DEVICE-INDEPENDENT CONTENT ACQUISITION AND PRESENTATION

摘要

A request for information is received from a device over a global communications network (100). A device type is identified, the device type comprising a communication format, a browser type, and a hardware type (102). The content is retrieved in response to the request and is formatted in a standard markup language regardless of the identified device type (104). One of the computer language objects for the identified communication format, one of the browser objects for the browser type and one of the device objects for the identified hardware type are retrieved from at least one of the data sources (106). Based on the objects, the content is reformatted into a language that enables display of the content on the device, and is delivered to the device over the global communications network (108).
