Automobile:

Automobile 1995 Jiameis of Toyota, redness

Real estate:

Apartment: 20/5 Bruce street, Ai Wude

House: 1 Smith street, Ai Wude

House: 12 Bruce street, Ai Wude

These tabulations can be according to user's preference and formatted (being provided as customer parameter in portable terminal).User's preference also can comprise one or more preferred classifications, for example, guarantees that the house listed by first, if perhaps the user loses interest in to this content, gets rid of this classification, such as date bid (dating offers).

If only have a compatible apparatus to be found and only have a content item to download, this tabulation is unnecessary, and in this case, portable terminal 1810 will be asked available data automatically, and do not need to ask further user's input, just can obtain data so only click a button.Same, if user's preference is set to get rid of various Data classifications, and only there is a project of wanting to use, perhaps preference is set to always download all data availables in the particular category, this application can be downloaded the content-data of wanting automatically, and does not need further user's input.

List available content and can make the user check available content, and can from one or more content providing devices, select one or more content stream data to download.For example, the user can select single project by the project that manually is rolled in the tabulation, and presses " get " and build, and perhaps by the classification in the choice menus or device head, selects all from device or classification.In case the user uses shown tabulation 1960 to select the content of wanting, this is used to use with selected relevant device identification and content identification and generates request msg message 1972.This content stream data will be downloaded 1982 to portable terminal automatically.In case content is downloaded, portable terminal confirms that 1992 receive that data are with the communication close session.

Were it not for and receive data request information, for example the device ofmobile phone 1860 andreal estate plate 1820 is with automatic pause and close any communication session.

The content that is downloaded can be automatically displayed, be stored on the portable terminal, is forwarded on another device such as internet site or PC by the Internet, or send e-mails to another user, or above all.By delete data flow from mobile terminal memory, content also can be dropped, in case content is shown, the delete command that can provide according to user's hobby or response user can be finished afterwards automatically in demonstration.

Figure 20 is in conjunction with special-purpose unit content providing device 2020, the example of the system of outside control device 2030, outside control device 2030 prepares and download content data arrives content providing device 2020, and portable terminal 2010 has above-mentioned data acquisition and display application.By providing external device (ED) control 2030 to prepare, and the wireless downloading content-data is to content providing device 2020 independently, and this installs 2020 user interface functions that do not need to have such as hand input-data function and Presentation Function.The size of content providing device and function are minimized, thereby make a kind of simple, cheap, robustness, small and exquisite content providing device.For example, device 2020 can be a microchip with blue tooth interface, memory and disposal ability.This device can connect such as the Power supply on battery or the photronic plate.This device is registered confirms to only have the user (for example external control 2030) of a mandate can memory contents auto levelizer 2020.Yet, this device 2020 for from here the device of any compatibility of downloading contents all be open.For example, each device 2020 can provide unique identifier, when device 2020 usefulness external controls are registered, password or key externally control 2030 and content providing device 2020 between the exchange, be used to subsequently authenticate and attempt downloading data to the device of content providing device 2020, do not have authentication password, this device 2020 will stop data to download on the device 2020.

Data content, for example the ad data of real estate plate is prepared in the external device (ED) 2030, and is sent to content providing device 2020.As described above, portable terminal 2010 can obtain content from installing 2020, but can not write data on the device 2020, because do not have certified or be registered.Portable terminal 2010 also can be by wireless network and the Internet 2040 from such as e-mail server 2050, or obtains the data such as Email, webpage and note in the web server 2060.Portable terminal also can pass through the data of message or Email transmission such as the data of downloading from content providing device to other user.Comprise the link of internet web page from the content-data of content providing device download, the user use this link can be on their portable terminal browsing page, same, content also can comprise e-mail address, the user can use their portable terminal directly to send message.

The advantage of this embodiment of content providing device comprises:

Directly " A2C " (" advertisement is to consumer ") talks with and identifies the position (" focus ") in the zone that can be downloaded as advertising message.

The user initiates the request (actively advertisement) of advertising message.Concept (for example " individual to individual " or " point-to-point " dialogue) based on the P2P advertisement; And

Sending in digital form advertising message from advertiser is automatically to user's portable terminal fully, and can set up by clicking single keys presses, is simply and easily for the user.

For accept button that content clicks can be programme in advance or the acquiescence button, for example " # " is used for request msg and downloads or accept to download to provide.Can be used as selection, accept button and click and can provide middle setting, for example in situation about being provided more than an information the download option, button is clicked can be used for determining which information of request.For example, the house deal advertisement of a content providing device only can have to download relevant with property to be assessed and the option of the basic details of the quantity in bedroom such as real estate agents, address, Price Range, or downloads whole detailed features and comprise the image of property.In the case, this provides for example can specify: "press 1 key and download basic details, press all details and image that 2 keys are downloaded property ".Button is clicked and also can be used for refusing to provide.Can be used as selection or replenish, suspend that period can be with suspending the communication of ending between portable terminal and the content providing device not to providing in the situation about responding at the expiration the user.

Difficult point at displaying contents on the portable terminal is that original content format may be not suitable for being presented on the small screen of portable terminal.Because portable terminal is various, and the display capabilities between them is different, for the general content provider such as internet site who provides content to show in the terminal such as desktop PC (PC), provide a kind of content-data of form to be adapted at showing on the multiple portable terminal that this almost is impossible.Embodiments of the invention can come the formatting component data flow according to the special display properties of portable terminal by the format parts are provided, so that it can show in portable terminal, solve this problem.

In a preferred embodiment, the format parts are predefined parameter according to the display performance of movement-based terminal, content stream data is divided into the sequence of continuous section.Any content that can not show at portable terminal for example shows image in the terminal that the text display ability is only arranged, and can be divided into as the section that does not show.These segment bases are in device display performance parameter, the parameter of setting such as screen size and resolution parameter and user, and such as font size, color mode, automatic rolling pattern or time screen display mode.

Fig. 2 shows the example of formatting method.The initiation of step 201 sign format.Format parts 120 are determined the size of the section of portable terminal based on predefined parameter in step 202.For example, the size of section can be based on the quantity of the displayable feature of screen of the font size of specific terminal screen size and user's appointment.In step 205, the pointer of section is created (for first paragraph) or is increased (being section afterwards).In step 210, partial data stream is read in buffer, if there are not data in the buffer, this explanation data flow finishes 220, and format finishes 290.In step 230, the format parts determine whether the part that is buffered shows at portable terminal.For example, only can show that at portable terminal in the situation of text, view data is identified as and can not shows.In step 240, the data section of being assigned in the situation that data can show.According to the size of each section, buffer can be more greater or lesser than data segment.If determine that in step 250 section is discontented, format turns back in the step 210, the more part of data flow is read in the buffer, and repeating step 210 to 250, until section is full.In step 260, if whether section full (step 250), format check that buffer is by the complete section of being assigned to, if be not, so segment pointer is increased in step 270, and format repeating step 240 to 260 until this part is assigned in some sections fully.In case this part is assigned in some sections fully, step 205 is returned in format, and above step is repeated, until complete data flow is formatted.Formatted section can show that perhaps before demonstration, complete data flow is formatted by shown parts in format, this depends on the performance of portable terminal or user's preference.

Can not be in the situation that portable terminal shows in data, the section that each can not show during formaing can be included the section of displayable text data and replace, illustrate that the user can obtain the content that can not show from here, the for example link of a website, perhaps other the reference such as telephone number or contact address makes the user can obtain or locate the content that can not be shown.For example, content is the information about housing sale, and the image in house may can not show on portable terminal.Each section that can not show can be replaced with the section of the Internet address of the reference number that house property seller and Property Rights are provided, and can make the user use their PC easily to locate and image browsing.

Format also can comprise the document format switch process, the multiple format that can provide such as document has: Word, PDF, WEB, WAP, WML, HTML, HXTML, XML, XSL etc., the document of form of also can giving information has: SMS, MMS, EMS or HMS (handwrite messages), before carrying out above-mentioned format, these documents are converted into plain text document or text and picture format.Before the acquisition for mobile terminal content stream data, this pre-treatment step can be carried out at portable terminal, and another device such as PC that perhaps is provided the format parts is carried out.Can be used as selectively, above-mentioned format is processed also and can be carried out by the device such as the outside of PC, and data flow is divided into the section acquisition that is fit to show by being moved terminal like this.For example, download for the follow-up formatted data flow that will be presented on the portable terminal, process for reducing, this format about document is carried out by user PC, and therefore the portable terminal display document needs powered battery.

The embodiment that text rolls on the mobile phone screen will describe the operation of format parts 120 in detail with reference to figure 5 to 11 according to the present invention.

With reference to figure 5 example that content is provided with plain text format is described.In this example, content stream data is plain text data.According to the number of characters that shows delegation at the screen of portable terminal, the input text of document 500 is capable to be divided into several sections 530a-n.In possible situation, can based on complete word 520, avoid word to be split to multirow for divided section.For example, show here and comprise two word 520a and 520b among the 530a that is expert at.Number of characters at word surpasses in the situation of the number of characters that can show in delegation, and this word also must show in multirow.Can be used as selection, other operation such as reducing font size for this word or replacing with abbreviation also can make this word more clearly be shown.

In the present embodiment, the text that each section 530 corresponding delegation in sequence 510 show at mobile terminal screen 540, and multirow can be shown simultaneously.For the rolling text function is provided, each position coordinates that is displayed on the section in the screen 540 is increased, and refreshes demonstration behind each increasing, like this, each increases continuously and shows that text will appear on the screen 540, according to the direction of rolling up and down, left or move right.Edge when a section arrival screen stops showing that next section will begin at the opposite edge of screen demonstration.
