Abstract
A method includes, while displaying a first set of text content via a display device, determining an engagement value that characterizes a level of user engagement with respect to the first set of text content. The method includes, in accordance with a determination that the engagement value satisfies a threshold, replacing the first set of text content with a second set of text content via the display device. The first set of text content is different from the second set of text content. The method includes in accordance with a determination that the engagement value does not satisfy the threshold, maintaining display of the first set of text content via the display device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- at an electronic device including one or more processors, a non-transitory memory, and a display device:
- while displaying a first set of text content via the display device, determining an engagement value that characterizes a level of user engagement with respect to the first set of text content;
- determining a reading proficiency value associated with the first set of text content based on one or more linguistic features associated with the first set of text content;
- in accordance with a determination that the engagement value satisfies a threshold, replacing the first set of text content with a second set of text content via the display device, wherein the first set of text content is different from the second set of text content, and wherein the first set of text content and the second set of text content are associated with different reading proficiency values representing different difficulty levels;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the engagement value does not satisfy the threshold, maintaining display of the first set of text content via the display device.
An electronic device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a non-transitory memory;
- a display device;
- and
- one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the non-transitory memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- while displaying a first set of text content via the display device, determining an engagement value that characterizes a level of user engagement with respect to the first set of text content;
- determining a reading proficiency value associated with the first set of text content based on one or more linguistic features associated with the first set of text content;
- in accordance with a determination that the engagement value satisfies a threshold, replacing the first set of text content with a second set of text content via the display device, wherein the first set of text content is different from the second set of text content, and wherein the first set of text content and the second set of text content are associated with different reading proficiency values representing different difficulty levels;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the engagement value does not satisfy the threshold, maintaining display of the first set of text content via the display device.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which, when executed by an electronic device with one or more processors and a display device, cause the electronic device to:
- while displaying a first set of text content via the display device, determine an engagement value that characterizes a level of user engagement with respect to the first set of text content;
- determining a reading proficiency value associated with the first set of text content based on one or more linguistic features associated with the first set of text content;
- in accordance with a determination that the engagement value satisfies a threshold, replace the first set of text content with a second set of text content via the display device, wherein the first set of text content is different from the second set of text content, and wherein the first set of text content and the second set of text content are associated with different reading proficiency values representing different difficulty levels;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the engagement value does not satisfy the threshold, maintain display of the first set of text content via the display device.
