Patent number: 9703760Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering an annotation graphic user interface (GUI) that encompasses external information related to a book term in a structured frame. An ebook includes pre-selected terms embedded with hyperlinks directing to an article contained by an external information source. Upon a user interaction with such a pre-selected term, raw information from the one or more articles is accessed and fed to a wireframe. The raw information is mapped to respective sections of the wireframe based on the field identifications attached to different segments of the raw information. As a result, an annotation GUI including the external information can be displayed in a consistent and orderly format.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2013Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: RAKUTEN KOBO INC.Inventors: Tony O'Donoghue, James Wu

Patent number: 9285959Abstract: A given page of an e-book is displayed when an input is detected that is sustained for an amount of time that exceeds a threshold. After the amount of time exceeding the threshold, the pages of the e-book are transitioned by clusters or chapters. The transitioning by clusters or chapters can be sustained for some duration that is determined by, for example, the duration of time during which the input is sustained.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2013Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: Kobo Inc.Inventors: Tony O'Donoghue, Charles Joseph

Publication number: 20150046783Abstract: A system and method for providing an annotation summary for key terms in an ebook. An ebook includes pre-selected terms embedded with hyperlinks directing to one or more articles contained by one or more external information sources. Raw information from the one or more articles can be accessed and mapped to respective sections of a wireframe based on the field identifications attached to different segments of the raw information, thereby resulting in an annotation GUI. An annotation summary GUI that encompasses an aggregation of visual objects corresponding to the annotated terms in a book chapter can be presented in response to a user request. A user can select a visual object from the annotation summary GUI to open an annotation GUI for the corresponding term.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2013Publication date: February 12, 2015Applicant: KOBO IncorporatedInventors: Tony O'Donoghue, James Wu
