Abstract: System and methods for manipulating the display of images on a user's display device where the images originate from a processing device by means of a control device, such as a handheld device. The processing device and the control device are in network communication. Additionally, the processing device and a client device associated with the display device are also in network communication. The control device provides manipulation instructions using manipulation software to the processing device. The processing device may be a remote server or a local rendering device. The processing device renders one or more images based upon the manipulation instructions by combining encoded image fragments.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for displaying a user interface comprising a number of elements on which the user can focus his/her attention as desired, comprising steps for: rendering elements which together form the graphic user interface, distinguishing the element of the actual focus of the user, providing a visual effect to be further rendered in respect of the element of the actual focus, and rendering the visual effect in the user interface, whereby the attention of the user is directed relatively easily to the element of the actual focus.
