Description

Graphic display method, device and computer program product of e-book

The present invention relates to a graphic display method, device and computer program product for an electronic book, and more particularly to a method, device and computer program product suitable for displaying a page image of an electronic book and a text.

The development of e-books (digital books) has also been in existence for several years. It is mainly for books published by publishers, such as books, magazines, books, etc., which are digitized so that they can be used, for example, in PCs (personal computers). Browse on electronic devices such as laptops, tablets, PDAs, and mobile phones. However, since e-books do not need to be printed into publications, they have the advantages of low cost and high spreading speed. Moreover, since users do not need to carry physical books, the burden on users can be reduced and browsing is more convenient, and thus it is now prevalent.

In addition, the general e-book is mainly presented in pure image or plain text. The pure image refers to directly using the book or magazine page as an image file, which includes pictures, texts, and art typesetting, and the format. It is more common in PDF or JPG; on the other hand, plain text is the text in the book or magazine page as a browsing page, which simply contains the text content of the page, without images and artwork.

However, when browsing an e-book of a pure image, the electronic device The picture displayed on the screen is more beautiful, but if you use a smaller screen viewer (such as a mobile phone) to browse, it is often difficult to read the text of the page carefully. It is necessary to partially enlarge and move the page, which is inconvenient. On the other hand, when browsing e-books with pure text, although it is convenient for people who use smaller screens (such as mobile phones) to read text, they often lose the browsing experience of the beautiful pages that are meticulously typeset.

In summary, a graphic display method, apparatus, and computer program product of an e-book that can simultaneously enjoy the browsing experience of an e-book and an easy-to-read text reading is an urgent demand of the general public. .

The main object of the present invention is to provide a graphic display method, device and computer program product for an electronic book, which can simultaneously enjoy the browsing experience of browsing the original beautiful page of the electronic book, and the convenience of reading the plain text, and the switching is simple.

The second display screen D2 of the internal character. Moreover, when the text content is too much and the touch screen 2 cannot be completely displayed on a single screen, a scroll scroll will appear, and the user can completely read the entire text content by the touch operation of scrolling up and down.

On the other hand, when the second display screen D2 is displayed on the touch screen 2, that is, when the screen of the pure text is displayed, the user can click the touch screen 2 or perform a pull-down slide to the bottom of the screen to make the touch The screen 2 returns to display the first display screen D1. In other words, when the user browses the plain text reading of the second display screen D2, when the reading is completed, the user can return to the first display screen D1 by simply performing a touch operation, and simultaneously present the inner page image and the local image. Internal text. According to this, in the first display screen D1 and the second display screen D2, the user can both have the aesthetic feeling of browsing the original page of the electronic book on the electronic book, and the convenience of plain text reading; The first display screen D1 and the second display screen D2 are easily switched.

Please refer to FIG. 4 together, FIG. 4 is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The touch screen enlarges the schematic image of the image inside the e-book. When the first display screen D1 is displayed on the touch screen 2, the detecting module 43 detects that the touch operation is located in the first display area A1, for example, clicking twice or using two touches to slide away from each other. In the touch operation, the processing unit 3 controls the display module 41 to enlarge and display the image of the inner page. Of course, the scrolling scroll may be accompanied by the user, and the user can browse the image of the inner page more clearly.

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the operation of displaying a first display screen on a touch screen according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a touch screen display according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A schematic diagram of the three display screens. When the detecting module 43 detects that the first display area A1 of the first display screen D1 has a touch operation of the first sliding direction P1, for example, when it is toggled to the left or to the right, the processing unit 3 controls the display. The first display area A1 of the module 41 displays another inner page image of the e-book, that is, the page change is performed, such as displaying the digital image of the previous page or the next page, and the second display area A2 displays the corresponding previous page. Or local internal text on the image of the page on the next page.

In addition, when the detecting module 43 detects the touch operation a second sliding direction P2 on the first display area A1 of the first display screen D1, in the embodiment, the sliding sliding toward the bottom of the touch screen 2 is performed. The touch control operation, the processing unit 3 controls the display module 41 to display a third display screen D3 on the touch screen 2, wherein the first display area A1 displays the cover of the electronic book, and the second display area A2 displays multiple Inner page image. In other words, in the third display screen D3, the cover of the e-book and the plurality of inner page images can be browsed at the same time, and the user can quickly search for the page to be browsed.

Further, if there are multiple e-books, as long as The processing unit 3 controls the display module 41 when the touch operation of the first sliding direction P1 is performed on the first display area A1 of the three display screen D3, that is, when the first sliding direction P1 is touched, for example, to the left or to the right. The first display area A1 displays other electronic book cover images, that is, performs a replacement, such as displaying a digital image of the previous or next electronic book cover, and the second display area A2 displays the electronic book. The image of the inner page of the page.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the detecting module 43 detects the touch operation-third sliding direction P3 on the second display area A2 of the third display screen D3, the processing unit 3 controls the display module 41 to display the first The display screen D1 is on the touch screen 2. In other words, when the user browses the third display screen including the electronic book cover and the image of the inner page, the user only needs to operate the third sliding direction on any inner page image in the second display area, such as facing the touch screen. 2 Pulling the upper slide to display the inner page image and the first display screen of the partial text on the touch screen 2. However, the present invention is not limited to the touch operation of the third sliding direction P3, and a click method may also be employed.
