Abstract: An improved system and method for maintaining a view location during the rendering of content on a display of an electronic device. When a user views a web page or similar content while the content is in the process of being loaded onto the display of the electronic device, a reference point is selected corresponding to a portion of the web page that appears on the display. As additional material is downloaded, it is added to the web page. If the new material is located on a portion of the web page before the reference point, then the portion of the web page that appears on the display is substantially maintained.

Abstract: A system and method for handling absolute positioning of content in an optimized layout on a display of an electronic device. Content in an original layout is provided, with the content including a primary element. A background element is identified, and a model of the content is calculated, the calculation includes the determination of the position of the primary element relative to the position of the background element. The primary element is positioned in the optimized layout in the same position relative to the background element as in the original layout.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optimization of digital content being presented on the display. In a method for optimizing content, the content is analyzed and at least one sequence element is determined. According to this sequence element, said content is portioned into at least two portions, whereby an operation for at least one portion is performed.
