Abstract

[Object] To generate display of electronic book content in which a content has been changed flexibly.
[Solution] Provided is an information processing device including: an information acquiring unit that acquires editing information for electronic book content, and position information indicating an area linked to the editing information in the electronic book content; and a screen generating unit that generates a screen in which the area indicated by the position information has been edited using the editing information.

First claim

1 . An information processing device comprising:
an information acquiring unit that acquires editing information for electronic book content, and position information indicating an area linked to the editing information in the electronic book content; and a screen generating unit that generates a screen in which the area indicated by the position information has been edited using the editing information.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the position information is represented using a sentence structure of the electronic book content.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the electronic book content is reflowable content having a dynamic fluid layout.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the editing information is an image, and wherein the screen generating unit generates a screen including the editing information as a page next to a page including the area linked to the editing information.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the screen generating unit generates a screen in which display of an area edited using the editing information has been emphasized.

6 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising
an information linking unit that links the editing information to position information indicating an area edited using the editing information in the electronic book content, on the basis of user input.

7 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the information acquiring unit further acquires additional information for the electronic book content, and position information indicating an area linked to the additional information in the electronic book content, and wherein the screen generating unit generates a screen in which display of the area indicated by the position information and the additional information are arranged in association with each other.

8 . The information processing device according to claim 7 ,
wherein the screen generating unit generates a screen in which a piece of the additional information linked to the area in the electronic book content, and display of the area are arranged in association with each other.

9 . The information processing device according to claim 7 ,
wherein the screen generating unit generates a screen in which an effect has been added to display of the area, on the basis of the number of pieces of the additional information linked to the area in the electronic book content.

10 . The information processing device according to claim 7 ,
wherein a piece of the additional information is linked to another piece of additional information, and wherein the screen generating unit generates a screen in which the piece of the additional information and the another piece of the additional information are arranged in association with each other.

11 . The information processing device according to claim 7 , further comprising
a selection screen generating unit that generates a selection screen in which an image indicating the electronic book content is arranged.

12 . The information processing device according to claim 11 ,
wherein the selection screen generating unit generates a screen in which display of the image indicating the electronic book content has been changed, on the basis of whether or not the electronic book content is editable.

13 . The information processing device according to claim 12 ,
wherein the selection screen generating unit generates a screen in which display of the image indicating the electronic book content has been changed, on the basis of a generation history of the editing information in the electronic book content.

14 . The information processing device according to claim 11 ,
wherein the selection screen generating unit generates a screen in which a piece of the additional information linked to the electronic book content, and the image indicating the electronic book content are arranged in association with each other.

15 . The information processing device according to claim 11 ,
wherein the selection screen generating unit generates a screen in which display of the image indicating the electronic book content has been changed, on the basis of the number of pieces of the additional information linked to the electronic book content.

16 . An information processing method comprising:
acquiring editing information for electronic book content, and position information indicating an area linked to the editing information in the electronic book content; and generating, by a processor, a screen in which the area indicated by the position information has been edited using the editing information.

17 . A program causing a computer to function as:
an information acquiring unit that acquires editing information for electronic book content, and position information indicating an area linked to the editing information in the electronic book content; and a screen generating unit that generates a screen in which the area indicated by the position information has been edited using the editing information.

18 . An information processing device comprising:
an information acquiring unit that acquires additional information for electronic book content, and position information representing a position of an image linked to the additional information in the electronic book content and a position on the image by using a sentence structure of the electronic book content; and a screen generating unit that generates a screen in which display at the position on the image indicated by the position information, and the additional information are arranged in association with each other.

19 . The information processing device according to claim 18 ,
wherein the electronic book content is reflowable content having a dynamic fluid layout.

20 . The information processing device according to claim 18 ,
wherein the screen generating unit generates a screen in which a piece of the additional information linked to the image, and display on the image are arranged in association with each other.

21 . The information processing device according to claim 18 ,
wherein the screen generating unit generates a screen in which an effect has been added to the image, on the basis of the number of pieces of the additional information linked to the image.

22 . The information processing device according to claim 18 ,
wherein the additional information is an edited image obtained by editing the image linked to the additional information.

23 . The information processing device according to claim 18 , further comprising
an information linking unit that links the additional information, and position information representing a position of the image to which the additional information is added and a position on the image by using a sentence structure of the electronic book content, on the basis of user input.

24 . An information processing method comprising:
acquiring additional information for electronic book content, and position information representing a position of an image linked to the additional information in the electronic book content and a position on the image by using a sentence structure of the electronic book content; and generating, by a processor, a screen in which display of the position on the image indicated by the position information, an
