Abstract

Different methods and systems for a new-era electronic book are disclosed. In one embodiment, the content of the book can be presented by an electronic presentation device. The device includes a display to present the content to a user; a sensor to sense the user; and a processor. The processor can become aware of an attribute of the user, and change a portion of the content of the electronic book to be presented accordingly. In one embodiment, the attribute is a behavior of the user. In another embodiment, the attribute can be a location of the user, or a social network of the user. The book can include a story and a non-story theme. The story theme can convey a concept, and the non-story theme can include scenes, scripts and/or props. The portion changed can be the story or the non-story theme, or both.

Claims

1. An electronic presentation device to provide content of an electronic book to a user, the electronic presentation device comprising:

a display to present the content of the electronic book to the user;

a storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions; and

a processor coupled to the storage medium and the display, wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by the processor, result in the processor;

connecting to a network, which includes a social network that at least allows a plurality of people to enter materials, and allows them to access the entered materials; and

adding a portion of the entered materials at the social network into the content of the electronic book to be presented by the display.

2. The electronic presentation device as recited in claim 1, wherein the social network includes a social network of the user.

3. The electronic presentation device as recited in claim 1, wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by the processor, further result in the processor being aware of a piece of information regarding a current event.

4. The electronic presentation device as recited in claim 3, wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by the processor, further result in the processor adding the piece of information regarding the current event into the content of the electronic book to be presented by the display.

5. The electronic presentation device as recited in claim 1, wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by the processor, further result in the processor adding a piece of information from aggregating data regarding a plurality of people, into the content of the electronic book to be presented by the display.

6. The electronic presentation device as recited in claim 1,

wherein the electronic presentation device further comprises a sensor to sense a geographical location of the device, and

wherein the social network is associated with the geographical location of the device.

7. The electronic presentation device as recited in claim 6, wherein the geographic location of the device is associated to a location where the user uses a social media website.

8. The electronic presentation device as recited in claim 1,

wherein the electronic presentation device further comprises a sensor to sense a geographical location of the device, and

wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by the processor, further result in the processor being aware of a piece of information regarding an event at the geographical location of the device.

9. The electronic presentation device as recited in claim 8, wherein the plurality of instructions, when executed by the processor, further result in the processor adding the piece of information regarding the event at the geographical location of the device into the content of the electronic book to be presented by the display.
