Abstract: An apparatus and method are related to navigating through content on a device that includes stored information that is organized according to channels. Content that is associated with the channels is selected and viewed on a display of the device using at least four selectors. The selectors are mapped to specific functions based on an operating state, mode, or view of the device. The device includes a current operating state that may correspond to a channel splash, a channel view, an extended view, and a mode splash operating state. Selectors have consistent interaction in the device for the channel splash and mode splash operating states, while certain selectors are mapped to context specific functions for the other operating states. The context specific functionality allows great flexibility in the behavior of the device.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are generally related to an alert mechanism. The alert mechanism is activated by the detection of one or more triggers, where the triggers can be categorized as time based and event based. Time-based triggers include timer based functions and scheduler based functions, while event-based triggers include internal alert functions and message based alert functions. Alerts are processed based on a priority scheme. Alerts take over the display area until dismissed by activation of one or more selectors by the user. Indicators may be included in a display screens to keep the user informed of ongoing changes in the alert status.
