Abstract
A method and apparatus for unfolding dynamic web content in a wireless information gateway for presentation on wireless information devices. The apparatus includes an unfolding engine that converts dynamic web content to static web pages, and a wireless markup language translator module that translates static web content to a format suitable for display by wireless devices. The method includes the steps of intercepting a request for a web page from a wireless device; determining if the requested web page is already stored in an interpreted page cache; fetching the requested web page from an appropriate web server; reading the returned web page in an unfolding engine to detect any dynamic content embedded in the returned web page; unfolding any dynamic content into multiple static content pages by simulation of all possible paths in a dynamic content runtime environment; generating multiple static web pages from the output of the dynamic content runtime environment; storing the multiple static web pages in the interpreted page cache; and delivering to the wireless device one of the stored multiple static web pages appropriate to each action taken on the dynamic content at the reques…
