Abstract

The present disclosure relates to electronic devices, processes and systems for configuration of a display device. In one embodiment, a method for or presenting a menu interface by a display device includes detecting a command for presentation of a menu interface of the display device, detecting at least one menu interface setting and presenting a menu interface on a display of the display device. The menu interface may be presented to include a plurality of tile elements associated with a control selection for the display device, the tile elements presented in a configuration format and including a tile configured for personalization, and a tile element for selecting content for presentation by the display device. The method also includes tile elements a configuration format, tile configured for personalization and location of the menu interface based on the at least one menu interface setting.

Claims

1. A method for presenting a menu interface by a display device, the method comprising:

detecting, by a display device, a command for presentation of a menu interface of the display device;

detecting, by the display device, at least one menu interface setting;

presenting, by the display device, a menu interface on a display of the display device wherein the menu interface is presented to include

a plurality of tile elements, wherein each tile element is associated with a control selection for the display device,

wherein the plurality of tile elements are presented in a configuration format,

wherein the plurality of tile elements include a tile configured for personalization,

wherein the plurality of tile elements include at least one tile element for selecting content for presentation by the display device,

wherein the tile elements are presented as an overlay to display screen content presented by the display device, and

wherein the configuration format, tile configured for personalization and location of the menu interface are based on the at least one menu interface setting.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the menu interface is presented by the display device to allow for selection of tile elements to control operation of the display device.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the menu interface setting defines at least one of a pattern, position, layout and appearance of the plurality of tile elements.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the menu interface and plurality of tile elements are presented as an overlay bar, the overlay bar including tile elements arranged in a horizontal arrangement.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the menu interface is presented as an overlay pattern including the plurality of tile elements, wherein tile elements are presented in one or more row and columns.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the tile configured for personalization includes a user defined image and one or more graphical elements associated with a user of the display device.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the menu interface setting is a user selected feature modifying a preloaded configuration for the menu interface to at least one of a set of predefined menu interface configurations.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration format, tile configured for personalization and location of the menu interface are received by the display device based on a network communication with at least one server.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the menu interface further includes presentation of at least one panel view based on a detected selection of the menu interface by the display device.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising presenting graphical elements by the display device during at least one of power-on and power-down operations of the display device.

11. A device comprising:

a display configured to present a menu interface;

a controller coupled to the display, the controller configured to

detect a command for presentation of a menu interface of the display device;

detect at least one menu interface setting;

present a menu interface on a display of the display device wherein the menu interface is presented to include

a plurality of tile elements, wherein each tile element is associated with a control selection for the display device,

wherein the plurality of tile elements are presented in a configuration format,

wherein the plurality of tile elements include a tile configured for personalization,

wherein the plurality of tile elements include at least one tile element for selecting content for presentation by the display device,

wherein the tile elements are presented as an overlay to display screen content presented by the display device, and

wherein the configuration format, tile configured for personalization and location of the menu interface are based on the at least one menu interface setting.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the menu interface is presented by the display device to allow for selection of tile elements to control operation of the display device.

13. The device of claim 11, wherein the menu interface setting defines at least one of a pattern, position, layout and appearance of the plurality of tile elements.

14. The device of claim 11, wherein the menu interface and plurality of tile elements are presented as an overlay bar, the overlay bar including tile elements arranged in a horizontal arrangement.

15. The device of claim 11, wherein the menu interface is presented as an overlay pattern including the plurality of tile elements, wherein tile elements are presented in one or more row and columns.

16. The device of claim 11, wherein the tile configured for personalization includes a user defined image and one or more graphical elements associated with a user of the display device.

17. The device of claim 11, wherein the menu interface setting is a user selected feature modifying a preloaded configuration for the menu interface to at least one of a set of predefined menu interface configurations.

18. The device of claim 11, wherein the configuration format, tile configured for personalization and location of the menu interface are received by the display device based on a network communication with at least one server.

19. The device of claim 11, wherein the menu interface further includes presentation of at least one panel view based on a detected selection of the menu interface by the display device.

20. The device of claim 11, further comprising presenting graphical elements by the display device during at least one of power-on and power-down operations of the display device.
