Abstract

La présente invention concerne le transfert, le développement, le traitement et la facturation électronique, du prêt et de la vente d'un livre électronique (e-livre). L'invention concerne également une structure de prêt de l'e-livre et la prise en charge de l'interface-utilisateur. Le moyen permettant d'améliorer l'expérience de lecture de l'e-livre est suggéré par l'intermédiaire de plusieurs moyens nouveaux comprenant des cartes et des dessins électroniques en direct associés à un texte, des images animées (pseudo film) liées à une actualisation du texte, etc. En outre, l'invention concerne un nouveau concept d'actualisation des e-livres pendant que vous lisez: l'utilisateur étant capable de changer et d'actualiser le contenu de l'e-livre, ce qui lui donne une nouvelle expérience intime dans le fait de lire des e-livres et des livres en général. Le lecteur d'e-livre est capable de vendre ou de prêter des parties de l'e-livre qu'il a obtenu, soit par achat, soit par emprunt. De plus, il peut être stimulé de manière active pour prêter ou vendre le livre qu'il possède, par l'intermédiaire d'un système de redevance très sophistiqué dans lequel il devient bénéfique pour à la fois le propriétaire de l'e-livre et le lecteur d'amener d'autres personnes à le lire également. Enfin, l'invention concerne l'interface-utilisateur des e-livres, et des mécanismes de transfert de l'e-livre et des supports associés, entre les divers fournisseurs et consommateurs.
