Abstract:
1. A wireless communication system, comprising a remote server including a predetermined mark-up language file; a proxy server configured to communicate with said remote server, wherein said proxy server is programmed to receive a request to retrieve said predetermined mark-up language file, wherein said request is transmittable from a wireless communication device, wherein said request received from said wireless communication device is generated in response to selection of a menu item from among a plurality of menu items displayable with said wireless communication device, wherein said request comprises an identifier that identifies a location for said selected menu item within a hierarchy for said plurality of menu items, and wherein said request is to retrieve said predetermined mark-up language file, said request being in a first format that is converted into a second format by said proxy server, said second format being used to retrieve said predetermined mark-up language file from said remote server, wherein said proxy server is configured to divide said predetermined mark-up language file into a plurality of viewable segments, said plurality of viewable segments being a predetermined number of viewable segments, including a first viewable segment, a second viewable segment and a third viewable segment, said first viewable segment and said second viewable segment each being sized less than a display buffer and sized to fit within a viewable area of a display screen of said wireless communication device so that a whole of any one of said viewable segments and a first navigation aid are viewable at the same time in said viewable area of said display screen, wherein said proxy server is further configured to generate said first navigation aid, a second navigation aid and a third navigation aid, wherein said proxy server is further configured to transmit said first viewable segment and said navigation aid in response to said request, said navigation aid being selectable with said wireless communication device to request said second viewable segment, said navigation aid being configured to graphically indicate whether other viewable segments adjacent to said first viewable segment in the mark-up language file are above, below, right, or left of said first viewable segment, wherein said proxy server is further configured to transmit said second navigation aid and said third navigation aid with said second viewable segment in response to receipt from said wireless communication device of a selection of said first navigation aid, said second navigation aid being selectable with said wireless communication device to request said first viewable segment and said third navigation aid being selectable with said wireless communication device to request said third viewable segment, wherein said proxy server is further configured to transmit said first viewable segment in response to receipt from said wireless communication device of selection of said second navigation aid, and wherein said proxy server is further configured to transmit said third viewable segment in response to receipt from said wireless communication device of selection of said third navigation aid.
