Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented system for navigating page-oriented information asset, comprising: a memory; and a processor operatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute computer executable program circuits, including: an input/output circuit retrieving a page-oriented information asset, which incorporates audio speech information organized into pages; an element determination circuit determining a plurality of elements within the page-oriented information asset organized into structure levels respectively comprising chapters, sections, paragraphs, sentences and words; a current output element circuit outputting each of the elements via an audio mode during a playback; a context circuit indicating how the current output element relates to the other element and where the current output element is located within the page-oriented information asset and is associated with an animation; a rendering circuit rendering the elements via a visual output mode in a 3-dimension-like rendering during a playback; and a spatial context circuit moving through the structure levels and the pages of the page-oriented information asset during a navigation in a direction indicated by an ordering of the structure levels and by a degree of input speed in a user-generated gesture, wherein the processor determines graphical elements associated with the page-oriented information asset and outputs attention attracting display characteristics via the audio output mode when the graphical elements are associated with the current element in the audio presentation.
