Hierarchical Atomic Navigation for Small Display Devices

We present a new transcoding technique for WWW navigation on small display devices: hierarchical atomic navigation (HANd). Unlike previous techniques, HANd shows all original information in a comprehensible way, without imposing the use of a specific browser. A navigator page is used to represent original contents in a symbolic way. Unreadable elements are replaced by icons. These icons are linked to actual individual contents, as a set of atomic pages. HANd pages use standard formats that are supported by any PDA browser. Keywords WWW navigation, PDA, mobile communications.
