  • a TV system in another aspect, includes a TV, a TV processor in the TV, and a TV display associated with the TV and configured for communicating with the TV processor.
  • the system further includes an Internet adapter configured for communicating with the TV using at least a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) communication path.
  • the Internet adapter is configured to receive signals from the Internet.
  • An adapter processor is in the adapter.
  • the TV processor and/or the adapter processor is configured for causing a video guide to be displayed on the TV display.
  • the video guide presents plural thumbnails each being associated with a respective video asset on the Internet and each being selectable to cause the associated video asset to be played on the TV display.
  • One or more thumbnails represent a playlist and lists two or more titles of clips in the playlist.
  • a TV in yet another aspect, includes a TV processor in a TV housing and a TV display associated with the TV and configured for communicating with the TV processor.

  • FIG. 2 is a screen shot showing an Internet TV video guide in accordance with one embodiment
  • FIG. 3 is a screen shot showing the Internet TV video guide of FIG. 2 after a viewer has selected a playlist asset, showing the playlist expanded;
  • FIG. 4 is a screen shot showing an Internet TV video guide in accordance with another embodiment after a viewer has selected a playlist asset, showing the playlist expanded;
  • FIG. 5 is a flow chart of non-limiting logic associated with the screen shots described herein.
  • a system is shown, generally designated 10 , which includes a television 12 defining a TV chassis 13 and receiving, via a set-top box (STB) 14 defining a STB housing 15 , audio video TV programming from a head-end 16 , such as a cable or satellite head-end, over a wired or wireless link 17 .
  • the STB 14 and TV 12 are examples of receivers.
  • “Set-top box” also includes set-back boxes. While the STB 14 is shown separately housed from the chassis 18 of the TV 12 , it is to be understood that the functionality of the STB 14 may be incorporated into the chassis 18 .
  • the STB 14 may be connected to the TV 12 by both a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) connector “HDMI” and by a universal serial bus (USB) connector “USB”.
  • the STB 14 may also be connected to the Internet as shown via a wired or wireless communication path 14 a.
  • the path 14 a includes an Ethernet cable.
  • the STB 14 conveys video programs from Internet sites to the TV 12 for display of the video programs on the TV 12 as described further below.
  • the STB 14 includes a STB processor 20 and a tangible computer readable medium 22 such as volatile or non-volatile solid state storage, disk storage, tape storage, or other type of electronic storage medium or logic circuitry that typically can be executed by the processor 20 .
  • the STB 14 typically includes a wireless receiver such as an infrared (IR) receiver 24 for receiving channel, volume, and other commands from a hand-held wireless transceiver 26 on a TV remote control 28 .
  • the receiver 24 communicates with the STB processor 20 .
  • a TV wireless receiver 30 may be provided on the TV housing and may communicate with the TV processor discussed below for sending commands from the remote control 28 to the TV processor.
  • the TV 12 typically includes a TV processor 32 and tangible computer readable medium 34 .
  • Video as well as the below-described user interfaces may be presented on a display 36 of the TV 12 , e.g., a flat panel matrix display, cathode ray tube, or other appropriate video display.
  • Either one or both of the above-described processors may execute instructions stored in either one or both of the above-described tangible computer readable media to undertake logic below.
  • the tangible computer readable media may be established by, without limitation, solid state storage, optical or hard disk storage, tape storage, etc.
  • a video guide 40 appears automatically or in response to a user manipulating a key on the remote control 28 such as a “guide” or “menu” key.
  • the video guide 40 shows thumbnails and/or titles 42 of respective Internet video streams that may be provided through the STB; 14 to the TV 12 via, e.g., the above-described HDMI path for display of the Internet videos on the TV 12 . Videos from all available video providers may be represented by thumbnails 42 .
  • a single video provider is indicated at 44 .
  • a video pane 46 may also be presented on the video guide 40 to display a currently tuned-to TV or Internet video.
  • each thumbnail 42 represents a single respective video stream, and a viewer can place a cursor over a desired thumbnail and select it to cause the associated video stream to be played on the TV 12 .
  • an Internet video provider may elect to provide a video asset that itself consists of two or more video streams, referred to herein for clarity as “clips”, in a playlist format. Such an asset is shown at 48 in FIG. 2 , indicating that the asset is a playlist of plural clips as shown. In this way, an Internet video provider can bundle multiple video clips under one title, with the set of videos appearing on the video guide as one entity to, e.g., support advertisement insertion.
  • the display can change to that shown in FIG. 3 , wherein the playlist thumbnail 48 is expanded to list the clips within the playlist.
  • the viewer may then select a user-desired one of the clips for play, thereby avoiding the necessity of having to play the clips in a predetermined order.
  • the viewer may be able to select playback modes such as play all, repeat and shuffle.
  • an alternate video guide 50 is shown in which Internet video assets are represented by respective thumbnails 52 in a single row near, e.g., the bottom of the display 36 , under a current video pane 54 .
  • a thumbnail represent a playlist consisting of plural clips
  • the clip titles are listed in the thumbnail for selection of an individual clip by a viewer.
  • the clips titles may be presented initially and automatically on the video guide 50 or may appear only in response to, e.g., a viewer hovering a screen cursor over the playlist thumbnail.
  • a video asset data structure and a playlist data structure are established.
  • Each video asset from an Internet video provider, including each playlist is established as a single entity in the video asset data structure.
  • an asset designated as being a playlist it is associated with a playlist data structure in which each clip of the playlist is established as being a single entity.
  • a list of video assets is received from an Internet video provider at block 62 , it is determined which of the assets are playlists at block 64 . This determination may be made by, e.g., scanning video header information in the list for title fields, with two or more title fields being inferred to indicate a playlist and with the titles inferred to indicate the names of the clips in the playlists. Or, a video provider may append or set a predetermined “playlist” flag on an asset that represents a playlist to in effect explicitly tell the STB 14 /TV 12 that an asset is a playlist.
  • a video guide is presented on the TV display 36 in accordance with principles above, showing thumbnails of available Internet videos.
  • the playlist thumbnail is expanded at block 70 to show, e.g., an expanded video guide of FIG. 3 , in which the individual clips of the playlist are displayed for selection thereof by a viewer.
  • the viewer can then select to play a clip or clips in the playlist using the expanded thumbnail in any order desired by the viewer.
  • a “play all” and/or “play randomly” selector may be displayed on the TV display 36 to enable a viewer to cause all clips in the playlist to be played in sequence or in a random order, respectively.
  • the logic may conclude at block 74 , where, when the viewer has finished playing clips in the playlist, a pointer can be maintained at the last-played clip or at the next clip in the sequence so that upon subsequent invocation of the playlist thumbnail, play is resumed at the pointed-to clip.
