DEPLOYING MOBILE DEVICE DISPLAY SCREEN IN RELATION TO E-BOOK SIGNATURE

1 . A method executed in a processor of a computing device, the computing device further including a primary and a secondary touch screen displays, a memory storing instructions and a digital content item, the method comprising:

receiving a request to access the digital content item stored in the memory;

identifying an e-book signature associated with the digital content item;

inferring that the digital content item is an e-book based on the e-book signature, the e-book having content displayable according to a sequence of digitally constructed pages;

activating the secondary display screen for operation in response to the inference that the digital content item is an e-book; and

transitioning operation of the computing device to the secondary display screen by rendering the e-book content for reading thereon.

2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the primary display screen comprises a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen.

3 . The method of claim 1 wherein the primary display screen comprises a light emitting diode (LED) screen.

4 . The method of claim Therein the secondary display screen is a bi-stable e-ink display screen.

5 . The method of claim 1 further comprising de-activating the primary display screen for operation while rendering the e-book content for reading on the secondary display screen.

6 . The method of claim 1 wherein the content of the e-book is selected from the group consisting of an e-magazine and an e-comic.

7 . The method of claim 1 wherein the e-book signature is identified from a metadata record associated with the e-book.

8 . The method of claim 7 wherein the metadata record comprises at least one of book content summary information, author information, a book title, a publication date, a language of the e-book, and a book volume series indicator.

9 . The method of claim 7 wherein the metadata record relates to at least one of an epigraph, a biographical page of an author, a table of contents, a book review, a book dedication, a foreword, author acknowledgements, an introduction, and a copyright notice within a plurality of cluster pages of the e-book.

10 . The method of claim 7 wherein the metadata record includes an imagery representation associated with a counterpart physical paper book cover.

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

receiving a request for the digital content item stored in the memory;

identifying an e-book signature associated with the digital content item;

inferring that the digital content item is an e-book based on the e-book signature, the e-book having content displayable according to a sequence of digitally constructed pages;

activating the secondary display screen for operation in response to the inference of an e-book; and

transitioning operation of the computing device to the secondary display screen by rendering the e-book content for reading thereon.

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 primary and a secondary touch screen displays; and

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

receive a request for a digital content item stored in the memory;

identify an e-book signature associated with the digital content item;

infer that the digital content item is an e-book based on the e-book signature, the e-book having content displayable according to a sequence of digitally constructed pages;

activate the secondary display screen for operation in response to an inference of an e-book; and

transition operation of the computing device to the secondary display screen by rendering the e-book content for reading thereon,

13 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the primary display screen comprises a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen.

14 . The computing device of claim 12 Therein the secondary display screen is an e-ink display screen.

15 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the secondary display screen is a bi-stable display screen.

16 . The computing device of claim 12 further comprising de-activating the primary display screen for operation in rendering a page of e-book content.

17 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the e-book signature is identified from a metadata record associated with the e-book.

18 . The computing device of claim 17 wherein the metadata record comprises at least one of book content summary information, author information, a book title, a publication date, a language of the e-book, and a book volume series indicator.

19 . The computing device of claim 17 wherein the metadata record relates to at least one of an epigraph, a biographical page of an author, a table of contents, a book review, a book dedication, a foreword, author acknowledgements, an introduction, and a copyright notice within a plurality of cluster pages of the e-book.

20 . The computing device of claim 17 wherein the metadata record includes an imagery representation associated with a counterpart physical paper book cover.
