Abstract

See full text

A computing device includes a housing, a display assembly having a screen, and a processor to display at least a portion of an initial page state for a paginated content item. A tactile interface is provided on a surface of the housing to produce a plurality of acoustic signals based on user interactions. An audio input device is provided with a portion of the housing to detect the acoustic signals produced by the tactile interface. The processor is to interpret the plurality of acoustic signals produced by the tactile interface as a plurality of user inputs, respectively, wherein one or more acoustic signals of a first type correspond with a page turn instruction. The processor further responds to acoustic signals of the first type by transitioning from displaying at least the initial page state to displaying another page state as determined by a value or type of the page turn.
