Abstract
A viewer of an audio video display device (AVDD) and transition from a nine panel graphical user interface (GUI) showing a summary degree of metadata to a six panel GUI showing a higher degree of metadata using a horizontal motion.
Claims20
Audio video display device (AVDD) comprising:
- processor;
- video display presenting demanded images under control of the processor;
- computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by the processor to:
- present a first graphical user interface (GUI) on the display, the first GUI including a first number of information panels each being associated with respective content that can be played on the AVDD, at least some panels in the first GUI presenting a summary degree of metadata describing the respective content;
- and
- responsive to a viewer motion, remove the first GUI from the display and present a second GUI on the display, the second GUI including a second number of information panels each being associated with respective content that can be played on the AVDD, the second number being fewer than the first number in the first GUI, at least some panels in the second GUI presenting a detailed degree of metadata describing the respective content, the detailed degree including more metadata than the summary degree.

A method for enabling a viewer of an audio video display device (AVDD) to transition from a first graphical user interface (GUI) showing a summary degree of metadata to a second GUI showing a higher degree of metadata, comprising:
- receiving a user motion input;
- correlating the input to a command to transition to the second GUI;
- and
- responsive to the command, removing the first GUI from the AVDD and presenting the second GUI on the AVDD.

Apparatus, comprising:
- user input device;
- display device receiving signals from the user input device, at least a first one of which signals is generated by translational motion of a person's hand against the input device;
- and
- processor responsive to the first one of the signals changing a level of metadata presented on the display device from more to less metadata, or from less to more metadata.
