Flipping pages could soon be possible on an e-book
Flipping pages could soon be possible on an e-book A research team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, headed by Professor Howon Lee, has developed a technology that will make reading on smartphones and tablet PCs easier. The technology, called the “Smart E-book System,” allows users of smartphones and tablet PCs to effortlessly flip through the pages of an e-book or cross-reference its contents, just as they would with paperbased books and magazines. Unlike conventional displays and user interface technologies, where users’ finger movements are locked within the screen of display, the Smart E-book System recognises finger touches made beyond the screen. In other words, this algorithm-based conversion technology detects “touch and entry events” on the bezel (circumference) of smartphones and tablet PCs and connects them with the “events” occurring within the screen, thereby preserving compatibility with traditional e-book interfaces while providing users with new functions. Therefore, users can readily flip the pages of an e-book from the start-up screen without entering any function keys or touching the screen.
