ABSTRACT
We demonstrate a new browsing technique for devices with small displays such as PDAs or cellular phones. We concentrate on end-game browsing, where the user is close to or on the target page. We make browsing more efficient and easier by Accordion Summarization. In this technique the Web page is first represented as a short summary. The user can then drill down to discover relevant parts of the page. If desired, keywords can be highlighted and exposed automatically. We discuss our techniques, architecture, interface facilities, and the result of user evaluations. We measured a 57% improvement in browsing speed and 75% reduction in input effort.

Efficient web browsing on handheld devices using page and form summarization
We present a design and implementation for displaying and manipulating HTML pages on small handheld devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), or cellular phones. We introduce methods for summarizing parts of Web pages and HTML forms. Each Web ...
Loosely-coupled approach towards multi-modal browsing
Contemplating the concept of universal-access multi-modal browsing comes as one of the emerging "killer" technologies that promises broader and more flexible access to information, faster task completion, and advanced user experience. Inheriting the ...
