Methods and systems that provide enhanced personal video recorder (“PVR”) and interactive television program guide (“IPG”) functionality are provided. An interactive television application (“application”) may be implemented to provide such functionality. The application may be used to display a list of PVR recordings, to schedule recordings to a PVR, to configure recordings, to view a list of scheduled recordings, to configure recording settings, or to select delete priority settings for recordings. The application may integrate pay-per-view and PVR functionality. The application may send user notifications for changes that are to be made to the recording content of a PVR. Live programming may be buffered by the application using a straight buffers that are created for each new program. Parallel buffers for concurrent programs may be implemented using multiple tuners. Straight buffers may be used in managing or controlling the flow of programming. Television content may be automatically paused when a user is engaged in using the application. Multiple IPGs for different users of a PVR may be implemented. Other PVR related features are also provided.

A packet forwarding device with a shaping unit, which is provided with queues for storing high priority packets and queues for storing low priority packets. The shaping unit transmits a packet read out from the non priority queue by giving a high priority when no transmit-wait packet exist in the priority queue even though the time to transmit a packet from the priority queue is reached.

A communication system (10) for providing dynamic management of a plurality of contacts (215) includes a messaging server (120) and a plurality of communication devices (75). The messaging server (120) dynamically manages the plurality of contacts (215) for each messaging user (205) by using a plurality of contact information (225) for each contact (220) and a plurality of user settings (210) of the messaging user (205) to determine a current priority setting (280) for the contact (220). Each of the plurality of communication devices (75) are used by at least one messaging user (205) for receiving the plurality of contacts (215) and the plurality of contact information (225) from the messaging server (120).

First and second wireless transceiver units operate in the same portion of the RF spectrum. An arbitration device controls when the first and second wireless transceiver units can operate. An interface connects the first transceiver unit to the arbitration device and receives requests for operation. The interface permits the transceiver unit o use one of N possible priority levels for requests. The transceiver associates a transceiver priority level to a series of packets which is chosen from a range of M possible priority levels. The transceiver unit sends a sequence of requests to operate to the arbitration device, each request in the sequence having a priority level chosen from the range of N possible priority levels. The average value of the priority levels used in the sequence depends on the associated transceiver priority level.

A personal hub for managing notifications across mobile devices and for separating the notification from the content. By separately managing the manner of notification provided to the user from its associated content, the personal hub may give a user more control over a number of mobile devices by allowing the user to escalate or dismiss different notifications across one or more mobile devices. Notifications may be managed based on device settings, priority settings, privilege settings, urgency flags, and/or other factors. In an embodiment, the user may receive an unobtrusive user-perceptible notification of an incoming communication from a personal hub that is less obtrusive than notifications which may be generated by the mobile device receiving the incoming communication.

A base station of the present invention performs transmission power control quickly with maintaining communication quality in mobile communications systems, by setting up priority about transmission power control and performing transmission power control sequentially from a channel with a high priority. A channel priority setting unit outputs priority information indicating priority for transmission power control about a plurality of channel information. A power calculation unit outputs total power information of all channels about the plurality of channel information. A power adjustment unit performs power adjustment to the channel information selected on the basis of the priority information when the total power information has larger value than maximum transmission power information.

A method, system, and program for controlling throughput of message requests in a messaging system is provided. A message request is received from a sending user. A priority requirement is determined for the message request according to priority settings designated by a receiving user for whom the message request is intended. Output of the message request to the receiving user is adjusted according to whether the message request meets the priority requirement, such that throughput of the message request to the receiving user is controlled. In addition, output of a message indicating that the receiving user is available is adjusted according to said priority requirement.

When a user wants to operate a device, if electric power is being used at a level such that a circuit breaker will shut off, he cannot use the device he wants to use unless he himself intentionally reduces the electric power being used for the other devices to increase the amount of usable power. A power control device (3) is provided with a priority setting unit (16) that is capable of setting usage priorities for household devices connected by wire or wirelessly or for adaptors connected to the household devices. A household device or an adaptor connected to the household device operates within the usable power resulting from an inquiry to the power control device (3). When there is no excess in usable power over the power required in the inquiry, the power control device (3) reduces the power used by a device which has a lower priority than the device which made the inquiry in order to allow the device with the higher priority to be used.

The invention relates to a navigation apparatus and a voice broadcast method thereof, the method comprises the steps: storing voice classification information and priority setting information corresponding to voice types; generating new voice; continuing the following step in case of judging that the voice is currently broadcasted; and in case of judging that the priority of the type which the new voice belongs to is higher than that of the type which the voice currently broadcasted belongs to, stopping broadcasting the voice which is currently broadcasted and broadcasting the new voice. According to the technical solution of the invention, the situation in which two or more than two voices are broadcasted simultaneously is prevented at any moment, thus avoiding the circumstance that disordered voices, which are resulted from simultaneous broadcast of a plurality of voices, cause inconvenience to users.
