DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0012] Before discussing the architectural implementation of the preferred embodiment, reference will be made to Figures 1 and 2, showing an exemplary mobile browser user interface for displaying a document identified by a URL in a web page.
[0013] In Figure 1A, a URL for a document (Executive Resume) is shown within a web page (i.e. Google Search). An indication is provided (i.e. DOC) that the documented is a supported MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) type (i.e. MS Word ).
In response to user selection of the URL, a pop-up menu appears with a "Get Link" command that, when selected, causes a browser plug-in application to display the downloaded document, as shown in Figure 2.
In response to user selection of the URL, a pop-up menu appears with a "Get Link" command that, when selected, causes a browser plug-in application to display the downloaded document, as shown in Figure 2.
[0014] A preferred embodiment of the method and apparatus for viewing the documents displayed via the user interface of Figures 1 and 2, is set forth in Figure 3.
The mobile device 3 incorporates a web browser and an Attachment Viewer (referred to herein.as "DocView") plug-in for the browser to permit viewing supported document MIME types when a valid URL
from a web page points to a document, as discussed above in connection with Figure 1A.
The mobile device 3 incorporates a web browser and an Attachment Viewer (referred to herein.as "DocView") plug-in for the browser to permit viewing supported document MIME types when a valid URL
from a web page points to a document, as discussed above in connection with Figure 1A.
[0015] During start-up (step Al in Figure 4A), the Attachment Viewer browser plug-in ("DocView") registers itself (step A2) for a predetermined data stream content type, such as Universal Content Stream (UCS). According to the preferred embodiment, the browser plug-in registers an "application/vnd.company.ucs" content type with the browser, such that the browser adds "application/vnd.company.ucs" to the "Accept" header when requesting HTTP
URLs.
URLs.
[0016] Mobile Data Service (MDS) 5 forms a secure communication conduit between the mobile device 3 and servers, such as Web Servers 9A, 9B, etc., and Attachment Server 7.
The MDS 5 functions as an HTTP and TCP/IP proxy with special features. MDS 5 incorporates a UCS transcoder that registers itself at start-up (step B1 in Figure 4B) for all MIME content types (step B2 in Figure 4B) supported by the Attachment Server 7 (e.g.
"application/ms-word", "applications/ms-excel", etc). The Attachment Server 7 performs document conversion of attachments to a form suitable for transmission to the device 3 and display thereby. For example, if the attachment is a MS Word document, the Attachment Server 7 performs a binary conversion of the document into UCS format, suitable for wireless delivery. The UCS format supports text, image, vector and hybrid content. Text content retains some of its original formatting, such as bold, italic and underlining, but the UCS rich text file is much smaller than the original document (e.g. 10% of the original document size).

Text content retains some of its original formatting, such as bold, italic and underlining, but the UCS rich text file is much smaller than the original document (e.g. 10% of the original document size).
[0017] The following content types are registered by the MDS transcoder:
Content Type Application Application/msword Microsoft Word A lication/vnd.ms-excel Microsoft Excel A lication/vnd.ms- ower oint Microsoft PowerPoint A lication/ df Adobe PDF
A lication/word erfect5.1 Corel Word Perfect 5.1 Application/vnd.wordperfect erfect Corel Word Perfect

A lication/word erfect5.1 Corel Word Perfect 5.1 Application/vnd.wordperfect erfect Corel Word Perfect
[0018] When a user selects "Get Link" (Figure 1 B and step A4 in Figure 4A) for a URL
that points to a supported content type (Figure 1A and step A3 in Figure 4A), an HTTP
request is sent (step A5 in Figure 4A) to the MDS 5 with "application/vnd.company.ucs"
added to the "Accept" header. Upon receipt of the HTTP request from the Browser (step B3 in Figure 4B), the MDS 5 sends the HTTP request (step B4 in Figure 4B) to the destination web server (e.g. Web Servers 9A, 9B, etc.) along with the document types that can be converted (e.g. "application/pdf') from native form to UCS data by the Attachment Server 7.
The MDS 5 sends all acceptable content types to the destination server, because the UCS
transcoder has registered a list of acceptable contents that can be transcoded into UCS, and the device 3 accepts UCS data.
that points to a supported content type (Figure 1A and step A3 in Figure 4A), an HTTP
request is sent (step A5 in Figure 4A) to the MDS 5 with "application/vnd.company.ucs"

Upon receipt of the HTTP request from the Browser (step B3 in Figure 4B), the MDS 5 sends the HTTP request (step B4 in Figure 4B) to the destination web server (e.g. Web Servers 9A, 9B, etc.) along with the document types that can be converted (e.g. "application/pdf') from native form to UCS data by the Attachment Server 7.
The MDS 5 sends all acceptable content types to the destination server, because the UCS
transcoder has registered a list of acceptable contents that can be transcoded into UCS, and the device 3 accepts UCS data.
[0019] Upon retrieving the page content from the Web Server (step B5 in Figure 4B), MDS 5 transmits the data via the "appiication/vnd.company.ucs" transcoder to the Attachment Server 7 for conversion (step B6 in Figure 4B). Upon successful binary conversion of the document to a UCS data stream, the Attachment Server 7 transmits the UCS data back to MDS 5 transcoder (step B7 in Figure 4B), which then sends it to device browser 3 via HTTP response (step B8 in Figure 4B), and the transcoder process ends (step B9 in Figure 4B).
[0020] The MDS 5 pushes UCS data for the document back to the device 3 in the HTTP
response (to a limit of 250 KB in the preferred embodiment, which is the default MDS
setting). Upon receipt of the "application/vnd.company.ucs" content type stream (for which it registered at start up), the browser invokes the "DocView" plug-in to display the UCS data, as shown in Figure 2. More particularly, the browser requests the DocView plug-in for a "BrowserContent" object. Once the browser receives the object it calls a finishLoading method. The Browser Plug-in invokes the Attachment Viewer passing the HTTP
Input Stream as an input parameter. Then, the Attachment Viewer parses the UCS data in 3K
chunks and reads more data from the HTTP Input Stream as and when required.

[0021] To avoid having the user wait until all the UCS data has been downloaded into the browser cache the plug-in invokes the browserAttachment Viewer as soon as 3Kb of UCS data is available (step A6 in Figure 4A) for parsing and display of the UCS content.
Then, the Attachment Viewer parses and displays the UCS data in 3 Kb increments (step A7 in Figure 4A), thereby simulating the well known attachment viewing experience when viewing an attachment via email on a mobile device, using the "More" feature.
Browser process then ends (step A8 in Figure 4A)

[0022] To preserve storage within device 3, the Attachment Viewer does not persist (i.e.
save) the converted file when a conversion is requested through the plug-in.
Closing the Attachment Viewer returns the user back to the previous web page from which the Get Link request was originally invoked.

Closing the Attachment Viewer returns the user back to the previous web page from which the Get Link request was originally invoked.
[0023] As discussed above, in order to communicate with the Attachment Server 7 upon receiving requests from the browser plug-in, MDS 5 uses a dedicated transcoder that handles all request and response communication with the Attachment Server 7.
Supported content types for the Attachment Server 7 are registered by the transcoder (e.g.
application/pdf->application/vnd.company.ucs).
