Abstract: The various embodiments of the present invention may be directed to a system for facilitating data processing in a visual manner. An application may include, inter alia, a basket component for visually representing the particular data items that a user desires to be processed by an application. The application may allow a user to initially search for data items that may be of interest (e.g., points-of-interest or POIs). A user may select POIs to obtain additional descriptive information regarding each data item. If the selected POI is to be included in processing, a user may drag the visual representation of the POI into the basket component. When the basket component contains all POIs desired for processing, the user may further instruct the application to formulate a result that is a composite of some or all of the POIs in the basket component.

Abstract: A multimedia terminal has a touch sensitive display that displays information and receives user inputs. A control unit controls the operation of the terminal in accordance with user inputs received by the touch sensitive display and selectively executes at least one audio application and at least one video application. There are a plurality of user keys. One of the keys changes an audio/video output of the terminal depending on the application being executed by the control unit at the time that the key is selected.
