在本文中，我们描述了移动的链接（m-Links）的基础设施，利用现有的万维网的内容和服务的无线电话和其他非常小的互联网终端。非常小的设备，通常有3-20行文本，提供便携性和其他功能，同时牺牲了作为互联网终端的可用性。为了提供这样有限的硬件上的访问，我们提出了一个小设备的Web导航模型，这是更合适的比台式计算机的Web浏览模型。我们引入了一个中间件代理，导航引擎，通过简洁地显示Web的链接（即，URL）结构。因为并非所有的Web信息都被适当地“链接”，所以导航引擎结合了数据检测器来提取有用的信息，如电话号码和地址。为了最大化程序-数据的可组合性，多个基于网络的服务（类似于浏览器插件）都与链接的属性（如MIME类型）相关联。我们已经建立了这个系统，强调用户的可扩展性，我们描述的设计和实现，以及一套基本的中间件服务，我们发现是特别重要的。
In this paper we describe the Mobile Link (m-Links) infrastructure for utilizing existing World Wide Web content and services on wireless phones and other very small Internet terminals. Very small devices, typically with 3-20 lines of text, provide portability and other functionality while sacrificing usability as Internet terminals. In order to provide access on such limited hardware we propose a small device web navigation model that is more appropriate than the desktop computer's web browsing model. We introduce a middleware proxy, the Navigation Engine, to facilitate the navigation model by concisely displaying the Web's link (i.e., URL) structure. Because not all Web information is appropriately “linked,” the Navigation Engine incorporates data-detectors to extract bits of useful information such as phone numbers and addresses. In order to maximize program-data composibility, multiple network-based services (similar to browser plug-ins) are keyed to a link's attributes such as its MIME type. We have built this system with an emphasis on user extensibility and we describe the design and implementation as well as a basic set of middleware services that we have found to be particularly important.
