METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EXTRANEOUS OBJECT NOTIFICATION VIA DIGITAL CONTENT REPAGINATION

摘要

A method and system for notifying an observer of the presence of one or more extraneous objects on a touchscreen display of a mobile computing device, in a manner allowing precise droplet removal. In a mobile computing device having display screen including touch sensors, where the processor is capable of inferring a presence of an extraneous object on the display screen based on an interaction with the touch sensors, the method comprises: determining a spatial area around an interaction in response to an inference that an extraneous object is present on the display screen; rendering a perimeter of the spatial area; identifying an obstructed text portion of displayed e-book content encompassed by the perimeter; and repaginating the displayed page in response to displaying the obstructed text portion outside of the perimeter.

1. A method executed in a processor of a computing device, the computing device including a memory storing instructions, a display screen including a set of touch sensors, the processor capable of inferring a presence of an extraneous object on the display screen based on an interaction with the set of touch sensors, the method comprising:
determining a spatial area of the interaction in response to an inference that an extraneous object is present on the display screen, the extraneous object superposed over an obstructed text portion in an e-book content page rendered on the display screen; rendering a perimeter of the spatial area; identifying the obstructed text portion encompassed by the perimeter; and in response to displaying the obstructed text portion outside of the perimeter, repaginating the e-book page content by wrapping an ending text portion of the e-book content page into a next page of the e-book content.
