SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY DISPLAYING STRUCTURALLY DISSIMILAR THUMBNAIL IMAGES OF AN ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for dynamically displaying structurally dissimilar thumbnail images generated from multiple pages of an electronic document, comprising:
- selecting one or more candidate images based on a generated metric for dissimilarity for each one of the multiple images associated with the multiple pages of the electronic document, wherein the metric for dissimilarity for each one of the multiple images is generated by comparing each image of the multiple images with substantially previous images of the multiple images; and
dynamically displaying the selected one or more candidate images as structurally dissimilar thumbnail images based on a display size of a display device.

Abstract
A system and method for dynamically displaying structurally dissimilar thumbnail images generated from multiple pages of an electronic document based on a display size of a display device is disclosed. In one embodiment, one or more candidate images are selected based on a generated metric for dissimilarity for each one of multiple images associated with multiple pages of an electronic document, where the metric for dissimilarity for each one of the multiple images is generated by comparing each image of the multiple images with substantially previous images of the multiple images. Then, the selected one or more candidate images are dynamically displayed as structurally dissimilar thumbnail images based on a display size of a display device.

12. A system for dynamically displaying structurally dissimilar thumbnails generated from multiple pages of an electronic document, comprising:
-
a display device; a processor; and memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory includes a thumbnail display module, and wherein the thumbnail display module selects one or more candidate images based on a generated metric for dissimilarity for each one of the multiple images associated with the multiple pages of the electronic document, and wherein the metric for dissimilarity for each one of the multiple images is generated by comparing each image of the multiple images with substantially previous images of the multiple images, and wherein the thumbnail display module dynamically displays the one or more candidate images as structurally dissimilar thumbnail images based on a display size of a display device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
