ARCHITECTURE FOR PROVIDING DYNAMICALLY SIZED IMAGE SEQUENCES

摘要

Features are disclosed for proving a sequence of images scaled for substantially full screen presentation by browser applications executing on mobile computing devices. In some embodiments, a collection of story art images may be maintained. Each image may include a representation of a portion of a story, and the story may progress through the images in a predetermined sequence. A request from a mobile computing device for the next image in a sequence may be served with a copy of the next image in the sequence that has been scaled to the browser display area or the display size of the mobile device. Navigation features are disclosed for providing navigation operations without presentation of a visual indicator of the navigation operation.

主权项

1. A system for providing a sequence of comic panels to a mobile computing device, the system comprising:
computer-readable storage configured to store a plurality of comic panels, each comic panel of the plurality of comic panels comprising a visual representation of a portion of a story, wherein the story progresses through a predetermined sequence of the plurality of comic panels; and a server comprising one or more computing devices in communication with the computer-readable storage, the server programmed to at least:
transmit, to a mobile computing device executing a browser application not provided by the system, executable code that configures the browser application to automatically determine a display area resolution of the browser application and transmit display information regarding the display area to the server;receive, from the mobile computing device, a request for a next panel of the plurality of comic panels;receive, from the mobile computing device, display information regarding the display area resolution of the browser application, wherein the display area resolution is automatically determined by the executable code transmitted to the mobile computing device; andin response to the request:
identify a panel of the plurality of comic panels based at least partly on the request and the predetermined sequence;generate a version of the panel scaled, based at least partly on the display information, for full screen presentation by the browser application; andgenerate a response to the request, the response comprising the version of the panel and navigation information indicating a navigation operation associated with a region of the panel, wherein no visual indicator of the navigation operation is presented by the browser application.
