Small Screen Aesthetics

Abstract:: Now-a-days when everything is going digitalized, internet and web plays a vital role in everyone’s life. When one has to ask something or has any online task to perform, one has to use internet to access relevant web-pages throughout. These web-pages are mainly designed for large screen terminals. But due to mobility, handy and economic reasons most of the persons are using small screen terminals (SST) like mobile phone, palmtop, pagers, tablet computers and many more. Reading a web page which is actually designed for large screen terminal on a small screen is time consuming and cumbersome task because there are many irrelevant content parts which are to be scrolled or there are advertisements, etc. Here main concern is e-business users. To overcome such issues the source code of a web page is organized in tree data-structure. In this paper we are arranging each and every main heading as a root node and all the content of this heading as a child node of the logical structure. Using this structure, we regenerate a web-page automatically according to SST size. Background:: DOM and VIPS algorithms are the main background techniques which are supporting the current research. Objective:: To restructure a web page in a more user friendly and content presenting format. Method Backtracking:: Method Backtracking: Results:: web page heading queue generation. Conclusion:: Concept of logical structure supports every SST.

Small Screen

This chapter examines Hollywood’s great rival, television, in a study of how television adapted the Broadway musical. Rather than looking at conventional stage-to-small-screen adaptations, however, the chapter focuses on how Carol Burnett’s TV show provided adaptations of another kind, that is, parodies of famous musicals. For example, the chapter explains how ‘Hold Me, Hamlet’ can be read as a parody/adaptation of Cole Porter’s Kiss Me, Kate, even retaining the doubling of the onstage/backstage musical format of the latter. Meanwhile, The Wiz is the clearest referent for ‘Cinderella Gets it On.’ These Burnett shows approach poesis because they take the form of the musical, and they often do comment upon it, but they are also genuine expressions of the form and the creators’ deep love and understanding of it.

Small Screen

Previous research has mainly focused on the determinants of consumers’ complaint channel choices. Little attention has been paid to the behavioral consequences of different complaint channels, particularly different complaint devices. Drawing on spatial crowding perception theory, this study finds that in an online complaint context, consumers’ complaint intensity is shaped by complaint devices that differ in screen size. Crowding perception produced by visually restrictive tension mediates the relationship between the screen size of the complaint device and the complaint intensity. The results of secondary data confirm that consumers’ complaint intensity is higher while complaining through a small-screen device (as opposed to a large-screen one). Three scenario-based experiments are conducted to examine the role of perceived spatial crowding in producing a more intense complaint behavior when complaints are submitted through smaller screen devices (as opposed to larger screen devices). The fourth experiment reveals that crowding perception can be lessened by adjusting certain design elements of the interface, ultimately mitigating the intensity of the complaint submitted through a small-screen device. Our research identifies the specific causality and underlying mechanism of the influence of device type on consumers’ postconsumption behavior, thus contributing to clarify some ambiguities in the literature.
