Abstract: Input Processing provides a way of inputting data on any keyboard. A word suggestion menu may suggest words based, at least partially, on the number of times a user presses a key. For example, a user may start typing a word, but rather than spelling it out, the user may simply tap on the same letter repeatedly until the desired word appears. The user may not have to type the correct letters of a desired word to receive a suggestion of the desired word.

Abstract: A method and system for delivering service provider content to a subscriber provides a platform for transmission and reception of traditionally analog media to and from a subscriber. A virtual private network is set-up between a dedicated set-top box and the service-provider server and a data stream that carries aggregated media information to and from the set-top box and the server. That aggregated media information can include live and prerecorded video sources, local telephone, long-distance telephone and Internet access.
