Abstract: The invention automatically controls the zoom level of a web browser to optimize its use with the current web page and display device. When the web browser requests content from a web server by sending the URL of the content over its data connection, a client zoom level manager module detects this request and sends a second request to the server zoom level control module running on a server. While the web server responds to the first request, the server zoom level control module determines if preferred zoom level settings are stored for the URL information that it received. Preferred zoom level settings are sent from the server zoom level control module to the client. The client zoom level manager module uses the received information to adjust the web browser's zoom level to reflect the preferred zoom level settings so optimal web page viewing is enabled without manual user intervention.

Abstract: Method for automatically controlling an on-screen keyboard to optimize its use with a current web page. When a web browser requests content from a web server by sending the URL of the content over its data connection, a client keyboard manager module detects this request and sends a second request with the content URL to the server keyboard control module running on a server. While the web server responds to the first request, the server keyboard control module running on separate server determines if preferred keyboard settings are stored for the URL information that it received from the client. If preferred keyboard settings are found, they are sent from the server keyboard control module to the client. The client keyboard manager module uses the received information to adjust the on-screen keyboard to reflect the preferred keyboard settings so that text entry is enabled with reduced user intervention.
