METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR E-READING PAGE TRANSITION EFFECT
A method executed in a processor of a computing device for providing a page transition effect is provided. The method includes receiving input defining a virtual page material type for an e-book, receiving a request for audio enhancement corresponding to page turning the e-book, tracking progress of a user through a current page and in response to the user turning the current page, generating a sound corresponding to the virtual page type material.
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 input defining a virtual page material type for an e-book;
receiving a request for audio enhancement corresponding to page turning said e-book;
tracking progress of a user through a current page; and
in response to said user turning said current page, generating a sound corresponding to said virtual page type material.
2 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
receiving input defining said virtual page material type for said e-book according to a page type used when said e-book was originally printed.
3 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
tracking progress of said user through said e-book; and
adjusting a volume of said sound according to said progress.
4 . The method of claim 3 further comprising:
generating a lower volume of said sound at a beginning of said e-book.
5 . The method of claim 3 further comprising:
generating a louder volume of said sound at a end of said e-book.
6 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
receiving input defining said page material type as coated or uncoated paper.
7 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
receiving input defining said page material type as offset paper, parchment, papyrus, onionskin, bond paper, India paper, manila paper, newsprint, or linen.
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 input defining a virtual page material type for an e-book;
receiving a request for audio enhancement corresponding to page turning said e-book;
tracking progress of a user through a current page; and
in response to said user turning said current page, generating a sound corresponding to said virtual page type material.
9 . The computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein said operations further include:
receiving input defining said virtual page material type for said e-book according to a page type used when said e-book was originally printed.
10 . The computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein said operations further include:
tracking progress of said user through said e-book; and
adjusting a volume of said sound according to said progress.
11 . The computer-readable medium of claim 10 wherein said operations further include:
generating a lower volume of said sound at a beginning of said e-book.
12 . The computer-readable medium of claim 10 wherein said operations further include:
generating a louder volume of said sound at a end of said e-book.
13 . The computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein said operations further include:
receiving input defining said page material type as coated or uncoated paper.
14 . The computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein said operations further include:
receiving input defining said page material type as offset paper, parchment, papyrus, onionskin, bond paper, India paper, manila paper, newsprint, or linen.
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 perform a method including:
receiving input defining a virtual page material type for an e-book;
receiving a request for audio enhancement corresponding to page turning said e-book;
tracking progress of a user through a current page; and
in response to said user turning said current page, generating a sound corresponding to said virtual page type material.
16 . The computing device of claim 15 wherein said method further comprises:
receiving input defining said virtual page material type for said e-book according to a page type used when said e-book was originally printed.
17 . The computing device of claim 15 wherein said method further comprises:
tracking progress of said user through said e-book; and
adjusting a volume of said sound according to said progress.
18 . The computing device of claim 17 wherein said method further comprises:
generating a lower volume of said sound at a beginning of said e-book.
19 . The computing device of claim 17 wherein said method further comprises:
generating a louder volume of said sound at a end of said e-book.
20 . The computing device of claim 17 wherein said method further comprises:
receiving input defining said page material type as coated or uncoated paper.
21 . The computing device of claim 15 wherein said method further comprises:
receiving input defining said page material type as offset paper, parchment, papyrus, onionskin, bond paper, India paper, manila paper, newsprint, or linen.
