A new method for accessing documents in environments with limited connection speed, storage and screen space
M. Yan, J. Fauteck, Shih-Ping Liou · 2003
A new system is presented for accessing remote document (ARD) in a limited computing environment. It provides mobile device (PDA, HPC and PPC) users with the ability to easily access remote documents over the Internet and to quickly view the content with its original look and feel without downloading and further to print or fax the document on a remote printer over the Internet. This is achieved through the combination of the unique document streaming-on-demand mechanism and the ability to preserve the original look and feel, and off-the-shell products that support Internet printing services. We describe in detail how the challenging issues are addressed and how the system is implemented.
