PRESENTATION OF LAYERED CONTENT DOCUMENTS IN MULTISCREEN SYSTEMS

摘要

A publishing platform manages distribution of a multilayered document to a plurality of user devices communicatively coupled to the platform. Each device executes an eReader browser application, which renders the document into a format suitable for a user to read and interact with the content. Each layer of the document has unique characteristics relating to its file size, spatial dimensions, update frequency, or interactivity, and the unique attributes of each device affect the system resources available to the eReading application executing on the device. Based on the characteristics of each layer and the attributes of the devices, the publishing platform recommends a set of layers of the document most suited for each device. The platform may automatically distribute layers to each connected device, or it may deliver the recommendation to the user and distribute layers responsive to a user input.
