Abstract
Disclosed is a system for converting digital contents having a tree structure (e.g. web contents) and described in HTML or other markup languages into a format (e.g. WML) suitable for transmission to a portable terminal which has a limited memory capacity. In the digital content, annotation information is appended to each node of the content. The content is divided into “cards”, which are units for displaying the content on the terminal device, based on this annotation information. The system receives a user request and acquires information regarding a memory capacity of a receiving buffer in the terminal device. The system generate a “deck”, which is a unit for transmitting the content to the terminal device at a time, by collecting cards based on a predetermined rule so that a data size is within the memory capacity of the receiving buffer in the terminal device.
