Abstract: A television system has a television viewing mode (50) and a guide mode (56, 58). The guide mode includes an electronic program guide (EPG), which provides the viewer program information for tuned programs, and a tape index guide (TIG), which provides information for programs recorded on a video cassette (16). In both guides, real time images of a program are displayed in a PIP window (50) on the television screen and guide information (56, 58) is displayed in the background. In both guides, the viewer may switch between a currently telecast program or a recorded program. The viewer may access either guide from the television mode and vice versa. In the guide mode, the viewer may independently switch the guide information and the type of program, i.e. tuned or recorded, in the PIP window.

Abstract: Methods and systems for selecting a payment source for use in making a mobile financial payment utilizing a mobile device such as a mobile telephone (cellphone) or wireless connected personal digital assistant (PDA). A mobile financial transaction system (MFTS) is coupled for electronic communications with one or more financial service providers with which the user maintains one or more accounts, and also for wireless communications with mobile devices. The mobile device displays information corresponding to accounts available to the user as a payment source for use in connection with making a payment using the mobile device. The user selects a payment source for making a payment. The mobile device generates a mobile payment instruction comprising information corresponding to the payment and a selected payment source. The mobile payment instruction is wirelessly communicated to the MFTS. The MFTS generates an MFTS payment instmction that includes an amount, information corresponding to the identified payee, and information indicating the selected payment source. The MFTS payment instruction is communicated to the payment instruction recipient, which effects the payment utilizing the selected payment source.

Abstract: An information playback apparatus is provided, which displays the status of playback of audio information to be played back, wherein operating means (25) determines a value of a remainder (α) provided by dividing an amount of the audio information to be played back sequentially corresponding to elapsed time by a predetermined value (K). A display means (2) is given which provides a predetermined display moving along a substantially circular virtual track in a circumferential direction, wherein the display means (2) provides the predetermined display at an angular position in the circumferential direction associated with the value of the remainder (α) determined sequentially by the operating means (25) corresponding to the elapsed time, thereby moving the display along the virtual track. 
     The apparatus is adapted to divide the audio information to be planed into present high, medium and low frequency components, and compare each of these frequency components with a threshold level (THD). A binary pulse is recorded for each time the audio data in the given frequency components is greater than the threshold level (THD). 
     The binary pulse data is then divided into a predetermined time width (Tw), and the binary pulses for each frequency component are counted per time width interval to give high, medium and low counts (DH, DM, DL). 
     The high, medium and low counts (DH, DM, DL) are then passed through equations 1a to 1c to obtain a set of the each Beat Densities (BTH, BTM, BTL) for each frequency component:      BTH   =   βH   ×   DH             BTM   =   βM   ×   DM             BTL   =   βL   ×   DL        βH, βM and βL are predetermined coefficients, wherein the predetermined coefficients can be varied according to the music style in order to extract the best beat density for said music style, so that the set of the each Beat Densities (BTH, BTM, BTL) is displayed in a predetermined area (9) of the display means (2) with respect to the playback elapsed time of the audio information to be played back.
