Abstract

"BCL proposes to make any electronic document of any format universally accessible to the Mobile Warrior from any electronic device, including handheld Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) using wireless connections. This forms the backbone of awarrior-centered knowledge management system where a mobile warrior can access any information from either proprietary document repositories or from the World Wide Web (WWW). BCL's proposed scheme uses it's proprietary document conversion techniques tobuild a unique repository of documents where documents of various formats are not only stored in their original format, they are converted to HTML format as well, keeping the layout and information intact. When accessing these documents using a wirelessPDA, the HTML documents are summarized using BCL's proprietary document summarization techniques. This summarization produces a Table of Content (TOC) for each page of the document. Depending on interest and relevancy, additional details about the entriesin the TOC can be accessed. So depending on whether the documents are accessed via standard computers or PDAs, the documents are either sent as is, as a HTML document or as a summary. The system can also be used for accessing the WWW directly and in thiscase, each web page is summarized and the summary sent to the PDA. Commercial Applications:[1] Wireless Carriers can package our solution to offer efficient mobile web browsing.[2] Content Providers ca
