Abstract

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a method, which comprises causing a rendering of text on a user interface of an information device. The text comprises at least one element differentiated via an appearance change. A rate of the appearance change of the at least one element is determined by a predetermined preference of the at least one element. The text can be rendered with an overall degree of differentiation of elements, which overall degree of differentiation of elements is adjustable by the user.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

causing a rendering of text on a user interface of an information device, the text comprising at least one element differentiated via an appearance change, a rate of the appearance change of the at least one element determined by a predetermined preference of the at least one element, wherein the text is rendered with an overall degree of differentiation of elements, the overall degree of differentiation of elements adjustable by the user.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the overall degree of differentiation of elements is adjusted by a detected act on a physical object, the physical object communicatively coupled to the information device or on the information device, wherein the detected act is at least one of pressing a button, pressing a key on a keyboard, and moving a control wheel.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the overall degree of differentiation of elements is adjusted by a detected act on a physical object, the physical object communicatively coupled to the information device or on the information device, wherein the detected act comprises contacting a touch sensitive surface.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the overall degree of differentiation of elements is adjusted by a detected act on a physical object, the physical object communicatively coupled to the information device or on the information device, wherein the detected act is via a haptic sensor.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the overall degree of differentiation of elements is adjusted by a detected act on a physical object, the physical object communicatively coupled to the information device or on the information device, wherein the detected act is via one or more of a controlling pad, a remote control, a mouse, and a drawing pad.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the overall degree of differentiation of elements is adjusted by a detected act on a physical object, the physical object communicatively coupled to the information device or on the information device, wherein the detected act comprises tilting a tilt sensor.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the overall degree of differentiation of elements is adjusted by a detected act on a physical object, the physical object communicatively coupled to the information device or on the information device, wherein the detected act comprises vibrating a vibration sensor.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the overall degree of differentiation of elements is adjusted by a detected act on a physical object, the physical object communicatively coupled to the information device or on the information device, wherein the detected act comprises changing a pressure on a surface.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the overall degree of differentiation of elements is adjusted by a detected act on a physical object, the physical object communicatively coupled to the information device or on the information device, wherein the detected act comprises rotating a rotation sensor.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the overall degree of differentiation of elements is adjusted by a detected act on a physical object that is communicatively coupled to the information device or on the information device, wherein the detected act comprises accelerating an acceleration sensor.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the overall degree of differentiation of elements is adjusted by a detected act on a physical object, the physical object communicatively coupled to the information device or on the information device, wherein the detected act comprises at least one of deforming or transforming a flexible, foldable, stretchable surface, or elastic device.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the overall degree of differentiation of elements is adjusted responsive to a physical environment that comprises one or more of;

a brightness;

a volume of sound;

a temperature; and

a humidity.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the overall degree of differentiation of elements is adjusted based on a user input that comprises one or more of;

a gesture of the user input applied on the user interface;

a speed of the user input applied on the user interface;

a location of the user input applied on the user interface;

a the biometric identification of the user input applied on the user interface; and

a duration of the user input applied on the user interface.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the at least one element comprises one or more of the following;

a letter;

a number;

a symbol;

a word;

a set of words;

a syllable;

a set of syllables;

a character;

a set of characters;

a line of words rendered via the user interface;

more than one line of words;

a rendered paragraph;

more than one rendered paragraph;

a sentence; and

more than one sentence.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the preference of the at least one element is determined based on one or more of the following;

a type of the at least one element;

a frequency of the at least one element in the text;

a relevance of the at least one element to a search term;

a relevance of the at least one element to an element in a provided library;

a structural location of the at least one element in the text;

a first distance in between the at least one element and a predetermined location on the user interface;

a second distance in between the at least one element and a determined location geographically in space; and

a third distance in between the at least one element and an edge of the user interface.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the text can be rendered in multiple ways based on different methods of overall degree of differentiation.

17. A method of text rendering comprising:

causing a change of rendering of each of a plurality of text elements on a user interface of an information device, a rate of an appearance change of each of the text elements determined by a predetermined preference of the each of the text elements, wherein the text is rendered with an overall degree of differentiation of each of the text elements, the overall degree of differentiation of each of the text elements adjustable by the user.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein:

the text element comprises one or more of the following;

a letter;

a number;

a symbol;

a word;

a set of words;

a syllable;

a set of syllables;

a character;

a set of characters;

a line of words rendered via the user interface;

more than one line of words;

a rendered paragraph;

more than one rendered paragraph;

a sentence; and

more than one sentence.

19. A method of text rendering comprising:

causing a change of rendering of each of a plurality of text elements on a user interface of an information device, a rate of an appearance change of each of the text elements determined by a predetermined preference of the each of the text elements.
