Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A driver for a mobile-computing device. The driver comprises a communication interface for communicatively coupling the driver to an application executing on the mobile-computing device and a print service wirelessly coupled to the mobile-computing apparatus. The driver further comprises an interceptor and a graphics device formatter. The interceptor identifies graphics device commands and forwards graphics device commands issued by the application. The formatter, when enabled, renders information desired to be printed from the mobile-communication device to an intermediate format communicated to the print service.

Abstract: A method for merchandising digital content of an event includes measuring consumer attention level in the event and comparing the measured consumer attention level to a predetermined threshold. The method also includes predicting a time after the event at which the consumer attention level in the event will fall below a critical level and estimating the time needed for processing digital content of the event. Merchandising of digital content is initiated if the measured consumer attention level exceeds the predetermined threshold and the predicted time at which the consumer attention level will fall below a critical level is greater than the estimated content processing time.

Abstract: A page layout markup language provides a syntax that allows an author to create a document using a plurality of definitions. In one implementation, a document definition references at least one section. A section definition, contained within the document definition, references at least one page. A page definition, contained within the section definition, references at least one region. A region definition, contained within the page definition, is used to display content.

Abstract: A method for exposing mobile-enterprise printers on a network includes receiving a remotely generated request to identify at least one network-coupled mobile enterprise print service, using a UPnP print-service proxy to identify a mobile-enterprise print service communicatively coupled on the network, and using the mobile-enterprise print service to identify at least one printer device communicatively coupled to the network.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating an expression definition file from which a creative expression may be printed. Briefly described, in one embodiment, the system includes a processing server having a processor electrically coupled to a local interface and a memory electrically coupled to the local interface. The processing server is configured to communicate with an affiliate server via a communications network. The system further comprises operating logic stored on the memory and executable by the processor. The operating logic includes logic to receive a logical creative expression that defines the creative expression from the affiliate server. The logical creative expression has one or more content elements and a template type. The operating logic further includes logic to identify a template stored in the memory that is associated with the template type, the template specifying one or more pages with associated regions, and logic to associate the content elements with the regions.
