A METHOD FOR FLIPPING PAGES VIA ELECTROMECHANICAL INFORMATION BROWSING DEVICE

摘要

A method for flipping pages of an electromechanical information browsing device (100) that controls page flipping actions of information displayed as an e-book (200) on a display device (201). The browsing device includes a controller (500) that provides tactile feedback so as to lessen the user-interface differences between conventional books and e-books. Sensors (502) and control mechanisms (501) in the controller generate a series of electrical signals that are interpreted by the computer that displays the e-book to control various browsing operations, such as flipping pages, controlling a rate of page flipping, jumping to pre-set locations in the e-book, etc.
