Patent ID: 8904304

Claim:
A system comprising: an association server computing system configured to embed at least one of a plurality of secondary content data from a secondary content database with at least one of a plurality of primary content pages of an electronic book from a primary content database, and to embed a Y-axis slide apart gesture module to at least one of the plurality of primary content pages of the electronic book, the Y-axis slide apart gesture module configured to execute at a touch-sensitive content rendering device and only on the primary content pages with which it is embedded such that at least one of the plurality of secondary content data is made visible when a Y-axis slide apart gesture is applied to a notification region of the at least one primary content page, the notification region being located at a pre-defined position that is adjacent to lines of content on the at least one primary content page; and an electronic book distribution server computing system configured to provide the content rendering device access to the electronic book having at least one of the plurality of secondary content data and at least one of the plurality of primary content pages; wherein the Y-axis slide apart gesture that is applied to the notification region of at least one of the plurality of primary content pages separates the lines of content adjacent to the notification region in a manner such that the lines of content adjacent to the notification region separate synchronously with an open tactile motion of the Y-axis slide apart gesture and reveals an exposed pane between the separated lines of content through which at least one of the plurality of secondary content data is made visible.
