Creation and exposure of embedded secondary content data relevant to a primary content page of an electronic book
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display for displaying a primary content page and allowing user input, the primary content page being a page of content from a digital document; and
a user interface including a secondary content display mode configured to activate in response to a Y-axis slide apart gesture that is applied to a notification region of the primary content page thereby causing secondary content to be displayed, wherein the notification region is adjacent to first and second portions of content displayed in the primary content page and is configured to expand during the Y-axis slide apart gesture to separate the first and second portions of content adjacent to the notification region to reveal at least a portion of the secondary content therein.

Abstract
Disclosed are several methods, apparatus, and a system to create, expose, and hide embedded secondary content data relevant to a primary content page of an electronic book generated by a content generating device. The method, system, and apparatus is enabled through a Y-axis slide apart gesture that is applied to a notification region of the primary content page such that the secondary content data is made visible when the Y-axis slide apart gesture is applied to the notification region. The method, system, and apparatus is also enabled through a Y-axis pinch close gesture that is applied to a boundary of an exposed pane that is appearing in the primary content page such that the Y-axis pinch close gesture collapses the exposed pane in which the secondary content data is made visible. In one embodiment, the system comprises an association server, an electronic book distribution server, and a content rendering device.
