`
`BACKGROUND
`
`Muchof the advancement in contemporary computer systems and services stems
`
`from the significant increases in computing power. Hand in hand with those increases,
`
`30
`
`enhanced features sets have developed designedto utilize that computing power.
`
`Conventional wisdom suggests that the more features that can be provided to a particular
`
`computeruser, the better the user’s experience will be.
`
`Page 14 of 650
`
`Page 14 of 650
`
`

`

`-2-
`
`As computers have become more powerful and capable of providing more and
`
`more features, ordinary/typical computer users has not been able to keep up with
`
`availability of features and services. User may becomefrustrated by the inability to
`
`navigate the myriad (sometime unending) configurations and options providedin orderto
`
`achieve something useful and/or workable to their ordinary use. Many users simply don’t
`
`take advantage of provided features. Some outright ignore options and features that would
`
`simplify the use of their computer system. This may occur because of user ignorance or
`
`even fear and in some instances because the user lacks experience with new features — so
`
`the user doesn’t know the feature can be useful.
`
`10
`
`Userfrustration is felt not only with respect to the newer more powerful computer
`
`systems being offered today, but also frustration abounds with respect to their computer’s
`
`interaction with the Internet. The present movementonthe Internet, often referred to as
`
`Web 2.0, also subscribes to conventional thinking in that more and more features are being
`
`packed into each and every aspect of the web experience. Third party service providers
`
`15
`
`can be found for almost any service — virtually no limitations have been found for the
`
`services that can be provided.
`
`Moretypically, these on-line services provide very useful opportunities for the
`
`users who know howto take advantage of them - online photo management/sharing,
`
`online financial services, online marketplaces, online exchanges, web hosting, web
`
`development, dating services, social networking to name only a few. Very often these on-
`
`line services can be found for free or minimal costs. Typically, registration is the only
`
`requirementfor participating in whatis offered as free services. In other words, all thatis
`
`required is the creation of a user name and password. Each service often attempts to outdo
`
`competitors by offering more and more options/features than their competitors.
`
`20
`
`25
`
`SUMMARY
`
`It is realized that the conventional wisdom with respect to such “feature packing”
`
`as discussed above suffers from significant flaws. Typical computer users simply can’t
`
`take advantageofall the functionality offered, either the services and features offered by
`
`30
`
`their own computer, or the services and features offered by online providers. The
`
`complexity of the interface (both hardware and software) hampers adoption, as does the
`
`volumeof features offered. For example, third party service provides often find difficulty

`
`

`

`-3-
`
`in subscribing new users, educating existing users, and providing integration of feature
`
`sets for the features they provide as well as those offered by other service providers.
`
`Further complicating the user’s interaction with computer devices and provided
`
`servicesis the inflexibility of the devices being used and their accompanying interfaces. It
`
`is realized that a device that can provide a user with a flexible portal into electronic
`
`content, that is, one that can be configured dynamically improves the user experience. For
`
`example, permitting transitions from a “lean back” modeof viewing (imagine,for
`
`example, a person watching
