Abstract: A method and system for repaginating content displayed on a display screen of a computing device when upon receiving indication of an object superposed on the content. The content comprises display of one page in a series of digitally constructed pages. The repaginated content is re-flowed or line-wrapped around an identified keep out boundary to counteract any obscuration of displayed content. The repagination forces reconstruction of a next one of the series of pages for display.

Abstract: A method and system for re-marginating content displayed on a display screen of a computing device when upon receiving indication of an object superposed on the display screen content, a “handedness” preference of the reader/observer can be determined. In one embodiment, the content comprises display of one page in a series of digitally constructed pages. A keep out margin is calculated based on position of the object. Content is then re-flowed or line-wrapped about that keep out margin, to counteract any obscuration of displayed content. The line-wrapping of the content around the keep out margin is accomplished while maintaining a plurality of text attributes of the content. The line-wrapping forces reconstruction of a next one of the series of pages for display.

Abstract: A computing device includes a display assembly having a reflective display screen with front viewing surface and a reflective back layer to reflect light entering from the front viewing surface. A housing circumvents the reflective display screen so that the front viewing surface is at least partially exposed. One or more light sources are positioned behind the display assembly such that light emitted by the one or more light sources is at least partially transmitted by the reflective back layer to the front viewing surface. A processor is provided within the housing to selectively activate the one or more light sources based, at least in part, on a state of the computing device.

For example, the touch sensor may be provided with a portion of the housing that is off-plane with the screen of the display assembly. A processor is provided within the housing to detect a first user interaction with the touch sensor, and to interpret the first user interaction as a first user input. The processor further executes one or more instructions in response to the first user input.

A first touch sensor is provided with a first portion of the housing. For example, the first touch sensor may be provided on a sidewall, a front surface, or a back surface of the housing. A processor is provided within the housing to detect a first user interaction and a second user interaction with the first touch sensor. The first user interaction corresponds with a user making contact with the first touch sensor, and the second user interaction corresponds with the user releasing contact with the first touch sensor. The processor further executes a first set of instructions in response to detecting the second user interaction.
