PROVIDING MOBILE VERSIONS OF WEB RESOURCES

摘要

A transcoding system (1) comprises a mobile communication device (2) that retrieves a web resource using a mobile communication network (3) and the internet (4) via a transcoder (5). The web resource may comprise a web page specifically encoded for the mobile communication device (2). To locate the web page, the mobile communication device (2) sends a request comprising an internet domain name having a top level domain and one or more other elements. The transcoder (5) generates further internet domain names that share the one or more further elements. The transcoder (5) then determines which of the web resources identified by the one or more further internet domain names is most appropriate for the mobile communication device (2) and provides this web resource to the mobile communication device (2).
