Web Page Transcoding with Segmentation and Location Icons
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional transcoding techniques for web pages on mobile terminals do not provide users with information about the structure of the web page, making it difficult for users to navigate and find desired content, as the pages are often divided into segments and cannot be fully displayed due to limited screen size and capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that transcode web pages by dividing them into segments, analyzing the structure, and associating each segment with location icons, allowing users to select and view specific segments on a mobile terminal, thereby providing a clear representation of the web page structure and location of content.

1Area of stationary object
If a web page is divided into multiple segments to fit mobile terminal screens, then the web page can be displayed on mobile terminals with limited screen size, but users cannot grasp the structure of the web page and locate desired content
Solution Approach 1:
The web page is divided into multiple segments corresponding to different display areas, with each segment associated with a location icon. This segmentation allows the content to fit mobile screens while the location icons preserve the structural information, enabling users to understand the overall page layout and navigate to specific segments.
Solution Approach 2:
Location icons are introduced as intermediary elements that represent different segments of the web page. These icons serve as a mediator between the segmented content and the user, providing visual cues about the page structure and enabling easy navigation without displaying the entire page at once.
2Ease of operation
If sequential page indicators are provided for navigation, then users can view different portions of the web page, but users still cannot understand the overall structure and location of content
Solution Approach 1:
Location icons are displayed with different visual characteristics (such as coloring or highlighting) to indicate their current state - whether they represent the currently displayed segment or other segments. This visual differentiation helps users understand their location within the web page structure and navigate more effectively.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for transcoding a web page into a format suitable for display on a mobile terminal. The method includes dividing a web page into a plurality of segments, transcoding each of the segments into a format suitable for display on a mobile terminal, storing the transcoded segments and location icons in association with each other, each of the location icons indicating a location of each segment in the web page, and if one of the location icons is selected on the mobile terminal, providing a segment associated with the selected location icon to the mobile terminal.
