1. A method for providing one of two types of user interfaces in an intelligent television, the method comprising:
- receiving a first type of selection for a first user interface, wherein the first user interface provides information about content;
providing the first user interface in response to the first type of selection, wherein the first user interface is a Fibonacci view, and wherein representations of the content are organized and arranged in a Fibonacci spiral based on information about the content;
subsequent to receiving the first type of selection, receiving a second type of selection for a second user interface; and
providing the second user interface in response to the second type of selection, wherein the second user interface is a timeline user interface, wherein the timeline user interface orders two or more representations of the content along a timeline based on information about the content, and wherein the two or more representations of the content in the timeline user interface have different placements along the timeline based on the information of the content;
wherein each representation of content is a selectable thumbnail of a respective content, wherein selection of a selectable thumbnail allows a user to view the respective content associated with the selected selectable thumbnail;
wherein the Fibonacci view organizes the selectable thumbnails based on how often the respective content is viewed; and
wherein each selectable thumbnail has a different aspect ratio based on a characteristic of the respective content associated with a respective selectable thumbnail.

Abstract
An intelligent television can provide various interfaces for navigating processes associated with providing content. The user interfaces include unique visual representations and organizations that allow the user to utilize the intelligent television more easily and more effectively. Particularly, the user interfaces pertain to the display of media content, electronic programming guide information, television content, and other content. Further, the user interfaces provide unique process of transitioning between the content.
