A method, system, mobile device, apparatus and computer program product are provided for accurately determining whether one or more rights objects associated with a mobile device are valid. In particular, a secure time source (e.g., DRM clock or time) may be maintained by the mobile device and used to check the validity of the one or more rights objects. In order to ensure that the secure time source or clock remains accurate, the mobile device may update the secure time source by regularly requesting and receiving the DVB-H network time from a DVB-H network entity. Because the DVB-H network time is secure, accurate and readily accessible, it provides an ideal tool for correcting possible drift in the mobile device's secure time source.

Method, system, mobile device, apparatus and computer program product for validating rights objects

A mobile communication terminal, a service provider device and methods are disclosed wherein a plurality of services from a service provider is supported. According to the invention the storing of service provider settings, which are related to the service provider, in a memory location specific for the service provider is facilitated.

A media data format is described along with devices, methods, computer readable media and a propagating signal in relation to the media data format. The media data format comprises a music data portion defining a music track, and a metadata portion defining metadata associated with said music track. Said metadata comprises a tempo metadata type having a tempo class value indicating a tempo class of the music track.

Metadata type for media data format

Embodiments of the invention are directed to allocating mobile-terminal electronic-service-guide (ESG) memory for use in storing a dynamically adjustable ESG, determining a composition of a dynamically adjustable ESG that can be stored in the allocated mobile-terminal ESG memory, and determining whether ESG fragments are deleted from the dynamically adjustable ESG to reduce the size of the dynamically adjustable ESG. The size of the allocated ESG memory may be determined based on an amount of memory dynamically available in a mobile terminal and/or by checking statistics of previously stored and/or received ESG data. A time-filter value may be determined for use in determining whether particular ESG fragments should be stored in the dynamically adjustable ESG. The time-filter value may be determined based on a number of channels (or services) for which ESG fragments will be stored in the dynamically adjustable ESG and/or based on whether an ESG-memory-usage threshold has been exceeded.

Dynamically adjustable electronic service guide

A program guide browser (PGB) in accordance with embodiments of the invention may obtain program information items from an electronic program listing database and display the program information items on a user-interface display of a terminal, which may be a mobile terminal. The PGB may display program guide information for programs that are available for viewing on the terminal at that time. The PGB may display program information items for multiple programs one after another and may display each program information item for a predetermined duration. The sequence of program information items may repeat in a loop. An end user may specify and store personal-interest rules for the PGB to alert the user when the PGB is displaying information for a certain program, or for a certain genre of program.

A system for providing broadcast content includes at least one content source for broadcasting content, and at least one terminal. The terminal can receive and consume content for a selected channel x, which is one in a set of ordered channels of broadcast content. The terminal can also change channels from the selected channel x to an adjacent channel x&#xb1;1 in the set of n ordered channels. In response to changing channels to the adjacent channel x&#xb1;1, the terminal can receive and consume content for the adjacent channel x&#xb1;1. The terminal can receive and store content for Y next adjacent channels (x&#xb1;1)&#xb1;y, y=1, . . . , Y in buffer memory. Content for the next adjacent channels is stored based upon the direction the channel is changed and in response to changing channels.

A method of handling images in an image capturing device, said method including the steps of capturing an image, receiving a voice tag and matching the received voice tag with a stored voice tag, said stored voice tag having an instruction associated therewith for handling an image, and handling the image in accordance with the instruction corresponding to the received voice tag.

Image handling using a voice tag

A method and apparatus by which a user of two or more client devices () each hosting a data store () can have the data stores kept synchronized by a server () (in some cases operated as a synchronizing service) in a way acceptable to the user even though at least one of the two data stores () includes a data component (such as a field of a record) that is not in the other data store () (or for which a correspondence from the one data store () to the other data store () in respect to the data component has not yet been set, including possibly a null correspondence). Any such so-called problem field is monitored by a sync field scanner () usually hosted by the server, which alerts the user that a data component is a problem field only when the user first provides a value for the data component. The invention provides that, if possible, the sync field scanner () automatically suggests to the user how to accommodate the problem field that occurs in one data store () but not in the data store ().
