Abstract: A method for controlling user input to a plurality of computer windows is provided. The method determines an input window and an output window, directs a plurality of input commands including primary and secondary input commands to the input window, determines when a user is visually focusing on the output window, and directing the secondary input commands to the output window, while the primary input commands remain directed to the input window.

Abstract: An embodiment of a method of selecting a radio broadcast includes detecting a radio broadcast and retrieving user preference data, the user preference data specifying one or more preferred radio stations and/or one or more preferred categories of radio broadcast. The method also includes communicating via a local communication device with at least one additional processing device, wherein communicating includes retrieving radio station category information specifying at least one radio station and a category of the at least one radio station. The method further includes correlating the radio station category information with the detected radio broadcast to identify a radio station that originated the radio broadcast and one or more categories associated with the radio station and/or the radio broadcast, and based on determining that the detected radio broadcast corresponds to the user preference data, displaying information describing the detected radio broadcast and/or controlling the radio receiver.
