A Content Clipping System for Web Browsing Using Cellular Phones

Abstract

While Bookmark and Screen-memo memorize Web pages for future re-visit, re-visiting Web pages by using Bookmark or Screen-memo still requires a large amount of operation for cellular-phone users since the screen sizes of cellular phones are generally much smaller than the sizes of Web pages. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a content clipping system for Web browsing using cellular phones. This system presents multiple candidates for clipping a content, then, mobile users can easily specify the clipped target. Moreover, this system semi-automatically generates tags attached to the contents and automatically classifies the clipped contents. By using this system, users can easily specify contents of interest in Web pages and re-visit them with simple operations.
