Patent ID: 8122344

Claim:
A method of converting a modular document into a converted file format by a conversion server for display on a wireless communication device, the modular document comprising a plurality of modules, wherein a portion of the plurality of modules contain text and a portion of the plurality of modules contain format, and wherein at least one format module is inter-related with at least one text module, the method comprising: receiving at the conversion server a part of a modular document requested for display on the wireless communication device, but less than a whole of a modular document; analyzing the received part of the modular document to locate a set of modules for conversion, the set of modules comprising at least one text module and a format module inter-related with said text module; upon locating the set of modules, retrieving text from the at least one text module; determining changes to the retrieved text according to the format module; applying the determined changes to the retrieved text and converting said retrieved text into converted file format comprising a linear sequence, wherein said determined changes are employed during conversion of said retrieved text as a result of an exchange of information between the inter-related modules during conversion; and transmitting said converted file format over a network to said wireless communication device, whereby the changed text may be displayed on the wireless communication device without waiting for other parts of the modular document to be converted.
