METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR E-READING BOOK CLOSE EFFECT
A method executed in a processor of a computing device for providing an e-book close effect is provided. The method includes receiving input defining a virtual weight for an e-book, receiving a request for audio enhancement corresponding to closing the e-book and in response to the user closing the e-book, generating a sound corresponding to the virtual weight.
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-hook content including text formatted according to a series of digitally constructed pages, the method comprising:
receiving input defining a virtual weight for an e-book;
receiving a request for audio enhancement corresponding to closing said e-book; and
in response to said user closing said e-book, generating a sound corresponding to said virtual weight.
2 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
receiving input defining said virtual weight for said e-book according to an actual weight en said e-book was originally printed.
3 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
tracking progress of said user through said e-hook; and
adjusting a volume of said sound according to said progress.
4 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
generating a lower volume of said sound for a low virtual weight.
5 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
generating a louder volume of said sound for a high virtual weight.
6 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
receiving input defining a page material type for said e-book.
7 . The method of claim 6 further comprising:
adjusting said sound according to said page material type.
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 weight for an e-book;
receiving a request for audio enhancement corresponding to closing said e-book; and
in response to said user closing said e-book, generating a sound corresponding to said virtual weight.
9 . computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein said operations further include:
receiving input defining said virtual weight for said e-book according to an actual weight 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 8 wherein said operations further include:
generating a lower volume of said sound for a low virtual weight.
12 . The computer-readable medium of claim 8 wherein said operations further include:
generating a louder volume of said sound for a high virtual weight.
13 . The computer-readable medium of Cahn 8 wherein said operations further include:
receiving input defining a page material type for said e-book.
14 . The computer-readable medium of claim 13 wherein said operations further include:
adjusting said sound according to said page material type.
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 weight for an e-book;
receiving a request for audio enhancement corresponding to closing said e-book: and
in response to said user closing said e-book, generating a sound corresponding to said virtual weight.
16 . The computing device of claim 15 wherein said method further includes:
receiving input defining said virtual weight for said e-book according to an actual weight when said e-book was originally printed.
17 . The computing device of claim 15 where said method further includes:
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 15 wherein said method further includes:
generating a lower volume of said sound for a low virtual weight.
19 . The computing device of claim 15 wherein said method further includes:
generating a louder volume of said sound for a high virtual weight.
20 . The computing device of claim 15 wherein said method further includes:
receiving input defining a page material type for said e-book.
21 . The computing device of claim 20 wherein said operations further include:
adjusting said sound according to said page material type.
