Abstract
Embedded browser is widely utilized to display
User Interface in embedded systems. In the mechanism
of embedded browser, a difficult problem is how to
process and display the dynamic data in web page
flexibly. In order to resolve the problem, an effective
iframe-based strategy for processing dynamic data in
embedded browser is proposed and presented in this
paper. Furthermore, a solution based on this strategy
is implemented on embedded system. The experimental
results show that compared with traditional solution,
the novel one decreases the complexity of processing
dynamic data and increases the response velocity of
embedded browser conspicuously.
Keywords --Embedded Browser, Dynamic Data,
Relating Data, Iframe, User Interface.
1. Introduction
With the developing of embedded system devices,
embedded devices have been used widely in
electronics, communication, traffic, finance, network,
automation and so on. Especially the combination of
embedded devices and Internet technology is more and
more tight, which is the symbol of the future of
embedded technology. Among this, the embedded
browser [1] [2] [3] is the necessary part.
Embedded browser is portable, reliable and
customizable. With the improvement of the supporting
ability to network and system application, embedded
browser goes to systemize, modularize and be
extensible to implement the customizable function.
Besides browsing Internet web page on embedded
system, embedded browser shows user interface (UI)

Research and Development Program of China (No. 2007AA01Z235).
by defining web page through static web page and
binding application program interface (API). In this
way, embedded implement the human machine
interaction (HMI), which can simplify the UI design to
web page design and decrease the update on coding
level [4] [5] [6].
With the development and application of embedded
system, it appears some services demanding dynamic
data shown on UI, such as electronic program guide
(EPG) in digital video broadcast (DVB). Consequently
on systems using embedded browser to show UI, this
demand goes to embedded browser to obtain and
present dynamic data. In this case, respective response
should be taken and shown based on dynamic data. If
we take the manners of designing static web page to
achieve the goal, the workload of web page design will
be increased enormously, and some functions would
not be carried out due to the unpredictable dynamic
data. Thus, how to fulfill the presentation and response
of dynamic data becomes a major factor whether the
demand can be met on embedded browser. Aim at the
problem, we studied and proposed an effective iframebased
strategy for processing dynamic data in
embedded browser in this paper. Experimental result
shows that by using this strategy, we implemented the
users’ demand of presenting and responding to the
dynamic data, with a decrease in complexity of web
page design and coupling degree between data content
and embedded browser.
