Usage of a computing device is monitored when the computing device is in an active state. A content screen is stored corresponding to a digital content item that is in use when the computing device is in the active state. In response to the computing device being placed in an inactive state, the content screen is displayed on a display of the computing device.

System and method for displaying content on a computing device during an inactive or off-state

A method and system for utilizing a non-screen capacitive touch surface for bookmarking an electronic personal display is disclosed. One example provides a capacitive touch sensing surface on at least two non-planar portions of a housing of the electronic personal display. The capacitive touch sensing surface is monitored for a pinch and slide type contact from at least two non-planar points. In so doing, when the pinch and slide type contact is detected a bookmarking operation on the electronic personal display is performed.
