Web Browsing on Small-Screen Devices: A Multiclient Collaborative Approach

Zhigang Hua, Hanqing Lu

Abstract: A new multiclient collaborative system helps improve Web browsing on small-screen devices. Its two-level browsing scheme can comprehensively enhance mobile users' Web experiences. We propose a multiclient collaborative system that extends one device's display by uniting multiple displays on different clients. As our user study demonstrates, our system can overcome various small-screen Web browsing difficulties by offering a two-level browsing scheme-one for within-page browsing and the other for between-page comparative browsing.
