Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for preparation of a digital document for the display of said document and the navigation within said document in a mobile device, said display and navigation operations being realized by a computer program, said document comprising a plurality of elements and at least one page characterized in that it comprises the following steps: upon the reception of the document: pre-interpretation of the digital document and encoding of a part at least of the elements of said digital document into objects directly exploitable by said computer program; upon reception of a display command of a page of the digital document: identification of the tasks associated with this page and creation of a reference table pointing directly to the objects describing the tasks of said page, and displaying of said page comprising a possible highlighting of objects that can be activated and/or a possible scrolling of the page, then execution of the tasks upon request of a user.

Claims

1-7. -7. (canceled)

8. Method for preparation of a digital document for the display of said document and the navigation within said document in a mobile device, said display and navigation operations being realized by a computer program, said document comprising a plurality of elements and at least one page wherein it comprises the following steps:

upon the reception of the document;

pre-interpretation of the digital document and encoding of a part at least of the elements of said digital document into objects directly exploitable by said computer program,

upon reception of a display command of a page of the digital document;

identification of the tasks associated with this page and creation of a reference table pointing directly to the objects describing the tasks of said page, and

displaying of said page comprising a possible highlighting of objects that can be activated and/or a possible scrolling of the page, then execution of the tasks upon request of a user.

9. Method for preparation of a digital document for the display of said document and the navigation within said document according to claim 8, wherein the pre-interpretation step of the digital document and encoding of at least one part of the elements of said digital document is composed of two sub-steps:

one of formatting of the display and the other of formatting of the tasks.

10. Method for preparation of a digital document for the display of said document and the navigation within said document according to claim 9, wherein the sub-step of formatting the display consists in page formatting the entire document so that each part of said document can be directly displayed without requiring formatting.

11. Method for preparation of a digital document for the display of said document and the navigation within said document according to claim 8, wherein the pre-interpretation step of the digital document and the encoding of one part at least of the elements of said digital document is executed by applying a rule according to which an object is replaced by another object occupying at most the same space in the memory.

12. Method for preparation of a digital document for the display of said document and the navigation within said document according to claim 9, wherein the pre-interpretation step of the digital document and the encoding of one part at least of the elements of said digital document is executed by applying a rule according to which an object is replaced by another object occupying at most the same space in the memory.

13. Method for preparation of a digital document for the display of said document and the navigation within said document according to claim 10, wherein the pre-interpretation step of the digital document and the encoding of one part at least of the elements of said digital document is executed by applying a rule according to which an object is replaced by another object occupying at most the same space in the memory.

14. Method for preparation of a digital document for the display of said document and the navigation within said document according to claim 8, wherein the overlapping of objects that can be displayed and objects that can not be displayed is saved without having any impact of the functions of display and task identification.

15. Method for preparation of a digital document for the display of said document and the navigation within said document according to claim 8, wherein it comprises a step of suppression of elements from said document that cannot be displayed, or be identified as tasks, and a step of resetting to zero of the corresponding memory space.

16. Method for preparation of a digital document for the display of said document and the navigation within said document according to claim 8, wherein it comprises a step of concatenation of elements framing an unused memory zone.
