LEGACY DOCUMENT CONVERTER FOR A MOBILE DEVICE

摘要

A computer receives a document which contains one or more fixed sizes that make viewing on the smaller screens of a mobile devices difficult or otherwise impossible. The computer identifies what role the nodes contained in the document will fulfill when generated in a scalable, grid-like format capable of being viewed on smaller screens. The computer identifies and assigns grid positions to the nodes of the document such that the original locations of the nodes of the document are maintained when generated in the viewable format. The computer annotates the document with the identified roles and assigned grid positions such that a mobile adapter may process the annotations in order to generate the document in a format viewable on smaller screen sizes.

1. A method for converting an electronic document for viewing on a mobile device, the method comprising:
receiving a first electronic document having display properties that differ from the display properties of the mobile device, wherein the first electronic document includes one or more nodes; identifying a role of the one or more nodes, wherein the roles include at least one of a row node, a static node, and a sequence node; assigning a grid position to each of the one or more nodes, wherein the grid position corresponds to a position of the one or more nodes in the first electronic document; and annotating the first electronic document with the identified role and assigned one or more grid positions of the one or more nodes, wherein one or more steps of the above method are performed using one or more computers.
