## Abstract

A system may identify at least one dynamic setting for a television device by selecting at least one television setting from a plurality of television settings using a plurality of signals relating to setting usage history, the plurality of signals including a usage of the plurality of television settings by other users of television devices. A system may receive information that identifies the at least one dynamic setting. A system may display the at least one dynamic setting on a user interface of the television device, where the at least one dynamic setting can be displayed in a location that is different from a setting interface.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
selecting at least one dynamic setting for a television device from among a plurality of default television settings using a plurality of signals relating to usage history of the plurality of default television settings, the plurality of signals including a usage of the plurality of default television settings by other users of television devices, the plurality of default television settings being accessible via a setting icon;
receiving information that identifies the at least one dynamic setting; and
displaying the at least one dynamic setting on a user interface of the television device, the at least one dynamic setting being accessible via a different icon than the setting icon.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein selecting the at least one dynamic setting includes:
determining, by a predictive model, the at least one dynamic setting by using the plurality of signals as an input to the predictive model.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
displaying a dynamic setting icon on the user interface; and
in response to a selection of the dynamic setting icon, displaying a list of the at least one dynamic setting.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, further comprising:
displaying the setting icon on the user interface, the dynamic setting icon being displayed adjacent to the setting icon; and
in response to a selection of the setting icon, displaying a setting interface with at least a portion of the plurality of default television settings.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of signals include first signals, the method further comprising:
identifying a plurality of dynamic settings using the first signals;
generating a ranked list by ranking the plurality of dynamic settings using second signals, the second signals including at least one signal that is different from the first signals; and
displaying the ranked list on the user interface.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one dynamic setting includes a first dynamic setting, the method further comprising:
selecting a second dynamic setting from among the plurality of default television settings;
receiving information that identifies the second dynamic setting; and
displaying the second dynamic setting in place of the first dynamic setting in the user interface.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of signals includes recency of use of a television setting by a user of the television device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the plurality of signals includes a number of times a television setting is used by a user of the television device.

### Claim 9

A television device comprising:
at least one processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that cause the at least one processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
selecting a plurality of dynamic settings for a television device by selecting a subset of a plurality of default television settings using a plurality of signals relating to usage history of the plurality of default television settings, the plurality of signals including a usage of the plurality of default television settings by other users of television devices;
receiving information that identifies the plurality of dynamic settings;
displaying a dynamic setting icon on a user interface of the television device;
displaying a setting icon on the user interface;
in response to a selection of the setting icon, displaying a list of at least a portion of the plurality of default television settings; and
in response to a selection of the dynamic setting icon, displaying a list of the plurality of dynamic settings.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The television device of claim 9, wherein the dynamic setting icon is displayed adjacent to the setting icon such that another icon is not disposed between the dynamic setting icon and the setting icon.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The television device of claim 9, wherein the operations further comprise:
determining, by a predictive model, the plurality of dynamic settings by using the plurality of signals as an input to the predictive model, the predictive model including a neural network.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The television device of claim 9, wherein the plurality of signals includes include first signals, wherein the operations further comprise:
selecting the plurality of dynamic settings using the first signals;
generating a ranked list by ranking the plurality of dynamic settings using second signals, the second signals including at least one signal that is different from the first signals; and
displaying the ranked list on the user interface.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The television device of claim 9, wherein the plurality of dynamic settings includes a first subset of the plurality of default television settings, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving information that identifies the second subset; and
displaying the second subset as the plurality of dynamic settings.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The television device of claim 9, wherein the plurality of signals includes recency of a use of television setting a user of the television device.

### Claim 15 (depends on 9)

The television device of claim 9, wherein the plurality of signals includes a number of times a television setting is used by a user of the television device.

### Claim 16

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that cause at least one processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
selecting a plurality of dynamic settings for a television device by selecting a subset of a plurality of default television settings using a plurality of signals relating to usage history of the plurality of default television settings, the plurality of signals including a usage of the plurality of default television settings by other users of television devices, recency of use of a television setting by a user of the television device, and a number of times the television setting is used by the user of the television device;
receiving information that identifies the plurality of dynamic settings;
displaying a dynamic setting icon on a user interface of the television device;
displaying a setting icon on the user interface;
in response to a selection of the setting icon, displaying a list of at least a portion of the plurality of default television settings; and
in response to a selection of the dynamic setting icon, displaying a list of the plurality of dynamic settings.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)
