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 over a computer network comprising:

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

filtering said HTML information to remove some, but not all, of said HTML information and to provide filtered HTML information; and

performing automatic directory generation on said filtered HTML information in order to provide a user sensible directory of said filtered HTML information.

2. A method for processing information according to claim 1 and wherein said user sensible directory is an outline.

3. A method for processing information according to claim 1 and wherein said user sensible directory is a table of contents.

4. A method for processing information according to claim 1 and wherein said user sensible directory is an index.

17. A method for processing information according to claim 1 and wherein said filtering comprises automatically identifying data objects in said HTML information to be removed.

18. A method for processing information according to claim 1 and wherein said filtered HTML information comprises information relating to structure and information types of said HTML information.

5. A system for processing information received over a computer network comprising:

an HTML information receiver, receiving HTML information from at least one source of HTML information over a computer network;

an HTML information filterer, filtering said HTML information to remove some, but not all, of said HTML information and to provide filtered HTML information; and

a directory generator, performing automatic directory generation on said filtered HTML information to provide a user sensible directory of said filtered HTML information.

6. A system for processing information according to claim 5 and wherein said user sensible directory is an outline.

7. A system for processing information according to claim 5 and wherein said user sensible directory is a table of contents.

8. A system for processing information according to claim 5 and wherein said user sensible directory is an index.

19. A system for processing information according to claim 5 and wherein said HTML information filterer automatically identifies data objects in said HTML information to be removed.

20. A system for processing information according to claim 5 and wherein said filtered HTML information comprises information relating to structure and information types of said HTML information.

9. A method for processing information received over a computer network comprising:

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

filtering said Java script information to remove some, but not all, of said Java script information and to provide filtered Java script information; and

performing automatic directory generation on said filtered Java script information in order to provide a user sensible directory of said filtered Java script information.

10. A method for processing information according to claim 9 and wherein said user sensible directory is an outline.

11. A method for processing information according to claim 9 and wherein said user sensible directory is a table of contents.

12. A method for processing information according to claim 9 and wherein said user sensible directory is an index.

21. A method for processing information according to claim 9 and wherein said filtering comprises automatically identifying data objects in said Java script information to be removed.

22. A method for processing information according to claim 9 and wherein said filtered Java script information comprises information relating to structure and information types of said Java script information.

13. A system for processing information received over a computer network comprising:

a Java script information receiver, receiving Java script information from at least one source of Java script information over a computer network;

a Java script information filterer, filtering said Java script information to remove some, but not all, of said Java script information and providing filtered Java script information; and

a directory generator, performing automatic directory generation on said filtered Java script information to provide a user sensible directory of said filtered Java script information.

14. A system for processing information according to claim 13 and wherein said user sensible directory is an outline.

15. A system for processing information according to claim 13 and wherein said user sensible directory is a table of contents.

16. A system for processing information according to claim 13 and wherein said user sensible directory is an index.

23. A system for processing information according to claim 13 and wherein said Java script information filterer automatically identifies data objects in said Java script information to be removed.

24. A system for processing information according to claim 13 and wherein said filtered Java script information comprises information relating to structure and information types of said Java script information.
