Abstract:
1. A computing device comprising: a display; a wireless communication port configured to communicate with an external source to receive or access data corresponding to a portion of a data collection, the data collection being formatted to include a plurality of pages that are pre-arranged in a designated order, and wherein each page in the data collection is independently presentable; a memory configured to store at least a portion of the data collection; processing resources coupled to the display, the wireless communication port and the memory, the processing resources including a first processor and a second processor, wherein the second processor is configured to control the wireless communication port, and wherein the first processor is configured to store in the memory, the portion of the data collection using data received or accessed by the wireless communication port the processing resources being configured to present one or more pages from the data collection on the display by retrieving the one or more pages from the memory and driving the display to present the one or more pages; and an analog sensor device coupled to the processing resources, the sensor device detecting an input, wherein, in response to the input, either of the first processor or the second processor (i) controls the wireless communication port or (ii) stores the data; and wherein the processing resources are configured to correlate any one of a magnitude or direction of the input with a characteristic of page turning, and respond to the input by presenting at least portions of multiple pages from the data collection on the display in place of the presented one or more pages in order to simulate the characteristic of page turning.
