Abstract

Recently, with the wide spread of the Internet and development of wireless network technology, it has now become possible to access web pages anytime, anywhere through devices with small display such as PDA But, since most existing web pages are optimized for desktop computers, browsing web pages on the small screen through wireless network requires more scrolling and longer loading time. In this paper, we propose a page reconstruction scheme called PageMap to make it feasible to navigate existing web pages through small screen devices even on the wireless connection. Reconstructed pages reduce the file and page size and thus eventually reduce resource requirements. We have Implemented a prototype system and performed several experiments for typical web sites. We report some of the results.

최근 들어 인터넷이 광범위하게 보급되고 무선 이동통신 기술이 눈부시게 발전하면서 무선 단말기를 통한 인터넷 상에서의 정보 검색이 시간과 장소에 구애받지 않고 가능하게 되었다. 하지만 무선 단말기를 통한 인터넷의 접근은 단말기 자체의 제한과 무선망의 제한으로 인해 기존 데스크 탑 컴퓨터의 유선 상에서 보다 웹 페이지 탐색에 많은 어려움을 가진다. 본 논문은 이러한 제약을 완화시키기 위해서 웹 페이지로부터 페이지 정보를 축소한 페이지 맵을 생성하여 웹 정보를 쉽게 검색할 수 있게 하는 페이지 재구성 시스템을 제안한다. 그리고 대표적인 웹 사이트에 대한 실험을 통해 제안한 시스템이 무선 단말기 상에서 빠른 웹 페이지 로딩 속도를 보장하며, 작은 스크린을 통해서도 효율적인 웹 탐색이 가능함을 보인다.
