Abstract
For a graphical user interface (GUI) for an audio video display device (AVDD) showing plural content information panels arranged in a grid, the loading time during which the content information panels are retrieved and presented on the AVDD is used to display, in the area in which the loading information panel will be, a text description of the category of the panel content. The text also explains the meaning of an icon that is displayed next to the content information panel after the loading is completed.
Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 61/473,098, filed Apr. 7, 2011.
- The present application relates generally to user interfaces (UI) for audio video display devices (AVDD) such as televisions (TVs).
- Graphical user, interfaces (GUI) for audio video display devices (AVDD), such as, e.g., TVs, smart phones, and tablet computers, enable viewers to browse and select video streams for play on the TV. An electronic program guide (EPG) is one such example of a GUI.
- As understood herein, some GUIs may present icons representing one or more content categories associated with respective content. As also understood herein, currently, icons presented on a GUI are not presented in a manner clearly indicating which category the associated icon belongs to. This leads to user confusion as to which icon is associated with which category, and in turn also leads to confusion as to which category is associated with a particular content item. The present application recognizes this and other shortcomings of current GUIs.
- According to principles set forth further below, an audio video display device (AVDD) has a processor, a video display presenting demanded images, and a computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by the processor to present on the display a first graphical user interface (GUI) including plural content where each content panel represents a respective video. If desired, responsive to a viewer input requiring a change to the content panels, the processor retrieves new content for presentation on the GUI. Thereafter, during a load period during which the new content is being retrieved for loading in the GUI, the processor presents, in each GUI location corresponding to a respective content panel, a respective text description of a category of the new content to be loaded into the respective content panel in non-limiting embodiments. If desired, the processor may present next to each respective text description an animated load icon presented as moving on the display during the load period. Then, after the load period, the processor replaces the text descriptions with respective new content panels.
- In some non-limiting embodiments, the GUI may include eight content panels and a current video panel, where the nine panels may be together arranged in a three by three grid. The eight content panels may be changed responsive to viewer input requiring a change to the content panels, and the current video panel may not being changed responsive to viewer input requiring a change to the content panels.
- Furthermore, in non-limiting embodiments, the processor may present next to each respective new content panel a respective icon representing the respective category. Also in some embodiments, the processor may present next to each respective text description a respective icon representing the respective category.
- The non-limiting icons disclosed above may each have a respective category color, where icons of the same category may have the same category color. Further, icons of the same category may not have the category color of icons of any other category. Further still, in non-limiting embodiments the text descriptions may be presented in the sane category colors as the respective icons associated with the respective text descriptions.
- In another aspect, a method includes presenting on a video display a first graphical user interface (GUI) including plural content panels, each content panel representing a respective video. The method also includes, responsive to viewer input requiring a change to the content panels, retrieving new content for presentation on the GUI. The method further includes, during a load period during which the new content is being retrieved for loading in the GUI, presenting, in each GUI location corresponding to a respective content panel, a respective text description of a category of the new content to be loaded into the respective content panel.

FIG. 1 , asystem 10 includes an audio video display device (AVDD) 12 such as a TV including aTV tuner 16 communicating with aTV processor 18 accessing a tangible computerreadable storage medium 20 such as disk-based or solid state storage. The AVDD 12 can output audio on one ormore speakers 22. The AVDD 12 can receive streaming video from the Internet using a built-in wired orwireless modem 24 communicating with the processor 12 which may execute a software-implementedbrowser 26. Video is presented under control of theTV processor 18 on aTV display 28 such as but not limited to a high definition TV (HDTV) flat panel display, and may be a touch screen display. User commands to theprocessor 18 may be wirelessly received from a remote control (RC) 30 using, e.g., rf or infrared. Audio-video display devices other than a TV may be used, e.g., smart phones, game consoles, personal digital organizers, notebook computers and other types of computers, etc. - TV programming from one or more terrestrial
TV broadcast sources 32 as received by aterrestrial broadcast antenna 34 which communicates with the AVDD 12 may be presented on thedisplay 28 andspeakers 22. The terrestrial broadcast programming may conform to digital ATSC standards and may carry within it a terrestrial broadcast EPG, although the terrestrial broadcast EPG may be received from alternate sources, e.g., the Internet via Ethernet, or cable communication link, or satellite communication link. - TV programming from a cable
TV head end 36 may also be received at the TV for presentation of TV signals on thedisplay 28 andspeakers 22. When basic cable only is desired, the cable from the wall typically carries TV signals in QAM or NTSC format and is plugged directly into the “F-type connector” 38 on the TV chassis in the U.S., although the connector used for this purpose in other countries may vary. In contrast, when the user has an extended cable subscription for instance, the signals from thehead end 36 are typically sent through aSTB 40 which may be separate from or integrated within the TV chassis but in any case which sends HDMI baseband signals to the TV. Other types of connections may be used, e.g., MOCA, USB, 1394 protocols, DLNA. - Similarly, HDMI baseband signals transmitted from a
satellite source 42 of TV broadcast signals received by an integrated receiver/decoder (IRD) 44 associated with a home satellite dish may be input to the AVDD 12 for presentation on thedisplay 28 andspeakers 22. Also, streaming video may be received from the Internet 46 for presentation on thedisplay 28 andspeakers 22. The streaming video may be received at thecomputer modem 24 or it may be received at an in-home modem 48 that is external to the AVDD 12 and conveyed to the AVDD over a wired or wireless Ethernet link and received at an RJ45 or 802.11x antenna on the TV chassis. - Also, in some embodiments a video Camera 50, which may be integrated in the chassis if desired or mounted separately and electrically connected thereto, may be connected to the
processor 16 to provide to the 16 video images of viewers looking at thedisplay 28. Furthermore, amicrophone 52 may be provided on the chassis or separate therefrom, and can be electrically connected to theprocessor 16 to provide viewer-generated voice commands to theprocessor 16. -
FIG. 2 shows that an example RC 30 may include a power onkey 60 that can be toggled to energize and deenergize the AVDD 12. A touch-sensitive pad 62 may be provided against which a user can move his finger to correspondingly move a screen cursor on thedisplay 28. Tapping thepad 62 can generate a “select” signal, it being understood that point-and-click devices other than the touchsensitive pad 62 may be used. - Also, a
back key 64 may be provided to cause thedisplay 28 to go back a screen shot, i.e., to present the screen shot immediately prior to the one being displayed when the back signal is generated, so as to enable a user to navigate through the various GUIs shown herein. Ahome key 66 may be provided to cause the below-described “home” GUI to be presented on thedisplay 28, and anoptions key 68 may be provided to allow a user to cause a list of GUI options to be presented in thedisplay 28. Volume output by thespeakers 22 of the AVDD 12 can be controlled using a volume up/downrocker key 70. Manipulation of a key or thepad 62 on theRC 30 causes a respective signal to be sent to anRC processor 72 in theRC 30, which transmits the corresponding command to the AVDD 12 using awireless transceiver 74 such as but not limited to an infrared transceiver. In addition, if desired four arrow keys may be arranged on theRC 30 to move a cursor up, down, left, and right on thedisplay 28. Also, channel up/down keys may be provided as well as a microphone for voice input. A full QWERTY keyboard or keypad may be provided if desired. Thetouch pad 62 may be provided with a buzzer or other device to generate tactile feedback to the user. -
FIGS. 3 and 4 show an example home GUI that may be presented on thedisplay 28 of the AVDD 12. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 , nine information panels arranged as shown in three rows of three panels each present visual content. The panels shown inFIG. 3 are of equal size with each other and are rectangular as shown. According to the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 , the topleft panel 76 of the GUI always shows the currently selected video content, typically either televised content from a selected TV channel or streaming video from a selected website. Information pertaining to available video content is presented in the other eight panels. This information typically includes a photograph or other image, a content source logo indicating the source of the content represented by the panel, and text typically describing the title of the content and other information. - As shown at 78, a numeral may be provided next to each panel, so that the panels may be numbered onscreen from one to nine as shown. This facilitates a user selecting to play video content from a panel by saying the numeral associated with the panel. Also, as shown at 80 a genre indicator may be presented next to each panel. The genre indicator may be an arrow in the case of the
first panel 76 indicating that thefirst panel 76 is presenting the currently selected video. The genre indicator may be a heart (as shown inFIG. 3 for panel 2) indicating the underlying video content has been selected by the user as a “favorite”. Other genre indicators may be presented respectively representing “history”, meaning that the content associated with the panel had been presented previously, “recommended”, meaning that the content associated with the panel is recommended by a recommendation engine executed by theAVDD processor 18, and so on, e.g., “frequently viewed”, “promotional content”. A user can select to present panels associated with content of only a single genre. - Additionally, if desired the GUI shown in
FIG. 3 may present gesture hints 82, describing in text and/or animated hand motion a gesture and its associated command that the user may make, which can be captured by thecamera 50 and correlated to the respective command by theprocessor 18 executing image recognition software. Thus, while viewer input may be afforded by making the display 28 a touch-sensitive display that a viewer can touch and thereby enter commands, present principles envision using viewer gestures in free space, i.e., gestures in which the viewer is distanced from thedisplay 28 as would typically be the case for a TV viewer, with the viewer not touching the display but making gestures that are captured by thecamera 50 and correlated to commands by theprocessor 18 executing image recognition software. - Further, a menu of selections may be presented as shown along the bottom of the GUI, including a “just for you” selector 84 to cause the GUI to contain panels with content personalized to a recognized user, where a viewer is recognized using the image recognition software in accordance with present principles. A search selector 86 can be selected to cause a search for a user-input term to be executed. Also, a bookmark selector 88 can be selected to bookmark the currently playing video in
panel 76 or to bookmark content in a panel over which the screen cursor is positioned. - Still referring to
FIG. 3 , a settings selector element 90 if selected causes a setting menus to be presented to control settings of the GUI. A queue selector element 92 may be presented to cause a list of enqueued programs to be presented on thedisplay 28, and an inputs selector element 94 may be presented, selection of which causes a list of available input sources, e.g., “disk player, cable, satellite” to be presented on thedisplay 28. A recommendations selector element 96 may be presented and if selected causes a list of recommended programming to be presented on thedisplay 28. The list may be generated by a content recommendation engine such as the “Navi” engine made by Sony Corp. A “what's on” selector element 98 may be provided and if selected causes a list of current and future programs such as an electronic program guide (EPG) to be presented on thedisplay 28. Indeed, an EPG may be presented in one of the panels shown inFIG. 3 . - In any case, as mentioned above in the example shown the currently selected video content is always presented in the upper
left panel 76 of the GUI. Should the user select another panel by using theRC 30 or by speaking the number of the panel or by the appropriate gesture captured by thecamera 50, video content from the source associated with the selected panel automatically replaces the video content which was presented in the upperleft panel 76 prior to receiving the new select signal. Indeed, should the user scroll the panels left or right to view additional content the upperleft panel 76 remains unmoving as the other panels move on and off thedisplay 28 as they are replaced by previously hidden content panels, with the upperleft panel 76 always showing the currently selected video program. - The panel layout shown in
FIG. 3 is somewhat coarse in that a visible border space 100 of many pixels width exists between adjacent panels as shown. Such a coarse representation facilitates control using gestures, although navigation by voice and by use of theRC 30 is always preferably enabled regardless of whether the GUI is in the coarse or fine view.FIG. 4 shows that if the user selects the fine view, the border space 100 disappears between adjacent panels, a view more suitable for RC control than gesture control although as stated above all three modes of command input (RC, voice, and gesture) remain enabled simultaneously with each other if desired. - Transition between the two views of
FIGS. 3 and 4 may be effected by an appropriate hand gesture in free space (e.g., a vertical motion of the hand distanced from thedisplay 28 and detected by the camera 50) or by an appropriate voice command (e.g., “fine” or “coarse”), or by selecting, using theRC 30, “fine” or “course” from a settings menu accessed by selecting the settings selector element 90 or by pressing a key on theRC 30 or by simply grasping the RC, which is detected by thecamera 50 and inferred by theprocessor 18 to correlate to a command to move to the “fine” screen ofFIG. 4 . The larger panels in the fine mode ofFIG. 4 can be used to present more information than is presented in the panels ofFIG. 3 . - The GUI shown in
FIGS. 3 and 4 may be removed from the screen and the currently playing video presented on thefull display 28 by, e.g., toggling the home key on theRC 30. Voice command input may be enabled by voicing a phrase such as “hello TV”, which is detected by themicrophone 52 and using voice recognition software correlated by theprocessor 18 to a command to enable voice commands. Voice input may also be enabled using theRC 30 to select the “search” selector element 86. To indicate that voice commands are enabled, an icon such as an image of a microphone 102 can be presented on thedisplay 28. Gesture command input may be enabled by waving the hand, which is detected by thecamera 50 and using image recognition software correlated by theprocessor 18 to a command to enable gesture commands. To indicate that gesture commands are enabled, an icon such as an image of a hand 104 can be presented on thedisplay 28. - Non-limiting examples of corresponding RC, voice, and gesture commands that accomplish the same tasks are:
-
RC COMMAND VOICE COMMAND GESTURE Channel up “Channel up” upward motion of hand Channel down “Channel down” downward motion of hand Volume decrease “Quieter” thumb down Volume increase “louder” thumb up - Additional gesture commands can be: pointed finger—attach cursor; move pointed finger or speak “move cursor [left] [right]”—move cursor per finger movement/voice command; clenched fist or spoken “select”—select panel under cursor for further info; pump clenched fist or voice command “play”—select panel under cursor to be new current video for presentation in pinned
panel 76; two clenched fists or voice command “more info”—show expanded metadata window for cursor video, etc. - Now referring to
FIGS. 5 and 6 , assume that a viewer, using a voice command, gesture in free space, orRC 30 has selected to scroll through or otherwise change the content of the non-pinned content panels inFIG. 3 . In response, while loading the new content panels shown inFIG. 6 theprocessor 18 temporarily may present on thedisplay 28 of the AVDD 12 the screen shot shown inFIG. 5 until the content for the panels ofFIG. 6 is loaded, at which pointFIG. 6 is automatically displayed. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , the GUI may include plural locations for content panels to be presented. Thus, in the non-limiting embodiment shown inFIG. 5 , nine locations for presentation of content panels are arranged in three rows of three, though more or less locations may be presented on the GUI in other non-limiting embodiments. - The locations reserved for presentation of content panels as shown in
FIG. 5 (as well as the content panels themselves, which will be described in reference toFIG. 6 ), may be of equal size with respect to each other, and may further be rectangular in non-limiting embodiments. Further, according to the non-limiting embodiment shown inFIG. 5 , there may be a topleft content panel 76 on the GUI that may always show the currently selected video content, which can typically be either televised content from a selected TV channel or streaming video from a selected website. Thus, information pertaining to available video content may be presented and/or changed in the other eight locations reserved for content panels in accordance with present principles, but thecurrent video panel 76 will not be changed responsive to viewer input requiring a change to the content panels. - Still in reference to
FIG. 5 , as mentioned above responsive to viewer input requiring a change to the content panels, theprocessor 18 may retrieve new content for presentation on the GUI. As shown in the non-limiting embodiments ofFIG. 5 , during a load period during which the new content is being retrieved for loading in the GUI, theprocessor 18 may present, in each of the eight GUI locations corresponding to a respective content panel, a respective text description of the category of the new content to be loaded into the respective content panel. Thus, as shown in the non-limiting embodiment ofFIG. 5 , the location corresponding topanel 106 may contain text, indicating that the underlying video content being retrieved for loading intopanel 106 pertains to a favorite item of a user, the location corresponding topanel 108 may contain text indicating that the underlying video content being retrieved for loading intopanel 108 pertains to an item that has been recorded for presentation on the AVDD 12, and the location corresponding topanel 110 may contain text indicating that the underlying video content being retrieved for loading intopanel 110 pertains to an item that is being recommended by theprocessor 18 in accordance with present principles. In the non-limiting embodiment shown inFIG. 5 , the locations corresponding to remaining panels, such as the location corresponding topanel 112, may contain text indicating that the underlying video content being retrieved for loading into the remaining panels pertains to items that are frequently viewed on the AVDD 12. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , theprocessor 18 may also present in each respective GUI location having a text description one or more animated load icons, such as theicon 114 showing opposed circular arrows, for each panel being loaded into the GUI and/or changed. Further, it is to be understood that theload icon 114 may be presented as moving on the display during the load period. - Additionally, in the non-limiting embodiment shown in
FIG. 5 , the processor may present, next to each location corresponding to a respective content panel, a respective icon representing the respective category of the underlying content associated with a respective panel, and/or identifying the current status of the underlying content associated with a respective panel (e.g., “recorded”, “frequently viewed”, or “recommended”). Further, the icons shown inFIG. 5 may each have a respective category color. Further still, icons of the same category may have the same category color, while icons of the sane category may not have the sane category color of icons of any other category in accordance with present principles. Also in non-limiting embodiments, the text descriptions may also be presented in the same category colors as their respective icons, thereby providing further clarity as to which category each icon and respective text description is associated with. - Thus, as shown in the non-limiting embodiment of
FIG. 5 , the icon may be a royalblue arrow 116 in the case ofpanel 76, indicating that thepanel 76 is presenting the currently selected video. Also in non-limiting embodiments, the icon may be a babyblue heart 118 in the case of the location corresponding topanel 106, indicating the underlying video content being loaded has been selected as a “favorite” by a user of the AVDD 12. Also in some non-limiting embodiments, the icon may be ared circle 120 in the case of the location corresponding topanel 108, indicating the underlying video content being loaded has been previously recorded for presentation on the AVDD 12. Further still, in non-limiting embodiments the icon may be agold star 122 in the case of the location corresponding topanel 110, indicating that the underlying video content being loaded is being “recommended”, meaning that the content being loaded is recommended by a recommendation engine executed by theAVDD processor 18 in accordance with present principles. Lastly, in the non-limiting embodiment shown inFIG. 5 , the icon may be a vertical row of green squares, such as thegreen squares 124 in the case of the location corresponding topanel 112, indicating that the underlying video content being loaded is content that is frequently viewed on the AVDD 12. - It is to be understood that still other non-limiting icons may be presented on the GUI in accordance with present principles, such as, e.g., a rectangular icon indicating that the underlying video content being loaded is promotional content provided by a content provider. It is to be further understood that although panels associated with different categories and/or genres are being loaded onto the GUI in
FIG. 5 , a user can manipulate the GUI in accordance with present principles to present panels associated with content of only a single category and/or genre, if desired. Even further, in non-limiting embodiments each panel may be associated with more than one category such that theprocessor 18 may present plural icons next to one content panel location, though this feature is not shown inFIG. 5 for simplicity. - Now in reference to
FIG. 6 , a screen shot showing the loaded content panels on the GUI described in reference toFIG. 5 is shown. As may be seen inFIG. 6 , thecurrent video panel 76 may still present the currently selected video. Icons that were presented while content was being loaded into the panels as described in reference toFIG. 5 may also be presented on the GUI after the panels have been loaded, as shownFIG. 6 . Thus, after the content is loaded into the respective panels of the GUI, icons such as, e.g., the royalblue arrow 116, babyblue heart 118,red circle 120,gold star 122, andgreen squares 124 may be presented on the GUI next to their respective content panels. - However, in contrast to
FIG. 5 , the GUI as now shown inFIG. 6 presents content panels, which have replaced the respective text descriptions described above. It is to be understood that the new content panels shown inFIG. 6 may contain information pertaining to the particular underlying video content of each respective panel in accordance with principles discussed above in relation toFIGS. 3 and 4 . As indicated above, this information typically, but not necessarily, includes a photograph or other image (such as, e.g., a thumbnail image associated with or derived from the underlying content). The information may also include a content source logo indicating the source of the content represented by the panel and/or text describing the title of the content and other information. Further, information contained on each new content panel may also have been derived in part from metadata associated with the respective underlying content in non-limiting embodiments. - Thus, the
panel 106 as shown inFIG. 6 may now present information that may include an image indicating that the underlying video content ofpanel 106 pertains to a particular favorite item of a user. Further,panel 108 may now present information that may include an image indicating that the underlying video content ofpanel 108 pertains to an particular item that has been recorded for presentation on the AVDD 12, andpanel 110 may now present information that may include an image indicating that the underlying video content ofpanel 110 pertains to a particular item that is being recommended by theprocessor 18 in accordance with present principles. The remaining panels, such as thepanel 112, may now present information that may include images indicating that the underlying video content for each panel pertains to particular items that are frequently viewed on the AVDD 12. - While the particular USER INTERFACE FOR AUDIO VIDEO DISPLAY DEVICE SUCH AS TV is herein shown and described in detail, it is to be understood that the subject matter which is encompassed by the present invention is limited only by the claims.
