  • USER SELECTION INTERFACE FOR INTERACTIVE DIGITAL TELEVISION
    Publication number: 20110093888
    Abstract: A method of selecting content for display on an interactive television may involve a multilevel selection process that includes selectable hot zones, for example in corners of a graphical user interface, and a central menu area. Selection of a hot zone may cause an increase in size or extension of the zone, prompting a further selection. This may lead to a display of content items in a central menu, with the user selecting content for display from the central menu.
