BROWSER INTERFACE FOR ACCESSING SUPPLEMENTAL CONTENT ASSOCIATED WITH CONTENT PAGES
First Claim
1. A system for providing supplemental content, the system comprising:
- one or more data stores that store supplemental content data; and
a browser component including executable code that directs a user computing device operative to;
request supplemental content data, wherein the supplemental content data is associated with initial content presented in a first page on the display of the user computing device, and wherein the supplemental content data is configured to be presented in a flipped page on the display of the remote computing device;
detect a user interaction with the user computing device, wherein the user interaction is indicative of a request to flip the first page to the flipped page, wherein the user interaction occurs while the initial content is being presented in the first page; and
automatically present the supplemental content in the flipped page on the display after detection of the user interaction; and
a computing device in communication with the one or more data stores, said computing device operative to;
receive, from the user computing device, a request for supplemental content data;
obtain the supplemental content data from the one or more data stores; and
transmit the supplemental content data to the user computing device for automatic presentation in association with the flipped page on the display of the user computing device.

Abstract
A user of a computing device may view a content page on a display of a computing device. One aspect of the disclosure is a browser user interface than enables the user to flip the content page (or portion thereof) over (e.g., via a touchscreen gesture) to view supplemental content, such as metadata, associated with the content page (or portion thereof). While viewing the metadata on the back side of the content page in some embodiments, the user can perform a second or reverse flip operation to return to the original page. The user may be presented with options to flip the page backward and forward multiple times to view multiple flipped pages presenting additional supplemental content. The supplemental content may include virtually any information in which the user may be interested and/or that is related or similar to the content page.

6. A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a browser component, said browser component including executable code that directs a user computing device having a touchscreen to perform a process that comprises:
-
retrieving a content page of a content site, and displaying the content page on the touchscreen; receiving, from a content source that is separate from the content site, supplemental content associated with the content page; detecting a touchscreen gesture representing a user request to flip the content page over; and in response to the touchscreen gesture, creating a visual appearance of the content page being flipped over to reveal a back side, and displaying the supplemental content on said back side. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium having computer-executable components for providing content, the computer-executable components comprising:
-
a user interface component that presents content in a first page on a display of a computing device; a monitoring component that detects a user gesture to flip the first page to a second page, wherein the user gesture occurs in relation to the computing device; and a content selection component that obtains second content from one or more sources external to the computing device, wherein after detection of the user gesture, the user interface component presents at least a portion of the obtained second content. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-implemented method for presenting content on a display of a computing device, the computer-implemented method comprising:
-
detecting a user interaction with the computing device while first content is presented in a first page on the display, said user interaction being a touchscreen gesture indicative of a request to view second content related to the first content; requesting second content determined to be related to the first content presented in the first page, wherein the second content is to be presented in a second page on the display; and after detection of said user interaction with the computing device, automatically presenting, on the display, at least a portion of the second content in the second page. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
