Abstract

A system includes a mobile device and an optimization server. The mobile device is capable of transmitting request data that includes a requested webpage and identification data. The optimization server is configured to receive response data that corresponds to the request data from a content server, to adapt the response data based on the identification data, and to transmit the adapted response data to the mobile device.

discard, from the subset of style properties that are defined as being essential style data, layout-specific style data extracted from the data structure;

compare a parent node'"'"'s essential style data with essential style data of its one or more child nodes;

wrap any of the one or more nodes that share the same essential style data into an enclosure tag based on the comparison; and

reconstruct an adapted webpage to be sent to the mobile device, wherein the reconstructing is based on the essential style data provided by the enclosure tag.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the adaptation of the response data includes the optimization e r being further configured to set a current style value to be the parent node'"'"'s essential style data.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the adaptation of the response data includes the optimization server being further configured to traverse one or more other child nodes of the parent node, and wherein the comparison includes a comparison of the current style value to the essential style values of a current child node of the one or more child nodes.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the wrapping includes, if the current style and the style data of the current child node are not the same, a wrapping of the any previous nodes into an enclosure tag, a resetting of the current style as the style data of the current child node, and an associating of the current child node with another enclosure tag.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the wrapping includes, if the current style value and the style data of the current child node are not the same, an applying of the current style value to any previous nodes, a re-setting of the current style as the style data of the current child node, and an associating of the current child node with another enclosure tag.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein each style property in the subset of style properties is style sheet property that is applied to an HTML tag.

7. A method comprising:

extracting style data from a data structure, representing a webpage, wherein the style data corresponds to the style of content on the webpage, wherein the extracted style data includes a subset of style properties that are defined as being essential style data;

discarding, from the subset of style properties that e defined as being essential style data, layout-specific style data extracted from the data structure;

comparing a parent node'"'"'s essential style data with essential style data of its one or more child nodes;

wrapping any of the one or more nodes that share the same essential style data into an enclosure tag based on the comparison; and

reconstructing an adapted webpage to be sent to a mobile device, wherein the reconstructing is based on the essential style data provided by the enclosure tag.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising establishing a current style value by setting the current style value to be the essential style data of the parent node.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising traversing the parent node'"'"'s one or more child nodes, and wherein the comparing includes comparing the current style value to the essential style values of a current child node of the one or more child nodes.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the wrapping includes, if the current style and the style data of the current child node are not the same, wrapping the any previous nodes into an enclosure tag, re-setting the current style as the style data of the current child node, and associating the current child node with another enclosure tag.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the wrapping includes, if the current style value and the style data of the current child node are not the same, applying the current style value to any previous nodes, re-setting the current style as the style data of the current child node, and associating the current child node with another enclosure tag.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that are executable by one or more processors associated with an optimization server to cause the optimization server-for adapting a webpage for a mobile device, the method comprising:

extracting style data from a data structure, representing the webpage, wherein the style data corresponds to the style of content on the webpage, wherein the extracted style data includes a subset of style properties that are defined as being essential style data;

discarding, from the subset of style properties that are defined as being essential style data, layout-specific style data extracted from the data structure;

comparing a parent node'"'"'s essential style data with the essential style data of its one or more child nodes;

wrapping any of the one or more nodes that share the same essential style data into an enclosure tag based on the comparison; and

reconstructing an adapted webpage to be sent to the mobile device, wherein the reconstructing is based on the essential style data provided by the enclosure tag.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12, wherein the instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the optimization server to further perform:

setting a current style value to be the parent node'"'"'s essential style data.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the optimization server to further perform:

traversing the parent node'"'"'s one or more child nodes, and wherein the comparing includes comparing the current style value to the essential style values of a current child node of the one or more child nodes.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the wrapping includes, if the current style and the style data of the current child node are not the same, wrapping the any previous nodes into an enclosure tag, re-setting the current style as the style data of the current child node, and associating the current child node with another enclosure tag.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14, wherein the wrapping includes, if the current style value and the style data of the current child node are not the same, applying the current style value to any previous nodes, re-setting the current style as the style data of the current child node, and associating the current child node with another enclosure tag.

17. A server having one or more processors and comprising:

a response monitor configured to receive response data from a content server, wherein the response data includes a webpage; and

an adaptor configured to adapt the response data based on the properties of a mobile device that made a request for the webpage, wherein adaptation of the response data includes the adaptor being further configured to;

extract style data from a data structure, representing the webpage, wherein the style data corresponds to the style of content on the webpage, wherein the extracted style data includes a subset of style properties that are defined as being essential style data;

discard, from the subset of style properties that are defined as being essential style data, layout-specific style data extracted from the data structure;
