Abstract: A display apparatus includes presence detection circuitry for detecting an individual in proximity to the display apparatus; a display for displaying video content and a user interface; a processor in communication with the user input circuitry, the display, and the search history database; and non-transitory computer readable media in communication with the processor that stores instruction code. The instruction code is executed by the processor and causes the processor to: a) determine, from the presence detection circuitry, a user in proximity of the display apparatus; b) determine one or more program types associated with the user; c) determine available programs that match the predicted one or more programs; and d) update the user interface to depict a listing of one or more of the available programs that match the predicted one or more programs.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes user input circuitry for receiving user commands and a display for displaying video content and a user interface. The video content includes metadata. The display apparatus includes a processor in communication with the user input circuitry and the display; and non-transitory computer readable media in communication with the processor that stores instruction code. The instruction code, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to receive, from the user input circuitry, a query regarding an image of the video content currently displayed on the display; and determine one or more objects of the image associated with the query based on the metadata. The processor updates the user interface to depict one or more controls, each control being associated with one of the determined one or more objects; and receives a selection of one of the controls. The processor then updates the user interface to depict information related to the selection.

Abstract: A digital television including: a display; a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and the display, the processor configured to: track operation of the television by: identifying content and applications accessed using the television and a time of access that content is accessed for a user profile; store information corresponding to the identified content and time in connection with the user profile; receive a wake-up command; identify the user profile; analyze the stored information to identify recommended content sources of the television; display a collection of selectable elements corresponding to at least one of content and content source based on the recommended content sources, the selectable elements being presented within a control interface during initial operation of the display device; receive an indication of a selection of a selectable element from the collection of selectable elements; and control operation corresponding to the selected selectable element.
