Abstract: A graphical user interface accessible to a user and suitable for receiving a user-supplied movement direction or selection input through a directional controller to manage focus, including: a plurality of objects configured in a hierarchical structure; a first focus transfer element configured to transfer the focus from the currently focused object when the user supplied movement direction is received from the directional controller; and a second focus transfer element configured to transfer the focus from the currently focused object when the selection input is received from the directional controller.

Abstract: A method for managing focus in a graphical user interface using a directional controller that allows a directional or selection input. The method comprising: determining whether the input is directional or selection; determining whether there is a sibling object of a currently focused object in a given direction of the input if the input is directional; transferring the focus to the sibling object if there is a sibling object in the given direction; transferring the focus to an ancestor object of the currently focused object if there is no sibling object in the given direction; determining whether the currently focused object is a group; transferring the focus to a descendant object of the currently focused object if the currently focused object is a group and the input is selection; and selecting the currently focused object if the currently focused object is not a group and the input is selection.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for interface negotiation using a device supporting multiple communication interfaces. In one implementation, a wireless device includes: a wireless communication interface supporting communication across a wireless connection; and a controller connected to said wireless interface supporting a negotiation service and a communication service; wherein said negotiation service provides interface negotiation for using said wireless interface to negotiate with another device to select a communication interface for communication with said another device, and said communication service provides control and management of communication with said another device across a connection established using said negotiation service.
