Abstract
As the new HTML5 specification is being accepted, comprehensive HTML5-based mobile applications provide users with better experiences. Huge amount of existing Internet-based resources are rapidly integrated into mobile applications based on HTML5. However, this could result in some difficulties in adapting the resources into various types of existing mobile devices. To enhance the utilization of existing HTML5 based Internet resources into various mobile terminals, this paper proposed a new integration approach for mobile web applications, which can assist application service providers to provide HTML5-based mobile hybrid applications for various types of mobile ends. It is a novel attempt to quickly transplant huge emerging HTML5 Internet resources into mobile applications accepted by various mobile terminals. This work also examines necessary mechanisms and means to support the proposed framework seamlessly working with existing infrastructures. Finally, a prototype integration platform is built and comprehensive simulations are implemented to test and prove its high feasibility.
