Zoomable Viewing of Business Documents on Mobile Phones
Consumer electronics maker Sharp Corp. said on Tuesday that it and Canadian software developer BitFlash had developed a type of electronic display system for viewing business documents on mobile phones, reports Yahoo News. "The software allows users to adjust the width and length of characters on the display of mobile phones without distorting their shape. In the past, mobile phones either did not allow users to adjust font size or would distort the shape of characters when they were made bigger or smaller. In order to view the business documents on a mobile phone, they must be first converted by a server into scalable vector graphics-tiny (SVG-T) format. Sharp said the new software was the first to use the SVG-T format in a mobile phone. The technology will be incorporated into Sharp's V601SH two-megapixel, or two-million pixel, camera phone for Vodafone Group Plc's Japanese wireless." See company press releases: Sharp / BitFlash. |
