SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING CONTENT FROM A DATA ITEM TO SEPARATELY DISPLAY PORTIONS OF SUCH DATA
First Claim
1. A method of displaying content on a mobile device, the method comprising:
- obtaining a data item, the data item comprising at least one interactive content portion that when selected using an input mechanism of the mobile device causes the mobile device to execute one or more commands associated with the content portion;
extracting a content portion from the data item thereby providing remaining content from the data item;
displaying the remaining content on a primary display of the mobile device; and
displaying the content portion on a secondary display of the mobile device.

Abstract
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.

7. A mobile device comprising a primary display, an interactive secondary display, a processor, one or more input mechanisms and a memory, the memory comprising computer executable instructions for:
-
obtaining a data item, the data item comprising at least one interactive content portion that when selected using one of said one or more input mechanisms causes the processor to execute one or more commands associated with the content portion; extracting a content portion from the data item thereby providing remaining content from the data item; displaying the remaining content on the primary display; and displaying the content portion on the interactive secondary display. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method of providing data items to mobile devices, the method comprising:
-
a server device obtaining a data item, the data item comprising at least one interactive content portion that when selected using an input mechanism on a mobile device causes the mobile device to execute one or more commands associated with the content portion; the server device analyzing the data item to determine a desired interactive content portion to be extracted; the server device generating a modified data item delineating extracted content corresponding to the desired interactive content portion from remaining content from the data item; and the server device providing the modified data item to one or more mobile devices comprising primary and secondary displays;
wherein the modified data item is configured to be processed to display the remaining content on the primary display of the respective mobile device and to display the extracted content on the secondary display of the mobile device such that upon detecting selection of the extracted content via the secondary display, the one or more commands associated with the content portion are executed. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A server device comprising a processor configured for analyzing content in data items for providing the data items to mobile devices, the server device further comprising a memory comprising computer executable instructions for causing the processor to:
-
obtain a data item, the data item comprising at least one interactive content portion that when selected using an input mechanism on a mobile device causes the mobile device to execute one or more commands associated with the content portion; analyze the data item to determine a desired interactive content portion to be extracted; generate a modified data item delineating extracted content corresponding to the desired interactive content portion from remaining content from the data item; and provide the modified data item to one or more mobile devices comprising primary and secondary displays;
wherein the modified data item is configured to be processed to display the remaining content on the primary display of the respective mobile device and to display the extracted content on the secondary display of the mobile device such that upon detecting selection of the extracted content via the secondary display, the one or more commands associated with the content portion are executed. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
