Abstract: A TV graphical user interface includes a graphical channel changer for enabling a user to select a required TV channel among about 1000 channels provided by a satellite TV system. The graphical channel changer contains a vertical channel bar composed of channel boxes that display numbers and logos of selected TV channels. To switch the TV set to a required TV channel, the user directs the pointing device at the graphical channel box that indicates the required channel. A direct access channel bar is arranged on a screen so as to cause the channel boxes to display the number and logo of a selected TV channel when the user directs the pointing device at the point on the direct access bar that represents the selected channel. The direct access channel bar is provided with an absolute cursor position indicator that indicates to the user the numbers of TV channels represented by various points on the direct access channel bar, when the user moves the pointing device over these points. When TV channels in the channel changer are arranged in alphabetical order of channel or program names, the absolute cursor position indicator indicates the first letter in the name of a TV channel or program represented by a point on the direct access bar, at which the pointing device is directed.

Abstract: A set-top electronics and network interface unit arrangement is connected to an internal digital network interconnecting devices in the home. Entertainment services are introduced into the network through network interface units that are coupled to an external network and to the internal network. The network interface units perform the necessary interfacing between the external and internal networks, and make the entertainment services available to all terminals connected to the internal network. Set-top electronics that are separate from the network interface units connect to the internal network and convert the information in the digital data stream for display, by a television, for example.

Abstract: A home network architecture has an internal digital network interconnecting devices in the home. Entertainment services are introduced into the network through network interface units that are coupled to an external network and to the internal network. The network interface units perform the necessary interfacing between the external and internal networks and perform MPEG clock recovery from an MPEG video data stream. To prevent jitter when the MPEG data stream is transmitted over the internal network to set-top electronics, the recovered MPEG clock is locked by the network interface unit to the internal network clock and then transmitted over the internal network. The set-top electronics then recovers the MPEG clock from the locked MPEG clock transmitted over the internal network. The video data may then be generated using the recovered MPEG clock and displayed on a television, for example.

Abstract: A method and system for commanding and controlling diverse home devices. A first home device capable of displaying user interface data is connected to a home network. A second home device stores user interface data that defines a user interface for commanding and controlling the second home device, also connected to the homenetwork. The first device receives the user interface data from the second device over the network. The first device then displays the user interface as defined by the data. The user interacts with the user interface displayed on the first device by a control device. User input is accepted from the user responsive to the interaction. Control and command information is sent from the first home device to the second home device in order to control the second device according to the user input. Since the user interface can be displayed from any device, a single control device may control a plurality of different devices without requiring any change in the mode of operation of the control device.

Abstract: A cellular phone (35), which may include CDPD communication capability, has a built-in editor for wireless data message communication applications, including E-mail. For data entry, a set of icons is provided on a predetermined section of an LCD screen (40). The remainder of the screen is reserved for the message display. The message section has a capacity for displaying several rows of alphanumeric characters. The icons may be displayed representations of the letters of the alphabet punctuation marks and any other symbols that may be desirable from ASCII format. To select a character for entry, a cursor is navigated using any of four direction keys (52) to highlight the selected icon for entry. Numbers are entered through the standard DTMF keys (50).
