Patent ID: 7747782

Claim:
A method for optimizing display of information content on a client device, the method comprising: receiving at a server a request from the client device for information content; receiving at the server the information content in a first data format from an information source; determining an efficiency with which the client device can process the information content when the information content is stored in the first data format versus when the information content is stored in a second data format, wherein the first data format does not involve the server applying cascading style sheet pre-processing to the information content, and the second data format involves the server applying cascading style sheet pre-processing to the information content; determining transmission capabilities of a wireless communication link used to send the information content to the client device; based on the efficiency with which the client device can process the information content in the first and second data formats, and the transmission capabilities of the wireless communication link, determining whether to transform the information content at the server from the first data format to the second data format before sending the information content to the client device via the wireless communication link; sending the information content to the client device in the first data format or the second data format; determining that the wireless communication link has changed and a second wireless communication link is being used to send the information content to the client device; and using a pre-set transformation mode associated with the second wireless communication link to determine whether to transform the information content at the server from the first data format to the second data format before sending the information content to the client device via the second wireless communication link.
