摘要:
Search may be performed on a user device, such as a handheld electronic book reader device. A search query term may be received. Text of a collection of electronic items stored in memory of the user device may be searched for the queried term. Search results may be returned identifying locations in the electronic items at which the queried term appears.
摘要:
A user's progress through a digital work may be presented using a progress gauge. One or more content dividers may be presented dividing the progress gauge into segments. Each segment of the progress gauge may correspond to a section of the digital work, and may visually represent an amount of content in the corresponding section of the digital work, relative to other sections of the digital work. A collection of digital works available for access by a computing device may be displayed. A progress gauge may be presented in association with one or more of the digital works in the collection of available digital works.

Search may be performed on a user device, such as a handheld electronic book reader device. A search query term may be received. Text of a collection of electronic items stored in memory of the user device may be searched, using an item index and/or a master index, for the queried term. Search results may be returned identifying locations in the electronic items at which the queried term appears.
摘要:
A method for providing text to speech from digital content in an electronic device is described. Digital content including a plurality of words and a pronunciation database is received. Pronunciation instructions are determined for the word using the digital content. Audio or speech is played for the word using the pronunciation instructions. As a result, the method provides text to speech on the electronic device based on the digital content.
摘要:
A user's progress through a digital work may be presented using a progress bar. The progress bar may display a visualization of consumed text of the digital work with respect to unconsumed text of the digital work. An expanded portion of the progress bar may also be displayed. A reading rate associated with the user's consumption of the digital work and a consumption time of the digital work may be presented.
摘要:
A method for displaying a combination of languages for digital content in an electronic device is described. First digital content comprising a plurality of words in a primary language is received. Second digital content comprising a plurality of words in a secondary language is received. A combination of the primary language and the secondary language is determined. The combination of the primary language and the secondary language is displayed.
摘要:
An electronic service provides an electronic catalog to a user. The electronic catalog can include a plurality of descriptions of items. The electronic catalog can also include a plurality of prompts which allow the user to acquire the items described in the electronic catalog. The items in the electronic catalog can be determined by static and/or dynamic considerations.
摘要:
A windowing system for an electronic device that uses an electronic paper display may include a compositor, a frame buffer, and a display controller manager. One or more applications running on the electronic device may request multiple changes to windows. The compositor may determine multiple update areas, where an update area indicates the smallest area of the electronic paper display that should be updated as a result of changes being made to a window. The update areas may be stored in the frame buffer. The display controller manager may create a cumulative update area based on the update areas that are determined between a begin update instruction and an end update instruction. The display controller manager may instruct a display controller to update only the portion of the display corresponding to the cumulative update area.
摘要:
A method for facilitating the creation and use of collections on an electronic device may include receiving user input related to the creation of collections of items that are stored on the electronic device. The method may also include creating the collections of items. The method may also include storing the collections of items on the electronic device. The method may also include backing up the collections to a backup server.
摘要:
In a data communications network comprising a series of nodes connected by optical fiber links providing direct bidirectional communication between adjacent nodes, and communication between non-adjacent nodes in both directions through the same set of intermediate nodes, failure of a single link or of a single node is overcome by protection switching to a standby transmisison loop, including a standby link connecting the head end and tail end nodes of the series. The network provides survivability while also taking advantage of the ability of add/drop multiplexers to allow reuse of bandwidth. Rapid switchover to the protection loop is achieved by providing each node with the capability of detecting and responding to adjacent faults and, in normal operation, maintaining a high-speed by-pass path for the protection loop through all of the nodes except the head end node.
