Abstract

Web contents created for desktop screens give rise to problems when they are to be diplayed on the small screens of mobile terminals. While in some cases some of the objects of a page may not be displayable due to the lack of browser capability, the entire page may not ne displayable due to the incompatibility with the brouwser in other cases. In this paper, we introduce a new mobile content adaptation approach based on clipping, which transforms an original page into one that is optimally displayed on a mobile terminal. in this method, a source page is automatically clipped and tranformed according to the clip specification made by the content provider using a clip editing tool. The clip editing tool allows the user to specify group clips, multi-level clips and dynamic clips as well as simple clips, and the presentation layout through a graphic user interface. Based on the clip specifications, each clip is transformed into an intermediate meta-language document, which in turn is transformed into a presentation page in the target markup language. Transcoding of image objects in major image file formatis is also supported.
