    Abstract: Generic media covers can be generated for digital media items submitted by publishers without a personalized media cover. A generic media cover can be generated for a media item by hashing a unique identifier of the media item that remains consistent throughout the life cycle of the media item. Bytes of the hashed value can be translated into graphic parameters which are used to generate the generic graphic. The graphic parameters can be attached to the generic graphic, thus allowing a user to regenerate the generic graphic at a desired resolution at a later point in time. Also disclosed are techniques for ensuring that generic media covers for a bundle of media items appear substantially similar.

    Abstract translation: 可以为发布商提交的数字媒体项目生成通用媒体封面,而不需要个性化的媒体封面。 可以通过在媒体项目的整个生命周期中保持一致的媒体项目的唯一标识符来为媒体项目生成通用媒体封面。 哈希值的字节可以转换为用于生成通用图形的图形参数。 图形参数可以附加到通用图形,从而允许用户在稍后的时间点以期望的分辨率重新生成通用图形。 还公开了用于确保用于一组媒体项目的通用媒体覆盖的技术显示出基本相似的技术。

    Abstract: A system is configured to generate renditions of an electronic book. Different renditions of the electronic book contain the same collection of assets with at least one asset being a different quality. When the electronic book is requested by a client device, links to different renditions of the electronic book are provided. The client device can select a link and a rendition of the electronic book can be delivered to the client device.

    Abstract: According to some embodiments, techniques are described herein to assist a publisher to create fixed layout pages of an electronic publication. The techniques are useful for creating cookbooks, travel books, photography books, children's books, other "illustrated books", or any other electronic publication where a fixed layout for at least some of the pages of the electronic publication is desirable. With the techniques, the publisher may embed fonts, select particular fonts and font sizes, assign visual content to fixed layout pages, and precisely position visual content at fixed positions on fixed layout pages. A scaling mechanism for an electronic reader device is also disclosed for scaling fixed layout pages to fit the size of a display screen of the reader device while maintaining the aspect ratio and assignment of visual content to fixed layout pages specified by the publisher.

    Abstract translation: 根据一些实施例,本文描述了技术来帮助发行者创建电子出版物的固定布局页面。 这些技术对于创建食谱,旅游书籍,摄影书籍,儿童读物,其他“图解书”或任何其他电子出版物是有用的,其中电子出版物的至少一些页面的固定布局是理想的。 使用这些技术,发布商可以嵌入字体,选择特定的字体和字体大小,将可视内容分配给固定的布局页面,并将可视内容精确地定位在固定布局页面上的固定位置。 还公开了一种用于电子阅读器设备的缩放机构,用于缩放固定布局页面以适应读取器设备的显示屏幕的尺寸,同时保持宽高比并将视觉内容分配给由发布者指定的固定布局页面。

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for building a software application is disclosed. The method includes: generating a plurality of application resources; creating a plurality of tags; applying one of the tags on each of the plurality of application resources; grouping the application resources by their tags to form at least two asset packs, each identifiable by at least one tag shared by all application resources in the asset pack; and creating an asset pack manifest comprising a location of each of the asset packs and an order in which the asset packs are to be downloaded.

    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for an application thinning mechanism are described. The thinning mechanism can select a subset of components from a universal application to assemble an application variant to be distributed and installed to a specific type of devices. The universal application may include every component, such as asset, resource or executable, built/developed for targeted device attributes to install one common application to multiple devices. For example, the thinning mechanism can use a trait vector associated with a type of devices to iterate through the components and identify assets to be included or packaged into in each target device specific application or application variant.

    Abstract: Methods and arrangements are provided for the optimized configuration of media bundles to facilitate media presentations on client devices. In particular, media bundles are submitted by content providers for displaying media presentations associated with a video or audio product. The media bundles can contain instructions for presenting content, as well as digital media assets for use in media presentations. The media bundles are then optimized for the formatting and presentation of media content based on the unique display and usage characteristics of the client device, and are displayed on the client device in the optimized fashion.
