Method and system for delivery of content over disparate communications channels including an electronic book channel
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of providing content to a user via communications over a plurality of disparate transmission channels including an e-book transmission channel, comprising:
- providing content to the user via a first transmission channel in the plurality of disparate transmission channels for presentation, wherein the first transmission channel is an e-book transmission channel that transmits the content to a first computing device for display to the user, wherein pre-defined metadata associated with the content identifies a content event trigger at a point in the content, wherein the content event trigger is associated with a user accessing a page of an e-book;
when the content event trigger is reached, transmitting supplemental content to the user via a second transmission channel in the plurality of disparate transmission channels, the second transmission channel transmitting the supplemental content to a second computing device;
wherein the first computing device and the second computing device are different computing devices.

Abstract
Computer-implemented systems and methods of providing content to a user via communications between a content provider and a user over a plurality of disparate communication channels are provided. Content is provided to a user via a first transmission channel for presentation. Metadata associated with the content identifies a content event trigger at a point in the content. The content is displayed using a first presentation system. When the content event trigger is reached, supplemental content is provided to the user via a second transmission channel. The supplemental content is provided to the user during continued presentation of the content, and the supplemental content is provided to the user using a content providing system that is wholly separate from the first presentation system.

23. A computer-implemented system for providing content to a user via communications between a content provider and the user over a plurality of disparate transmission channels including an e-book transmission channel, comprising:
-
one or more data processors; one or more computer-readable mediums encoded with instructions to command the one or more data processors to execute steps of a method including; providing content to the user via a first transmission channel in the plurality of disparate transmission channels for presentation, wherein the first transmission channel is an e-book transmission channel that transmits the content to a first computing device for display to the user, wherein pre-defined metadata associated with the content identifies a content event trigger at a point in the content, wherein the content event trigger is associated with a user accessing a page of an e-book; when the content event trigger is reached, transmitting supplemental content to the user via a second transmission channel in the plurality of disparate transmission channels, the second transmission channel transmitting the supplemental content to a second computing device; wherein the first computing device and the second computing device are different computing devices.

24. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions for commanding one or more data processors to execute steps of a method of providing content to a user via communications between a content provider and the user over a plurality of disparate transmission channels including an e-book transmission channel, the method comprising:
-
providing content to the user via a first transmission channel in the plurality of disparate transmission channels for presentation, wherein the first transmission channel is an e-book transmission channel that transmits the content to a first computing application for display to the user, wherein pre-defined metadata associated with the content identifies a content event trigger at a point in the content, wherein the content event trigger is associated with a user accessing a page of an e-book; when the content event trigger is reached, transmitting supplemental content to the user via a second transmission channel in the plurality of disparate transmission channels, the second transmission channel transmitting the supplemental content to a second computing application; wherein the first computing application and the second computing application are different computing applications on a same computing device.
