`
`applications, social interaction, content creation and/or consumption, and to organize and
`
`control one or more other devices that are in communication with the Intelligent TV 100.
`
`As can be appreciated, the Intelligent TV can be used to enhancethe user interactive
`
`experience whether at homeorat work.
`
`[0085]
`
`In some embodiments, the Intelligent TV 100 may be configured to receive and
`
`understand a variety of user and/or device inputs. For example, a user may interface with
`
`the Intelligent TV 100 via one or more physical or electrical controls, such as buttons,
`
`switches, touch sensitive screens/regions(¢.g., capacitive touch, resistive touch,etc.),
`
`and/or other controls associated with the Intelligent TV 100. In somecases, the Intelligent
`
`TV 100 mayinclude the one or more interactive controls. Additionally or alternatively,
`
`the one or more controls may be associated with a remote control. The remote control
`
`may communicate with the Intelligent TV 100 via wired and/or wireless signals. As can
`
`be appreciated, the remote control may operate via radio frequency (RF), infrared (IR),
`
`and/or a specific wireless communicationsprotocol (e.g., Bluetooth™, Wi-Fi, etc.). In
`
`somecases, the controls, whether physical or electrical, may be configured (e.g.,
`
`programmed) to suit a uscr's preferences.
`
`{@086} Additionally or alternatively, smart phones, tablets, computers, laptops,
`
`netbooks, and other smart devices may be used to control the Intelligent TV 100. For
`
`example, control of the Intelligent TV 100 may be achieved via an application running on
`
`a smart device. The application may be configured to present a user with various
`
`Intelligent TV 100 controls in an intuitive user interface (UID) on a screen associated with
`
`the device 100. The screen may be a touchsensitive, or touch screen, display. Sclections
`
`input by a user via the UI may be configured to control the Intelligent TV 100 by the
`
`application acccssing onc or more communication features associated with the smart
`
`device.
`
`{@087)
`
`It is anticipated that the Intelligent TV 100 can reccive input via various input
`
`devices including, but in no way limited to, video, audio, radio, light, tactile, and
`
`combinations thereof. Among other things, these input devices may be configured to
`
`allow the Intelligent TV 100 to see, recognize, and react to user gestures. For instance, a
`
`uscr may talk to the Intelligent TV 100 in a conversational manner. The Intelligent TV
`
`100 may hear and understand voice commands in a mannersimilar to a smart device's
`
`intelligent personal assistant and voice-controlled navigator application (e.g., Apple's Siri,
`
`Android's Skyvi, Robin, Iris, and other applications).

`
`The Intelligent TV 100 may also be a communications device which can
`
`establish network connections 104 through many alternate means, including wired 108 or
`
`wireless 112 means, over cellular networks 116, and by using a telephone line 120 to
`
`connect to telephone networks operated by telephone companies. These connections 104
`
`enable the Intelligent TV 100 to access one or more communication networks. The
`
`communication networks may comprise any type of known communication medium or
`
`collection of communication media and may use any type of protocols to transport
`
`messages or signals between endpoints. The communication networks may include wired
`
`and/or wireless communication technologies. The Internet is an example of the
`
`communication network 132 that constitutes an Internet Protocol (IP) network consisting
`
`of many computers, computing networks, and other communication devices locatedall
`
`over the world, which are connected through many telephone systems and other means.
`
`i@089} Other examples of the communication network 132 include, without limitation, a
`
`standard Plain Old Telephone System (POTS), an Integrated Services Digital Network
`
`(ISDN), the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), a Local Area Network (LAN), a
`
`Wide Arca Network (WAN), a cellular network, and any other type of packet-switched or
`
`circuit-switched network knownin the art. In addition, it can be appreciated that the
`
`communication network 132 need not be limited to any one network type, and instead may
`
`be comprised of a numberof different networks and/or network types.
`
`{6090}
`
`In some embodiments, the Intclligent TV 100 may be cquipped with multiple
`
`communication means. The multiple communication means may allow the Intelligent TV
`
`100 to communicate across Local Arca Networks (LANs) 124, wireless local area
`
`networks (WLANs) 128, and other networks 132. The networks may be connected in a
`
`redundant manner to ensure network access. In other words, if one conncction is
`
`interrupted, the intelligent TV 100 can use an alternate communications path to reestablish
`
`and/or maintain the nctwork connection 104. Amongotherthings, the intelligent TV 100
`
`may use these network connections 104 to send and receive information, interact with an
`
`electronic program guide (EPG) 136, receive software updates 140, contact customer
`
`service 144 (e.g., to receive help or service, etc.), and/or access remotely stored digital
`
`media librarics 148. In addition, these connections can allowthe Intelligent TV 100 to
`
`make phonecalls, send and/or receive email messages, send and/or receive text messages
`
`(such as email and instant messages), surf the Internet using an internet search engine, post
`
`blogs by a blogging service, and connect/interact with social media sites and/or online
`
`community (c.g., Faccbook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pintercst, GooglcPlus, MySpace, and the
