and data displayed on an associated screen of the smart tv 100.

Furthermore, as described in detail below, the smart tv 100 may receive digital and/or analog signal broadcasts of a tv station. It may operate as one or more of cable television, internet protocol television, satellite television, web television, and/or smart television. The smart television 100 may also be configured to control and interact with other intelligent components, such as a security system 172, a door entry/controller 176, a remote video camera 180, a lighting system 184, a thermostat 188, a refrigerator 192, and other devices.

The smart television:

fig. 2 illustrates the components of the smart tv 100. As shown in fig. 2, the smart tv 100 may be supported by a movable base or support 204 that is connected to a frame 208. The frame 208 surrounds the edges of the display screen 212 without obscuring its front face. The display screen 212 may comprise a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), plasma screen, Light Emitting Diode (LED) screen, or other type of screen.

The smart television 100 may include an integrated speaker 216 and at least one microphone 220. In some examples, a first region of the frame 208 includes a horizontal gesture capture region 224 and a second region includes a vertical gesture capture region 228. The gesture capture areas 224 and 228 contain areas that can receive input by recognizing user gestures, and in some examples, the user need not actually touch the surface of the screen 212 of the smart tv 100 at all. The gesture capture regions 224 and 228 do not contain pixels that may perform a display function or capability.

In some examples, one or more image capture devices 232 (e.g., cameras) are added to capture still and/or video images. The image capture device 232 may contain or be connected to other elements, such as a flash or other light source 236 and a ranging device 240 to assist in focusing of the image capture device. In addition, the smart tv 100 may also identify the respective users using the microphone 220, the gesture capture areas 224 and 228, the image capture device 232, and the ranging device 240. Additionally or alternatively, the smart tv 100 may learn and remember preferences of individual users. In some instances, learning and memory (e.g., recognizing and recalling stored information) may be associated with user recognition.

In some examples, an infrared transmitter and receiver 244 may be further configured to connect to the smart tv 100 via a remote control device (not shown) or other infrared device. Additionally or alternatively, the remote control device may transmit wireless signals by other means besides radio frequency, light and/or infrared.

In some examples, the audio jack 248 is hidden behind a foldable or removable panel. Audio jack 248 contains a pointed round cannula (TRS) connector, for example, to allow a user to use headphones, or other external audio device.

In some examples, the smart tv 100 also includes several buttons 252. For example, fig. 2 shows buttons 252 on the top of the smart tv 100, which may be located elsewhere. As shown, the smart tv 100 includes six buttons 252 (from a to f) that can be configured for a particular input. For example, the first button 252 may be configured as an on/off button for controlling the system power of the entire smart tv 100. The buttons 252 may be configured together or separately to control various aspects of the smart tv 100. Some non-limiting examples include, but are not limited to, overall system volume, brightness, image capture device, microphone, and video conferencing hold/end. Instead of separate buttons, two buttons may be combined into one wave button. Such a waving button may be useful in certain situations, such as controlling a function of volume or brightness.

In some instances, one or more buttons 252 may be used to support different user commands. For example, the duration of a normal press is typically less than 1 second, similar to a quick input. The duration of the medium press down is generally 1 second or more but not more than 12 seconds. The duration of the long press is typically 12 seconds or more. This function of the button is generally dependent on the application activated on the smart tv 100. For example, in a video conferencing application, a normal, medium, or long press may mean ending the video conference, increasing or decreasing the volume, increasing the input response speed, and switching the microphone on or off, depending on the particular button. Depending on the particular button, a normal, medium, or long press may also control image capture device 232 to increase or decrease zoom, take a picture, or record a video.

Hardware functions:

fig. 3 illustrates some components of a smart tv 100 according to an example of the present application. The smart tv 100 comprises a display screen 304.

One or more display controllers 316 may be used to control the operation of the display screen 304. The display controller 316 may control the operation of the display screen 304, including input and output (display) functions. The display controller 316 may also control the operation of the display screen 304 and interact with other inputs, such as infrared and/or radio input signals (e.g., door access/gate controllers, alarm system components, etc.). In accordance with other examples, the functionality of the display controller 316 may be incorporated into other components, such as the processor 364.

Processor 364 may include a general-purpose programmable processor or controller that executes application programming or instructions. In accordance with at least some examples, processor 364 includes multiple processor cores and/or executes multiple virtual processors. In accordance with other examples, processor 364 may comprise a plurality of physical processors. As a particular example, the processor 364 may comprise a specially configured Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) or other integrated circuit, a digital signal processor, a controller, a hardwired electronic or logic circuit, a programmable logic device or gate array, a special purpose computer, or the like. The processor 364 is generally configured to execute program code or instructions to perform various functions of the smart tv 100.

To support the connection function or capability, the smart tv 100 may include an encode/decode and/or compress/decompress module 366 to receive and manage digital tv information. The encode/decode compress/decompress module 366 may decompress and/or decode analog and/or digital information transmitted from the public television chain or in the private television network received via the antenna 324, the I/O module 348, the wireless connection module 328, and/or the other wireless communication module 332. Television information may be sent to the display screen 304 and/or an attached speaker that receives analog or digital received signals. Any encoding/decoding and compression/decompression may be performed based on a variety of formats (e.g., audio, video, and data). The encryption module 324 communicates with the encode/decode compression/decompression module 366 so that all data received or transmitted by a user or vendor is kept secret.

In some examples, the smart tv 100 includes an additional or other wireless communication module 332. For example, other wireless communication modules 332 may include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth^TMWiMax, infrared, or other wireless communication link. The wireless connection module 328 and the other wireless communication module 332 may each be interconnected with a common or dedicated antenna 324 and a common or dedicated I/O module 348.

In some examples, to support communication functions or capabilities, smart tv 100 may include wireless connection module 328. For example, wireless connection module 328 may include a GSM, CDMA, FDMA and/or analog cellular telephone transceiver capable of transmitting voice, multimedia and/or data over a cellular network.

An input/output module 348 and associated ports may be added to support communication with other communication devices, servers and/or peripherals, etc., over a wired network or link. Examples of the input/output module 348 include an Ethernet port, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port, a Thunderbolt^TMOr a Light Peak interface, an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)1394 port, or other interface.

An audio input/output interface/device 344 may be added to output analog audio to an interconnected speaker or other device, and to receive analog audio input from a connected microphone or other device. For example, the audio input/output interface/device 344 may include an associated amplifier and analog-to-digital converter. Alternatively or additionally, the smart tv 100 may include an integrated audio input/output device 356 and/or an audio jack to which an external speaker or microphone is connected. For example, adding an integrated speaker and integrated microphone provides support for near-end speech or speakerphone operation.

A port interface 352 may be added. The port interface 352 comprises a peripheral or general purpose port that provides support for the device 100 to connect to other devices or components (e.g., docking stations) that may or may not provide additional or different functionality to the device 100 after interconnection. In addition to supporting the exchange of communication signals between device 100 and other devices or components, docking port 136 and/or port interface 352 may provide power to device 100 or to output power from device 100. The docking port 352 also contains an intelligent component that includes a docking module that controls communication or other interaction between the smart television 100 and the connected devices or components. The docking module may interact with software applications to remotely control other devices or components (e.g., media centers, media players, and computer systems).

The smart tv 100 may also include a memory 308 for the processor 364 to execute application programming or instructions and for temporary or long-term storage of program instructions and/or data. For example, the memory 308 may include RAM, DRAM, SDRAM, or other solid state memory. In some examples, a data store 312 is added. Similar to the memory 308, the data storage 312 may include one or more solid-state memories. In some examples, data storage 312 may include a hard disk drive or other random access memory.

For example, hardware buttons 358 may be used for certain control operations. One or more image capture interfaces/devices 340 (e.g., cameras) may be added to capture still and/or video images. In some examples, the image capture interface/device 340 may include a scanner, code reader, or motion sensor. The image capture interface/device 340 may contain or be connected to other elements, such as a flash or other light source. The image capture interface/device 340 may interact with a user ID module 350 that helps identify the identity of the user of the smart tv 100.

The smart tv 100 may also include a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver 336. According to some examples of the invention, the GPS receiver 336 may further include a GPS module to provide absolute positioning information to other components of the smart tv 100. It will therefore be appreciated that other satellite positioning system receivers may be used instead of or in addition to GPS.

The components of the smart television 100 may draw power through the main power source and/or the power control module 360. For example, the power control module 360 includes a battery, an ac-to-dc converter, power control logic, and/or ports for interconnecting the smart tv 100 to an external power source.

Firmware and software:

FIG. 4 shows an example of software system components and modules 400. Software system 400 may contain one or more layers including, but not limited to, an operating system kernel 404, one or more libraries 408, an application framework 412, and one or more applications 416. One or

more layers

404 and 416 may communicate with each other to perform the functions of the smart tv 100.

The Operating System (OS) kernel 404 contains the primary functions that allow software to interact with the hardware associated with the smart tv 100. The kernel 404 may comprise a series of software to manage computer hardware resources and provide services to other computer programs or software code. Operating system kernel 404 is a primary component of the operating system and acts as a man-in-the-middle between application programs and data processing done using hardware components. Portions of the operating system kernel 404 may contain one or more device drivers 420. The device driver 420 may be any code in an operating system to assist in operating or controlling devices or hardware connected to or associated with the smart television. The driver 420 may contain code to operate video, audio, and/or other multimedia components of the smart television 100. Examples of drivers include display screens, cameras, Flash, Binder (IPC), keyboards, WiFi, and audio drivers.

Library 408 may contain code or other components that are accessed and executed during operation of software system 400. Libraries 408 may include, but are not limited to, one or more operating system runtime libraries 424, a television system Hypertext Application Language (HAL) library 428, and/or a data services library 432. Operating system runtime library 424 may contain code required by operating system kernel 404 and other operating system functions performed during the operation of software system 400. The library may contain code that is initiated during the operation of software system 400.

The tv service hypertext application language 428 may contain code required by the tv service, for execution by the application framework 412 or the application 416. The tv service HAL library 428 is specific to the smart tv 100 operation controlling the different smart tv functions. Furthermore, the tv services HAL library 428 may also consist of instances of other types of application languages than hypertext application languages or different code types or code formats.

The data services library 432 may contain one or more components or code to execute components that implement data service functionality. Data service functions may be performed in the application framework 412 and/or the application layer 416. FIG. 6 shows examples of data service functions and component types that may be included.

The application framework 412 may contain a general abstraction for providing functionality that may be selected by one or more applications 416 to provide specific application functionality or software for those applications. Thus, the framework 412 can include one or more different services or other applications that can be accessed by the application 416 to provide general functionality on two or more applications. Such functionality includes, for example, management of one or more windows or panels, planes, activities, content, and resources. The application framework 412 may include, but is not limited to, one or more television services 434, a television services framework 440, television resources 444, and user interface components 448.

The television services framework 440 may provide additional abstractions for different television services. The television services framework 440 allows for conventional access and operation of services related to television functions. The television services 436 are general services provided in a television services framework 440, which television services framework 440 may be accessed through applications in the application layer 416. The television resources 444 provide code for accessing television resources including any type of stored content, video, audio, or other functionality provided by the smart television 100. Television resources 444, television services 436, and television services framework 440 serve to perform various television functions accompanying smart television 100.

The one or more user interface components 448 may provide general components for the display of the smart tv 100. The user interface component 448 can be accessed as a generic component through various applications provided by the application framework 412. The user interface component 448 may be accessed to provide services for panels and silos as described in figure 5.

The application layer 416 contains and executes applications associated with the smart tv 100. The application layer 416 may include, but is not limited to, one or more live television applications 452, video-on-demand applications 456, media center applications 460, application center applications 464, and user interface applications 468. The live television application 452 may provide live television through different signal sources. For example, the live television application 452 may provide television using input from cable television, radio broadcast, satellite service, or other types of live television services. The live television application 452 may then display a multimedia presentation or a video and audio presentation of the live television signal on the display screen of the smart television 100.

The video-on-demand application 456 may provide video from different storage sources. Unlike the live television application 452, the video on demand 456 provides a video display from some stored source. The video-on-demand source may be associated with a user or a smart tv or some other type of service. For example, video on demand 456 may be provided from an iTunes library stored in cloud technology, from local hard disk storage containing stored video programs, or some other source.

Media center application 460 may provide applications needed for various media presentations. For example, media center 460 may service the display of images or audio other than live television or video on demand but still accessible to the user. The media center 460 may obtain media displayed on the smart tv 100 by accessing different sources.

The application center 464 may provide, store, and use applications. The application may be a game, a productivity application or some other application commonly associated with computer systems or other devices but which may run in a smart tv. The application center 464 may obtain these applications from different sources, store them in local memory, and then execute them for the user on the smart tv 100.

The user interface application 468 may provide services for a particular user interface associated with the smart television 100. These user interfaces may include the silo and panels described in figure 5. An example of user interface software 500 is shown in FIG. 5. Here, the application framework 412 includes one or more code components that help control user interface events, while one or more applications in the application layer 416 affect the use of the user interface of the smart tv 100. Application framework 412 may include a silo switch controller 504 and/or input event transmitter 508. There may be more or fewer code components in the application framework 412 than shown in FIG. 5. Silo switch controller 504 contains code and languages that manage the switching between one or more silos. The silo can be a vertical user interface function on the intelligent television and contains information available for users. Switch controller 504 may manage the switching between the two silos upon the occurrence of an event at the user interface. The input event transmitter 508 may receive event information for the user interface from the operating system and then transmit to the input event transmitter 508. Such event information may include button selections on a remote control or television or other type of user interface input. The input event sender may then send these event information to the silo manager 532 or the panel manager 536 (depending on the event type). Silo switch controller 504 may interact with silo manager 532 to affect changes to the silo.

Application framework 416 may contain user interface application 468 and/or silo application 512. The application framework 416 may include more or fewer user interface applications than are necessary to control the smart tv 100 than shown in fig. 5. The user interface application may include a silo manager 532, a panel controller 536, and one or more panels 516-528. Silo manager 532 manages the display and/or functionality of the silo. Silo manager 532 may receive or transmit information from silo switch controller 504 or input event transmitter 508 to modify the displayed silo and/or to determine the type of input the silo receives.

The panel manager 536 may display panels in the user interface to manage switching between the panels or to affect user interface inputs received in the panels. Accordingly, the panel manager 536 may communicate with different user interface panels, such as the global panel 516, the volume panel 520, the settings panel 524, and/or the notification panel 528. The panel manager 536 may display these types of panels depending on the input from the input event transmitter 508. The global panel 516 may contain information related to the home screen or the user's highest level information. The volume panel 520 displays information related to audio volume controls or other volume settings. The information displayed by the settings panel 524 may relate to audio or video settings or other settable characteristics of the smart tv 100. The notification panel 528 may provide information related to user notifications. These notifications may be related to information such as video on demand displays, favorites, currently available programs, etc., or other information. The content of the notification is related to the media or some type of setting or operation or the smart tv 100. The panel manager 536 may communicate with the panel controller 552 of the silo application 512.

The panel controller 552 may control some of the several types described above. Thus, the panel controller 552 may communicate with the top panel application 540, the application panel 544, and/or the bottom panel 548. These several panels are different from each other when displayed in the user interface of the smart tv 100. Thus, the panel controls may set the panels 516-528 to a certain display orientation (determined by the top panel application 540, the application panel 544, or the bottom panel application 548) depending on the system configuration or the type of display currently in use.

FIG. 6 is an example of a data service 432 and data management operations. Data management 600 may include one or more code components associated with different types of data. For example, data service 432 may have several code components therein that may perform and correlate video on demand, electronic program guide, or media data. The data services 432 may have more or fewer component types than shown in fig. 6. Each of the different types of data may include the data model 604-612. These data models determine what information the data service stores and how it will store. Thus, the data model can manage any data, regardless of where they come from and how they will be received and managed in the smart tv system. Accordingly, the

data models

604, 608, and/or 612 may provide the ability to translate or influence the translation of data from one form to another form that is available to the smart tv 100.

Various data services (video on demand, electronic program guide, media) have a

data sub-service

620, 624 and/or 628 for communicating with one or more internal and/or external content providers 616.

Data subservices

620, 624, and 628 communicate with content provider 616 to obtain data, which is then stored in

databases

632, 636, and 640. The sub-services 620, 624, and 628 may communicate with the content provider, initiating or enabling one or more source plug-

ins

644, 648, and 652 to communicate with the content provider. The source plug-

ins

644, 648, and 652 differ for each content provider 616. Thus, if the data has multiple content sources, each data subservice 620, 624, and 628 may decide and then enable or launch a different source plug-in 644, 648, and/or 652. In addition, the content provider 616 may also provide information to the resource arbiter 656 and/or the thumbnail cache manager 660. The resource arbiter 656 may communicate with resources 664 external to the data services 432. Accordingly, the resource arbiter 656 may communicate with cloud storage, network storage, or other types of external storage in the resources 664. The information will then be provided to the data subservices 620, 624, 628 by the content provider module 616. Similarly, the thumbnail cache manager contains thumbnail information from one of the data subservices 620, 624, 628 and stores the information in the thumbnail database 666. Moreover, the thumbnail cache manager 660 may also extract or retrieve information from the thumbnail database 666 to provide to one of the data subservices 620, 624, 628.

Fig. 7 shows an exemplary content aggregation structure 1300. The structure may include a user interface and

content aggregation layer

1304 and 1308. User interface layer 1304 may include a television application 1312, a media player 1316, and applications 1320. The television application 1312 enables a viewer to view channels received via an appropriate transmission medium, such as cable, satellite, and/or the internet. The media player 1316 may view other types of media received over an appropriate transmission medium, such as the internet. The applications 1320 include other television-related (pre-installed) applications such as content viewing, content searching, device viewing and setup algorithms, and may also cooperate with the media player 1316 to provide information to the viewer.

The content source layer 1308 contains, as data services, a content source service 1328, a content aggregation service 1332, and a content presentation service 1336. The content source service 1328 manages content source investigators including local and/or network file systems, digital network device managers (which discover handheld or non-handheld devices (e.g., digital media servers, players, renderers, controllers, printers, uploaders, downloaders, network connection functions, and interoperability units) via known techniques such as multicast universal plug and play or UPnP discovery techniques, and retrieve, parse, and encrypt device descriptors for each device discovered, notify content source services for newly discovered devices, and provide information about previously discovered devices, such as indexes), internet protocol television or IPTV, digital television or DTV (including high definition and enhanced television), third party services (such as the services referenced above), and applications (such as android applications).

The content source investigator may track content sources, typically configured as binary. The content source service 1328 may launch a content source investigator and maintain an open and persistent communication channel. The communication includes a query or command and a response pair. The content aggregation service 1332 manages content metadata obtainers, such as video, audio, and/or image metadata obtainers. The content presentation service 1336 provides content indexing interfaces, such as an android application interface and a digital device interface.

The content source service 1328 may send communications 1344 to and receive from the content aggregation service 1332. The communication contains notifications regarding the latest and deleted digital devices and/or content and search queries and results. The content aggregation service 1332 can send communications 1348 to and receive from the content presentation service 1336, including device and/or content lookup notifications, advisories and notifications of content of interest, and search queries and results.

When a search is performed, particularly when the user is searching or browsing for content, content presentation service 1336 may receive a user request from user interface layer 1300, opening a socket and sending the request to content aggregation service 1332. The content aggregation service 1332 first returns results from the local database 1340. Local database 1340 contains indexes or data models and indexed metadata. The content source service 1328 further issues search and browse requests for all content source investigators and other data management systems. The results will be sent to the content aggregation service 1332, which updates the database 1340 to reflect the further search results and provides the original content aggregation database search results and the data update results reflecting the more content source service search results to the content presentation service 1336 through the previously opened socket. The content presentation service 1336 then provides the results to one or more components of the user interface layer 1300 for presentation to the viewer. When the search phase is over (e.g., the search phase is terminated by a user or user action), the user interface layer 1300 will disconnect the jack. As shown, media may be provided from the content aggregation service 1332 directly to the media player 1316 for display to the user.

As in fig. 8, video content (e.g., television programs, videos, televisions, etc.) is displayed on the front side of screen 212. The window 1100 obscures a portion of the screen 212 and the remainder of the displayed video content, and may also cause the portion of the screen 212 displaying the video content to move up or down and/or compress as the height of the window 1100 changes, and it may also be that the window 1100 is superimposed over the video content such that the change in height of the window 1100 does not affect the display position of the video content.

Window 1100 can include one or more items of information, such as: a panel recommendation field associated with the currently displayed image and/or content, detailed information (e.g., title, date/time, audio/visual indicators, ratings and genre, etc.), a hotkey field, and information entry fields associated with browsing requests and/or search requests.

In some examples, window 1100 includes information regarding the appropriate information associated with the content (e.g., name, duration, and/or remaining content viewing time), setup information, television or system control information, application (active) icons (e.g., pre-installed and/or downloaded applications), application centers, media centers, web browsers, input sources.

Fig. 9 is an illustrative pictorial example of a user interface for a content/silo selector. The avatar 1400 includes a content source selector 1404. Content source selector 1404 includes icons for one or more silos 1408-1424.

Content source selector 1404 may include two or more icons 1408-1424 representing different silos. For example, icons 1408 through 1420 represent different content application silos. The different content application silos may comprise a live tv silo, represented by icon 1408. A live television silo is a logical representation of a broadcast television signal application that may provide television content to a user of the television 100. A Video On Demand (VOD) silo is represented by reference 1412. The VOD silo provides a path for access to video or other types of media that may be selected and provided to the user on demand. The media center silo is represented by icon 1416. The media center silo contains applications that provide images and/or movies developed or stored by users. The media center provides a way for the user to store his media using the smart tv 100. The application silo is represented by icon 1420. Application silos provide games and other user applications that can be accessed and used on television, and the like. The input source silo 1424 may be any type of device or other storage mechanism that is connected to the television 100 through an input port or other electrical connection, such as: HDMI, and other input interfaces, or input interface aggregation silos.

C/S communication system

Fig. 10 is an exemplary C/S communication system, which includes a terminal (a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a remote controller, a PAD, and/or a PC terminal such as a smart television, an air conditioner, and a refrigerator), a network, and a server, where the terminal and the server transmit data through an access network, where the access network may be a cellular network (4G, 5G, etc.), a local area network, or a metropolitan area network, and in a home environment, the local area network is built through a router to implement interconnection and interworking between multiple terminals, which is an effective way to improve user experience.

As shown in fig. 21a, the present embodiment provides an example of a method 2100 for displaying an application program by moving a focus or clicking after entering an application program (e.g., a shopping application or an app store application) of a display device (e.g., a television or a mobile phone). While fig. 21a-21b show a general order of execution for the method 2100, the method 2100 may contain more or fewer steps, or the order of the steps may be arranged differently than the method 2100 shown in fig. 21a-21 b. The method 2100 is a set of computer-executable instructions executable by a computer system or processor, encoded or stored on a computer-readable medium, or embodied as circuitry in an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) or Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) that can perform the method. In the following, we will explain the method 2100 in connection with the systems, components, modules, data structures, user interfaces, etc. described in connection with fig. 1-20 c.

Figure 21a conceptually illustrates a process 2100 of some embodiments in which a user selects recommended content on a television. As shown, process 2100 first begins by receiving (at 2101) an instruction to trigger a shopping-like application multiple times into a first user interface (item detail GUI), which may be received through a user remote control button, a gesture, or a set of user interactions touching a screen, or through some variation.

Then the process determines that virtual commodity information is accessed from the virtual commodity management system during entering the first user interface, and the virtual commodity information is respectively displayed in different partitions of the first user interface, wherein the partitions comprise a priority recommendation area and a non-priority recommendation area (such as an additional recommendation area and/or a related recommendation area), detects input of switching a focus position in the first user interface, and moves the focus to a target recommendation position, and the target recommendation position can be in the priority recommendation area or the non-priority recommendation area, and inputs instructions corresponding to left-shift, right-shift, up-shift or down-shift keys in a television; the focus moves to a first interface (such as an 'immediate purchase' control) in the priority recommendation area, and the first interface for providing a virtual commodity purchase function for the user is a target recommendation position; the focus may also be moved from the preferred recommendation region to a target recommendation position in the additional recommendation region for the user to view content associated with the third-party application.

The process then detects (at 2103) a first input at the target recommendation location, such as an instruction in the television corresponding to an OK button, the device identifies, in response to the trigger command, the item attribute information in the virtual item information received over the access network; displaying prompt information on the upper layer of the first user interface according to the identification result, wherein the prompt information is used for a user to check the prompt information associated with the first identification result; and displaying a second user interface on the upper layer of the first user interface for the user to view the content associated with the second identification result.
