PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, program and apparatus for accessing alternate images in an electronic document. SOLUTION: This invention comprises identifying an initial image which is to be displayed in the electronic document (generally a web page) and then determining, if alternate versions of the image are available for display. If the alternate versions of the image are available, they are provided within the same electronic document. The alternate images differ from the initial image in size and resolution, allowing users with visual impairments to access larger, higher resolution images. The user accesses the alternate images by means of a selector displayed in the electronic document. When the alternate images are selected, they replace the initial image in the electronic document, and the document is reformatted.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, a system and a program for controlling access to wirelessly broadcast electronic works. SOLUTION: A wireless broadcast of an electronic work with digital rights rules is received from a primary player at a secondary player. Synchronous play of the electronic work at the secondary player may be enabled while the secondary player is within reception range of the primary player. A sample of the streamed electronic work with digital rights rules is stored at the secondary player. Responsive to detecting that the secondary player has moved outside reception range of the primary player, the secondary player only allows playback of the stored electronic work according to the digital rights rules.
