A Novel Method of Extracting and Rendering News Web Sites on Mobile Devices

摘要

In this paper, we focus on the problem of displaying news web sites on mobile devices. Our middleware acts as an interface between the existing news web site and user. News items are extracted using spatial location of HTML elements and a DOM based page segmentation algorithm. The nature of the proposed algorithm is dynamic; it learns from the desktop user trails on news items, and correspondingly displays news item of the highest rank on mobile devices. The rank is calculated based on event and access frequency of news item. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm saves highly on the bandwidth usage.
