1. A method, comprising:
- establishing, at a wireless node, a service entry corresponding to a first service, wherein the first service is available at a first area;
determining, at the wireless node, the first service to not be available at a second area, wherein the wireless node has moved to the second area;
determining, at the wireless node, a second service to be similar to the first service, wherein the second service is available at the second area; and
modifying, at the wireless node, the service entry to correspond to the second service;
wherein the second service is considered to be similar to the first service when one or more data values associated with the first service are also associated with the second service,wherein similarity of the second service to the first service is specified when a threshold sum of point values for specified data values is met or exceeded,wherein point values are specified for at least match of title, match of network affiliation, match of genre, and match of unique identifier,wherein, when the wireless node has moved to the second area, one or more operations is performed, the one or more operations making use of received service listings data, andwherein the received service listings data comprises one or more of channel listings data, EPG data, ESG data, and/or ISG data.

Abstract
Systems and methods applicable, for instance, in services access. For example, a node and/or other computer that moves to another area may act to determine the availability of services to which service entries correspond, and/or the availability of similar services. As another example, a node and/or other computer that moves to another area may act to modify service entries.

10. A wireless node, comprising:
- a processor configured to;
establish, at the wireless node, a service entry corresponding to a first service, wherein the first service is available at a first area; determine, at the wireless node, the first service to not be available at a second area, wherein the wireless node has moved to the second area; determine, at the wireless node, a second service to be similar to the first service, wherein the second service is available at the second area; and modify, at the wireless node, the service entry to correspond to the second service, wherein the second service is considered to be similar to the first service when one or more data values associated with the first service are also associated with the second service, wherein similarity of the second service to the first service is specified when a threshold sum of point values for specified data values is met or exceeded, wherein point values are specified for at least match of title, match of network affiliation, match of genre, and match of unique identifier, wherein, when the wireless node has moved to the second area, one or more operations is performed, the one or more operations making use of received service listings data, and wherein the received service listings data comprises one or more of channel listings data, EPG data, ESG data, and/or ISG data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause a wireless node to:
-
establish, at the wireless node, a service entry corresponding to a first service, wherein the first service is available at a first area; determine, at the wireless node, the first service to not be available at a second area, wherein the wireless node has moved to the second area; determine, at the wireless node, a second service to be similar to the first service, wherein the second service is available at the second area; and modify, at the wireless node, the service entry to correspond to the second service, wherein the second service is considered to be similar to the first service when one or more data values associated with the first service are also associated with the second service, wherein similarity of the second service to the first service is specified when a threshold sum of point values for specified data values is met or exceeded, wherein point values are specified for at least match of title, match of network affiliation, match of genre, and match of unique identifier, wherein, when the wireless node has moved to the second area, one or more operations is performed, the one or more operations making use of received service listings data, and wherein the received service listings data comprises one or more of channel listings data, EPG data, ESG data, and/or ISG data.
