“…In terms of general adaptation of websites for mobile devices, one approach is web page segmentation [11,10], using a proxy server to re-render the page into new logical units which are subsequently served to the device. A proprietary solution is the Read4Me browser [26] where the browser offers to optimise the page for mobile display via a proxy-server that then serves it to the user.…”

Abstract. Our work examines the impact of natural movements on usability and efficiency of one-handed website operation on touchscreen smartphones. We present and evaluate a JavaScript framework which transforms the controls of all page elements into an interface that corresponds to the natural arcing swipe of the thumb. This can be operated via swipe and tap, without having to stretch the thumb or change the grip on the phone. The interface can be toggled on or off as required and keeps the original presentation of the website intact. Two user studies show that this choice of interface and its simplified interaction model can be applied to a diverse range of interactive elements and websites and provides a high degree of usability and efficiency.

Abstract:Operating a website with one hand on a touchscreen mobile phone remains a challenging task: solutions to adapt websites for mobile users do not address the ergonomic peculiarities of one-handed operation. We present the design and evaluation of the One Hand Wonder (OHW) -an easily-adaptable cross-platform JavaScript framework to support one-handed website navigation on touchscreen smartphones. It enhances usability without the need to redesign the existing website or to overwrite any CSS styles. User testing and quantitative evaluation confirm learnability and efficiency with clear advantages over non-enhanced browsing, and a discussion of the OHW's versatility is given.

“…The tag-based method predefines content tags that contain useful information and finds content blocks by measuring the distance between these tags [13], [15], [16], [17]. In particular, Lin assumed that the <TABLE> tag is widely used to make the structure of a Web page, and proposed a method primarily using the <TABLE> tag to extract blocks from a Web page [18].…”

Information Extraction has become an important task for discovering useful knowledge or information from the Web. A crawler system, which gathers the information from the Web, is one of the fundamental necessities of Information Extraction. A search engine uses a crawler to crawl and index web pages. Search engine takes into account only the informative content for indexing. In addition to informative content, web pages commonly have blocks that are not the main content blocks and are called the non-informative blocks or noise. Noise is generally illogical with the main content of the page and affects two major parameters of search engines: the precision of search and the size of index In order to improve the performance of information retrieval, cleaning of Web pages becomes critical. The main objective of proposed technique is to eliminate the non-informative content blocks from a Web Page. In the proposed technique, the extraction of informative content blocks and elimination of non informative blocks is based on the idea of Web page Segmentation. Here, a web page is divided into n blocks and the block importance is calculated for each block. The blocks with importance >=threshold are considered as important blocks and the remaining blocks are eliminated as noisy blocks. The proposed approach saves significant space and time
