Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for presenting a picture-in-picture (PIP) window on a television or other display generated by a set-top box (STB) or other video receiver. The picture-in-picture window is presented in conjunction with a navigation feature on the display. A two-dimensional input associated with the navigation feature is received from a remote control having a touchpad or other two-dimensional input device. The picture-in-picture window on the display is appropriately adjusted in response to the two-dimensional input.

20. A system for presenting television content on a display, the system comprising:
-
a wireless remote control comprising a two-dimensional input device configured to provide a two-dimensional input signal in response to a user input; and a video receiver comprising; a receiver interface configured to receive an incoming modulated signal; a decoder configured to decode the incoming modulated signal to obtain primary and secondary video signals; a wireless receiver configured to receive the two-dimensional input signal from the wireless remote control; and a processor configured to generate an output image to be presented on the display, wherein the output image comprises the secondary video signal superimposed on the primary video signal in a picture-in-picture window in proximity to a plurality of directional indicators, and wherein processor is further configured to relocate the picture-in-picture window on the display when the two-dimensional input signal corresponds to one of the plurality of directional indicators.
