Abstract

Abstract : Small‐screen mobile terminals have difficulty accessing existing Web resources designed for large‐screen devices. This paper presents an adaptive transformation method based on webpage semantic features to solve this problem. According to the text density and link density features of the webpages, the webpages are divided into two types: index and content. Our method uses an index‐based webpage transformation algorithm and a content‐based webpage transformation algorithm. Experiment results demonstrate that our adaptive transformation method is not dependent on specific software and webpage templates, and it is capable of enhancing Web content adaptation on small‐screen terminals.
