Abstract: A cover apparatus for a user equipment includes a front surface connected to a user equipment and positioned to cover and prevent user viewing of a first portion of a display device. The front surface has a window providing user viewing of a second portion of the display device while the front surface covers the first portion of the display device. The cover apparatus further includes a NFC tag circuit configured to become powered by inductive coupling to signals emitted by a NFC reader within the user equipment to temporarily operate to transmit cover configuration data to the NFC reader within the user equipment. The cover configuration data provides information to an application executed by a processor of the user equipment to determine a location of the window in the front surface and to configure information displayed in the second portion of the display device.

Abstract: A system and method for rendering web page column widths in an adaptive manner for display on an electronic device. The system and method can display individual columns of a web page in a zoom-in view and can display web pages with multiple columns in a zoom-out view. Columns are adaptively rendered such that text in the columns is readable after zooming-in on the column. The system and method avoids the need for side-to-side scrolling of a column displayed in a zoom-in view and minimizes column narrowing.
