FRAMEWORK FOR CREATING INTERACTIVE DIGITAL CONTENT
First Claim
1. A system for creating an interactive digital publication in a mobile device framework, the system comprising:
- a processor;
an element creation module configured to control the processor to create one or more layers on a first rendition of a first digital page in the interactive digital publication, wherein a layer is configured to import and present a digital asset on the digital page;
an interactivity adder module configured to control the processor to associate an action with the layer, wherein the action is at least one of an interactivity or a behavior; and
a layout management module configured to control the processor to analyze a first layer created by the element creation module and to perform a predetermined action based on the analysis.

Abstract
A digital content creation platform can include a variety of features for creating an interactive digital publication. The functionality can include adding one or more sections, one or more pages to a section, and one or more layers to a page, such as box, story, image, video, table, map, and annotation layer types. Additionally, the digital content creation platform can include functionality to add multimedia content to a layer, link layers, and/or add some other action, such as an interactivity feature or behavior. The digital content creation platform can also include functionality to generate a template from the current layout or convert the current layout to a different template layout. At any point during the design, the digital content creation platform can be used to preview or run the digital publication. Finally, after adding content, the digital content creation platform can compile the digital publication for distribution.
