Abstract: A process by which a user accesses a web site through the use of a mnemonic associated with the desired site, rather than through the use of the site's actual URL. The mnemonic may be text or an audio or video representation. An on-line service converts the mnemonic to a URL, which then can be used by the user to access the target web site.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the online system comprises one or more servers coupled to the Internet and configured to provide an online configuration service. The service preferably includes maintaining a database of configuration information for registered electronic device, and providing a web page interface that allows owners of electronic devices to access and change the configuration information of their electronic devices. The electronic devices preferably initiate contact with the online system to synchronize their configuration information with the database. This web-based approach may advantageously provide electronic devices with a sophisticated (but inexpensive) graphical user interface, and may provide opportunities to businesses wishing to provide targeted advertising, direct sales of accessories, or subscription service sales to owners of electronic devices.

Abstract: A system and method to facilitate the connection or removal of a first connector from a second connector located on a side of a device having an obstructed view. The system includes a device having a map illustrating the portion of the device that is obstructed from view. The map is located on a more visually accessible portion of the device. The method includes using the map to identify the location of a first connector on a device. The device is then coupled to a system or second device by connecting or removing a second connector, such as an electrical cable or water hose, from the first connector.
