Description
Summary:In a mobile computing environment, low functionality of handheld devices restricts services provided for mobile users. We have proposed a concept of collaborative browsing where mobile users collaboratively browse a rich Web page designed for desktop PCs that cannot be displayed on one device. In collaborative browsing, a rich Web page is divided into multiple partial pages and then each of them is distributed to each device. In this paper, we propose a content description method to realize collaborative browsing. We also describe a content partitioning method, by which contents described in the content description method are divided into multiple sets of objects.
