A system and method of social interaction includes receiving interaction information for an interaction created by a first user of an electronic content work, the interaction information comprising an identification number of a portion of the electronic content work associated with the interaction. The system and method includes storing the received interaction information. The system and method also includes receiving a request from a second user requesting interaction information for a requested portion of the electronic content work. The system and method also includes sending the received interaction information in response to determining that the identification number associated with the received interaction information matches the identification in the request for interaction information.

Object oriented interactions

One example modular electronic device of the present disclosure includes a frame and a plurality of electronic modules which are respectively removably received at a plurality of bays formed by the frame. The modular electronic device can enable a user to directly operate, interact with, remove, or otherwise manipulate the electronic modules without requiring the user to navigate through or otherwise interact with a graphical user interface. In particular, the modular electronic device can enable the user to operate, remove, or otherwise interact with the electronic modules by simply touching or pressing a particular electronic module.

Modular electronic device

Systems and methods for creating, editing and publishing cross-platform interactive digital content works include a content management component configured to store portions of a digital content work and to implement version control of the digital content work; a defect tracking component configured to store a defect record related to a stored portion of the digital content work; a publication pipeline component configured to format the digital content work for publication; and a integration component configured to present a graphical user interface which allows for editing the stored portions of the digital content work, editing the defect record, and instructing the publication pipeline to format the digital content work for publication.

Embodiments are provided for conversion of content to formats suitable for digital distributions. In some embodiments, a transformation of selected markup elements within a content item into semantic markup elements is performed, where the transformation provides receipt of a selection indicative of a mapping between a chosen markup element and a pattern element of a defined pattern, the defined pattern defining at least one of a semantic markup tag and a semantic attribute for each pattern element, and processing of the transformation by assigning to the chosen markup element at least one of a semantic markup tag and a semantic attribute defined for the pattern element mapped to the chosen markup element.

Conversion of content to formats suitable for digital distributions thereof

A user interface for presenting a set of related pages of an electronic content work for view at the same time. The pages are sized according to a target format for presentation of the electronic content work, and may also be formatted according to user-defined font and zoom criteria. Each of the related pages comprises a media object, for example a markup language object. Responsive to user manipulation of presentation criterion for the set of related pages, the set of related pages is reformatted and so presented in near real-time. In some instances, a user may manipulate controls of the user interface to isolate a content object included within the set of related pages, have information regarding that content object presented and even edit the content object in-line with the present view.

Display screen with transitional graphical user interface

Display screen with a transitional graphical user interface

A user interface for a mobile computing device includes three distinct display areas, one for presentation of an image and one or more interactive elements, a second for display of a linearly scrollable sequence of content elements, each of which is associated with a corresponding one of the interactive elements, and a third for display of soft keys, each of which corresponds to a respective one of the interactive elements. The soft keys and the interactive elements are responsive to user input so as to cause the image displayed in the first display area to feature prominently a portion thereof corresponding to the interactive element associated with the user input and the content element displayed within the second display area to be that associated with the same interactive element.

Mobile computing device user interface for interactive electronic works

A method for use with an electronic reading device comprising automatically fetching electronic media content and automatically and dynamically sequencing portions of the electronic media content for display on an electronic reading device. Optionally, the electronic media content can be automatically and dynamically divided into the portions that are then sequenced. Optionally, the electronic media content can be re-sequenced to reflect user preferences and needs. Various methods for recognizing and altering the display of the electronic reading device quickly and efficiently are disclosed.

Methods for automatically retrieving electronic media content items from a server based upon a reading list and facilitating presentation of media objects of the electronic media content items in sequences not constrained by an original order thereof

Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums for creating and presenting an outline view, the outline view including a first user navigable graphical panel, the first panel displaying first organizational elements corresponding to a first outline level of an electronic content work; a second user navigable graphical panel, the second panel displaying one or more child organizational elements of a selected first organizational element, the child organizational elements corresponding to a second outline level of the electronic content work; and one or more content previews of content within the electronic content work in the first or second panel, the content previews corresponding to the first or second outline levels of the electronic content work, respectively.
