Step 1: Understanding the circle's co-ordinates

We first need to understand that for a point (x, y) to be an interior point of the circle \(x^{2}+y^{2}=16\), the sum of the squares of x and y coordinates should be less than the square of the radius (which is \(4^{2}\) in our case). Thus, we have \(x^{2} + y^{2} < 16\).

Step 2: Counting the points

We now need to count the number of integral solutions to \(x^{2}+y^{2}<16\). Remember, x and y can take positive as well as negative values. On manual counting, we get: For x=0, the permissible y values are -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 (7 values). For x=1 or -1, y values can be -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3 (7 values); this makes 14 values for y for these two x's. For x=2,-2, y values can be -2,-1,0,1,2 (5 values); this makes 10 values for these two x's. For x=-3,3, y values can be -1,0,1 (3 values); this makes 6 values for these two x's. We take the sum of total values for y to get our answer.

Step 3: Adding up all counted points

We now add up all the permissible values of the y coordinate for each x coordinate. We have 7+14+10+6 = 37 for points in each quadrant. Because we have 4 quadrants in total, we multiply this count by 4, which gives us 37 * 4 = 148. But, this includes the origin (0,0) four times (once in each quadrant), so we subtract 3 to avoid over-counting to get the final result.
