Patent number: 7716580Abstract: A method for shortening a web page title. The method includes determining if a title of a current web page fits in a title display area of a display. If the title fits the title is displayed in the title area. If the title does not fit, it is determined if the title of the current web page starts with a same word as a title of a previous page. If the title of the current web page starts with the same word, at least one word is removed from a beginning portion of the title of the current page that is in common with the title of the previous page, until the title of the current page fits in the title display area, or there are no more common words in the beginning of the title. End words or letters or end words can be removed until the title fits. Missing words may be indicated by adding a predetermined indicator in the area of the missing or removed words.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2005Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Virpi Roto, Elina Vartiainen, Andrei Popescu, Guido Grassel, Salla Myllyia, Mika Rautava

Publication number: 20090327953Abstract: Web style navigation methods are applied across applications and webpages, whether local or web-based, and hypertext navigation methods used in the web are extended to local applications. Local and web applications are mixed seamlessly so that the user does not perceive any difference between navigation within either one of, or between, those types of applications. The user navigates between different user interface states, in and out of different types of applications. All views and states of views are recorded and the user can switch to a previous view, in the state in which it was viewed, using a back, history or other suitable state recording and retrieval function.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2008Publication date: December 31, 2009Applicant: NOKIA CORPORATIONInventors: Mikko Honkala, Kimmo Kinnunen, Guido Grassel, Yan Qing Cui, Virpi Roto, Mika Rautava

Publication number: 20090210514Abstract: An apparatus for delivering web content to a mobile device may include a processor. The processor may be configured to determine whether a web page may be adapted or should be viewed in its original form, transcode the original web page to generate a transcoded version of the web page if it is determined that the web page may be adapted, and to send data comprising either the original web page of the transcoded version to a remote device. Users may request a different version than the processor's initial determination, and an aggregation of such user preferences may be used to make a better determination of what version to send by default to all users. Corresponding methods, computer program products, and systems are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2008Publication date: August 20, 2009Inventors: Franklin Davis, Guido Grassel

Patent number: 7213072Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for transcoding content communicated in a network. The method features the step of transcoding the content based on permissible transcoding operations authorized by a content creator. The permissible transcoding operations include any transformation, alteration or manipulation of the content. The permissible transcoding operations include: a resolution reduction for reducing a resulting resolution of the content; an aspect ratio modification for specifying a maximum deformation that can be applied to the content when modifying its resolution; a color and bits per pixel modification for specifying if an image can be converted to gray scale or not, and minimum bits per pixel (bpp) or number of colors (or levels) that can be used; cropping for specifying a region of an original picture that must be preserved; and a quality reduction for allowing the content to be further modified by adding some distortions to an image. The content may be images, graphics, video or audio.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2001Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Nokia Mobile PhonesInventors: Stephane Coulombe, Guido Grassel
