Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to methods, non-transitory computer-readable information storage mediums, and systems for displaying content on a television. These involve receiving a user's selection indication, determining a global panel to display based on that indication, retrieving content information from memory for the global panel, and then displaying this retrieved content information within the specified global panel on the television.
Independent Claims Overview:
Independent Claim 1 (Method Claim): This claim describes a method for displaying content on a television. It involves:
- Receiving an indication that a user has made a selection.
- Based on this indication, determining which "global panel" should be displayed on the television.
- Retrieving specific content information from memory to be shown in that global panel.
- Displaying the retrieved content information within the identified global panel on the television.
Independent Claim 11 (Non-Transitory Computer-Readable Medium Claim): This claim covers a non-transitory computer-readable information storage medium. It has instructions stored on it that, when executed by a computing system, cause the system to perform the same method steps as described in independent claim 1.

- An input device connected to the television.
- A memory.
- A microprocessor configured to:
- Receive an indication of a user's selection.
