  • Publication number: 20140164404
    Abstract: An approach is provided for proxy-based content discovery and delivery. A proxy platform determines usage information for at least one user of a proxy server. The usage information includes, at least in part, browser history information, web application data usage information, or a combination thereof determined by the proxy server to be associated with the at least one user. The proxy platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of the usage information to determine at least one user profile for the at least one user. The proxy platform then determines one or more recommendations for the at least one user based, at least in part, on the at least one user profile.

  • Publication number: 20100268773
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for enabling an electronic device to efficiently access information content. A server browser accesses the information content over a network. The accessed information content is retrieved and adapted for presentation for the electronic device. A serializer dynamically formats the adapted information content according to a client browser. The client browser receives and presents the information content on the electronic device. An event translator is included to provide additional compatibility with commercially available client browsers. The information content is formatted to selectively minimize the horizontal scrolling required to view the content. The need for horizontal scrolling is selectively removed where not necessary to preserve the context. Each component or sub-component of the original area, such as a frame, table row, table cell or nested table, is considered separately and may be preserved, resized, or replaced.

  • Publication number: 20090125809
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for efficiently adapting information content for an electronic device. A normalizer includes a template normalizer for matching and applying a document tree to a template tree, and applying changes to the document tree. If the template normalizer does not find an appropriate template match, an automatic normalizer is utilized. The automatic normalizer utilizes weighting heuristics and pattern recognition with formatting rules to partition content into folders. The automatic normalizer can also utilize embedded normalization markup in the information content to assist in normalizing the information content. Information content can be represented by a document object tree. A document object tree is created by storing information relating to the information content into arrays. The stored information describes a document object tree structure and tree dependencies as a mutable object.
