A system is provided wherein relatively low-end computers, such as portable, battery-powered computers ordinarily incapable of sophisticated Internet browsing functions may be used to browse the Internet. The enhanced computing ability for such portables is provided by a unique Internet server adapted for transposing data files to alternative, low-information-density form, preferably comprising simplified or single files suitable for rapid processing and display by connected portable and other low-end computers In embodiments wherein batter-powered field units are used, battery life is exhibited far beyond what would be expected for a battery-powered computer with computing power for browsing the Internet directly. In some embodiments of the invention adapted files are saved and identified for future use in communicating with specific devices over Internet connections. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In a preferred embodiment of the invention a computing system is provided comprising a field computer comprising a display having a specific size and resolution; and a Proxy-Server connected to the field computer by a data link, the Proxy-Server having an Internet port.
The Proxy-Server is adapted in this preferred embodiment to access Internet servers through the Internet port directed by commands and data received from the field computer, to download data from the Internet servers thus accessed, to transpose the downloaded data by reducing information density, and to transfer the transposed data to the field computer via the data link in a Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) format.
A particular advantage in embodiments of the invention accrues in use of portable computers powered by electrical storage cell systems, such as by batteries of various sorts.
In these embodiments functionality to battery life is significantly extended.
Hand-held computers with computing power lower than one-hundred thousand instructions per second can be apparently fully functional Internet browsing tools, while enjoying battery life between charges of as much as two weeks, or more.
In various embodiments of the invention the Proxy-Server downloads data comprising WEB pages and transposes the data to match the specific size and resolution of the display of the field computer.
The Proxy-Server may also accomplish caching functions in handling data from the Internet to a field computer coupled to the Proxy-Server.
Also in some preferred embodiments of the invention, when a field computer makes a data link with a Proxy-Server adapted according to embodiments of the invention, the field computer transfers to the Proxy-Server information particular to specific characteristics of the field computer, such as the size and resolution of the display of the field computer.
The Proxy-Server then uses this information in transposing data for transfer to the field computer.
Various data links known in the art may be used for coupling field computers, such as battery-powered portable units, to a Proxy-Server according to embodiments of the invention
