CONTEXT AWARE SKIM-READ FRIENDLY TEXT VIEW

摘要

The present disclosure provides a text display system that switches seamlessly between an overview mode and a detailed view mode, depending on passive signals from the user. Accordingly, users can switch between the overview and detailed context using interactions that they use naturally. When looking for interesting things to read, they can naturally scroll fast and be able to see only the important topics of the contents. When they slow down the scrolling, the content will be presented in its original form without highlighting, so the user will be able to consume the content in the true form that the author created. Since there is no active interaction required other than the natural scrolling that users would do anyway, there is no mental hurdle in switching between the overview and detailed contexts, allowing users to find and consume content quickly.
