Abstract

A method and system for deploying a display screen of an electronic personal display device in rendering digital content items. The device includes a processor, primary and secondary touch screen displays, and a memory storing instructions. The method comprises receiving a request for accessing an e-book stored in a designated container of an e-library, the container designating the e-book for reading via the secondary touch screen display, the e-book having content displayable in a series of digitally constructed pages, activating the secondary display screen for operation, and transitioning operation of the computing device to the secondary display screen by rendering the e-book content for reading thereon

Claims (32)

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

receiving a request for accessing an e-book stored in a designated container of an e-library, the container designating the e-book for reading via the secondary touch screen display, the e-book having content displayable in a series of digitally constructed pages;

activating the secondary display screen for operation; 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 1 wherein 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 e-book content is one of an e-magazine and an e-comic.

7 . The method of claim 1 wherein the designated container comprises the e-library.

8 . The method of claim 1 wherein the designated container comprises a next-read queue of e-books within the e-library.

9 . The method of claim 1 wherein the designated container comprises a collection of designated ones of digital content items within the e-library.

10 . The method of claim 1 wherein the e-library is accessibly hosted at a cloud-based server system.

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, the instructions being executable by the processor to cause the computing device to perform operations that include:

receiving a request for accessing an e-book stored in a designated container of an e-library, the container designating the e-book for reading via the secondary touch screen display, the e-book having content displayable in a series of digitally constructed pages;

activating the secondary display screen for operation; 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 accessing an e-book stored in a designated container of an e-library, the container designating the e-book for reading via the secondary touch screen display, the e-book having content displayable in a series of digitally constructed pages;

activate the secondary display screen for operation; 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 wherein the secondary display screen is an e-ink display screen.

15 . The computing device of claim 12 Therein the second. y 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 the pages of e-book content.

17 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the designated container comprises the e-library.

18 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the designated container comprises a next-read queue of e-books within the e-library.

19 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the designated container comprises a collection of designated ones of digital content items within the e-library.

20 . The computing device of claim 12 wherein the e-library is accessibly hosted at a cloud-based server system.
