Method and apparatus for controlling display of video content
First Claim
1. A controller for controlling display of secondary digital content in an overlay above a primary video stream, the controller including a touch interface device, a processor, and a memory storing non-transitory instructions for controlling the processor to perform operations during execution, wherein the operations comprise:
- providing a user interface for control of the secondary digital content in the overlay above the primary video stream, wherein the user interface includes only a line from top to bottom separating the user interface into a left side and a right side;
detecting a first input gesture by a user on the touch screen display from the left side to the right side;
in response to detecting the first input gesture, selecting an application for display from a set of two or more displayed applications, wherein the two or more applications are secondary digital content displayed in the overlay above the primary video stream;
detecting a second input gesture by the user on the right side of the user interface on the touch interface device;
in response to detecting the second input gesture, scrolling through a currently-displayed layer of the selected application displayed, wherein scrolling through the currently-displayed layer takes place in an X-Y plane;
detecting a third input gesture by the user on the left side of the user interface on the touch interface device; and
in response to detecting the third input gesture, scrolling between layers of the selected application in a simulated Z-space.

Abstract
A controller for controlling the display of secondary digital content displayed in an overlay above a primary video stream. The controller includes a touch interface device, a processor, and a memory storing non-transitory instructions. These instructions, when executed, can include (i) detecting a first input gesture by a user on the touch interface device, (ii) in response to detecting the first input gesture, selecting an application for display, (iii) detecting a second input gesture by the user on the touch interface device, (iv) in response to detecting the second input gesture, scrolling through a currently-displayed layer of the selected application displayed, (v) detecting a third input gesture by the user on the touch interface device, and (vi) in response to detecting the third input gesture, scrolling between layers of the selected application in a simulated Z-space.

8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein instructions, which when executed by a processor cause:
-
providing a user interface for control of secondary digital content in an overlay above a primary video stream, wherein the user interface includes only a line from top to bottom separating the user interface into a left side and a right side; detecting a first input gesture by a user on the touch screen display from the left side to the right side; in response to detecting the first input gesture, selecting an application for display from a set of two or more applications displayed, wherein the two or more applications are secondary digital content displayed in the overlay above the primary video stream; detecting a second input gesture by the user on the right side of the user interface on the touch interface device; in response to detecting the second input gesture, scrolling through a currently-displayed layer of the selected application displayed, wherein scrolling takes place in an X-Y plane; detecting a third input gesture by the user on the left side of the user interface on the touch interface device; and in response to detecting the third input gesture, scrolling between layers of the selected application in a simulated Z-space on the display device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A controller for controlling display of information, comprising:
-
(a) a touch interface device; (b) a processor; and (c) a computer readable medium storing instructions for controlling the processor to perform operations during execution performed by the processor, wherein the operations comprise; displaying a user interface for control of secondary digital content in an overlay above a primary video stream, wherein the user interface includes only a line from top to bottom separating the user interface into a left side and a right side; detecting a first input gesture by a user on the touch interface device from the left side to the right side; in response to detecting the first input gesture, selecting an application for display from a set of two or more applications displayed, wherein the two or more applications are secondary digital content displayed in the overlay above the primary video stream; detecting a second input gesture by the user on the right side of the user interface on the touch interface device; in response to detecting the second input gesture, scrolling through a currently-displayed layer of the selected application displayed, wherein scrolling through the currently-displayed layer takes place in an X-Y plane; detecting a third input gesture by the user on the left side of the user interface on the touch interface device; and in response to detecting the third input gesture, scrolling between layers of the selected application in a simulated Z-space on the display device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
