Abstract: Playback of content downloaded or streamed from a network service is automatically synchronized for users at different client devices. Synchronization is achieved using user approved actions to perform during content playback. Each client device submits playback status to a server while the server generates and sends synchronization instructions for each client device. The synchronization instructions are based on user parameters and the difference in playback position between the users.

Abstract: User interface navigation is described. In an embodiment, an indicator displayed on a user interface rotates in place to indicate selectable directions of travel. When an input is received to stop the indicator from rotating, the indicator moves in a direction of travel. When another input is received, the indicator stops moving in the direction of travel, and again rotates in place to indicate other selectable directions of travel. An input can also be received to initiate selecting a user-selectable control on the user interface when the indicator is positioned over the user-selectable control, over a portion of the user-selectable control, or proximate the user-selectable control.

Abstract: Systems and methods for repositioning selectable content. Content that includes selectable items is displayed on a display device through a user interface. When an item is selected, the item is repositioned and sometimes resized so that the selected item is more easily viewed. If the item includes text, the text is more legible because it has been enlarged. Other items included in the content that are not currently selected are not enlarged or modified. When a new item is selected, the new item is repositioned or resized and the previously selected item returns to a previous state.

Abstract: Strategies are described for adding a mark to media content at a source location in response to the activation of a marking mechanism, and then resuming the presentation of the media content at a second location based on the mark. The source location may be the same as the destination location, or the source location may differ from the destination location. In the latter case, the source location can correspond to a first room in a home that provides a first media processing mechanism, and the destination location can correspond to a second room in the home that provides a second media processing mechanism. The marking mechanism can correspond to a mark button provided by a remote control. Various user interface displays facilitate the adding of the mark and the resuming of the presentation, including various timelines displays, mark panel displays, thumbnail displays, etc.

Abstract: The Car Regulating Thermostat is the answer to freezing cold work mornings and scorching hot afternoons. This system is very much like the thermostat found in most modern homes where you set the temperature settings and the system will automatically keep the house at that temperature. The same goes for the automobile with this system which has its own computer for settings and motor for utilization without the car's engine running. This system also has it's own unique power source called The Trinity System for an efficient and reliable power source. Since this system uses it's own power source there is no gas consumption and no pollution released into the atmosphere.
