1. A method for enabling a viewer of an audio video display device (AVDD) to transition from a first graphical user interface (GUI) showing a summary degree of metadata to a second GUI showing a higher degree of metadata, comprising:
- receiving a user motion input while the first GUI is presented on the display;
correlating the input to a command to transition to the second GUI; and
responsive to the command, removing the first GUI from the AVDD and presenting the second GUI on the AVDD wherein the first GUI has “
N”
rows of information panels, wherein “
N”
is an integer greater than one, the second GUI has information panels each corresponding an information panel from at most N−
1 rows of information panels of the first GUI, the information panels in the second GUI being larger than corresponding information panels in the first GUI, the user motion not being interpreted as being directed to a particular panel of the first GUI.

6. Apparatus, comprising:
-
processor configured for controlling a display device, signals being input to the processor, at least a first one of which signals is generated by translational motion of a person'"'"'s hand; and the processor being responsive to the first one of the signals changing a level of metadata presented on the display device from more to less metadata, or from less to more metadata, a current video pane being presented in an unchanging location on the display device in both levels of metadata; wherein the processor changes the level of metadata by changing from a first GUI to a second GUI, and wherein the first GUI has N information panels, wherein N is an integer greater than two, the second GUI has no more than N−
1 plural information panels each corresponding an information panel from the first GUI, the information panels in the second GUI being larger than corresponding information panels in the first GUI, the motion of the person'"'"'s hand not being interpreted by the processor as being directed to a particular panel of the first GUI. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. Audio video display device (AVDD) comprising:
-
processor configured to control demanded images on a display; computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by the processor to; present a first graphical user interface (GUI) on the display, the first GUI including a first number of information panels each being associated with respective content that can be accessed by the AVDD, at least some panels in the first GUI presenting a summary degree of metadata describing the respective content; and responsive to a viewer motion input while the first GUI is presented, remove the first GUI from the display and present a second GUI on the display, the viewer motion not being interpreted by the processor as being directed to any particular panel of the first GUI, the second GUI including a second number of information panels each being associated with respective content that can be accessed by the AVDD, the second number of information panels being fewer than the first number of information panels in the first GUI, at least some information panels in the second GUI presenting a detailed degree of metadata describing the respective content, the detailed degree including more metadata than the summary degree, wherein the second GUI has information panels each of which corresponds to a respective information panel from a subset of the information panels of the first GUI such that some information panels in the first GUI do not corresponding information panels in the second GUI, the information panels of the second GUI being larger than corresponding information panels in the first GUI. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
