Embodiment Construction

[0016] Publishers are increasing the amount of graphic novel content available in digital form. There also exists a large print corpus of graphic novels, comics, and comic strips dating back to the nineteenth century. Some historians even argue that the works of art produced by ancient civilizations such as Roman Trajan's Column and the Bayeux Tapestries are essentially the same art form. For convenience, the term "graphic novel" is used herein to refer to any such content that comprises an ordered series of images with a narrative flow.

Abstract

Digital graphic novel content is received and a machine-learning model is applied to predict features of the digital graphic novel content. The predicted features include locations of a plurality of panels and a reading order of the plurality of panels. A packaged digital graphic novel is created that includes the digital graphic novel content and presentation metadata. The presentation metadata indicates a manner in which the digital graphic novel content should be presented based on the locations and reading order of the plurality of panels. The packaged digital graphic novel is provided toa reading device to be presented in accordance with the manner indicated in the presentation metadata.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter described herein relates generally to digital graphic novels, and in particular to providing automatic or semi-automatic navigation of digital graphic novel content. Background technique [0002] Electronic books ("ebooks") are beginning to appear in various formats such as the International Digital Publishing Forum's Electronic Publications (EPUB) standard and the Portable Document Format (PDF). E-books can be read using various devices such as dedicated reading devices, general mobile devices, tablet computers, notebook computers, and desktop computers. Each device includes reading software ("ereader") for displaying electronic books to a user. [0003] Graphic novels are a form of visual narrative traditionally delivered through print media. However, publishers are increasingly using e-readers to deliver this content, especially on phones and tablets. Typical e-readers provide navigation tools developed primarily with text-base...
