Abstract: An overall processing time to rasterize, at the first device, the electronic document to be rendered is computed. Also, a rendering time to render, at the first device, the electronic document to be rendered is computed. When the overall processing time to rasterize at the first device is greater than the rendering time to render at the first device, the electronic document to be rendered is parsed into a first document and sub-documents. A productivity capacity of each node is determined, the productivity capacity being a measured of the processing power of the node and the communication cost of exchanging information between the first device and the node. A sub-document is rasterized at a node when a productivity capacity of the node reduces the processing time to rasterize the electronic document to be rendered to be less than the computed overall processing time.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for vertically and/or horizontally resizing a zone or DIV element of a Web page via a browser-based Web authoring tool, while preserving a DIV element's ability to dynamically size to its Web content. Drag and drop vertical resizing of a DIV element is accomplished by creating two hidden DIV elements that are set to the specific left/top anchor, width, and altered HTML content of the DIV element to be resized. The two hidden DIV elements provide specific top and bottom pixel height limits to determine when a line break should be appended or decremented to the original DIV element's HTML content. By utilizing line breaks to vertically resize, a DIV element maintains its capability of sizing to dynamic Web content.

Abstract: A method of displaying and navigating information using a hierarchical, spring loaded DHTML menu system that adjusts to fit the boundaries of a resizable, container (FIG. 1). A set of standard HTML table row elements, having a hierachical dependency (11), is consistently displayed as a web-page, under reasonable resizing. This is done using a strut row that produces the largest width requirement when the table structure is resizing to occupy a small width. Only the current row elements and the strut element are required in calculating table resizing to ensure that whichever data elements are displayed when a web-page resizing occurs, the browser auto-layout algorithm calculations will result in a resize attributes that enables all other row elements of that menu to be accommodated by the newly determined table width. As the row elements may themselves be table structures, nested menus of information may be displayed and navigated (12).

Abstract: A client-side handheld device requests a server to convert server-side documents into a compression format prior to transmission of said documents to the client. The server retrieves and converts the requested documents to a raster image that is then compressed according to attributes based on information received from the client device in the initial document request. Instead of having to manipulate multiple formats which the original documents are in and supported by the server, the client-side device is preferably optimized in hardware and/or software to support and otherwise take advantage of the requested compression format. The compressed document is then delivered to the client device, in whole or in part, selectively or progressively over time per individual requests prior to displaying the received data to the end-user. Depending on the requested delivery mode, server-side documents are preferably compressed using wavelet compression methods, such as the JPEG 2000 standard, known in the arts.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for delivering web-page content for a limited-display computing device are disclosed. In one embodiment, upon receiving a web page request from a limited-display computing device (e.g., a palmtop computing device), a transcoding proxy server then transmits the web page request to a server computer that contains the requested web page document. Upon receiving the web page document corresponding to the web page request, the received web page document is searched for a run of images. If the web page document does not include a run of images, the web page document is transcoded using the normal transcoding process. However, when a run of images is found in the document, the images in the run of images are rendered to generate a composite image which is scaled. The remainder of the web page document is transcoded using the normal transcoding process and the results are transmitted, along with the scaled composite image, to the limited-display computing device.
