20120235925 | Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Establishing an Impromptu Network - An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface and a device motion sensor detects a predefined gesture on the touch-sensitive surface. The predefined gesture has one or more gesture components. The device detects a predefined movement of the electronic device with the device motion sensor. The predefined movement has one or more movement components. In response to detecting the predefined gesture and the predefined movement, the device, in accordance with a determination that the one or more gesture components and the one or more movement components satisfy predefined concurrency criteria, performs a predefined operation that is associated with concurrent detection of the predefined gesture and the predefined movement, and in accordance with a determination that the one or more gesture components and the one or more movement components do not satisfy the predefined concurrency criteria, foregoes performing the predefined operation. | 09-20-2012 |
20120240025 | Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Automatically Generating Supplemental Content - An electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a portion of a document in a primary user interface for the document. The portion of the document includes a respective author-specified term. The respective author-specified term is associated with corresponding additional information supplied by an author of the document, and the corresponding additional information is not concurrently displayed with the author-specified term in the portion of the document. The device also receives a request to annotate the respective author-specified term in the portion of the document; and in response to the request to annotate the respective author-specified term: annotates the respective author-specified term in the primary user interface; and generates instructions for displaying, in a supplemental user interface for the document distinct from the primary user interface, the respective author-specified term and at least a portion of the corresponding additional information for the respective author-specified term. | 09-20-2012 |
20120240042 | Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Establishing an Impromptu Network - An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface and a device motion sensor detects a predefined gesture on the touch-sensitive surface. The predefined gesture has one or more gesture components. The device detects a predefined movement of the electronic device with the device motion sensor. The predefined movement has one or more movement components. In response to detecting the predefined gesture and the predefined movement, the device, in accordance with a determination that the one or more gesture components and the one or more movement components satisfy predefined concurrency criteria, performs a predefined operation that is associated with concurrent detection of the predefined gesture and the predefined movement, and in accordance with a determination that the one or more gesture components and the one or more movement components do not satisfy the predefined concurrency criteria, foregoes performing the predefined operation. | 09-20-2012 |
20130047115 | CREATING AND VIEWING DIGITAL NOTE CARDS - Systems, techniques, and methods are presented for creating digital note cards and presenting a graphical user interface for interacting with digital note cards. For example, content from an electronic book can be displayed in a graphical user interface. Input can be received in the graphical user interface highlighting a portion of the content and creating a note, the note including user generated content. A digital note card can be created where one side of the digital note card includes the highlighted text, and the other side of the digital note card includes the note. The digital note card can be displayed in the graphical user interface. | 02-21-2013 |
20130073932 | Interactive Content for Digital Books - This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer program products for presenting interactive content for digital books. In some implementations, a graphical user interface (GUI) is presented that allows a user to view and interact with content embedded in a digital book. The interactive content can include, but is not limited to, text, image galleries, multimedia presentations, video, HTML, animated and static diagrams, charts, tables, visual dictionaries, review questions, three-dimensional (3D) animation and any other known media content. For example, various touch gestures can be used by the user to move through images and multimedia presentations, play video, answer review questions, manipulate three-dimensional objects, and interact with HTML. | 03-21-2013 |
20130073998 | AUTHORING CONTENT FOR DIGITAL BOOKS - This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer program products for authoring content for digital books. In some implementations, a single graphical user interface (GUI) is presented that allows an author to design a layout for the digital book, including editing text and inserting various types of interactive elements in the text. The GUI functions as both a digital book layout design tool and a word processor to facilitate the building of a digital book. The relative page location of inserted widgets can be determined by a user-selectable anchor point placed within the text. An outline view of the digital book can be created and presented in the GUI based on a hierarchical structure determined by paragraph styles applied to the text. The GUI can provide a hybrid glossary and index page for allowing the author to create and manage a glossary and index for the digital book. | 03-21-2013 |
20140115446 | Content Control Tools for a Document Authoring Application - Some embodiments provide a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a document authoring application which when executed by at least one processing unit provides a graphical user interface (“GUI”) for the document authoring application. The GUI includes a display area for displaying a document being authored. The GUI also includes a document authoring tool for adding to the document a floatable content control. The floatable content control includes (1) a content display area for displaying content specified for the floatable content control and (2) a selectable user interface item (UI) that when selected causes the document authoring application to display the content display area. The floatable content control for display by a document viewing application such that the document viewing application displays the specified content through the content display area when the document viewing application receives a selection of the UI item. | 04-24-2014 |
