E-BOOK READER WITH OVERLAYS

摘要

An e-book reader application for the desktop, laptop, tablet, or other mobile computing device configurations, and web/cloud environments provides user interactions with overlays that present the reader with immediate access to assets including equations, figures, references, index, source code, equation variables, and other parameters (including but not limited to graphical plots, videos, slide presentations, etc.) referenced in a given page using a pop-up window or a tool-tip to display the desired asset. The e-book reader application also provides additional tools such as sharing code and review materials, setting access restrictions, and tagging audio/video presentations for authors as well as highlighting, bookmarking, and notes- taking capabilities for readers.
