Abstract

The advancement of ubiquitous networks facilitates and increases access to the Internet via mobile devices, which offers the advantages of enhanced mobility and accessibility. While Mobile Internet is largely free of temporal and spatial restrictions, producing content for mobile websites is a challenging work due to the existence of multiple device types and markup languages. This paper proposes a technique that makes use of image maps to improve the visual consistency of mobile web content displayed on a variety of mobile devices. The proposed image map method captures several objects comprising the webpage into a single image, and provides the image in Mobile Web services. Mobile devices employing the proposed method can reorganize webpages with multiple objects more easily and obtain the visually identical content on their screen.

유비쿼터스 네트워크 기술이 발전하면서 모바일 단말기를 이용한 인터넷 사용은 휴대성과 편의성뿐만 아니라 시간과 장소에 구애 받지 않기 때문에 점점 증가하고 있다. 그러나 모바일 단말기의 다양한 기종과 많은 마크업 언어의 종류 등의 원인으로 모바일 컨텐츠 제작은 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 논문에서는 편집한 모바일 웹 페이지를 모바일 단말기에서 서비스할때 편집한 화면과 동일한 형태로 서비스하기 위하여 이미지 맵 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 이미지 맵 방법을 이용한 모바일 웹 서비스 방법은 웹 페이지를 구성하고 있는 여러 개의 객체들을 하나의 이미지로 캡쳐해서 서비스하는 방법이다. 제안된 방법을 이용한 모바일 단말기는 몇 개의 객체들로 페이지를 재구성 할 때 표현이 더 쉽고 편집과 동일한 단말기 서비스 화면을 얻을 수 있었다.
