Abstract

A method and system for providing a term-occurrence pagination interface white reading digital content (e-reading) on a computer device having a touchscreen display The method comprises receiving a term occurrence search request at a text portion of the e-book content, the text portion comprising the term; rendering a term occurrence first page from the sequence of pages of e-book content at a first portion of the display screen, the term occurrence first page being repaginated to fit within the first portion of the display screen; presenting a term occurrence pagination interface at a second portion of the display screen; receiving, at the term occurrence interface, a navigation request for transitioning to an term occurrence adjacent page of the sequence of pages of e-book content and repaginating the term occurrence adjacent page within the sequence of pages of e-book content for display replacement of the term occurrence first page at the first portion of the display screen.

Claims (38)

1 . A method executed in a processor of a computing device, the computing device further including a memory storing instructions and a display screen having touch functionality, the display screen rendering an e-book content including text formatted in a sequence of digitally constructed pages, the method comprising:

receiving a term occurrence search request at a text portion of the e-book content, the text portion comprising the term;

rendering a term occurrence first page from a sequence of pages of e-book content at a first portion of the display screen, the term occurrence first page being repaginated to fit within the first portion of the display screen;

presenting a term occurrence pagination interface at a second portion of the display screen;

receiving, at the term occurrence interface, a navigation request for transitioning to a term occurrence adjacent page of the sequence of pages of e-book content; and

repaginating the term occurrence adjacent page within the sequence of pages of e-book content for display in replacement of the term occurrence first page at the first portion of the display screen.

2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the repaginating comprises reflowing an ending text portion of a page of the sequence of digitally constructed pages onto a next page.

3 . The method of claim 1 wherein the navigation request comprises a touch action received at the term occurrence interface.

4 . The method of claim 1 wherein the navigation request comprises a swipe action received at the term occurrence interface.

5 . The method of claim 1 wherein the term occurrence search request is received by way of a long press upon the term.

6 . The method of claim 1 wherein the term occurrence search request is received by way of a highlighting action performed upon the term.

7 . The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving a page transition action performed at the first portion of the display screen.

8 . The method of claim 7 wherein the page transition action received at the first portion of the display screen is one of a page advance action and a page backward action.

9 . The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving a threshold number of term occurrences for rendering the term occurrence adjacent page.

10 . The method of claim 1 wherein the term is rendered visually distinctly within the term occurrence first page at the first portion of the display screen.

11 . A computer-readable medium that stores instructions for a computing device, the computing device including a processor, a memory and a display screen having touch functionality, the display screen rendering an e-book content including text formatted in a sequence of digitally constructed pages, the instructions being executable by the processor to cause the computing device to perform operations that include:

receiving a term occurrence search request at a text portion of the e-book content, the text portion comprising the term;

rendering a term occurrence first page from a sequence of pages of e-book content at a first portion of the display screen, the term occurrence first page being repaginated to fit within the first portion of the display screen;

presenting a term occurrence pagination interface at a second portion of the display screen;

receiving, at the term occurrence interface, a navigation request for transitioning to a term occurrence adjacent page of the sequence of pages of e-book content; and

repaginating the term occurrence adjacent page within the sequence of pages of the e-book content for display in replacement of the term occurrence first page at the first portion of the display screen.

12 . A computing device comprising:

a memory that stores a set of instructions;

a display screen having touch functionality;

a processor that access the instructions in memory, the processor further configured to:

receive a term occurrence search request at a text portion of an e-book content, the text portion comprising the term, e-book content including text formatted in a sequence of digitally constructed pages;

render a term occurrence first page from a sequence of pages of e-book content at a first portion of the display screen, the term occurrence first page being repaginated to fit within the first portion of the display screen;

present a term occurrence pagination interface at a second portion of the display screen;

receive, at the term occurrence interface, a navigation request for transitioning to a term occurrence adjacent page of the sequence of pages of e-book content; and

repaginate the term occurrence adjacent page within the sequence of pages of e-book content for display in replacement of the term occurrence first page at the first portion of the display screen.

13 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the repaginating comprises reflowing an ending text portion of a page of the sequence of digitally constructed pages onto a next page.

14 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the navigation request comprises a ouch action received at the term occurrence interface.

15 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the navigation request comprises a swipe action received at the term occurrence interface.

16 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the term occurrence search request is received by way of a long press upon the term.

17 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the term occurrence search request is received by way of a highlighting action performed upon the term.

18 . The computing device of claim 12 further comprising receiving a page transition action performed at the first portion of the display screen.

19 . The computing device of claim 18 wherein the page transition action received at the first portion of the display screen is one of a page advance action and a page backward action.

20 . The computing device of claim 12 further comprising receiving a threshold number of term occurrences fur rendering the term occurrence adjacent page.
