Abstract

A user interface method for textually biased flow. The method includes displaying a section of an article of a document on a screen of the handheld device, and receiving an input from a user of the handheld device. The method further includes interpreting the input as an intention to change and to render a different section of the article, and rendering the different section of the article without interruption from an intervening section not related to the article.

Claims (35)

1 . A user interface method for textually biased flow, comprising:

displaying a section of an article of a document on a screen of the handheld device;

receiving an input from a user of the handheld device;

interpreting the input as an intention to change and to render a different section of the article; and

rendering the different section of the article without interruption from an intervening section not related to the article.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the screen of the handheld device is a touchscreen.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the document comprises a magazine and the section comprises part of a page of the magazine.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the intervening section not related to the article comprises a plurality of pages of the document.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the intervening section not related to the article comprises an advertisement, and wherein the advertisement is displayed temporarily to maintain a user awareness.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the advertisement can be returned to the display upon a back swipe input of the user.

8 . A non-transitory computer readable memory having computer readable code which when executed by a computer system causes the computer system to implement a textually biased flow method on a handheld device, comprising:

displaying a section of an article of a document on a screen of the handheld device;

receiving an input from a user of the handheld device;

interpreting the input as an intention to change and to render a different section of the article; and

rendering the different section of the article without interruption from an intervening section not related to the article.

9 . The computer readable media of claim 8 , wherein the screen of the handheld device is a touchscreen.

10 . The computer readable media of claim 8 , wherein the document comprises a magazine and the section comprises part of a page of the magazine.

15 . A handheld device, comprising:

a system memory;

a central processor unit coupled to the system memory; and

a graphics processor unit communicatively coupled to the central processor unit; and a touchscreen, wherein the central processor unit executes computer readable code and causes the handheld device to implement a method for a textually biased flow, comprising:

displaying a section of an article of a document on a screen of the handheld device;

receiving an input from a user of the handheld device;

interpreting the input as an intention to change and to render a different section of the article; and

rendering the different section of the article without interruption from an intervening section not related to the article.

16 . The handheld device of claim 15 , wherein the screen of the handheld device is a touchscreen.

17 . The handheld device of claim 15 , wherein the document comprises a magazine and the section comprises part of a page of the magazine.

18 . The handheld device of claim 15 , wherein the intervening section not related to the article comprises an advertisement.

19 . The handheld device of claim 15 , wherein the intervening section not related to the article comprises a plurality of pages of the document.
