The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for applying transformations to extensible documents, enabling reductions in the processing time required to transform arbitrarily-structured documents having particular well-defined elements. Signatures for structured document types are defined, along with one or more transformations to be performed upon documents of that type. The transformations are specified using syntax elements referred to as maps. A map specifies an operation code for the transformation to be performed, and describes the input and output of the associated transformation. A special map processing engine locates an appropriate transformation object to a particular input document at run-time, and applies the transformation operation according to the map definition. This technique is preferably used for a set of predetermined core transformations, with other transformations being processed using stylesheet engines of the prior art. The input documents may be encoded in the Extensible Markup Language (XML), or in other structured notations. The techniques of the present invention are particularly well suited to use in high-volume and throughput-sensitive environments such as that encountered by business-to-business transaction servers.

In a server a source document is represented as a source document object model (13). For delivery of the source document to a user device such as a mobile phone the server dynamically selects transformation maps (10) and merges them to provide a compound map (12). The maps (10) are selected according to characteristics of the delivery channel and of the user device. The source DOM (13) is then transformed into a target DOM (14) in a single pass. Each node of the source DOM (13) self-transforms using the map rules. At the node level the transformation may change node attributes and / or node-to-node relationships.

As mobile handsets are typically much slower than desktops for processing intensive applications, and as XSL-based XML document transformations (or XSLT) are processing intensive, such transformations are costly on mobile devices both because of execution time and energy consumption. While other processing intensive applications, such as voice communication and graphics rendering, have exploited options in the design of mobile processor architecture, similar methodologies have not been applied to XSLT processing. A method for parallelizing XSLT processing on devices with multiple processors is therefore devised. The method divides XSLT processing into separately schedulable subtasks, synchronizes these subtasks, and schedules such subtasks on multiple processors for improved time and energy efficiency.

Document version interoperability is provided by allowing members of a community to maintain independent migration by permitting the members to continue to run native application software on their respective systems. A community may define a community version by establishing certain rules for documents. When electronically transmitting a document, a member of the community may provide in the transmitted message containing the document his native version of the document, the community version of the document, as well as any or all versions of the document which are closer to the community version of the document than his native version of the document. This may be accomplished by performing document transformations when creating the message. Upon receipt of the documents, the recipient may choose the document version contained in the message that is most easily read by the recipient's native application program and transform it so that it may be opened by the recipients native application program if necessary. Regardless of what rules are established to define the community version, data loss in any document exchange is minimized. Entities that follow these rules can migrate their native support without requiring coordination with other entities. Members do not have to know the native version supported by other members. This ensures privacy for the members and also lessens the need for direct communications between the members.

A flexible and scalable file format conversion system is capable of supporting a number of contemporaneous conversion requests. For each file, a conversion request entry and one or more related conversion task entries are maintained in FIFO queues under the control of a distribution manager program. Conversion operations are handled by application programs under the control of associated graphical processor programs. Conversion tasks are assigned to graphical processors by the distribution manager based on the conversion capabilities of the associated application program. The uploaded files received from clients for conversion are stored in a shared folder pending access by the assigned graphical processor. The graphical processors have a uniform interface with the queues and the memory. The results of the processing are stored in the shared folder where they are subsequently accessed by the web server and transmitted back to the client.

The invention provides a method for transforming and displaying a document on a webpage. The method comprises the following steps: a Web server receives an uploaded document to be transformed, runs a document transformation detection function, and recursively detects whether a transformation state document exists in a Web server returned document transformation directory. A document transformation server acquires the document to be converted from the Web server, calls a portable document format (PDF) transformation tool to acquire and store a PDF document, and returns to an absolute path of the PDF document. The document transformation server calls a small web format (swf) transformation tool which converts the PDF document into a swf document according to the absolute path of the acquired PDF document. The Web server acquires the transformation state document which is positioned in the document transformation directory. After the document transformation detection function detects that the transformation state document exists in the Web server returned document transformation directory, the transformation state document is analyzed, and the swf document acquired by transformation is played on the webpage according to the transformation state document.
