Abstract

A method and system for providing an expression randomizer for selected portions of e-book content rendered on a device display screen, with an interface therefore. The method, executed in a processor of the device, comprises receiving, at the touch screen display, a selection of an expression within the content of e-book, the expression comprising a plurality of characters; generating a randomized version of plurality of characters of the expression; receiving an action, at the touch screen display, to create a re-arranged version from the randomized version by re-arranging a sequence at least one character within the randomized version; and presenting the selected expression and the re-arranged version within a digitally repaginated content page of the e-book at the touch screen display.

Claims (35)

1 . A method executed in a processor of a computing device, the computing device further including a touch screen display, a memory storing instructions and an e-hook having content displayable according to a series of digitally constructed pages, the method comprising:

receiving, at the touch screen display, a selection of an expression within the content of e-book, the expression comprising a plurality of characters;

generating a randomized version of plurality of characters of the expression;

receiving an action, at the touch screen display, to create a re-arranged version from the randomized version by re-arranging a sequence at least one character within the randomized version; and

presenting the selected expression and the re-arranged version within a digitally repaginated content page of the e-book at the touch screen display.

2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the e-book comprises a textbook.

3 . The method of claim 1 wherein at least a subset of plurality of characters of the expression comprise text characters.

4 . The method of claim 3 wherein the text characters are grouped into words.

5 . The method of claim 1 wherein at least a subset of plurality of characters of the expression comprise symbol characters.

6 . The method of claim 5 wherein the symbol characters are arranged into one of a physical equation and a mathematical equation.

7 . The method of claim 1 wherein the re-arranged version comprises a reversion to a sequence of characters of the selected expression.

8 . The method of claim 7 wherein the at least one character of the randomized version is re-arranged in a sequence prior to the jumbling.

9 . The method of claim 1 wherein the selected expression and the randomized version are presented in respectively different visual formats within the digitally repaginated content of the e-book at the display screen.

10 . The method of claim 9 wherein the different visual formats comprise at least one of a display illumination level, a character size, a character color, a character font type, and a pulsating character aspect.

11 . A computer-readable medium that stores instructions and an e-book for a computing device, the computing device including a processor and a memory storing instructions and an e-book having digital content, the instructions being executable by the processor to cause the computing device to perform operations that include:

receiving, at the touch screen display, a selection of an expression within the content of e-book, the expression comprising a plurality of characters;

generating a randomized version of plurality of characters of the expression;

receiving an action, at the touch screen display, to create a re-arranged version from the randomized version by re-arranging a sequence at least one character within the randomized version; and

presenting the selected expression and the re-arranged version within a digitally repaginated content page of the e-book at the touch screen display.

12 . A computing device comprising:

a memory that stores a set of instructions and an e-book having digital content arranged in a series of digitally constructed pages;

a touch screen display; and

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

receive, at the touch screen display, a selection of an expression within the content of e-book, the expression comprising a plurality of characters;

generate a randomized version of plurality of characters of the expression;

receive an action, at the touch screen display, to create a re-arranged version from the randomized version by re-arranging a sequence at least one character within the randomized version; and

present the selected expression and the re-arranged version within a digitally repaginated content page of the e-book at the touch screen display.

13 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein at least a subset of plurality of characters of the expression comprise text characters.

14 . The computing device of claim 13 wherein the text characters are grouped into words.

15 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein at least a subset of plurality of characters of the expression comprise symbol characters.

16 . The computing device of claim 15 wherein the symbol characters are arranged into one of a physical equation and a mathematical equation.

17 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the re-arranged version comprises a reversion to a sequence of characters of the selected expression.

18 . The computing device of claim 17 wherein the at least one character of the randomized version is re-arranged in a sequence prior to the jumbling.

19 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the selected expression and the randomized version are presented in respectively different visual formats within the digitally repaginated content of the e-book at the display screen.

20 . The computing device of claim 19 wherein the different visual formats comprise at least one of a display illumination level, a character size, a character color, a character font type, and a pulsating character aspect.
