Abstract

The number of mobile terminals with a Webbrowser has increased in recent years, and many diverse mobile services using the Internet have evolved. However, there are still limitations such as that it isdifficult to change or replace browser functionalities inmobile terminals. This is a factor in service providersbeing unable to freely provide services. We proposean extensible browser architecture (EBA) to extend thebrowser functions. The EBA consists of two layers:browser foundation and browser application layer. Thebrowser foundation layer provides the core functions ofthe browser as Java class libraries, The browser applications,which are written in the Java language anddownloadable, utilize modules using the browser classlibraries in the browser foundation layer to provide avariety of browser applications. Several applicationsdemonstrate the effectiveness of the EBA.
