Abstract
A system for providing supplemental content, e.g. purchase information and/or URLs, to a user includes a server and client computing platforms. The supplemental content is related to printed content from a printed publication, such as a magazine. A specific set of printed content, such as a page in a magazine, may include multiple content items that may be of particular interest to the user. The user requests the supplemental content regarding a specific content item by selecting a user-selectable field, e.g. presented via a display of a client computing platform, that corresponds to the specific content item.
Claims25
A system configured to provide to a user supplemental content related to printed content in a printed publication, the system comprising:
- an electronic display;
- and
- one or more physical processors configured to execute computer program modules, the computer program modules comprising:
- an identifier transmission module configured to transmit an itemized content request to a server, wherein the itemized content request identifies printed content in a printed publication, wherein the printed content includes multiple content items;
- a representation module configured to obtain itemized representation content, wherein the itemized representation content includes user-selectable fields, wherein individual user-selectable fields correspond to individual content items of the printed content, wherein individual user-selectable fields are associated with supplemental content;
- a customization module configured to customize the itemized representation content according to user-specific customization settings;
- an interface module configured to present the customized itemized representation content on the electronic display, wherein the interface module is configured to receive a selection of a user-selectable field;
- a supplemental request module configured to, responsive to receipt of the selection, transmit a supplemental content request that identifies the received selection;
- and
- a presentation module configured to obtain supplemental content associated with the selection, wherein the presentation module is configured to present the supplemental content on the electronic display.
A system configured to provide, to a user, supplemental content related to printed content in a printed publication, the system comprising:
- one or more physical processors configured to execute computer program modules, the computer program modules comprising:
- an identifier reception module configured to obtain an itemized content request that identifies printed content in a printed publication, wherein the printed content includes multiple content items, wherein the identifier reception module is further configured to identify the printed content in the printed publication that corresponds to the itemized content request;
- and
- a content access module configured to provide access to itemized representation content, wherein the itemized representation content includes user-selectable fields, wherein individual user-selectable fields correspond to individual content items, wherein a user-selectable field is associated with supplemental content that is related to a corresponding content item, and wherein the content access module is further configured to provide access to the associated supplemental content.
A method for providing supplemental content related to printed content in a printed publication to a user, the method being implemented in a computer system that includes an electronic display and one or more physical processors, the method comprising:
- transmitting an itemized content request to a server, wherein the itemized content request identifies printed content in a printed publication, wherein the printed content includes multiple content items;
- obtaining itemized representation content, responsive to transmission of the itemized content request, wherein the itemized representation content includes user-selectable fields, wherein individual user-selectable fields correspond to individual content items of the printed content, and wherein individual user-selectable fields are associated with supplemental content;
- customizing, by one or more physical processors, the itemized representation content according to user-specific customization settings;
- presenting the customized itemized representation content on the electronic display;
- receiving a selection of a user-selectable field;
- transmitting, responsive to receipt of the selection, a supplemental content request that identifies the received selection;
- receiving supplemental content associated with the selection;
- and
- presenting, on the electronic display, the supplemental content.
A method for providing supplemental content related to printed content in a printed publication to a user, the method being implemented in a computer system that includes an electronic display and one or more physical processors, the method comprising:
- obtaining an itemized content request that identifies printed content in a printed publication, wherein the printed content includes multiple content items;
- identifying the printed content in the printed publication that corresponds to the itemized content request;
- providing access to itemized representation content, wherein the itemized representation content includes user-selectable fields, wherein individual user-selectable fields correspond to individual content items, wherein a user-selectable field is associated with supplemental content that is related to a corresponding content item;
- and
- providing access to the associated supplemental content.
