CONTENT FLAGGING TECHNIQUES FOR DIGITAL CONTENT

摘要

Techniques are disclosed for providing a side flag mode in electronic devices. In an embodiment, a touch screen gesture performed over a side flag marker may activate the side flag. An activated side flag may be color coded and/or assigned an icon in order to organize the side flags or denote a level of importance or interest. Such side flags are linked to the reflowable digital content rather than a page number, such that when formatting settings are adjusted, the side flags follow an assigned section of text as the text is reflowed and reorganized over a device viewport. The side flag mode may allow the user to organize a table of contents to display only the sections of content associated with activated side flags, and these sections of content may also be organized based on the color or type of side flags the user has created.
