The present disclosure is directed towards conducting a search for content and results using a user interface. A number of graphical objects () and filters are displayed where a search query is generated in response to a user gesture () that selects a graphical object and filter. The filters shown can change depending on various factors that impact what filters are selected from a group of filters ().

Visual search and recommendation user interface and apparatus

A user interface is used to assign different devices and device types to media services where the number of different devices and device types that are capable of being assigned is determined by access privilege information corresponding to such media services. When a number of devices of a specific type are assigned where such a number exceeds a limit specified in the access privilege information, the assignment of additional devices of that specific type is halted.

Method and apparatus for assigning devices to a media service

Event sounds for a multimedia system are assigned statically and/or dynamically to an event based on internal and/or external events and the like. An associator associates a sound to an event based on these factors. User related information that is implicit and/or explicit can also be used to determine an association between an event sound and an event. A controller controls which sound is played back when a particular event occurs based on the event sound association. Probabilities related to a user's preferences can also be utilized to determine which sound is played back during an occurrence of an event.
