Abstract
A system, method, and computer readable medium having computer instructions provided thereon for enabling a computer to perform a method of simulating the effect of page turning including displaying a first image corresponding to a first side of a printed page on a display, where an aspect ratio of the display is automatically adjusted to an aspect ratio of the printed document, responding to user input to simulate turning the printed page to display a second image corresponding to a second side of the printed page and consecutively rendering individual representations of images of the page from a set of discrete representations one at a time to simulate the page being turned.
Claims61
A method for electronically simulating interaction with images of printed matter, comprising:
- displaying a first image corresponding to a first printed page on a display;
- and
- responding to user input to simulate turning the page to display a second image corresponding to a second printed page.
A method of simulating the effect of page turning comprising:
- displaying a first image corresponding to a first side of a printed page on a display, wherein an aspect ratio of the display is automatically adjusted to an aspect ratio of the printed document;
- responding to user input to simulate turning the printed page to display a second image corresponding to a second side of the printed page;
- and
- consecutively rendering individual representations of images of the page from a set of discrete representations one at a time to simulate the page being turned.
A system for performing a method for electronically simulating interaction with images of printed matter, comprising:
- displaying means for displaying a first image corresponding to a first side of a printed page on a display, wherein an aspect ratio of the display is automatically adjusted to an aspect ratio of the page;
- and
- responding means for responding to user input to simulate turning the page to display a second image corresponding to a second side of the page.
A system for performing a method of simulating the effect of page turning comprising:
- displaying means for displaying a first image corresponding to a first side of a printed page on a display, wherein an aspect ratio of the display is automatically adjusted to an aspect ratio of the printed document;
- responding means for responding to user input to simulate turning the printed page to display a second image corresponding to a second side of the printed page;
- and
- rendering means for consecutively rendering individual representations of images of the page from a set of discrete representations one at a time to simulate the page being turned.
A computer readable medium including computer instructions for enabling a computer system to perform a method for electronically simulating interaction with images of printed matter, the method comprising:
- displaying a first image corresponding to a first side of a printed page on a display, wherein an aspect ratio of the display is automatically adjusted to an aspect ratio of the page;
- and
- responding to user input to simulate turning the page to display a second image corresponding to a second side of the page.
