Abstract: A method of populating a series of tiles of an interactive user interface with information is disclosed. The interactive user interface is in a form of a visual display of a representation of an object having a surface contour, and the method includes the step of populating the tiles such that information of greater priority is initially populated in tiles that are most prominently displayed on the object and information of lesser priority is initially populated in tiles that are less prominently displayed on the object. Apparatus and a computer readable storage medium for performing the method are also disclosed.

Abstract: A wireless communication device (200) and method (300) for improving a browsing experience. The method (300) can include: determining (310) an expected time to a next charge; providing (320) a program that correlates typical user usage and determined time to the next charge, to calculate if an energy storage device of a wireless communication device will last to the next charge; and prompting (330) a user with options to minimize power drain based on the calculation. The method (300) can increase the useful life of a battery. Users will embrace this feature because charging can be delayed.

Abstract: A distributed antenna PCN system provides for telephone service on a CATV network. The PCN antenna signal from one PCN node is transported to more than one remotely located antenna nodes via the cable. Thus, rather than having a PCN cell shape equal to the radiation pattern of one antenna node, a distributed antenna system creates a cell shape having a distributed pattern, equal to the sum of the radiation patterns of the individual antenna nodes. A single PCN cell is then not necessarily a contiguous area but may include a number of geographically separated areas so that subscriber locations which are not physically adjacent may be included in the same cell. Therefore, the CATV operator may offer universal service to all subscribers in the CATV system using a first PCN node and add subscribers to the first PCN node as needed, regardless of subscriber location.
