System and method for extracting content from a data item to separately display portions of such data

摘要

A system and method are provided for extracting a portion of content from a data item and separately displaying such content on a secondary display screen such as an interactive display (e.g. touch-sensitive or clickable display) that enables interactive content portions to be extracted from the data item and provided separately from the remaining content to both free up space on a primary display screen and maintain visibility of the interactive content, while permitting navigation within the remaining content. Such extraction of content is particularly advantageous for separating logos (e.g. those used for brand recognition (passive), those providing home page links (active), etc.), advertising, and M-commerce (e.g. “buy now” or “add to cart” buttons). By using interactive secondary displays, the extracted content item can target interactive content portions that allow easy access to features without having to navigate within the main content each time.

主权项

1. A method of displaying content on a mobile device, the method comprising:
obtaining a data item, the data item comprising two or more content portions, the two or more content portions including an interactive content portion associated with meta data or a tag which indicates where in the data item the interactive content portion can be found for automatic extraction, the interactive content portion configured to, when selected via an input mechanism of the mobile device, cause the mobile device to execute one or more commands associated with the interactive content portion, wherein all the content portions of the data item are configured to be displayed together; automatically extracting the interactive content portion from the data item using the meta data or the tag in the data item, thereby providing remaining content from the data item; displaying the remaining content of the data item, without the interactive content portion, on a primary display device of the mobile device; displaying the interactive content portion, without the remaining content of the data item, on an interactive secondary display device of the mobile device; after detecting interaction with the interactive content portion available at the interactive secondary display device, executing the one or more commands associated with the interactive content portion; and updating at least one of the primary and the interactive secondary display devices with new content in response to the interaction with the interactive content portion available at the interactive secondary display device.
