  • Patent number: 9671825
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface stores a document having primary content, supplementary content, and user-generated content. The device displays a representation of the document in a segmented user interface on the display. Primary content of the document is displayed in a first segment of the segmented user interface and supplementary content of the document is concurrently displayed in a second segment of the segmented user interface distinct from the first segment. The device receives a request to view user-generated content of the document. In response to the request, the device maintains display of the previously displayed primary content, ceases to display at least a portion of the previously displayed supplementary content, and displays user-generated content of the document in a third segment of the segmented user interface distinct from the first segment and the second segment.

  • Patent number: 9563351
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a page of a first multi-page section of a document and a navigation bar configured to navigate through only pages in the first multi-page section of the document. The device detects a predefined gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a predefined portion of the navigation bar. In response to detecting the predefined gesture, the device displays a navigation user interface that enables selection of a page of the document that is outside of the first multi-page section. The device receives an input in the navigation user interface that indicates selection of a page of a second multi-page section of the document outside of the first multi-page section. In response to receiving the input, the device displays the selected page of the second multi-page section of the document.
