Designing a mobile device automatic detector to support mobile library systems

Abstract

Content providers cannot ensure that digital material will be reformatted and accessed by any mobile device correctly due to mobile device limitations. A mobile device automatic detector can provide accurate information about devices accessing mobile library systems. This information can be used to properly render content for the specific device. This paper proposes an approach to designing a detector which will support mobile library systems so as to render web content dynamically and adaptively. The overall architecture of the detector is also discussed in this paper and follows from a simple experimental study to evaluate the design proposed here.
