  • Publication number: 20080028335
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods and software for creating resolution-independent vector display of Internet (Web) content to allow Web pages to be scaled (zoomed) and panned for better viewing and/or to fit any resolution or screen size. According to one aspect, novel client-side processing of Web content is provided that translates portions of Web content requested by a user from an original format to scalable content including scalable page layout information. The scalable content enables the Web page to be rendered by the client such that the rendered display substantially retains an original page layout defined by the original format, while supporting scaling and panning of the Web content. Thus the user is enabled to easily view and navigate entire Web pages in their original and familiar format on various devices having various screen sizes and resolutions.

  • Publication number: 20070288855
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods and software for facilitating resolution-independent vector display of Internet (Web) content to allow Web pages to be scaled (zoomed) and panned for better viewing and/or to fit any resolution or screen size. According to one aspect, novel server-side processing of HTML-based Web content is provided that translates the Web content to produce translated scalable content comprising a scalable vector representation of the Web content. The translated scalable content is then processed by a client device to enable the Web content to be rapidly rendered, zoomed, and panned. According to another aspect, vector-based display lists are generated to provide further enhancements in rendering speed.

  • Publication number: 20070288841
    Abstract: Mobile devices enabled to support resolution-independent scalable display of Internet (Web) content to allow Web pages to be scaled (zoomed) and panned for better viewing on smaller screen sizes. The mobile devices employ software-based processing of original Web content, including HTML-based content, XML, cascade style sheets, etc. to generate scalable content. The scalable content and/or data derived therefrom are then employed to enable the Web content to be rapidly rendered, zoomed, and panned. Display lists may also be employed to provide further enhancements in rendering speed.

  • Publication number: 20070198917
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods and software for creating resolution-independent vector display of Internet (Web) content to allow Web pages to be scaled (zoomed) and panned for better viewing and/or to fit any resolution or screen size. According to one aspect, novel client-side processing of markup language-based Web content is provided that translates original page layout information into scalable vector-based page layout information. The scalable vector-based page layout information is then employed to enable the Web content to be rapidly rendered, zoomed, and panned. According to another aspect, vector-based display lists are generated to provide further enhancements in rendering speed.

  • Publication number: 20070198916
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods and software for creating resolution-independent vector display of Internet (Web) content to allow Web pages to be scaled (zoomed) and panned for better viewing and/or to fit any resolution or screen size. According to one aspect, novel client-side processing of Web content is provided that translates portions of Web content requested by a user from an original format to a scalable vector-based format. The scalable vector-based format enables the Web content to be rendered by the client such that the rendered display substantially retains an original page layout defined by the original format, while supporting scaling and panning of the Web content in real-time.

  • Publication number: 20050131887
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for creating resolution-independent vector display of Internet content to allow it to be scaled (zoomed) larger and smaller for better viewing or to fit any resolution or screen size. According to one embodiment, novel server processing of Web content is provided that converts Web content requested by a client to a scalable vector format, such as Simple Vector Format. The vector format enables the Web content to be rendered by the client such that the rendered display substantially retains an original page layout defined in mark-up language document(s) in which the Web content is stored. In one embodiment, a proxy server receives Web content requests from a client and translates the content from an original format into a scalable vector representation. The scalable vector representation is then sent to client, where it is scaled and/or offset, enabling users to zoom and/or pan the Web content.
