202, content is presented on the touch-screen display 104 of E-book reader equipment 102.Content can be the text from e-file, or it can be the tabulation of project (for example book label topic) or other text based ingredient.
204, detect by the object applied pressure on the touch-screen display.As stated, this object can be the indicating mechanism of finger, stylus or other type.In one embodiment, touch-screen pressure detector 120 is in the placement (1) of 204 detected object on touch-screen display 104, and is applied to the amount (2) of the pressure of touch-screen 104 204 by object.In some cases, the placement of object can be a point in the zone.In other cases, this placement can be interpreted as on touch-screen display and hit.
206,, object initiates operation in response to being applied to touch-screen display.Can there be the pressure of intensity of variation capable of using to come any amount of operation of executable operations in a different manner.In a kind of situation, operation can be the page or leaf that turns in the e-book.For example, page turning detector 112 can turn over one page or multipage according to the amount of the pressure that is applied to touch-screen display.In another situation, operation can be to add bookmark to page or leaf, wherein adds pressure interpretation that bookmark module 114 will be applied to the specific region for add the order of bookmark to page or leaf temporarily.Be described in more detail below these and other situation.
208, the result of operation is presented on the touch-screen display.According to the operation of just carrying out, the result will change widely.The example results of situation about just having discussed can be the demonstration again of new page or leaf or the page or leaf that has added bookmark.
Fig. 3 illustrates the optional embodiment of the touch-screen display 104 of E-book reader shown in Figure 1 102.In this embodiment, three-dimensional input can be produced by the touch-screen of two or more microphones 302 rather than detected pressures or the touch-screen of combination detected pressures.The sound on the surface of the display 104 of microphone 302 detectable objects beating E-book readers.This object can be that stylus, finger are first-class.The relative volume of the sound of surveying by each microphone 302 relatively can be used for calculating relative distance from each microphone 302, therefore in the lip-deep position of display 104.Use two microphones, but the quadrant of identification of displays (for example, upper right, bottom right).Use three or more a plurality of microphone 302, can carry out triangulation a plurality of certain location on the display 104.Microphone 302 can be integrated into the place, one or more angles of display 104 or near the housing of E-book reader equipment 102 in.The third dimension (that is z dimension) is confirmed in separately loud beating of accessible region or soft beating.Loud beating can be relevant with bigger power, and soft beating can be relevant with less power.Total volume by all microphones 302 are surveyed can be by the loudness of summation to confirm to pat.
Several examples are arranged.The following more details that possible situation is provided with reference to figure 4-19.Yet these examples are nonrestrictive, and structure 100 can be used for supporting other configuration and operating position.
Page turning based on power
In first kind of operating position, be implemented in the page turning in the E-book reader equipment through detecting the pressure that is applied to touch-screen user interface in a different manner.According to power or posture, can turn over one page or multipage forward or backward.Followingly example is described with reference to figure 4-6.
Fig. 4 is illustrated in the user interface that shows the hand-held electronic book reader device 102 of one page text on the touch-screen display 104 and representes 400.For example the user points object or the pressure of stylus on touch-screen 104 can make E-book reader equipment 102 show the not same page of e-files, is similar to the page or leaf that turns over tangible book.Page turning detector 112 can be analyzed the input that is received by touch-screen display 104 and order with the enforcement page turning.
Recall from preceding text, " page or leaf " as described herein can be understood that the virtual framework of content or content be shown to user's Visual Display window.Be presented on the E-book reader equipment 102 and use page or leaf that touch-screen display 104 climbs over can be not directly corresponding to the identical page or leaf of writing in relevant tangible book.According to display capabilities, font size and other such parameter, be presented at any given " page or leaf " on the E-book reader equipment 102 and can comprise than write accordingly that page or leaf more Duo and text/graphics still less.Therefore, page turning mechanism 112 page turnings on the meaning that changes to another display frame from a display frame.The visual representation of " page or leaf " for example page number 302 can help user area separately a page or leaf and another page or leaf.In the present embodiment, page number is " 50 ".In addition, the page number that for example changes of the visual representation of page turning can provide the visual confirmation that page or leaf is just climbing over.In other embodiments, but display any graphical element for example turned over the expression of the book of page or leaf and replaced page number, or show, so that the visual representation of the page or leaf that climbs over to be provided together with page number.In addition, replace page number, the progress figure can be used for representing the progress of user in content.Audio frequency and/or tactile feedback also can be used for providing the indication of page turning.For example, when " page or leaf " of e-book climbed over, can play the sound that the actual papery page or leaf of book is just being climbed over.
In one embodiment, the configurable paired pressure in the specific region of touch-screen display 104 responds, and makes when being depressed by the user, and initiates the function of page turning forward or backward.In Fig. 4, screen UI comprises two zones: the zone 404 and the zone 406 that is used for page turning backward that are used for forward page turning.In one embodiment, the zone 404 that is used for forward page turning is positioned at the lower right side of touch-screen display 104, and the zone 406 that is used for page turning backward is positioned at the left downside of touch-screen display 104.On these positions, the user can use two hand-held to hold E-book reader equipment 102, and uses his or her right thumb and left thumb to turn over the page or leaf of electronic book documentary, is similar to the user and how riffles tangible paperback edition.Zone 404 and 406 can be suitably according to the size manufacturing to adapt to user's opposing thumb.
In some embodiments, the zone 404 that is used for forward page turning can occupy the whole right half part of touch-screen display 104, and the zone 406 that is used for page turning backward can occupy the whole left-half of touch-screen display 104.Can be provided with or the language of the file that shown switch in the correlativity between the right side-forward and the left side-backward based on the user.In other embodiments, the zone that is used for forward page turning can be in the at of touch-screen display 104, can be at the place, top of touch-screen display 104 and be used for the zone of page turning backward.The position in zone 404,406 also can be depending on the orientation of E-book reader equipment 102, if make user's rotating electron book reader device 102, correspondingly move the position in page turning zone 404,406.
In some embodiments, the orientation of E-book reader equipment 102 can be surveyed by the accelerometer in the equipment of being integrated in.For example, when E-book reader equipment 102 was rotated, page turning zone 404,406 can rest in the lower right corner and the lower left corner of touch-screen display 104.
As stated, touch-screen pressure detector 120 is surveyed the pressure of touch-screen display 104 or the amount of power of being applied to.The quantity of the page or leaf that is climbed over can be proportional with the amount of pressure on one that is placed in the page turning zone 404,406.When bigger power was applied to page turning zone 404,406, the page or leaf of larger amt was climbed over the amount of power pro rata.Mechanical force can be applied to page turning zone 404,406 through any means.For example, the user can be placed on its thumb on the touch-screen display 104, and the E-book reader equipment 102 between " pinching " its thumb and the forefinger.As another method, the user can be placed on E-book reader equipment 102 on the desk and with stylus and push downwards.
In other embodiments, the speed of page turning can change with the amount of the pressure that is applied to page turning zone 404,406 pro rata.More pressure can make page or leaf climb over quickly.The quantity of the page or leaf that is climbed over and the speed of page turning all can change with the amount of pressure pro rata.For example, the big pressure in page turning zone 404,406 can make more page or leaf climb over and make page or leaf to turn over sooner.Be used to climb over the page or leaf of larger amt and/or be used for to regulate by the user with the threshold quantity of the power of fast speeds page turning.For example, the user can be defined as the amount of pressure the 10 pages of necessary power that once climb over.The user also can be defined as the amount of pressure and for example climb over 60 pages of necessary pressure in one minute.
Alternatively, can be along with the past of time is inferred threshold quantity from observe user behavior.If the user is page turning backward all the time after exerting pressure page turning, deducibility goes out for the applied pressure user of institute not want to climb over so much page or leaf.Therefore, when next time, identical pressure was applied in, equipment can climb over less page or leaf.
Posture except pushing and keeping can produce the page turning order.For example, object (for example, finger, stylus etc.) is hit on touch-screen 104 and can produce the page turning order.The quantity of the page or leaf that is climbed over can increase with the amount of the power that during the posture of hitting, applies facing to touch-screen 104 pro rata.Describe in more detail with reference to figure 7 below and use the posture page turning of hitting.The quantity of the page or leaf that is climbed over also can be depending on the quantity of the finger that is used to hit posture or pushes facing to page turning zone 404,406.For example, a finger turns over one page, and two fingers turn over two pages, and three fingers turn over three pages, and the rest may be inferred.The finger quantity and by climbed over the page or leaf quantity between optional correlativity also be possible.
In some cases, the user possibly hope automatic page turning, so one page will be shown under the situation that does not have the user to import down.Read the time enough of one page in order to allow the user to have before automatic page turning, but be not that the user too much waits for down so much time that one page is shown, the speed of automatic page turning can be based on the mean value of former manual page-turning speed.For example, if imported manual page turning order after the interval at 20,21 and 19 seconds user on last three pages of the file that is shown, E-book reader equipment 102 can begin to turn over automatically in per 20 seconds one page.In some embodiments, need to initiate user's input of automatic page turning.Fig. 5 is illustrated in after the page turn over operation of carrying out through equipment as shown in Figure 4 102, and the user interface of one page text representes 500 under showing on the touch-screen display 102 of E-book reader equipment 102.The visual representation of the page or leaf that is shown is by page number 502 indications.In the present embodiment, page number is " 51 ", and its representative is with respect to one page of page number shown in Figure 4 " 50 " " forward ".The variation of the page or leaf from Fig. 4 to Fig. 5 produces from the pressure that is applied to forward page turning zone 404, makes the amount of the power that applies facing to touch screen zone 104 with to turn over one page relevant.In some embodiments, the bigger power that is applied to page turning zone 404 will once climb over more than one page.Page-turning function works in response to the pressure on the zone of page turning backward 406 in a similar fashion backward.Though page or leaf just " climbs over " time that E-book reader equipment 102 and/or display 104 possibly be used to handle or refresh institute's images displayed.Especially, when once climbing over a lot of pages, the conversion between page or leaf possibly not be instant.Show in the embodiment of the visual representation that has turned over page or leaf in user interface, can during switching time, show visual representation.For example, can be through representing from page or leaf 50 to page or leaf 51 change with the numeral of rolling like the numeric class that in automobile kilometer, shows.In other embodiments, page or leaf 50 can visually change to page or leaf 51, for example through being illustrated in the vision technique of page turning in the tangible book.

Come writ of search based on capacity or pot life
E-book reader equipment 102 can comprise a large amount of unabridged e-book.When the quantity of storage book above that increased, tissue and storage book became and become more and more important.The user of E-book reader equipment 102 possibly hope to discern book based on capacity or time parameter (amount of the for example available reading time or the time that book spent of reading).For tangible book, this can be attended by only reads a book and estimates its capacity.Yet for e-book, the meaning of capacity that the user obtains e-file is more difficult.
These chapters and sections of the present disclosure have been discussed and have been used for the exemplary techniques of coming search file according to capacity and/or time parameter.Can use various posture inputs to select these search and filtration parameter via touch-screen display.
Figure 11 illustrates the user interface that is used for demonstration book tabulation 1102 on E-book reader equipment 102 and representes 1100.Though book is shown in the present embodiment, notice that book tabulation 1102 can show the tabulation of the e-file of other type, comprises the mixing of file type, and does not depart from the spirit and the scope of the description of this paper.For example, book tabulation 1102 can comprise book, magazine, newspaper, periodical, periodical, reference material, telephone directory, textbook, selected works, installation manual, minutes, form, register, map, webpage etc.
In one embodiment, book tabulation 1102 comprises the visual detector of book length 1104 together with the title of book.The visual detector of book length 1104 can be bar or the hurdle of representing the length of the book in the book tabulation 1102.In some embodiments, visual detector can be indicated the amount of the book that maintenance do not read.Visual detector is not limited to bar or hurdle, and can comprise other expression, the three dimensional representation that for example appears bigger or highlyer pro rata with the size of other book.Book tabulation 1102 can be sorted according to book length.Alternatively, book tabulation 1102 based on other factors for example with the degree of approach of the coupling of search inquiry, alphabet sequence, by date, price waits and sorts.In some cases, book tabulation 1102 can be sorted according to book length according to filtrator (for example, search, user preference etc.) and next.In diagram shown in Figure 11, show five books, exemplary title is sorted as follows: " very large book ", " short book ", " medium book ", " big book " and " very short book ".
The user can be through object (for example, finger or stylus) being placed on the title that for example shows book the part of touch-screen display 104 on or near select in the book in the book tabulation 1102.In response, the subclass of book tabulation 1102 is shown.The book that is included in the subclass of book tabulation 1102 is confirmed by the capacity of the indicated book of user.In the present embodiment, shown the user who uses finger to select " medium book ".For example can confirm capacity in every way according to the quantity of character in the quantity of speech in the quantity, book of page or leaf in the book, the book etc.
Figure 12 illustrates user interface and representes 1200, and it shows the subclass 1202 of book tabulation 1102 shown in Figure 11 after the selection of " medium book ".Subset list 1202 can sort based on size.In the present embodiment, subset list 1202 tops to the bottom from sorting to less more greatly.Subset list 1202 also alternatively the top to the bottom from less to sorting more greatly.In one embodiment, subset list 1202 also can comprise the visual indicator of book length 1204, describes in Figure 11 as top.
In this diagram, subset list 1202 comprises the e-book with the size that is equal to or less than selected " medium book ".Therefore, book " short book " and " very short book " are included in the subset list 1202.In other embodiments, the e-book with the capacity that is equal to or greater than selected book or e-book is next bigger capacity or capacity that next is less, can be included in the subset list 1202.After the size filtered based on the book of being indicated by the user, subset list 1202 can be considered to book tabulation 1102.
Select as another, the type that is applied to the filtration of book tabulation 1102 can be depending on the type of the object that on touch-screen display 104, produces indication and/or the type of posture.For example, select book to filter book tabulation 1102 through the title that uses " medium book " among two finger presses Figure 11 through the book that removes greater than indicated book.On the contrary, come instruction to filter book tabulation 1102 through the title that uses " medium book " among a finger presses Figure 11 through the book that removes less than indicated book.As another example; Title through pushing book also then upwards produces the posture of hitting and comes instruction to filter book tabulation 1102 through the book that removes less than indicated book, and the posture of hitting downwards can be filtered book tabulation 1102 through the book that removes greater than indicated book.
Figure 13 illustrates the process 1300 that the touch-screen display 104 that is used to use E-book reader equipment 102 comes the tabulation of filtering electronic file.
1302, on the touch-screen display 104 of E-book reader equipment 102, show the tabulation of e-file to the user.Describe in Figure 110 as top, the tabulation of file can comprise the vision indication of file size.This tabulation can be orderly or unordered.
1304, receive corresponding to one indication in the e-file in the tabulation.This indication can by on the part of touch-screen display 104 or near object produce one title or other expression in the file in touch-screen display 104 display lists.In one embodiment, to as if user finger one or more, but also can be stylus or other indicating mechanism.
1306, the indication of making based on the user that from subset list, removes some files comes filter list.Subset list 1202 for example, is selected book label topic " medium book " afterwards in the tabulation 1102 from Figure 11 shown in Figure 12.Establishment according to action 1306 subset list can use different modes to implement.Has an illustrative embodiments of son action 1306 (1)-(3) shown in Figure 13.1306 (1), confirm whether use a finger or two fingers to be chosen in the file of listing on the touch-screen display 104 about the user.This is to survey through a plurality of spot pressures on the screen.(that is, " two " branch from 1306 (1) is removed 1306 (2) greater than the e-file of indicated e-file if the user uses two fingers.If he uses a finger (that is, " one " branch from 1306 (1)), be removed 1306 (3) less than the e-file of indicated e-file.
1308, on touch-screen display 104, be shown to the user through the tabulation of filtering.The demonstration of in Figure 12, discussing above this demonstration can be similar to.
Top characteristic allows the user search book, and filters the tabulation of book based on capacity.Another parameter that can be used is to can be used to read the time of book or read the time that is spent to agreement with reader's speed.
Figure 14 illustrates to allow to use based on the time and selects the user interface of the E-book reader equipment 102 of book to represent 1400.This time parameter can be represented various conditions, and the amount of the time that for example can be used to read (for example, when rest remaining 15 minutes) or user read the amount (for example, with reader's speed, book or the article that can in 15 minutes, accomplish) of the time that book possibly spend.For so time-based filtration, E-book reader equipment 102 calculates user's reading rate.Can calculate general reading rate based on the time between the page turning order and the quantity of speech that on page or leaf, shows or character.Therefore, it is directly relevant with capacity that the user reads the time that book spends, and can be considered to the agency of capacity reading time.Yet different with capacity, reading the time that book spent can be different for different users.E-book reader equipment 102 can keep a plurality of user profiles, and each user profile is relevant with corresponding reading rate.
In Figure 14, user interface 1400 is generating writing pattern clock 1402 on touch-screen display 104.The user selects a certain amount of time through using its finger (or stylus) in the clockwise circle 1404 around the end face of clock 1402, to produce posture.Selected time quantum moves the distance of its finger along the clock end face corresponding to the user.In the present embodiment, the user moves its finger in the quadrant arc, indicates 15 minutes time.User interface 1400 can comprise that also digital dock 1406 shows the selected time.In the present embodiment, digital dock 1406 shows zero hour and 15 minutes.In addition, the user can be through representing that in digit time mobile digital comes select time in 1406.
In case user input time, E-book reader equipment 102 just begins to come kill file based on time parameter.E-book reader equipment 102 is confirmed file size based on indicated time quantum and user's reading rate.In the present embodiment, the file that can in 15 minutes or less time, read of identification user.E-book reader equipment 102 then shows the tabulation of the file that limits the time-constrain that provides.
Figure 15 illustrates time quantum in response to user input and shows that the user interface of the E-book reader equipment 102 of book tabulation 1502 representes 1500.Book tabulation 1502 comprises very short book, magazine article and poem in the present embodiment.These all are the projects that the user should be able to read in indicated time quantum (for example, 15 minutes) based on the reading rate in past.Certainly, in any given instance, the user can read slowlyer than his or her general reading rate, so in fact the user can spend the time longer than indicated time quantum and read the project that is included in the book tabulation 1502 in some instances.
The Text To Speech conversion
In another operating position, the user possibly hope from the text-converted to voice.As following described about Figure 16-18, the user can use the various input technologies with touch-screen user interface to initiate this conversion.
Figure 16 illustrates and is used for becoming the user interface of the E-book reader equipment 102 of voice to represent 1600 text-converted.The processing of user input with text-converted is become voice can carry out by Text To Speech module 118 whole or in part.The visible expression of E-book reader equipment 102 videotex on touch-screen display 104.The user can be through object being placed on touch-screen display 104 the part of videotex on or a near part of indicating the text that on touch-screen display 104, shows.When receiving user's text selecting, E-book reader equipment 102 can produce the oral representation of text.In some embodiments, the oral representation of text is synthetic people's voice of loud read text.Corresponding to the sound of the oral representation of text can for example loudspeaker or the earphone (or wirelessly via bluetooth or other technology) that is connected to earphone jack produce by output device.
The speed that the speed of the oral representation of text moves on touch-screen display 104 corresponding to object.Object can be user's finger, stylus etc.The speed of oral representation increases in the time of can increasing in the speed of object, or when the speed of object reduces on the contrary.In some embodiments, the average velocity that moves with respect to the text on the touch-screen display 104 based on object of the speed of oral representation rather than the instantaneous velocity of object.For example,, the user has pause a little when moving on to her finger the start-up portion of next line from the end of delegation.For fear of pausing accordingly when the read text, the average velocity that user's finger moves with respect to the display part of text can be used for confirming reading rate.For example, reading rate can be based on the average velocity of object with respect to 10 speech in front, so the transient change of the speed of object does not influence reading rate.
In one embodiment, when through object being placed on the touch-screen display 104 or during near indication text, the visual representation of text changes, and is shown like highlight 1602.The change of the visual representation of text can comprise and add bright, as to change text color, underlines to text etc.
Because the dual-use function of touch-screen display 104, the user maybe through make object on the speech that is presented on the touch-screen display 104 through indicating the part of the text that on screen, shows.According to the language and the form of text, level or vertical text can be arranged.Object for example user's finger moves on text on the identical direction of the direction of being read with text usually.For example, when text flatly is presented at 104 last times of touch-screen display, object moves on the direction of level usually.This direction can be right to a left side or left-to-right, depends on the language of text.When text was vertically shown, object moved on vertical usually direction.Once more, this direction can be head-to-foot or the end to the top.
Depend on the orientation of E-book reader equipment 102 such as the notion at a left side/You Heding/end, if make user's rotating electron book reader device 102, tangential movement becomes vertical movement.In some embodiments, the E-book reader Equipment Inspection layout when its orientation changes and regulate automatically the text of display 104.
Figure 17 illustrates and is used for representing 1700 with being presented at the optional user interface that text 1702 on the touch-screen display 104 converts the E-book reader equipment 102 of voice to.In this embodiment, the speed of oral representation can be based on object with respect to the speed that is presented at the progress bar 1704 on the touch-screen display 104.For example, slider bar or the similar demonstration that plays progress bar 1704 can show with the display part of text 1702 abreast.Through moving object along progress bar 1704, the speed of may command oral representation.In some embodiments at progress bar interface, only the motion with respect to progress bar is enough to set reading rate.E-book reader equipment 102 can then continue the display part of read text 1702, and does not need the user repeatedly to move its finger along progress bar 1704.
Figure 18 is that the extracts that illustrates for the text that is shown uses touch-screen display 104 to be convenient to the illustrative process 1800 of the conversion of text voice.1802, the text display of e-file is on the touch-screen display 104 of E-book reader equipment 102.
1804, object is detected when object moves with the indication extracts on touch-screen display.Object can be reader's finger, stylus or other indicating mechanism.The visual representation of taking passages usefulness can change in response to the reader selects.This is for example shown in Figure 16, in Figure 16, moves on the zone in response to reader's finger and to add bright extracts 1602.
1806, the speed that calculating object moves on touch-screen display.Can use different mode computing velocitys.A kind of method is that derived object is with respect to the mobile average velocity of the several speech in the extracts of text (for example, 10 speech).
1808, the text-converted in extracts becomes voice.And the speed of oral representation is corresponding to the speed at 1806 objects that calculate.When the speed of object on display increased, the speed of oral representation increased.On the contrary, when the speed of object slowed down, the speed of oral representation also slowed down.
