First Claim
1. A method for receiving, displaying and interacting with daily diversion content on a mobile electronic device, comprising:
- automatically and repeatedly throughout a day receiving a broadcast transmission that includes the daily diversion channel content encoded on a communication signal that is broadcast to many electronic devices at predetermined times such that each of the electronic devices receives the same daily diversion channel content;
wherein the predetermined times are based on a broadcast schedule that is predetermined and is not affected by the mobile electronic device;
wherein the daily diversion content is received as records;
wherein the daily diversion content is automatically broadcast throughout a day and a night according to a predetermined schedule; and
wherein the predetermined schedule specifies that the daily diversion channel content is automatically broadcast more frequently during the night and automatically broadcast less frequently during the day;
wherein the daily diversion channel content is not personalized when it is broadcast;
wherein the broadcast transmission includes public messages and private messages;
wherein the public messages are decodable by each of the many electronic devices receiving the broadcast and where in the private messages within the broadcast are decodable only by a single electronic device receiving the broadcast;
filtering the daily diversion channel content according to pre-defined user preferences;
wherein the pre-defined preferences are received on the mobile electronic device through the broadcast and wherein the received pre-defined preferences are stored on the mobile electronic device after being received;
storing at least a portion of the filtered daily diversion content on the electronic device;
associating the daily diversion channel content with at least one channel application on the electronic device;
decoding the received records on the mobile electronic device;
wherein decoding the received records includes associating an index value with an expanded name when one of the records is encoded as an index;
setting a current view associated with the daily diversion content; and
displaying the current view on a display of the electronic device.
