Abstract

A method for providing a content discovery mode on an electronic personal display is provided. The method includes compiling reading statistics of a user based on a reading history associated with the user, providing at least one of the reading statistics to the user, receiving a request to enter a content discovery mode from a user and directing the electronic personal display to display discovered content to the user when initiating the content discovery mode based on the at least one statistic.

Claims

1. A method for providing a content discovery mode on an electronic personal display, said method comprising:

compiling reading statistics of a user based on a reading history associated with said user;

providing at least one of said reading statistics to said user;

receiving a request to enter a content discovery mode from a user; and

directing the electronic personal display to display discovered content to said user when initiating the content discovery mode based on said at least one statistic.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

storing the reading history related to the user locally on the electronic personal display.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

storing the reading history related to the user remotely at an e-library stored on a cloud device.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

filtering a collection list based on said reading statistics.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

providing a user interface for defining said one or more rules for filtering said collection.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

providing a hot button on a graphical user interface for enabling said user to enter said content discovery mode.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a request to add content to a library associated with said user; and

automatically completing a financial transaction to purchase said added content.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

displaying a summary of at least one discovered content.

9. An electronic reader (eReader) comprising:

a reading statistic module for compiling reading statistics of a user based on a reading history associated with said user;

a user statistic manager module for providing at least one of said reading statistics to said user;

a user input receiving module for receiving a request to enter a content discovery mode from a user; and

a content discovery module for directing the electronic personal display to display discovered content to said user when initiating the content discovery mode based on said at least one statistic.

10. The electronic reader of claim 9 further comprising:

a storage module for storing the reading history related to the user locally on the electronic personal display.

11. The electronic reader of claim 9 further comprising:

a storage module for storing the reading history related to the user remotely at an e-library stored on a cloud device.

12. The electronic reader of claim 9 further comprising:

a content filter for filtering a collection list based on said reading statistics.

13. The electronic reader of claim 9 further comprising:

a graphical user interface for defining said one or more rules for filtering said collection.

14. The electronic reader of claim 9 further comprising:

a hot button on a graphical user interface for enabling said user to enter said content discovery mode.

15. The electronic reader of claim 9 further comprising:

a content manager for receiving a request to add content to a library associated with said user; and

a purchase module for automatically completing a financial transaction to purchase said added content.

16. The electronic reader of claim 9 further comprising:

a display controller for displaying a summary of at least one discovered content on a display.

17. A method for providing a content discovery mode on an electronic personal display, said method comprising:

compiling reading statistics of a user based on a reading history associated with said user;

providing at least one of said reading statistics to said user;

providing a hot button on a graphical user interface for enabling said user to enter a content discovery mode.

receiving a request to enter said content discovery mode from said user; and

directing the electronic personal display to display a content list to said user when initiating the content discovery mode based on said at least one statistic.

18. The method of claim 17 further comprising:

storing the reading history related to the user locally on the electronic personal display.

19. The method of claim 17 further comprising:

storing the reading history related to the user remotely at an e-library stored on a cloud device.

20. The method of claim 17 further comprising:

filtering said content list based on said reading statistics.

21. The method of claim 17 further comprising:

receiving a request to add one or more item from said content list to a library associated with said user; and

automatically completing a financial transaction to purchase said added content.
