A method of summarizing contents displayed on a screen of a device based on scroll speed of a user comprising the steps of:
- a computer of the device calculating words per minute read of the user based on a paragraph with a known number of words;
- the computer of the device detecting scrolling of content displayed on the screen of the device;
- the computer of the device determining a scroll speed at which content is being scrolled relative to the screen of the device;
- the computer of the device determining that the scroll speed exceeds a threshold scroll speed;
- the computer of the device, in response to determining that the scroll speed exceeds the threshold scroll speed, determining a current reading speed of the user when the content is being scrolled;
- the computer of the device determining content being displayed on the screen during scrolling;
- the computer of the device retrieving summarized content representative of the content displayed on the screen during scrolling;
- and
- the computer of the device displaying the summarized content to the user over the content displayed on the screen of the device being scrolled by the user, masking the content being scrolled.
A computer program product for summarizing contents displayed on a screen of a device based on scroll speed of a user, a computer of the device comprising at least one processor, one or more memories, one or more computer readable storage media, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by the computer to perform a method comprising:
- calculating, by the computer, words per minute read of the user based on a paragraph with a known number of words;
- detecting, by the computer, scrolling of content displayed on the screen of the device;
- determining, by the computer, a scroll speed at which content is being scrolled relative to the screen of the device;
- determining, by the computer, that the scroll speed exceeds a threshold scroll speed;
- in response to determining that the scroll speed exceeds the threshold scroll speed, determining, by the computer, a current reading speed of the user when the content is being scrolled;
- determining, by the computer, content being displayed on the screen during scrolling;
- retrieving, by the computer, summarized content representative of the content displayed on the screen during scrolling;
- and
- displaying, by the computer, the summarized content to the user over the content displayed on the screen of the device being scrolled by the user, masking the content being scrolled.
