Abstract: A method for selectively displaying viewing content based on geographic considerations, the method includes: decoding audio/video (A/V) information; detecting geographic identifiers in the A/V information; displaying specific portions of the A/V information associated with the geographic identifiers, in response to one or more geographic considerations; and wherein the A/V information is from one or more information streams inserted in a single digital broadcast or digital media.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for changing an attribute such as the owner or mode of a file system object such as a file or directory in an information handling system. In response to receiving a user command to change the value of the attribute to a new value, the existing value of the attribute is saved and the value of the attribute is then changed to the new value. The user may later use the saved value to restore the value of the attribute to a previous value. The existing value is saved in a temporary directory allocated to the user, from which it is deleted upon the lapse of a predetermined time period. The time period is settable by the user or set to a default value if it is not set by the user. The user may specify a subset of file system objects whose attributes are saved.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for customizing the output of a user command in a UNIX operating system or other operating system having a command shell. A configuration file specifies an output format for each of one or more user command. In response to receiving a user command, the command shell processes the command to generate an output and formats the output in accordance with the configuration file. The configuration file may specify attributes such as color and font either for a command as a whole or for specified fields of the command. The configuration file may be a default configuration file or may be specified in the command line. The command line may also contain a flag indicating that no configuration file is to used and that default attributes are to be applied.
