Definitions

  • the present invention relates to telecommunication.
  • the invention relates to an ad- vanced method for the browsing of hypertext pages using a mobile station.
  • WWW pages can be browsed and various services associated with them can be used e.g. by means of a GSM telephone .
  • the problem so f r has been that in most cases WWW pages have been designed to be used via a graphic user interface and using e.g. a mouse, whereas a typical mobile station has a very limited text-based display with a keypad user interface. Therefore, displaying e.g. hyperlinks and following them is very diffi- cult.
  • the object of the present invention is to disclose a new type of method to eliminate the drawbacks described above .
  • a specific object of the present invention is to disclose a method and system which make it possible to browse WWW pages and move from page to page by following hyperlinks using an ordinary mobile station.
  • conversion means such as a proxy-type server, and which telecommunication system comprises a mobile station that preferably supports the Smart Messaging definition, and/or which mobile station preferably comprises soft keys
  • the hypertext page corresponding to the selection is fetched from the telecommunication network.
  • the conversion means the page is converted into a form that allows it to be presented on the display of the mobile station.
  • the converted page is transmitted to the mobile station and presented on the display of the mobile station.
  • hyperlinks present in the retrieved hypertext page are identified using the conversion means.
  • information regarding the retrieved hypertext pages and the hyperlinks contained in them is saved.
  • the information to be saved comprises e.g. the URL-format addresses of the pages/links (Uniform Resource Locator, URL) .
  • URL Uniform Resource Locator
  • the links contained in the page to be transmitted to the mobile station are sent as a form comprising descriptions of the links e.g. in a menu format as well as link- specific identification data, such as e.g. a code by which the conversion means can find the link corresponding to the description and its URL address in the information saved.
  • the rest of the contents of the hy- pertext page except the links is transmitted to the mobile station in the form of a SMS, USSD or corresponding message (Short -Message Service Centre, SMS; Unstructured Supplementary Service Data, USSD) . If the contents exceed the maximum message length, the text will be divided into parts and sent in several messages .
  • a hypertext page is selected for presentation by sending from the mobile station to the conversion means a form compris- ing identification data, such as e.g. the URL- format address of the page, identifying the selected hypertext page.
  • identification data such as e.g. the URL- format address of the page
  • the link is selected in a menu, whereupon a form comprising user-specific identification information as to which page is wanted and which link is to be followed is sent to the conversion means .
  • hyperlinks are displayed and/or selected using soft keys.
  • Soft keys are general -purpose keys used in certain mobile station models for purposes varying according to the situation. For instance, a menu containing hyperlinks can be displayed by pressing a predetermined soft key, and a link in the menu can be selected with a soft key.
  • the form is a TTML form, a WML form or equivalent (Tagged Text Markup Language, TTML; Wireless Markup Language, WML) .
  • the hypertext page to be retrieved from the telecommunication network is a WWW page.
  • the mobile station is based on digital mobile communication tech- nology, such as the GSM, DCS1800 or equivalent technology.
  • the invention provides the advantage that it makes it possible to browse WWW pages and follow hyperlinks on the limited display of an ordinary mobile station.
  • the user is not required to know the exact location of the data for each link, such as the URL address, but the user can find the desired information by "surfing".
  • the invention is espe- cially well suited for use in mobile stations supporting the Smart Messaging definition. No accessories such as joystick or trackball type devices need to be added to mobile stations to make it easier to follow the links, but links can be easily and flexibly followed using existing mobile stations with only a keypad user interface .
  • FIG. 1 presents an embodiment of the method of the invention in the form of a flow diagram
  • Fig. 2 presents an embodiment of the system of the invention in the form of a flow diagram.
  • Fig. 1 presents a flow diagram representing an embodiment of the procedure of the invention as an example.
  • the user's GSM telephone contains a certain type of TTML form with an input field, in which the user enters the URL address of the desired WWW page.
  • the form is sent to a server, which gets the required WWW page from the Internet.
  • the server identifies the hyperlinks on the page and saves appropriate page information, such as the URL addresses and the links in the page.
  • the server converts the page into a form allowing it to be presented on the display of a GSM tele- phone. At this stage, e.g. graphics included in the page are removed as they cannot be reproduced on a telephone display.
  • the contents of the page excluding the links are sent to the user in the form of a normal short message. If the text of the page exceeds the maximum length of a short message, then it is divided into parts and sent in several short messages. The user reads the text. After that, a TTML form containing the links for the page just read/browsed by the user is sent to the GSM telephone.
  • This form contains a menu with descriptions of the links.
  • the form does not contain the URL addresses of the links but only codes that the server can use to find the appropriate link and its URL address in the information it has saved.
  • the user can follow a desired link by selecting the link in the menu and sending the form back to the server.
  • the form sent back contains user-specific identification data indicating the WWW page concerned and the link to be followed.
  • Fig. 2 presents a flow diagram representing an embodiment of the system of the invention as an example.
  • a GSM telephone 1 Using a GSM telephone 1, a desired WWW page is se- lected. The selection is transmitted to a proxy-type server 2, which gets the page from the Internet 3 and delivers it in a converted form to the GSM telephone.
  • the server and the Internet communicate using the HTTP protocol (HyperText Transfer Protocol, HTTP) .
  • the server and the GSM telephone communicate using SMS messages and TTML forms .
