Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a television electronic programming guide that allows users to combine multiple search criteria within a single search. The electronic program guide receives a television program search criteria set containing a plurality of search criteria and provides a search result set containing television programs that meet the television program search criteria set. The search criteria in the television program search criteria set may be combined in various ways to form a complex search. For one embodiment the search criteria are combined in a Boolean AND combination. One embodiment of the present invention provides a television electronic programming guide that allows users to dynamically add or remove search criteria from a programming guide search without initiating a new programming guide search. The electronic program guide receives a revision to the television program search criteria set, and revises the search result based upon the revision.

Abstract: A system that enables the rapid build out of applications that surround a database. The applications are designed to provide centralized management, collaborative workflow and data entry for many different applications and businesses. The applications may be quickly and easily customized to fit the needs of the particular business and industry. The system provides basic components that can be easily customized for a particular application. In this embodiment, the components include a Management component that allows users with access the ability to track the progress of a project; a Workflow component that allows users the ability to collaborate on a project and a Data component that enables data to be entered from disparate sources and forms and transformed into a uniform data format.

Abstract: In one case, the invention provides a method for magnifying content. The method comprises displaying content on a display; displaying a magnifying tool on the display, the magnifying tool comprising a display area; determining an element of the displayed content located at coordinates at the display within the display area; identifying a data component for the element; determining a three-dimensional object having a surface to which the data component is to be mapped; and rendering a magnified image within the display area by mapping the data component to the surface.

Abstract: Input is received that identifies a broadcasted program. Content is selected, based on the input, to be displayed in a background area of an interactive programming guide.
