`ABSTRACT
`An intelligent television and methods for displaying content
`are disclosed. Specifically, a user may cause an application
`panel to be displayed, which displays content based on the
`panel tab selected by the user and the content being actively
`displayed on the intelligent television; that is, the layout,
`information, and content of the application panel depends on
`the content being displayed by the intelligent television. For
`example, upon receiving a selection from the user, the intel
`ligent television may display one or more items of informa
`tion that are associated with the content currently being dis
`played in an active content window. Additionally, the user
`may select a tab corresponding to specific information about
`the active content window. As the application panel is used to
`navigate through various screens in the intelligent television,
`the application panel itself does not obstruct the user from
`viewing content displayed on the screen of the intelligent
`television.
