A Unit of Information-Based Content Adaptation Method for Improving Web Content Accessibility in the Mobile Internet

In the mobile Internet, users generally work with handheld devices with limited computing power and small screens. Their access conditions also change frequently. In this paper, the authors present a novel method supporting intelligent content adaptation to better suit handheld devices. The underpinning is a Unit Of Information (UOI) - based content adaptation method, which automatically detects semantic relationships among the components of Web contents and then reorganizes page layout to fit handheld devices based on identified UOIs. Experimental results demonstrate that their method enables more sensitive content adaptation.
