Abstract:
An example device includes a memory and one or more processors configured to receive an indication of a first set of characters, responsive to determining that a predetermined amount of time has elapsed since the indication of the first set of characters was received, execute a query generated based on the first set of characters, to determine a typing speed associated with the first set of characters, and to generate, based on the predetermined amount of time and the typing speed, an adjusted amount of time, the adjusted amount of time being different from the predetermined amount of time. The processor(s) are further configured to receive an indication of a second set of characters, and responsive to determining that the adjusted amount of time has elapsed since the indication of the second set of characters was received, execute a second query generated based on the second set of characters.
Abstract:
Data reports are received from a plurality of clients including action reports and timing reports. Action reports describe actions performed by users of the clients at location within an eBook. Timing reports describe reading speeds of users of the clients. The data reports are analyzed to identify an action that is performed by the users of the clients at a location within the eBook frequently relative to other actions. Action information is generated for automatically performing the identified action at the location within the eBook. The action information is transmitted to a client. The client is configured to automatically perform the action at the location within the eBook. The reading location of a user of the client is determined based on the timing reports.
Abstract:
An electronic book system includes an assessment module that determines how suitable a particular book is for conversion to audio presentation format. The extent of image content is determined and compared with the amount of text in the book. Images are categorized and then weighted based on factors including image size, context of image with respect to surrounding text, and repetition of the image. An overall assessment score is generated as a metric for how suitable the book is for conversion to audio format. Image weightings are also usable to determine which images may be provided to users along with the audio version.
Abstract:
The structure of a digital content item is used to socially connect users consuming the digital content item. The structured representation of the digital content item is determined. This structured representation is analyzed to identify key events within the digital content item. A user's current location within the digital content item is identified. Social communications of the user are filtered responsive to the user's current location and the identified key events within the digital content item. In this way, the user may peruse social media without inadvertently reading communications that give away (e.g., spoil) key events such as important plot points.
Abstract:
A system to process graphical elements within a book during assessment of the book for suitability for conversion to an audio format includes an image classification subsystem, an image processing subsystem, and a weighting subsystem. The image classification subsystem is configured to classify a graphical element based on at least one of a context of the graphical element and properties of the graphical element. The image processing subsystem is configured process the graphical element to create a processed graphical element, the processing responsive to the classification of the graphical element. The weighting subsystem is configured to produce a weighting corresponding to the processed graphical element, the weighting indicating an impact of the graphical element of suitability of the book for conversion to the audio format.
