Methods of scaling and displaying a server-provided image

摘要

A client-server system includes a client in communication with one or more servers. For example, the client server system may be for accessing the World Wide Web ("Web") in response to commands from the user. The client uses a display device to display a server-provided image to the user. The image is scaled down both horizontally and vertically, such that the entire horizontal dimension of the image is visible within the borders of the display device. Information corresponding to several Web pages may be maintained. Based on this information, images corresponding to these Web pages are displayed, each image including a reduced-size version of the corresponding Web page. A user inputted selection of one of these images is then accepted thereby accessing the corresponding Web page.
