Abstract
An intelligent television and methods for displaying content are disclosed. Specifically, a user may cause a global panel or application panel to be displayed; the global panel is independent of the currently viewed content and provides functionality at a system level. The application panel displays content based on the content being actively displayed on the intelligent television; that is, the layout, information, and content depends on the content being displayed by the intelligent television. For example, upon receiving a selection from the user, the intelligent television may display one or more items of information that are associated with the content currently being displayed in an active content window. Moreover, as the global and application panels are used to navigate through various screens in the intelligent television, the global panels themselves do not obstruct the user from viewing content displayed on the screen of the intelligent television.
