Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatus and computer-readable mediums as discussed herein provide for a method for generating a dynamic electronic book for display in a multimedia player application including receiving information about a purchase by a consumer from a first remote computing device; accessing content associated with the received information; extracting characteristic data associated with the purchase from the received data; selecting content to be included in the electronic book from the accessed content based on the characteristic data; generating a dynamic configuration file including information identifying the selected content, information identifying at least one template page, and at least a portion of the received information; transmitting the generated dynamic configuration file to a remote device; receiving a request for content and the at least one template page identified in the dynamic configuration file; transmitting the content and the at least one template page in response to the request for display in the electronic book.

Claims (47)

1 . A method for generating a dynamic electronic book for display in a multimedia player application, comprising:

receiving information about a purchase by a consumer from a first remote computing device;

accessing content associated with the received information;

extracting characteristic data associated with the purchase from the received data;

selecting content to be included in the electronic book from the accessed content based on the characteristic data;

generating a dynamic configuration file including information identifying the selected content, information identifying at least one template page, and at least a portion of the received information;

transmitting the generated dynamic configuration file to a remote device;

receiving a request for content and the at least one template page identified in the dynamic configuration file;

transmitting the content and the at least one template page in response to the request for display in the electronic book.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein characteristic data includes information about the consumer.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the information associated with the consumer is acquired using plurality of process-based questions posed based on a survey presented to the consumer.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the information associated with the consumer is further enhanced through data mining.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the dynamic configuration establishes the order of the template pages for display.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic book includes selectable elements.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic book is generated based on the configuration file and displayed at a second remote computing device.

8 . An apparatus for generating a dynamic electronic book for display in a multimedia player application, comprising:

a memory, storing a set of instructions; and

a processor, configured to execute the instructions stored in memory, to

receive information about a purchase by a consumer from a first remote computing device;

access content associated with the received information;

extract characteristic data associated with the purchase from the received data;

select content to be included in the electronic book from the accessed content based on the characteristic data;

generate a dynamic configuration file including information identifying the selected content, information identifying at least one template page, and at least a portion of the received information;

transmit the generated dynamic configuration file to a remote device;

receive a request for content and the at least one template page identified in the dynamic configuration file; and

transmit the content and the at least one template page in response to the request for display in the electronic book.

9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein characteristic data includes information about the consumer.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the information associated with the consumer is acquired using plurality of process-based questions posed based on a survey presented to the consumer.

11 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the information associated with the consumer is further enhanced through data mining.

12 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the dynamic configuration establishes the order of the template pages for display.

13 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the electronic book includes selectable elements.

14 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the electronic book is generated based on the configuration file and displayed at a second remote computing device.

15 . A computer-readable medium, storing instructions, executed by a processor, to perform a method for generating a dynamic electronic book for display in a multimedia player application, the method comprising:

receiving information about a purchase by a consumer from a first remote computing device;

accessing content associated with the received information;

extracting characteristic data associated with the purchase from the received data;

selecting content to be included in the electronic book from the accessed content based on the characteristic data;

generating a dynamic configuration file including information identifying the selected content, information identifying at least one template page, and at least a portion of the received information;

transmitting the generated dynamic configuration file to a remote device;

receiving a request for content and the at least one template page identified in the dynamic configuration file;

transmitting the content and the at least one template page in response to the request for display in the electronic book.

16 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein characteristic data includes information about the consumer.

17 . The computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the information associated with the consumer is acquired using plurality of process-based questions posed based on a survey presented to the consumer.

18 . The computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the information associated with the consumer is further enhanced through data mining.

19 . The computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the dynamic configuration establishes the order of the template pages for display.

20 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the electronic book includes selectable elements.

21 . The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the electronic book is generated based on the configuration file and displayed at a second remote computing device.
