Abstract

A method for processing information received by a wireless device over a computer network, including receiving information from at least one source of information over a computer network, parsing at least some of the information, and employing at least some results of the parsing to provide the information in a form suitable for display to a user on the wireless device.

Claims

1. A method for processing information received by a wireless device over a computer network, comprising:

receiving information from at least one source of information over a computer network;

parsing at least some of said information; and

automatically employing at least some results of said parsing for classifying said information according to its importance to a user in accordance with user selected importance criteria and providing said information in its entirety in a form suitable for display to a user on said wireless device thereby changing the layout of said information without changing its content;

and wherein said display of said information is at least partially in accordance with results of said classifying of said information.

2. A method for processing information received by a wireless device according to claim 1 and wherein said wireless device is a wire-less telephone and wherein at least some results of said parsing are employed to provide said information in a form suitable for display to a user on said telephone.

4. A method for processing information according to claim 1 and wherein at least said parsing takes place at a server interconnecting said source of said information with said wireless device.

5. A method for processing information according to claim 1 and wherein at least said parsing takes place at said wireless device.

6. A method for processing information according to claim 2 and wherein at least said parsing takes place at said source of said information.

7. A method for processing information according to claim 2 and wherein at least said parsing takes place at a server interconnecting said source of said information with said wireless device.

8. A method for processing information according to claim 2 and wherein at least said parsing takes place at said wireless device.

3. A method for processing information received by a wireless device according to claim I and wherein said wireless device is a wireless personal digital assistant and wherein at least some results of said parsing are employed to provide said information in a form suitable for display to a user on said personal digital assistant.

9. A method for processing information according to claim 3 and wherein at least said parsing takes place at said source of said information.

10. A method for processing information according to claim 3 and wherein at least said parsing takes place at a server interconnecting said source of said information with said wireless device.

11. A method for processing information according to claim 3 and wherein at least said parsing takes place at said wireless device.

12. A method for processing information according to claim 11 and wherein at least said parsing takes place at a server interconnecting said source of said information with said wireless device.

13. A system for processing information received by a wireless device over a computer network, comprising:

a parser, receiving information from at least one source of information over a computer network and parsing at least some of said information; and

a display engine, automatically employing at least some results of said parsing for classifying said information according to its importance to a user in accordance with user selected importance criteria and providing said information in its entirety in a form suitable for display to a user on said wireless device thereby changing the layout of said information without changing its content;

and wherein said display of said information is at least partially in accordance with results of said classifying of said information.

14. A system for processing information received by a wireless device according to claim 13, wherein said wireless device is a wireless telephone and wherein at least some results of said parsing are employed to provide said information in a form suitable for display to a user on said telephone.

15. A system processing information received by a wireless device according to claim 13, and wherein said wireless device is a wireless personal digital assistant and wherein at least some results of said parsing are employed to provide said information in a form suitable for display to a user on said personal digital assistant.

16. A system for processing information received by a wireless device according to claim 13, and wherein said wireless device is a wireless telephone and personal digital assistant and wherein at least sonic results of said parsing are employed to provide said information in a form suitable for display to a user on said telephone and personal digital assistant.

17. A system for processing information according to claim 13 and wherein at least said parsing takes place at a server interconnecting said source of said information with said wireless device.

18. A system for processing information according to claim 13 and wherein at least said parsing takes place at said wireless device.
