1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- receiving source code of an original web page in response to a request for the original web page;
parsing the source code of the original web page to identify components of the original web page, yielding identified components;
rendering the original web page and scanning the rendered original web page to determine display coordinates of the identified components;
annotating the source code of the original web page by associating the display coordinates with the respective identified components, thereby generating an enhanced document object model (DOM) tree for the original web page;
automatically selecting, by the computer, using a predefined rule set, at least one identified component of the original web page to be excluded from the enhanced DOM tree for the original web page, wherein the at least one excluded web page component is not replaced, thereby generating a mobile device specific enhanced DOM tree for the original web page; and
storing the mobile device specific enhanced DOM tree on a physical storage medium.

Abstract
A method for facilitating the rendering of a web page on a mobile device includes providing an enhanced DOM tree for the web page that includes web page components and their display coordinates. A rule set is applied to the DOM tree, thereby selecting components for display on the mobile device. A mobile-device-specific version of the source code is generated based on the selected components.

15. A system for facilitating the display of a mobile device specific version of an original web page on a mobile device, the system comprising:
-
a web page parser application configured to generate an enhanced document object model (DOM) tree for the original web page from the source code of the original web page, the enhanced DOM tree comprising (i) web page components identified by parsing source code of the web original page and (ii) display coordinates of said components, the web page parser application further configured to annotate the source code of the original web page by associating the display coordinates with the respective identified components in the enhanced DOM tree; a component selection module configured to;
(x) apply a predefined rule set to the enhanced DOM tree, the predefined rule set defining which components are to be selected for inclusion when rendering the web page on the mobile device, wherein the selecting excludes at least one identified component from the selected components and (y) generate a mobile-device-specific version of the source code based on the selected components; anda physical storage device for storing the mobile-device-specific version of the source code for subsequent transmission a mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 24)

17. An article of manufacture having computer-readable program portions embodied thereon for creating a mobile-device-specific version of an original web page, the article comprising computer-readable instructions for:
-
generating an enhanced document object model (DOM) tree for the original web page, the enhanced (DOM) tree being generated from the source code of the original web page, the enhanced DOM tree comprising;
(i) web page components identified by parsing source code of the original web page, and (ii) display coordinates of said components, annotating the source code of the original web page by associating the display coordinates with the respective identified components in the enhanced DOM tree;applying a predefined rule set to the enhanced DOM tree, the predefined rule set defining which components are to be selected for inclusion when rendering the web page on the mobile device, wherein the selection excludes at least one identified component from the selected components; and generating a mobile-device-specific version of the source code based on the selected components. - View Dependent Claims (18)
