Abstract

The present disclosure includes, among other things, systems, methods and program products for content chapter access and license renewal.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving a first gesture input incident on a touch-sensitive surface; and

in response to the first gesture input, displaying an animation in which a content interface flips to display a number of chapter indicators, each chapter indicator associated with an offset in content.

2. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

presenting a number of chapter indicators for content in a content interface, each chapter indicator associated with an offset in content;

receiving a first gesture input incident on a touch-sensitive surface to select a chapter indicator from the number of chapter indicators; and

in response to the first gesture input, displaying an animation in which a thumbnail image associated with the selected chapter indicator expands into a portion of the content interface.

3. A computer-implemented method comprising:

presenting a number of chapter indicators for content in a content interface, each chapter indicator associated with an offset in the content;

receiving a first gesture input incident on a touch-sensitive surface, wherein the first gesture corresponds to a thumbnail image representation of a selected chapter indicator; and

in response to the first gesture input, transitioning the thumbnail image representation from the first frame to a second frame of the content associated with a second offset in the content.
