Patent number: 10264034Abstract: A digital magazine server user may identify a content item presented by the digital magazine server to save or present to other digital magazine server users by interacting with a client device presenting the content item. For example, providing a gesture to the client device identifies a content item for presentation to other digital magazine server users. The gesture may begin by the user interacting with a portion of a display device that displays a portion of the content item and continue as the user interacts with the display device along a path from the portion to an additional portion. When the gesture is completed, the user may be presented with options to present the content item to additional digital magazine server users, or the content item may be presented to other digital magazine server users.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2015Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Flipboard, Inc.Inventors: Marcos A Weskamp, Evan R. Doll, Didier Hilhorst

Patent number: 10091326Abstract: A digital magazine application executing on a client device presents content retrieved from various sources to a user by presenting content regions that are each associated with various content items. When the digital magazine application identifies a type of interaction with a content region, the content region is modified to present information about various content items associated with the content region. For example, if the digital magazine application determines that a user positions a pointer at least a threshold distance from a surface of a display device for at least a threshold length of time at a location along a length and along a width of a display device where a content region is presented, the content region is modified. For example, the content region is increased in size and information describing content items associated with the content region is presented.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2015Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Flipboard, Inc.Inventors: Mark Rietveld, Jing Zhao, Didier Hilhorst

Patent number: 9712575Abstract: A digital magazine server user interacts with a client device presenting one or more content items from the digital magazine server to access various content items identified by the digital magazine server. For example, the user interacts with a portion of a display device of the client device and traverses to an additional portion of the display device to view additional content items on the display device. Based on a rate at which the user traverses from the portion to the additional portion, a content update rate is determined and used to select an indication of modification that is presented. The indication of modification provides the user with a visual indication that the content items presented by the display device are modified, and may include a subset of content items from the digital magazine server if the content update rate does not exceed a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2013Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Flipboard, Inc.Inventors: Charles H. Ying, Marcos A. Weskamp, Evan R. Doll, Didier Hilhorst, Michael Johnston

Patent number: 9377932Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling users to rapidly flip through displayed pages of content in an intuitive manner are provided. Graphical animations for transitioning from one page to another can be executed so that portions of three or more pages can be simultaneously viewed. This enables a user to make snap judgments as to whether she wishes to explore anyone of those pages in more detail as she rapidly flips through the pages.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2015Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Flipboard, Inc.Inventors: Charles Hugo Ying, Marcos A. Weskamp, Michael S. McCue, Didier Hilhorst, Michael Johnston

Publication number: 20150169744Abstract: A digital magazine server creates cover pages identifying relevant content items relevant to a user. Candidate feeds of content items are identified from various sources, such as user-defined sections of content items, social networking systems, external content providers, and recommended content. The digital magazine server retrieves content items from the candidate feeds and generates clusters including retrieved content items based at least in part on the content elements contained in the content items. The content items in various clusters are scored, and one or more content items are selected from each cluster. The selected content items are placed in a consolidated feed, which is used to create a cover page describing a digital magazine for presentation to a digital magazine server user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2014Publication date: June 18, 2015Inventors: Andrew David Walkingshaw, Boris Lev Aleksandrovsky, Xiaoyu Suzanne Fei, Evan R.
