Abstract: A communication device and/or applications capable of facilitating communication through different networks are automatically provisioned based on recognition of network environment including network connectivity and characteristics. A user's multiple identities for different networks with varying capabilities and features are accommodated by detecting and prioritizing available network(s), then provisioning the device to enable the user to communicate through one or more of those networks. Communication types and media may vary depending on network type such as cellular, VOIP, and so on. The device may be configured to scan for new networks automatically periodically or based on location change, time change, etc.

Abstract: Systems and methods for inputting text and commands to an electronic device using a remote control device. One method includes displaying a first grid on a display device, wherein at least one cell in the first grid represents alphanumeric characters and at least one cell represents an operation function. The method includes receiving a first input from the remote control device that identifies a first cell that includes first alphanumeric characters, and displaying a second grid in front of the first grid such that the second grid including a plurality of cells, with each cell representing the first alphanumeric characters. The method also includes receiving a second input from the remote control device that identifies a specific alphanumeric character within the second grid, and displaying the identified alphanumeric character on the display device.
