Abstract

Disclosed herein is a receiver that generates a video signal. A first video is assigned to a first display layer of a plurality of display layers. A first trigger signal causes a first application to assign a first user interface to a second display layer, which is positioned over the first display layer. A second trigger signal causes a second application to assign a second user interface to a third display layer, which is positioned over the second display layer. The second trigger signal causes a reduction in a size of the first video, and a first portion of the third display layer and a second portion of the second display layer to be made transparent. The reduced size of the first video is positioned beneath the first portion. A combination of the first display layer, the second display layer, and the third display layer generates the video signal.
