Abstract: A system and method for scaling images to fit a screen on a mobile device. The images are scaled according to a non-linear scale factor to increase usability of the images. The larger images are scaled more aggressively than the smaller images according to the non-linear scale factor such that the images are viewed at a maximum size while fitting the images within the screen width.

Abstract: A system and method is included for scaling blocks of data according to an optimal width to increase usability of the data when scaling the blocks of data to fit a screen on a mobile device. The optimal width provides a minimum width to which the block of data may be scaled, such that scaling the block of data to a level where usability of the data is compromised is avoided.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for block scaling data in order to fit the data to a screen on a mobile device such that “horizontal scrolling” is minimized. The method of block scaling recursively fits blocks within other blocks within further blocks to dynamically optimize the content for a smaller screen. The block scaling is based upon a minimum width for each block depending on the type of data included in each block. The blocks are scaled to the available screen size unless the minimum width for any given block is larger than the screen of the mobile device. When the minimum width is wider than the screen, the data defaults to the minimum width in order to preserve the integrity of the data.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamically displaying data items on a client computer. In one aspect of the invention, the client computer displays a graphical user interface having a windowing environment and a desktop. The desktop includes a ticker display pane for dynamically displaying the data items. The data items may contain hyperlinks so that a user has access to information on multiple server computers. The data items are displayed in a substantially continuous sequence and may be provided from Internet servers, Intranet servers, LAN servers, and/or the client computer itself.
