A method and system for converting interactive animated information content for display on handheld or mobile devices is presented. Information content that includes files with frames intended to be sequentially played out for display may be converted into a single frame or a smaller collection of frames for display on a device, so that a user of a device may have access to some of the content contained in the file. A server may receive a request for information content that includes a file with frames for playout, and the server will playout the file in an accelerated manner so as to arrive at one or more selected frames quickly. The server will then send the selected frames, or intermediary frames reached during playout, to a client device that requested the web page, for example.

Method and system for converting interactive animated information content for display on mobile devices

A system and method is provided for enabling an electronic device to efficiently access information content. A server browser accesses the information content over a network. The accessed information content is retrieved and adapted for presentation for the electronic device. A serializer dynamically formats the adapted information content according to a client browser. The client browser receives and presents the information content on the electronic device. An event translator is included to provide additional compatibility with commercially available client browsers. The information content is formatted to selectively minimize the horizontal scrolling required to view the content. The need for horizontal scrolling is selectively removed where not necessary to preserve the context. Each component or sub-component of the original area, such as a frame, table row, table cell or nested table, is considered separately and may be preserved, resized, or replaced. Where the context requires that the content be wider than the viewable area of the screen, horizontal scrolling is preserved.

System and method for providing and displaying information content

A chart parser and a method for generating a parse chart for a sequence of input symbols in accordance with an abbreviated representation of a grammar. According to the method, an abbreviated representation of a grammar is stored as a set of finite-state automata, each finite-state automaton corresponding to a rule of the grammar. Chart edges are derived chart edges from the sequence of input symbols in accordance with the set of finite-state automata and are stored in the parse chart. Each chart edge spans a portion of the sequence of input symbols and may include a left input vertex index corresponding to the start of the span of the chart edge, a right input vertex index corresponding to the end of the span of the chart edge, a rule number, indicating which finite-state automaton of the plurality of finite-state automata has been used to generate the chart edge, a left state index, indicating the left most state of the finite-state automaton that has been matched and a right state index, indicating the right most state of the finite-state automaton that has been matched, the left-hand side of the rule and a path through the finite state comprising the right-hand side of the rule or so-called backpointers to the edges used to derive the current edge. The chart parser includes a chart controller and an agenda controller, together with associated memory.
