Maximizing information throughput for multimedia browsing on small displays

As a great many new devices with diverse capabilities are having a population boom, their limited display sizes become the major obstacle that has undermined their usefulness for information access. We introduce our recent research on adapting multimedia content, including images, videos and Web pages, for browsing on small-form-factor devices. A theoretical framework as well as a set of novel methods for presenting and rendering multimedia under limited screen sizes is proposed to improve the user experience. The content modeling and processing are provided as subscription-based Web services on the Internet. Experiments show that our approach is extensible and able to achieve satisfactory results with high efficiency.
