  • Publication number: 20150363954
    Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed for optimizing serial display of text comprising Chinese characters (which appear in Chinese and in other languages). Some embodiments comprise parsing a Chinese text into display elements for serial display, each display element comprising a short phrase (generally one or two words) that is five or fewer characters in length. In some embodiments, this includes parsing the text into sentences and words and then analyzing sequences of words as part of parsing the text into short phrases (generally one or two words in length) for creating display elements that are five or fewer Chinese characters in length. In some embodiments, various aspects of the text are analyzed to determine whether and how to vary display time of a display element from a default display time. In some embodiments, phrases are displayed such that an optimal recognition positing of the displayed phrase is located at a fixed display location. These and other embodiments are more fully described herein.

  • Publication number: 20150143245
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, computer program products, and systems are disclosed for tracking content use, the content including textual content that is displayable using RSVP. A particular embodiment identifies content, including textual content, to be displayed using RSVP on an electronic device to a user, displays that content to the user using RSVP, and generates content tracking information by tracking information items of the textual content that are displayed using RSVP. In some embodiments, analysis of what information items have been presented to the user and when is used in combination with analysis of information content items in candidate content items to affect rankings of those candidate content items to be potentially presented to a user in response to a search request or other user interface action received from a user device.
