METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TERM OCCURRENCE PAGINATION INTERFACE
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.
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.
