US Patent 10083154B2, titled "Scalable display of internet content on mobile devices," was issued to SoftView LLC. The inventors listed are Gary B. Rohrabaugh and Scott A. Sherman. The application was filed on November 18, 2016, and the patent was published on September 25, 2018.

The abstract describes a system where mobile devices are enabled for resolution-independent scalable display of Internet (Web) content, allowing Web pages to be scaled (zoomed) and panned for better viewing on smaller screens. This is achieved through software-based processing of original Web content (HTML, XML, CSS) to generate scalable content. This scalable content is then used for rapid rendering, zooming, and panning. The patent also mentions the use of display lists for improved rendering speed and supports context zooms, including tap-based zooms on columns, images, and paragraphs.

A plain-language overview of the independent claims is as follows:

• Claim 1 describes a mobile hand-held device comprising a processor, a wireless communications device, a touch-sensitive display, and flash memory storing instructions for an HTML rendering engine. The device receives and processes HTML documents, including HTML and CSS code, to render a first representation with an interpreted page layout. This processing involves parsing HTML elements, logically grouping content into HTML objects, generating page layout information with bounding boxes for each object, and linking objects to their page layout information. The device then translates this first representation into a scalable vector representation by defining a primary datum for the page layout, an object datum for each HTML object's bounding box, generating a vector between these datums, and creating a reference linking the object to the vector. Finally, it renders this scalable vector representation on the touch-sensitive display using a first scale factor to fit the HTML document across the display's width. The scalable vector representation allows users to view the HTML document at user-defined zoom levels by rendering with different scale factors in response to touch inputs, while preserving the interpreted page layout, functionality, and design of the content.

• Claim 13 outlines a method performed by a mobile hand-held device with a touch-sensitive display and an HTML rendering engine. The method mirrors the functionality described in Claim 1: receiving and processing an HTML document to render a first representation, translating this into a scalable vector representation (including defining datums, generating vectors, and creating references), and rendering the scalable vector representation on the touch-sensitive display at a first zoom level. This method also allows for user-defined zoom levels via touch input, maintaining the original page layout, functionality, and design.

• Claim 20 is directed to a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobile hand-held device, cause the device to perform a method. This method is essentially the same as described in Claim 13, encompassing the receipt, processing, translation (including datum and vector generation), and rendering of HTML documents on a touch-sensitive display with scalable zoom capabilities while preserving the original layout and design.

• Claim 21 describes a mobile hand-held device that receives a document including a plurality of HTML elements and, in response to a user input via its touch-sensitive display, generates a scaled representation of a user-selectable portion of the document. This scaled representation is displayed to fit across the width of the touch-sensitive display. The claim specifies that the scaled representation maintains the original interpreted page layout, functionality, and design of the content, and that various views can be rendered in real-time to effect zooming operations.

• Claim 22 describes a mobile hand-held device for displaying content from a web page on a touch-sensitive display. The device includes a processor and flash memory storing instructions. These instructions enable the device to generate a scalable vector representation of the web page content and, in response to a user input via the touch-sensitive display, scale and pan the web page content at a user-selectable scale factor and pan offset. The device then renders the scaled and panned web page content on the display, preserving the original page layout, functionality, and design.

• Claim 23 describes a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobile hand-held device, cause the device to perform a method. This method involves generating a scalable vector representation of web page content and, in response to a user input via a touch-sensitive display, scaling and panning the web page content at a user-selectable scale factor and pan offset. The method concludes with rendering the scaled and panned content on the display while preserving the original page layout, functionality, and design.

• Claim 25 outlines a method of displaying content from a web page on a mobile hand-held device with a touch-sensitive display. The method involves generating a scalable vector representation of the web page content. In response to a user input via the touch-sensitive display, the web page content is scaled and panned at a user-selectable scale factor and pan offset. Finally, the scaled and panned web page content is rendered on the touch-sensitive display, ensuring that the original page layout, functionality, and design are preserved.
