A source document (40), such as an internet web page, including link data (24), such as hypertext links, is retrieved and has its graphical data content removed. The link data items are associated with category data (38) which is then used to select output graphical data items (46) to be associated with those link data items. The output document (48) excluding the original graphical content but including at least identifiers for new graphical content associated with the link data items is output as an output document. The above processing may be performed by a proxy server (10) disposed between a source computer (4) for the source document and a client device (8) requesting that document, such as a client in the form of a mobile telephone or personal digital assistant.
A method of modifying a source document to form an output document for display on a display device, said method comprising the steps of:
A method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein said category data is associated with a category data entry within an output graphical data item database that includes data identifying a matching output graphical data item.
A method as claimed in claim any one of the preceding claims, wherein said output graphical data item is an output graphical icon.
A method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein said data identifying said output graphical data item is added as a metatag.
A method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein said data identifying said output graphical data item is data identifying a built in icon of said display device.
A method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, where said source document is an internet web page.
A method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein said source document is a html data file.
A method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein all source graphical data items have been removed from said output document.
A method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein said source graphical data items include one or more of:
A method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein said source document is retrieved from a source computer server via a computer network.
A method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein said display device has different display capabilities than those of a display for which said source document is primarily intended or said document is display independent.
A method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein said display device is part of a wireless mobile device.
Apparatus for modifying a source document to form an output document for display on a display device, said apparatus comprising processing logic performing the steps of:
