Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with control circuitry, wireless transceiver circuitry, and a display. The electronic device may be used to provide information to a user in response to being pointed at a particular object. The control circuitry may determine when the electronic device is pointed at a particular object using wireless control circuitry and/or motion sensor circuitry. In response to determining that the electronic device is pointed at a particular object, the control circuitry may take suitable action. This may include, for example, displaying information about an object when the electronic device is pointed at the object, displaying control icons for electronic equipment when the electronic device is pointed at the electronic equipment, and/or displaying a virtual object when the electronic device is pointed at real world object.

Abstract: Various features are provided for allowing content providers (typically web site operators) to provide customized, multimedia presentations to end users within web pages. One feature involves a web-based player architecture that provides multiple display screens, each of which may correspond to a different content type (e.g., video, menu, caption, logo, animation, etc.). Another feature involves the use of scripting commands embedded within the video file or other streamed content to control various display attributes of the screens and of the player. These display attributes preferably include the visibility states and positions of the screens, such that a video or other streamed content can switch content items into and out of display and/or move screens to new positions during playing of the streamed content.
