Abstract

Normally web sites are designed for large screen devices and hence it is not easy to browse these pages with limited user interface devices such as palm and mobile. Web page segmentation is an important technology for both search engine and web browser on mobile device. Web page segmentation is a task that breaks down the structure of web page into logical blocks which is an important step for identifying informative blocks for efficient information extraction and convenient display on the devices with small size screens. Previous repetition based segmentation method is not suitable for segmenting blocks, when there is no reappearance tags in the web pages. In order to improve the segmentation accuracy, a new method of Reappearance Layout based Web page Segmentation (RLSE) is introduced which segments web pages based on either reappearance based segmentation (RSE) scheme or based on Layout based segmentation (LSE) such as table, div, span and frame tags , depends up on key pattern detected in the web page. If it contains reappearance tag in key pattern means, it will segment based on reappearance based segmentation. Otherwise it will segment based on web layout information. From that segmented block hyperlink is displayed on the mobile first and then user will select hyperlinks of segmented blocks based on his area of interest. The interested information alone is displayed to the user.
