A web browsing system based on adaptive presentation of web contents for cellular phones

Cellular phones have already been widely used to access the Web. However, most existing Web pages are designed for desktop PCs, and thus, it is inconvenient to browse these large Web pages on a cellular phone with a small screen and poor interfaces. Users who browse a Web page on a cellular phone have to scroll the whole page to find an objective content, and then, have to scroll within the content in detail to get useful information. In this paper, we propose a novel browsing system to break off these burdensome operations by adaptively presenting Web contents according to their characteristics. Categories and Subject Descriptors H.4.3 [Communications Applications]: Information browsers; H.5.2 [User Interfaces]: User-centered design— Screen design General Terms Human Factors Keywords Cellular phone, Web browsing, Overview, Adaptive presentation
