Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for providing interactive services used with a time sensitive interactive application are provided. A request is received for interactive services that corresponds to a program. A program identification (ID) for the program is determined. An interactive application that corresponds to the program is determined based on the program ID, where the interactive application has a corresponding interactive application ID. The interactive application ID that corresponds to the interactive application for the program is provided.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided. One example includes a method for transferring location information. Location information is received via a network. The location information is parsed. It is determined whether the location information is in a proper format for a navigation device. In response to determining that the location information is not in the proper format, the location information is converted into the proper format for the navigation device. The location information is transmitted to the navigation device via another network, and the navigation device is capable of receiving communications over the other network.

Abstract: Embodiment of the present disclosure can also be viewed as providing methods for inputting characters into a user interface. In this regard, one embodiment of such a method, among others, can be broadly summarized by the following: receiving a character string; determining possible keywords corresponding to the character string based upon context in which the character string is input; and providing at least a subset of the possible keywords to allow selection of at least one of the keywords in the at least a subset if a keyword of interest is found. Other methods and systems are also provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing media management services for multi-platform media devices are provided. The method includes receiving a first request from a media device for a media file via a network. The method also includes associating the media file with an account record established for an account holder specified in the first request. The method further includes recording the media file and identifying a device platform for the media device. The method also includes providing the media device with access to the recorded media file by converting the recorded media file to the device platform and streaming the converted, recorded media file to the media device over the network.
