Abstract

A methodology for displaying a website on a hand held display device (HHDD) is disclosed. The present invention comprises an Image Modification Program (IMP) and a Navigation Program (NP). The IMP analyzes the webpage HTML to determine if an image is present and if the image exceeds the allotted image display space on the HHDD display screen. The IMP calculates the required number of x-axis and y-axis divisions and fragments the image accordingly. The IMP displays the reduced web page on the HHDD, but replaces the reduced image with a fragment from the fragmented image. The fragment is displayed at the intended resolution allowing the user to view a portion of the image at full size, as opposed to the whole image at a reduced size. The NP of the present invention allows the user to move from one fragment to another. An alternative embodiment utilizing a proxy is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is directed generally to an apparatus and method for displaying web pages on a handheld display device, and in particular to an apparatus and method for displaying segments of an image at a desired resolution of the image.
