System for providing network content to wireless devices

A method for providing network events and content to a mobile device, the method comprising:

• having a content engine receive a card from a user of mobile device specifying a network site;
• retrieving instructions for the specified network site from a database management system;
• accessing the network site using the retrieved instructions;
• having the content engine access a user-database to determine if user-defined parameters exist for the network site;
• having the content engine combine instructions and parameters to access the network site and retrieve network events and content;
• having the content engine convert the network event from an IP protocol to a wireless protocol;
• having the content engine paginate the network event or content for the mobile device;
• and
• transmitting the network event or content to the mobile device.

A method for paginating a network event into a wireless format for a mobile device;

• the method comprising:
• a) having a mobile device specify a memory allotment;
• b) segmenting content retrieved from an IP site segmented according to the memory allotment;
• c) locating a page break line or region on the retrieved network content corresponding to the boundary of each segment;
• d) paginating each segment on that page break line or region to ensure that the cutoff to a next segment is made at an appropriate place;
• e) signaling the segment to the mobile device;
• and
• f) determining whether a next segment is the last segment for the network content, wherein if the next segment is the last segment, then the last segment is signaled to the mobile device as the last segment, and if there is another segment, repeating steps b-e.
