In mobile computing environments, handheld devices with low functionality restrict the services provided for mobile users. We propose a new concept of collaborative browsing, where mobile users collaboratively browse web pages designed for desktop PC. In collaborative browsing, a web page is divided into multiple components, and each is distributed to a different device. In mobile computing environments, the number of handheld devices, their capabilities, and other conditions can vary widely amongst mobile users who want to browse content. Therefore, we developed a page partitioning method for collaborative browsing, which divides a web page into multiple components. Moreover, we designed and implemented a collaborative web browsing system in which users can search and browse their target information by discussing and watching partial pages displayed on multiple devices.
