Content Adaptation for heterogeneous mobile Devices

Recent advances in mobile computing have spawned a very heterogeneous environment of mobile devices, which is reflected by the presence of the devices’ different capabilities. This chapter focuses on handling this device heterogeneity in the context of content adaptation of mobile services, so that generic content can be provided to any device in the heterogeneity spectrum. We present an approach, which enables mobile services to adapt its content provision to a mobile device by considering the device’s content provision capabilities. Those capabilities encompass both the communication channels for content delivery, and the capabilities to present content to the user. Our approach is designed as a service platform, which implements a content adaptation procedure for web-based mobile services by utilizing device capability databases and generic page transformation. This approach enables mobile devices to visualize any generic content device-specifically on their integrated browsers.     «
