Claim 1. A method for dynamically creating [Col. 01, Line 6-10] The present invention relates to systems and methods for organizing viewing
a display document to fit on at least one materials and, more particularly, to systems and methods for organizing viewing materials associated
display device in a computer network based with web sites on visual display screens and windows on and within which the viewing materials, e.g.,
on one or more display limitations of the home or web pages, are being viewed.
display device and one or more viewing
preferences of a user of the display device,
the method comprising the steps of:

providing one or more source contents in a [Col. 11, Line 53-59] Referring now to FIG. 8, web page data (URL/CGI instructions received by
predetermined format; module 207 through the search module 205 in FIG. 3) is represented as block 800. As explained, web
page data consists of visual objects of different types, e.g., icons, text, graphic images. These objects
have different sizes and locations when they are represented on a screen.
recognizing the display limitations of the [Col. 06, Line 56-64] The display mode message can be represented as a mode number that uniquely
display device from a first information defines display parameters. For instance, it is contemplated by the invention that tables may be created
source; which contain display characteristics or parameters associated with a given display terminal and each
table can be identified by a unique mode number. Eventually, if the adaptor server 107 contained
tables (stored in its mass storage 18) of most common display parameters associated with display
screens, then the user's machine 100 need only transmit the mode number and, in response, the
adaptor server 107 could locate the appropriate table and use the information accordingly.

determining the viewing preferences of the [Col. 11, Line 42-53] Prioritization depends on such factors as, for example, the importance of
user from a second information source; information contained in an object and/or how often this object (link) is visited by this particular
user or all users. Such information used to make priority decisions may be obtained from
information previously enrolled by, or extracted from, a user and stored in a user database 803.
This information may include, for example, user profiles, histories of visits to particular web sites by
users, statistics of visits to particular web sites depending on user profiles. The database 803 may
also contains “cookies” with information about user preferences.

selecting one or more preferred display [Col. 11, Line 42-50] Prioritization depends on such factors as, for example, the importance of
contents from the source contents by a information contained in an object and/or how often this object (link) is visited by this particular
mapping system in conformance with the user or all users. Such information used to make priority decisions may be obtained from
display limitations and the viewing preferences; information previously enrolled by, or extracted from, a user and stored in a user database 803.
and [Col. 11, Line 14-24] As mentioned, objects in group S1 are prioritized in the prioritizer 802.
generating the display document containing the Therein, objects are numerated in accordance with their importance. The priority is taken into
preferred display contents to be displayed on account in further transformations of web pages. For example, if a first object has higher priority
the display device. than another object and both objects cannot together fit a small display screen, then the object of
higher priority is displayed on the screen and the object of lower priority is displayed as a hypertext
link to another (newly created) web page where such lower priority object can be fully displayed.
An example of prioritization is illustrated in FIG. 10.
