Abstract: A system comprising a number of transmitters spatially separated and transmitting different local information. A number of portable or mobile receivers adapted to receive transmitted information and provide this to a user, the receivers being adapted to inform the user about which transmitters are available and allow the user to select a transmitter. The information is transmitted via IR light, microwaves or radio waves.

Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus and method for receiving information from a transmitter and providing the information to a user are disclosed. A display provides visual information to the user, and the visual information includes an image and at least one active area. At least one touch button is associated with the active area. A frame grabber, responsive to data received from the transmitter divides the data into a plurality of frames. A memory stores the plurality of frames into a hierarchy level sequence of memory frames. Each memory frame is uniquely identifiable and includes information portions corresponding to images, active areas and links. A controller identifies which information is to be displayed.
