Method and device for automatically selecting a frame for display
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- automatically selecting a frame in an application or program that has multiple frames, including a web page, to be displayed as an active frame on a display of a terminal device capable of displaying one or more frames or a portion of a frame by;
determining for each frame a total data content and a displayed data content,calculating for said each frame a ratio of said determined total data content and said determined displayed data content,selecting the frame with the largest ratio for display as said active frame,said determining, calculating, and selecting carried out by an evaluation component of said terminal device connected to a data interface, to a central processing unit, to said display, and to a user interface of said display, wherein said data interface is configured to receive data representing data frames, and said central processing unit is configured to provide said display with data that can be displayed as frames, anddisplaying the selected frame as the active frame on the display.

Abstract
The present invention relates to the display of multi-frame-based information on devices such as mobile terminal devices, wherein a possible definition of “a frame” is a display area of an application that is scrollable, if the whole content can not be displayed at once. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device to select one or more frames of a plurality of received or retrieved frames to be displayed as an active frame. The method comprises determining for each frame the total data content and the displayed data content, calculating for each of said frames a ratio of said determined data content and said determined displayed data content, and selecting the frame with the largest ratio for display as an active frame.
