Abstract

A method executed in a processor of a computing device for redacting content is provided. The method includes receiving a request for content redaction at a current page being displayed, the current page having a first text portion and a second text portion, reconstructing the current page by redacting at least a part of the first text portion while displaying the second text and in response to user input indicating a request to show redacted content, displaying at least a part of the redacted first text portion.

Claims (42)

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

receiving a request for content redaction at a current page being displayed, the current page having a first text portion and a second text portion;

reconstructing the current page by redacting at least a part of said first text portion while displaying said second text; and

in response to user input indicating a request to show redacted content, displaying at least a part of said redacted first text portion.

2 . The method of claim 1 wherein said user indicates said request to show said redacted content by selecting an icon along a bottom edge of the reconstructed current page as displayed on the display screen.

3 . The method of claim 1 wherein the content of the current page further includes one or more images interspersed among the text therein.

4 . The method of claim 1 wherein the content redaction comprises three to five words of redacted text.

5 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:

determining statistical information associated said user input indicating said request to show redacted content.

6 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving indication said user selected a hot button requesting said redacted content to be shown.

7 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:

determining statistical information associated said user speaking words associated with said redacted content.

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

receiving a request for content redaction at a current page being displayed, the current page haying a first text portion and a second text portion;

reconstructing the current page by redacting at least a part of said first text portion while displaying said second text; and

in response to user input indicating a request to show redacted content, displaying at least a part of said redacted first text portion.

9 . The computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein said user indicates said request to show said redacted content by selecting an icon along a bottom edge of the reconstructed current page as displayed on the display screen.

10 . The computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein the content of the current page further includes one or more images interspersed among the text therein.

11 . The computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein the content redaction comprises three to five words of redacted text.

12 . The computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein the method further comprises:

determining statistical information associated with said user input indicating said request to show redacted content.

13 . The computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein the method further comprises:

receiving indication said user selected a hot button requesting said redacted content to be shown.

14 . The computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein the method further comprises:

determining statistical information associated with said user speaking words associated with said redacted content.

15 . A computing device comprising:

a memory that stores a set of instructions;

a display screen rendering e-book content including text formatted according to a series of digitally constructed pages;

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

receiving a request for content redaction at a current page being displayed, the current page having a first text portion and a second text portion;

reconstructing the current page by redacting at least a part of said first text portion while displaying said second text; and

in response to user input indicating a request to show redacted content, displaying at least a part of said redacted first text portion.

16 . The computing device of claim 15 wherein said user indicates said request to show said redacted content by selecting an icon along a bottom edge of the reconstructed current page as displayed on the display screen.

17 . The computing device of claim 15 wherein the content of the current page further includes one or more images interspersed among the text therein.

18 . The computing device of claim 15 wherein the content redaction comprises three to five words of redacted text.

19 . The computing device of claim 15 wherein said processor further configured to:

determine statistical information associated with said user input indicating said request to show redacted content.

20 . The computing device of claim 15 wherein said processor is further configured to:

receive indication said user selected a hot button requesting said redacted content to be shown.

21 . The computing device of claim 15 wherein said processor is further configured to:

determine statistical information associated with said user speaking words associated with said redacted content.
