Abstract

A system for and method for displaying content with spatial and temporal components at an electronic reader device is presented. The system and method comprise an acquisition module for receiving a plurality of electronic content from one or more content sources via a network, a storage module for storing the plurality of electronic content, a selection module for selecting at least some of the plurality of electronic content for presentation, and a presentation module for presenting the selected electronic content at the electronic reader device, wherein the presented electronic content comprises a spatially and temporally persistent component and a spatially persistent and temporally transient component.

Claims (29)

1 . A system for displaying content with spatial and temporal components at an electronic reader device, comprising:

an acquisition module for receiving a plurality of electronic content from one or more content sources via a network;

a storage module for storing the plurality of electronic content;

a selection module for selecting at least some of the plurality of electronic content for presentation; and

a presentation module for presenting the selected electronic content at the electronic reader device, wherein the presented electronic content comprises a spatially and temporally persistent component and a spatially persistent and temporally transient component.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the electronic content comprises advertisement content.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the presentation module fits the electronic content in an entire display portion of the electronic reader device.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the presentation module fits the electronic content in at least a display portion of the electronic reader device.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the spatially and temporally persistent component is related in content to the spatially persistent and temporally transient component.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the spatially and temporally persistent component presents electronic content in a persistent frame.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the spatially persistent and temporally transient component optimizes presentation of the selection electronic content.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the spatially persistent and temporally transient component dynamically presents the electronic content.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the selected electronic content is presented in a sequential order.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the selected electronic content is presented in a random order.

11 . A method for displaying content with spatial and temporal components at an electronic reader device, comprising:

receiving, at an acquisition module using at least one computer processor, a plurality of electronic content from one or more content sources via a network;

storing, at a storage module using the at least one computer processor, the plurality of electronic content;

selecting, at a selection module using at least one computer processor, at least some of the plurality of electronic content for presentation; and

transmitting, by a presentation module using the at least one computer processor, the selected electronic content at the electronic reader device, wherein the presented electronic content comprises a spatially and temporally persistent component and a spatially persistent and temporally transient component.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the electronic content comprises advertisement content.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the presentation module fits the electronic content in an entire display portion of the electronic reader device.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the presentation module fits the electronic content in at least a display portion of the electronic reader device.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the spatially and temporally persistent component is related in content to the spatially persistent and temporally transient component.

16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the spatially and temporally persistent component presents electronic content in a persistent frame.

17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the spatially persistent and temporally transient component optimizes presentation of the selection electronic content.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the spatially persistent and temporally transient component dynamically presents the electronic content.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the selected electronic content is presented in a sequential order.

20 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the selected electronic content is presented in a random order.

21 . A computer readable medium comprising code to perform the acts of the method of claim 12 .
