Abstract

Efficient co-browsing of web-pages from devices with different capabilities requires users to have a shared understanding of those web-pages. This paper outlines the concept of shared view point (SVP) and personal view point (PVP) for co-browsing before detailing a framework for implementing these concepts and some of the algorithms involved. Particular emphasis is given to the display structure and semantic grouping of web-page objects and the subsequent repositioning of the same in the different view points. The effectiveness of the system is demonstrated through a perceptual experiment.
