Abstract
A transcoding system comprises a mobile communication device that retrieves a web resource using a mobile communication network and the internet via a transcoder. The web resource may comprise a web page intended for use by personal computers (PCs) stored at a web server. The mobile communication device sends a request to the transcoder for the web page, the request including a first URL. In one embodiment, the transcoder recognizes the first URL as relating to a web page on a transcode list. Accordingly, the transcoder retrieves a web page using a second URL based on the first URL according to a mapping record. The transcoder then transcodes the retrieved web page and sends the transcoded web page to the mobile communication device. In another embodiment, the transcoder does not recognize the first URL and instead removes the top level domain of the first URL to generate a truncated URL. The transcoder then retrieves web resources using the truncated URL and variations thereof and, based on an analysis of the web resources retrieved, sends the web resource most likely to be appropriate for the mobile communication device to the device.
