Abstract: Techniques are provided for selectively and dynamically determining one or more words of an electronic book to present with comprehension guides. For instance, an electronic device rendering an electronic book may determine whether to display some, all, or no words of the book with comprehension guides for words within the electronic book based on word difficulty, contextual importance or aspects of the user. Techniques are also provided for determining the content of comprehension guides to be presented with the words.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for dynamic color adjustment of electronic content. In one embodiment, a system may determine a first background color corresponding to a color theme for use in presentation of electronic content, the color theme further specifying a first text color for displaying text. The system may convert the first text color to hue-saturation-value (HSV) color space, and modify a brightness component of the first text color to generate a second text color. The system may determine a first contrast ratio between the second text color and the first background color, and determine that the first contrast ratio satisfies a first threshold contrast ratio. The system may display the electronic content using the first background color, the electronic content including text having the second text color.

Abstract: A rendering optimizer captures content engagement feedback associated with a first interval during which electronic content is presented with a first set of rendering parameter values. The rendering optimizer adjusts at least one rendering parameter value of the first set of rendering parameter values by a step amount in a first direction to create a second set of rendering parameter values and captures content engagement feedback associated with a second interval during which the electronic content is presented with the second set of rendering parameter values. The rendering optimizer further adjusts the rendering parameter values to determine they result in an improvement in reading immersion.

Abstract: Virtual bookmarks can be set in digital content to enable a user to quickly locate a portion of interest. A user can provide an input to enter into an overview mode wherein multiple pages of content are displayed concurrently. The user can navigate through the pages, and when a bookmarked page is caused to no longer appear on the display an overlay element such as a thumbnail of the page can be positioned near the edge of the display, representing the current relative location of the page in the overview. A user can select one of the displayed pages to view, or can select the bookmark overlay element to return to the current page. A user can perform an action to cause the bookmarked page to be updated, or can perform various actions to cause multiple bookmarks to be created with respect to the content.

Abstract: Techniques for previewing portions of the content item using an electronic device include displaying a first portion of the content item, receiving input from a user indicative of a desire to browse a second portion of the content item different than the first portion, and displaying a preview window illustrating the second portion of the content item in response to the input. The preview window may enable the user to simultaneously view the second portion illustrated therein as well as at least part of the first portion. In addition, a viewing position of the user may be maintained at a location of the first portion in the content item while the second portion is illustrated in the preview window. Accordingly, the user may not lose context of the first portion of the content item while the viewing the second portion.

Abstract translation: 使用电子设备预览内容项的部分的技术包括显示内容项的第一部分，从用户接收指示浏览不同于第一部分的内容项的第二部分的愿望的输入，以及显示预览 窗口，其示出响应于输入的内容项目的第二部分。 预览窗口可以使用户能够同时观看其中所示的第二部分以及第一部分的至少一部分。 此外，在预览窗口中示出第二部分时，用户的观看位置可以被保持在内容项目中的第一部分的位置。 因此，在观看第二部分的同时，用户可能不会丢失内容项的第一部分的上下文。

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques and systems to detect a layout of a source document. A process may include receiving content from a first page and a second page of the source document, designating sections in each page along a first direction of the page, and assigning similar sections to a group. For the group, the process may proceed by dividing sections for each page into discrete portions associated with 2D coordinate areas, and identifying sets of 2D coordinate areas for the discrete portions that contain content. The number of times each portion contains some content may be compared to a threshold to determine a layout of the group of sections.
